Hello, I Think the medals page for halo 5 is incomplete and needs work, I am bad at making new pages. Thanks

Hi Jugus, I commented on the Talk page. I'll see if I can get anything further.

Hey, I have a quick request to make of you, when you have the time. Could scan the image of Arbiter Thel 'Vadam's armor on page 111 from the Halo Mythos book? I would do it myself except I do not have a printer-scanner, and even if I did there is no guarantee it would turn out right. I'm asking because the armor is from Halo 2 Anniversary, and I feel the wiki could use an image with a white background. Thanks! (Btw, I sent this to you on Discord, but I don't know if you ever read it.)

Can I ask for help on refining and improving these pages with instructions on how you make the logos? :) Also for future logos you make put them there. Helps in the long run with this sorta stuff.

Thank you :D May I ask if you can make this image clearer without "any" white around it at all? I was hoping to use it to replace our main current logo image we have.

Question on the walkthrough infobox templates, do we prefer an image under the 'era' section that links to the associated game (as seen in the walkthroughs for Halo Reach and Halo 5) or just a standard [[]] link to the associated game (as seen in the walkthroughs for Halo CE and Halo 3)? A third alternative is found on Halo 3 ODST articles where the actual era image thumbnail is used straight up with no link at all.

An additional question: Do you think it'd be worthwhile to create a List of Walkthroughs template to put at the bottom of walkthrough pages similar to the soundtrack one from that earlier project (with subgroups for each game's walkthroughs)?

Thank you.

"Hard to believe" in what context?

Hey, I'm having some serious issues with the wiki logging in and out. Sometimes it shows me as logged in. Other times it shows me as logged out. When I try to log in I get "There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Go back to the previous page, reload that page and then try again."

Any idea what's going on and if you are any other admins can help me with this technical issue?

Thanks!

Why did you reverse my edits in the ships pages? I know "lots of things are probable" but it's always better having new information than not having them. Also, not only the frigates on board of the Infinity have shields, but all the other frigates have them too (would it make sense to put the shields just on a few ones? i think it wouldn't). Please don't be annoying, re-revert all my changes. Thanks, Firex.

It says there are 300-500 Spartan-IV's, so wouldn't it be 155+ as 145+155=300

The Covenant Super-Destroyer and Battleship are possibly same class. I've been researching this and believe that the illustrator for Halo Wars: Genesis used this line from Halo: First Strike as inspiration: "vessels with five bulbous sections that were nearly two kilometers stem to stem and had a dozen deadly energy projectors." In Genesis, the super-destroyer is depicted as having five bulbous sections and multiple energy projectors. This connection is further reinforced by Halo: Evolutions which came out after both the previously mentioned entries. It states that the vessel has a length of two kilometers and possesses multiple energy projectors. As you can see, the shape, size and armament of this class have all been described in at least two pieces of fiction. Since you are knowledgeable in these regards I hope that you will come to the same conclusion. I've been reading this wiki for years but only started editing it recently. Subsequently, I'm not completely sure if I need administrative permission to merge two articles.

Quick question: is there a way to retrieve past edits? I remember doing a few edits a couple of years ago on Halo (Halo 3's finale level), and it shows up in my username, but when I go to my Contributions, it says I joined the site in 2012 and only counts edits past that.

Oh I should confrim with you that Jake Courages site didnt for a fact mention the Second Battle of New Mombasa. That is from memory. Also I found something you should see that you can use to support you.

More proof of this is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxW-0NpF7zw

That only says greatest battle. Meaning 1 battle. So that should be your undenying proof for you right that the Second Battle of New Mombasa never happen or is mentioned anywhere.

Also I found a interesting image relating to Believe halo.jpg Something about July 23rd 2553 and Victory. I cant find anything more about that image though other than its official.

Well yes I do. ^^ I was thinking of adding it after I finished with the Armor today(for Halo 4 and 5 for The Spartans. And also add in the Elites descriptions.

Unless you want to do it then be my guest ^^ Links below to the thread on Waypoint detailing them. Crimson actually does missions we dont play. So that is the biggest thing I could note from it.

Also I would like to say sorry for the tiny errors I made during adding the Armor info yesterday. That was a lot of work so a few slipped in xD

Thanks for linking me to there. I also note the part about including full dialogues rather than just chopping them in half by character. I'll have to implement that in the process. Faction quote pages sounds like an interesting idea too.

That could work. Speaking of quote pages, I was considering revamping them by having them include a section with quotes about the characters, rather than just those specifically spoken by them. This would include blurbs from character bios and statements made about them by other characters. I think it would be handy to have; there's an abundance of quotes about Halsey, John, etc, and it better suits characters like Linda who don't speak very much by are often described. Do you think it's worth adding?

I have been told that somewhere in Escalation 16 this conversation occurs, that seems a nice fit for the Catherine Halsey page:

Palmer: "You're a traitor and a war criminal. That's all there is to it."
Halsey: "It's awfully convenient for you to think of me that way - isn't it, Palmer? You can't be that naive. You really think I could have pulled off everything I've been accused of without the full support of ONI? Of the entire UNSC? Consider the resources. The budgets. You think those decisions were made unilaterally? Whether it was a signed form or a wink - they approved it all."
Palmer: "This armour - this job - has been soiled because of you!"
Halsey: "Soiled? I'm the only reason that armour even exists! You can't have it both ways, Commander. Unless, of course, you find the perfect scapegoat. Then spend years rewriting history. Which brings us to your master, Osman."
— Halsey retorts Karen Traviss's Sarah Palmer's accusations

Since I got this from a second-party source and don't own the comic, I can't confirm that this is the verbatim wording. You can, and probably know better than I do where all or part of this belongs.

Actually, disregard the majority message. I think I understand what you mean, for the most part. Real-life perspective = human or native names and in-universe = native names. Sorry about that, my carelessness.

Ah. Thanks for the heads-up. Sorry about that. I'm a bit OCD about things like that. Part of having Aspergers Syndrome :P What about articles such as battles, species pages, ranks, weapons etc? Should level transcripts and things like that use the human-given names for the species?

Once again, thanks for that, and sorry if it's annoying some people.

Hello Jugus, how are you doing man?

I have a question to ask you if you don't mind me stopping by to ask?
