Also, the Great Journey ''is'' a false religion and ITS A VIDEO GAME!--[[User talk:Kre 'Nunumee|Kre 'Nunumee]] 17:04, 28 August 2009 (UTC) | Also, the Great Journey ''is'' a false religion and ITS A VIDEO GAME!--[[User talk:Kre 'Nunumee|Kre 'Nunumee]] 17:04, 28 August 2009 (UTC) | ||
I know these discussions were years ago, but reading this I think that it's not objective enough: there are sections that read less like an encyclopedia and more like a dramatic retelling. It's cool, granted, but I feel like it doesn't meet the standards for the wiki's style of writing. Stuff like "Then, the unthinkable happened"; referring to the Halos as "sacred rings" outside quotation marks; saying "The Flood, or 'The Parasite' as referred to by members of the Covenant, are an unholy, virulent species" etc. Should this be changed or is there a purpose to it? -- [[User:126 Joyous Testimony|126 Joyous Testimony]] 22:09, 28 March 2017 (UTC) | |||
:You're absolutely right, those parts should be altered to be more neutral. Even if this is a Covenant-focused article it shouldn't read like it's written from Covenant POV. --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|talk]]) 00:40, 29 March 2017 (EDT) | |||

::I was considering something similar. "The Path" is much more nondescriptive as an article title than the current one.

:::I don't know about it being an official or unofficial name for their religion, any more than calling Jesus "the Light and the Way" makes that an unofficial name for Christianity, especially since the Covenant seem to have no separation between religion, government and culture.

::::I agree about keeping the page title as it is.

I believe the Great Journey deserves its own page. Not only is it a central concept in the Covenant religion, but we should also cover its significance to the Forerunners in regards to their exile (which we've known about since the ''Halo 3'' terminals). --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|talk]]) 03:01, 10 October 2016 (EDT) | |||
Agreed, I thought we actually had a page on that until I read this. [[User:Alertfiend|Alertfiend]] - Warning, my comments may appear passive aggressive. <small>([[User talk:AlertFiend|Converse]]) </small> 06:03, 10 October 2016 (EDT) | |||
:| I agree. The same goes for the concept of the Reclamation. This is somewhere Halo Wiki is actually ahead of us, sadly.c-Japeth555 | |||
