Hate to resurrect an old argument here, but as far as I recall, every other Halo novel besides Halo: The Flood that I've read- and I'm fairly certain I haven't missed one yet- consistently uses every Sangheili's first name as the shorthand. For example, Halo: The Cole Protocol consistently uses "Thel" as Thel 'Vadam(ee)'s shorthand name, while Halo: The Ghosts of Onyx consistently uses "Voro" as Voro Nar 'Mantakree's shorthand name. Heck, most of Thel's handpicked group aren't even ''given'' last names, so this rule is even used in actual speech in The Cole Protocol's case. Going from seeing every other major Sangheili character referred to by their first name to Rtas consistently referred to as "'Vadumee" and "'Vadum" whenever mentioned by name in the article is just really jarring and ruins the internal consistency Halopedia has going. Would anyone mind if I went and changed most of the instances of "'Vadumee" and "'Vadum" to "Rtas", to fit the naming conventions followed by the majority of the canon as well as the majority of the Sangheili character articles here on Halopedia?

:It should also be noted that readers might confused Vadum(ee) with Vadam(ee).
