User talk:ED/15

User dispute?
I don't see that as a user dispute. He disagreed with the way I block people, and he called me a wicked conspirator, which seems to me to be a personal attack. What specifically were your reasons for making it into a cooldown block? Also, I prefer day-long cooldowns, just because two hours doesn't really do very much. Two hours just isn't a long time, especially this late at night. -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 04:21, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It really does look like a user dispute to me. From his userpage, he really does not appear to dislike you at all (in fact he seems to admire you) and, as 2401PT is a veteran user with high standing in the minds of many, he is not the type to make personal attacks, and as he has been part of Halopedia for several months with no block, he deserves a warning to let him think about what he has said. And so, as a veteran user, he also should understand our policies. If he returns and insults you again, his block may increase substantially. But in my time as an admin, no vet user has ever come back from a cooldown ban and kept on harassing. At this time of night, its just as likely he will go to bed and cool down.


 * The difference between harassment and personal attacks is that harassment is made at the spur of the moment in response to something that makes a user mad. Personal attacks are more premeditated and more personal. Of course, I'd suggest mediating those too, the block has always been my absolute last resort! -- DEMON SPAWN  ED  04:30, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Sirs, with all due respect, my evaluation of the comment is that it was flamboyant, as a display of exceptional linguistic prowess, and insouciant, and I advised GPT that it was a regular joke...like I'm the COOOKIE MASTAH and cabal commander. ^^ Cheers, RelentlessRecusant  'o the Halopedia Team http://images.wikia.com/rainbowsix/images/7/73/GDI2.jpg TALK • MESSAGE 04:32, 14 August 2007 (UTC)


 * FYI, my block was before I was advised aboot that... and I'm just much moar strict--if someone breaks the rules, regardless of whether it was premeditated or not, /me reaches for block. -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 04:36, 14 August 2007 (UTC)


 * You may find that blocking quickly and strictly harms your own standing, as well as Halopedia overall. Have paitence, my friend! -- DEMON SPAWN  ED  04:38, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Fully concur, Commanders. While it may not be my place to suggest as such, I feel similarly to ED. Perhaps we should take this aside privately? The cabal communications method (not the one sending IBCMs with "Hi!" written on them) comes to mind. ;-) Cheers, RelentlessRecusant  'o the Halopedia Team http://images.wikia.com/rainbowsix/images/7/73/GDI2.jpg TALK • MESSAGE 04:40, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Mission to Eridanus Secundus
Why was this page deleted and made a redirect? You don't seem to have typed a reason for the edit anywhere. I created the page because as far as I could tell, there wasn't any other way to look up which Spartans were involved in the mission. --68.44.13.236 05:26, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The information on the mission is covered in the Eridanus Secundus, Eridanus Rebels, and History of the Spartan Projects articles. -- DEMON SPAWN  ED  16:57, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, only the third link there currently has the list of Spartans involved in the mission; and it seems kind of a specific piece of information for a summary of the entire program's history. Also, there's no rule that the same information can't appear in more than one place. Reverted. --68.44.13.236 22:47, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Dear ED,

I had the vague notion to ask CommanderTony on Sunday, and I asked the Q, but we were caught up...meh...anyways, I'll probably take "B", as CT is likely to be sentimental about "D". =]

Re: IP invites
Hey Ed,

I always sign whenever I leave the welcome template or IP invite template, but thanks for the reminder :)

Its quite coincidental that you left me this message, because I've recently added coding to the IP invite so that you won't have to use the tildes, it'll sign automatically.

Guess you're kinda right aboot that, but at least having a minimum number of mainspace edits persuades users to contribute more to the wiki than to just the community... meh. /me was thinking 250, but it's up to j00. -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 03:25, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Hola, amigo!
Dear sir,

It looks that I forgot to tell you that over the weekend, CommanderTony and I discussed, and I've been plopped into command of "B" Company. It feels distinctly unnatural to be issuing to you orders, so I guess since you're extremely active with the company, I'll see what I can think up, and then get back to you on it. I feel that we'll get stiff competition from the Dingos, so let's fight on! =]

Suggestion for "B" Company page design
Dear ED,

I know you've done a lot of work to the company page, so I thought I wanted to consult with you before doing anything. ^^ Perhaps we could use the TOC code to force the TOC up top to make navigation easier, and fit a picture into the styled infobox? And maybe we could centralize the page around IA drives more...possibly give rewards for pushing through UNSC-affiliated FAs? ^^

