Yeah, i never actually payed attention to your userpage, but i finally saw the ROTC stuff. I preparing to enroll in a JROTC, my Recruiter said it's part of the quickest way to become an Army pilot (flying Blackhawks).

::Nice. Yeah, if you want to enlist, they may give you a higher pay grade with four years in JROTC. They could also require less time in OCS or ROTC if you want to get a comission. --<b>[[User:ED|<font color="000000">ED</font>]]_{([[User talk:ED|<font color="000000">talk</font>]])}^{[http://halopedian.com/User:ED/Gaming<font color="000000">(gaming)]</font>}</b> 02:06, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

== This is for you! ==

I just looked through the history of my userpage, and i noticed PENIS has vandalized my page many times while i was away on other wikis. Could you lock it for me?

:Also, i've noticed the [[User:TeamHazard]] has vandalized [[User:KillerCRS]]'s talk edits, and now TeamHazard has vandalized the [[Imperial Admiral]] page, listing himself as one of the known Imperial Admirals. I'd say based on his past edits, it's only going to get worse, i think you should consider banning him for awhile. I'll check into his contribs to see if he vandalized anything else. I'll contact you again when/if i get more intel.

:PS: He edited the UNSCoH member list to make himself General and leader of the UNSCoH. He needs to be put down, sir.

Nono, he didn't attack anyone, he just vandalized pages to make himself more important, such as naming himself an Imperial Admiral and the leader of the UNSC0H. And according to Killer he's changing what others say.

PS: Thank you for protecting my page.

:Sir, User:TeamHazard deleted your warning/ban notice from his talk page, but before he deleted it, he wrote: "i rock dudes". I think he may try to vandalize again, you may to watch him in the future. I'll keep you informed if i see anything else.

:::Oh don't worry, he's already in the log as having a history. If he vandalises again, it won't matter if he deleted my warning or not. --<b>[[User:ED|<font color="000000">ED</font>]]_{([[User talk:ED|<font color="000000">talk</font>]])}^{[http://halopedian.com/User:ED/Gaming<font color="000000">(gaming)]</font>}</b> 18:44, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, they hit my Half-Life wiki about two weeks ago, i honestly hate this new version. It has issues with the images, if you go to the actual image page, nothing appears. It's doing that on several other wikis i've seen. If you happen to find a way to fix it, please tell me how, i'd love to get the images working correctly again. Later.

::Thanks — [[User:71.164.223.127|71.164.223.127]] 00:16, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

1138 here to explain myself. Uncivil and I are friends, in fact I give him a ride to and from school. One day he remarks that Manticore has been acting like a dick. He said the same about Phil.e and yourself, but on Caboose's talk page in a friendly message to her (they seem to be friends now). I figured that it was for the same reasons he said it about Phil.e and yourself. With Phil.e it was on the IRC. When Uncivil would log in Phil.e would say go away vandal and them boot him. As with you he made an account or two after he was done vandalizing and before he could do something you banned it. So I went to check it out and I read both sides of the conversation. And wrote the first paragraph of my message, which was ment to be a hey drop it its his opinion sorta thing. Then I looked at the history of the posts. Uncivil making his remark on May 10, Caboose archiving it, then on May 25 Manticore makes an issue of it. That lead me to think that Manticore saw it was UncivilGoth after he came back from his ban, acted rather over-zealous about it in an attempt to get him off the wikia. After I saw that and the Block logs saying that Uncivil was banned, undoubtedly because of Manticore, I made my little speach on his page. That's what I have to say. If you're going to ban me for my remarks, I don't really care, I'll pull a PENIS and make a new account and return to continue my work. I still think that Manticore was trying to get Uncivil out. I mean think about it, Uncivil called two people dicks on CABOOSE's page. If something was going to be done, ie a warning, don't you think the founder of the AVC would have done it?

<br>

:Secondly, about blocking. MediaWiki's new blocking format does not just block one acount, it blocks one ''IP Address.'' When I blocked UncivilGoth666, I didn't just block his name, I blocked his IP address. This prevents vandals from creating new accounts when their old ones are blocked. So, I didn't ban any of his subsequent accounts, its just that his block extends to any interaction he tried to make with Halopedia from his computer. The same would happen to you, if you are banned. There will be no new accounts. The only exception to this is when using an open proxy, with modulating IP Addresses, which PENIS uses. That is expensive software that is bought and programmed well to make the trouble that it does.  

:Third, yes I hate this new software, we will have to adjust our coding once again, and half of our resident programmers are nowhere to be found. --<b>[[User:ED|<font color="000000">ED</font>]]_{([[User talk:ED|<font color="000000">talk</font>]])}^{[http://halopedian.com/User:ED/Gaming<font color="000000">(gaming)]</font>}</b> 02:54, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

If you need help programming, just ask me. I'm usually free, and i know HTML and some other types of coding. I'm not as good as RR at creating this stuff, but i can hold my own with the big boys. Just tell me what you need and i can test it on the Combine OverWiki (half-life) to make sure it works (as i can't edit MediaWiki here).

== IRC Access ==

:Heh. IRC has no affiliation with wikia, so our standings on them have no correlation. I probably have level 1 access there, and in the absence of Dragonclaws I'm the oldest Halopedia user here. I only ever used the IRC once. --<b>[[User:ED|<font color="000000">ED</font>]]_{([[User talk:ED|<font color="000000">talk</font>]])}^{[http://halopedian.com/User:ED/Gaming<font color="000000">(gaming)]</font>}</b> 13:35, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

What timeline are we looking at for GPT's RfA? As far as I'm aware none of the current admins had RfA's and seeing as RR's didn't go well we don't really have anything to go by. Or are we going for number of votes more than time?

:Yeah, up until this point we had been to small to need RfAs, and I'm really the only one managing them. I'm going by 1) number of support votes and 2) all "oppose" points having been answered. GPT's RfA currently has 14 people for him, when our community has hundreds/thousands of usernames, and though most of them are transient users, I think enough people have gotten a taste of his style that they can vote. If we can get 30/40 people for HOTM every month, we can get that many for an RfA. --<b>[[User:ED|<font color="000000">ED</font>]]_{([[User talk:ED|<font color="000000">talk</font>]])}^{[http://halopedian.com/User:ED/Gaming<font color="000000">(gaming)]</font>}</b> 13:50, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

== RR for admin ==

::From what I see, a Beaurocrat can only grant Sysop and Beaurocrat rights, not revoke them. The admin can only block another admin, it probably takes a wikia staff member to remove those rights, as they are usually only removed from inactive accounts and those compriomised by vandals. If it came down to it, [[User:Angela|Angela]] or one of her staff would have to be contacted to mediate. --<b>[[User:ED|<font color="000000">ED</font>]]_{([[User talk:ED|<font color="000000">talk</font>]])}^{[http://halopedian.com/User:ED/Gaming<font color="000000">(gaming)]</font>}</b> 04:14, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey ED,

This whole idea disadvantages users if they don't play the games (or whatever) for his other wikis. I don't really get the whole idea of the CoH ranking system, but I know its supposed to be so Halopedia users can be proud of their contributions to ''this'' wiki. I just wanted to get some thoughts on the matter, whether or not you think its appropriate, etc.

Cheers,

:I have noticed this...I'm not entirely sure if it's ethical, but I'd suggest speaking to Donut THX 1138 privately, like through [[Special:Emailuser/Donut THX 1138]], before bringing it up before all to see in Halopedia.
