| '''Your best contribution to an article:''' My best contribution to an article was probably on the Neill Blomkamp and Peter Jackson articles.
| |
|
| |
| '''Your best contribution to Halopedia:''' My best contributions to Halopedia would be the two articles above, O also check some pages to see if they have any spelling or grammar mistakes which I then would fix and I work a lot on the trivia of pages and I create a lot of polls and quizz questions which everyone likes (not just mine in general but all of them.)
| |
| | |
| '''Why you think that you'd be a good news editor:''' I would make a good editor for a couple reasons. 1.) A lot of people know me here on Halopedia and know I have a good personality. 2.) I write movie scripts which would pretty much blow you away. 3.) I'm a Halo expert especially when it comes to Halo Wars. 4.) I'm just an all around good guy to hang out with and I'm a good person to talk to. 5.) I'm doing well in English at school and would of had a position for the school paper but I ended up going to a different school. 6.) I would be able to get interviews from fellow Halopedians (it's part of my career to interview people.) 7.) I welcome all the new users that I can so that they will have a warm welcome and will hopefully return.

| '''Your best contribution to an article:''' Probably the work I did on the Alpha Base article a while back, just because there was barely anything to that article and I more than quadrupled its size with just shear amount of facts.
| |
| | |
| '''Your best contribution to Halopedia:''' All the work I did finding the little things that Bungie and the book authors snuck in, such as several undiscovered references to 7.
| |
| | |
| '''Why you think that you'd be a good news editor:''' I think that I would be a good editor because I have a unique style of writing that makes even dry facts interesting to read, i am able to focus not only on the big picture but the little everyday things that makes halo great, and i have a great eye for detail, which will make for more interesting reads. I don't really care about if anyone knows what i write, just so long as someone gets to read quality work.

| |
| | |
| '''Your best contribution to Halopedia:''' I have have created several new mainspace articles, including the one I am most fond of, [[Dante Alighieri]] I am also constantly improving the spelling and grammar of numerous articles, as well as bringing a number of new users to Halopedia including one straight from the ranks of Halo Custom Edition Multiplayer.

| '''Why you think that you'd be a good news editor:''' I have a massive knowledge of all things relating to Halo. I own ALL of the games, ALL of the novels, ALL the guides, as well as the Halo Graphic Novel. I often read Halo news on sites like Bungie, and have a deep passion for learning and reporting new things about Halo. I am confidant that I can bring good stories to Halopedia, with accuracy, poise, detail and maybe even a little levity.

I have created the [[Halo Wars Skulls]] page, I have created half the [[Halo 3 Skulls]] page and the [[List of Greek Mythology References in Halo]] page. See [[user:JEA13/My Work|here]] for more info.
| |
| | |
| '''Your best contribution to Halopedia:''' I have used the Blacklist, I have reported vandals numerous times, when I find a crap page I place the <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[template:Delete|Delete]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki> template on it, something that nobody has done before. As above, I have also created many new pages and templates.

| '''Why you think that you'd be a good news editor:''' I am everyday on Bungie.net and know what's going on around in the <nowiki>[[Halo Nation]]</nowiki>. I am quick to report every strange thing I see to an elder in Halopedia, and, if I was able to write them on my own for everyone to know at once it would be great. I have great knowledge of the Halo storyline, I have great knowledge of English grammar and orthography, and i dont talk liek dis and i hav never dan so b4

| |
| | |
| '''Your best contribution to Halopedia:''' Well I fix spelling and grammar mistakes most of the time, but I also hunt down and erase spam, mark up articles for deletion when they aren't useful, welcome users to Halopedia and give my opinion on current events.
| |
| | |
| '''Why you think that you'd be a good news editor:''' I'm on Halopedia and X-Box Live nearly every day, making me very Halo-aware. My nitpickingness for proper grammar and spelling is what I am known for, though I am also good at rewording what others say and create theories based on what has been said and shown. Also, I stay up-to-date on current events by paying careful attention to the least biased news source in history, BBC News, so I know what a news story is to look like. Finally, I tend to check recent edit history and the like, as well as read up on my messages, and have the Main Page on my watch list, so I know when something important is going on. I guess that's a little long, but it serves its purpose.

| |

| '''Your best contribution to Halopedia:''' I have stopped many vandals on this site, as well as undoing bad edits and other miscellaneous Clean up. I also try to fix biased or presented facts on halopedia, correcting them to a proper format.

| '''Why you think that you'd be a good news editor:''' I do massive editing all over the internet, correcting grammar and fixing up sentences. I can detect nearly ever grammatical error in a text as I read it, and correct it as soon as I can. I am also fairly halo-aware, I am on most days and I am usually up to date with most occurrences and updates on the halo universe. On top of that, I will have the recent edits open on my computer nearly every day so I can know what is happening with halopedia as soon as possible.

| '''Why you think that you'd be a good news editor''':'Cause I do a shit-load of article-cleanup work.

| '''Best contribution to an article''' I don't make extensive contributions to many articles, but I did update the Kojo Agu article with information from a screen capture.
| |
| | |
| '''Best contribution to Halopedia''' I am a grammar and spelling man. I make many edits a day. I normally try to get at least five edits per day. Since I joined only a couple of months ago, I have made over four hundred edits. Most of these have been corrections to grammar. If there is an error in grammar, you can bet I will get to it.
| |
| | |
| '''Why I should be a news editor''' I am a Halo addict. As such, I constantly check for new information about Halo. I check Bungie.net, Halo.bungie.org, Halo Waypoint and Xbox.com at least ten times a day each. If I am constantly looking for news, I would love to share the information I find.

| |
| | |
| '''Why I should be a news editor''': It occurs to me that I've alreadybeen adding news submissions, and that without being an accepted news contributor this is not a good thing. I ensure that my knowledge of recent happenings within the Halo community is up-to-date, including the release of information on material and events.

I’m a huge fan of Halo and I’m frequently on IGN.com or Google searching the latest Halo news. I also love to watch lots of Halo 3 machinima and can do research and other things too. I also have read some of the Halo related books making me a good resource.
