Like my response to question #2, I would say that sharing my knowledge of ''Halo'' canon is my biggest contribution to the community.

My most important ''specific'' contribution was probably | My most important ''specific'' contribution was probably clarifying that the ''Halo 4''-era Covenant are not called "the Storm". This has led to many members of the ''Halo'' community (not just ''Halopedia'') referring to the faction as the "Covenant ''Capital R''-emnant" as if it's an official in-universe name. Oh well. | ||

Admins are also responsible for organizing the community for special projects, (such as Xbox LIVE playdates); for informing everyone of proposed policy changes and encouraging them to vote; for ensuring that the news bulletins on the main page are up-to-date; and so forth. I know that many of my rights as a patroller (such as protecting pages) would be carried over, so the learning curve shouldn't be particularly high. | ||

I do have Xbox LIVE, but I keep my gamertag to myself with few exceptions. I should say that multiplayer isn't really my cup of tea. It's definitely fun and I'm very good at it for someone who almost never plays online. However, I care about story and campaign far more than frenetic PvP action. | I do have Xbox LIVE, but I keep my gamertag to myself with few exceptions.