Namespaces
Do we have namespaces for other Halopedias, like Wikipedia? Until next time, respect them Grunts. This is M  o  u  e, squeaking out! 21:48, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not quite sure what you mean. We do have other namespaces on Halopedia (Template, Halopedia, Image, etc) and all other language Halopedias have them too, in their own languages (es.Halopedia has "Usario" instead of "User", "Ayuda" instead of "Help"). Is that what you mean? -- DEMON SPAWN  ED  22:05, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
 * No, I mean like how the namespace "wikipedia" links to Wikipedia. Do we have namespaces that link to other Halopedias? Until next time, respect them Grunts. This is M  o  u  e, squeaking out! 22:56, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, all wikia wikis have that. Ours is  wikia:c:halo:PAGE NAME . Put that on any other wiki, it should link to the page here. -- DEMON SPAWN  ED  23:20, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Yeah. Spanish Halopedia is  wikia:c:es.halo:PAGENAME , German Halopedia:  wikia:c:de.halo:PAGENAME , French Halopedia:  wikia:c:fr.halo:PAGENAME , Japaneese Halopedia:  wikia:c:ja.halo:PAGENAME , and Polish Halopedia:  wikia:c:pl.halo:PAGENAME  -- DEMON SPAWN  ED  00:32, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Before I start this rampage, making such coding is possible, and just concerns putting the link at the end, right? Until next time, respect them Grunts. This is M  o  u  e, squeaking out! 00:36, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but make sure you use the colon before the page name, or it will just link to the homepage. But see for yourself...wikia:c:es.halo:Cortana, or wikia:c:de.halo:Master Chief. Keep in mind though, that you'll need to use Japaneese characters to link to the japaneese site. -- DEMON SPAWN  ED  01:02, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Military
Hello ED,

When I was looking at all of the Userboxes, I seemed to notice you created and use all of the USAF and US Army JROTC/ROTC userboxes.

I was just wondering, do you plan to go into the US Military soon?

BTW, I created a new JROTC userbox! :)

Level Walkthroughs done by HaloRocks!
FINE! I guess I will just stop contributing then because what ever I put on halopedia '''ALWAYS seems to get deleted. DO NOTE THAT I PUT THE ENEMIES ENCOUNTERED IN HALO AND HALO 2 AND THE WEAPONS THAT THEY USED IN THE WALKTHROUGHS BECAUSE THEY USUALLY CHANGE THROUGHOUT ALL DIFFICULTY LEVELS. FOR EXAMPLE: IF YOU SAY THERE IS A ULTRA ELITE ON THE PILLAR OF AUTUMN ON THE LEVEL TEMPLATE, THEN THE INFORMATION WOULD ONLY BE TRUE ON LEGENDARY. SAME WITH THE WEAPONS. ELITES MAY ONLY WEILD PLASMA PISTOLS AND PLASMA RIFLES ON ONE DIFFICULTY LEVEL WHILE THEY MAY WIELD THAT PLUS A NEEDLER ON ANOTHER DIFFICULTY LEVEL. THE INFORMATION THAT I PUT ON THE WALKTHROUGHS WOULD HAVE GIVEN THE PERSON READING THE ARTICLE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEVEL. ALSO I AM NOT TELLING SOMEONE THAT THEY NEED MY PERMISSION TO EDIT THE LEVEL, ALL I AM SAYING IS THAT BEFORE THEY DELETE OR ADD SOMETHING TO MY SECTION THAT I EDITED, I WOULD LIKE THEM TO TELL ME WHAT THEY HAVE DONE SO I CAN EITHER THANK THEM OR QUESTION THEM! I AM NOT KEEPING SOMEONE FROM EDITING A CERTAIN PAGE, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON! Sorry if anybody mis-understood.''' --HaloRocks! 19:15, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

 * First, it is incredibly irritating when you write a statement in all caps lock and bolded. Second, the eiits you made were, once again, redundant. In fact, they took up a large amount of the page and in the end, the information they provided was not necessarily correct. Enemies spawn randomly in Halo and Halo 2, and though their weapons vary, they have a set number of weapons that can appear, just like there is a set type of enemy to appear. Thus, the enemies encoutnered and the weapons encountered are completely random and can vary when playing the level more than once. -- DEMON SPAWN  ED  02:00, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
