Another example I came across is in reference to UNSC weapons and ammo...plenty of references to "modern" counterparts in which they mean our time and not written as though it's the mid 26th century. If a reference was made to something our armies have now, wouldn't it be written as either "ancient" or "centuries old"? Just want to go with the flow here and some of the entries mess me up a little.

Unknown Region
Still getting used to the wiki here, but from what I've read on Halo Wiki guidelines a question emerges: When the text says "a planetary system in an unknown region of space", my question is "unknown" to whom? The fans is the only answer I come up with. Infinity was there a couple of times as was the Covenant, so it's not like it not a known location and star system to the Forerunners, Covenant, and the UNSC, but just to the fans. Not singling this article out, I've seen lots of evidence of this style of writing as I get used to Halopedia. Is this something that should be rewritten to be a little more 'in-universe' as the guidelines suggest?

- You're over thinking it a bit much, jut go with the flow of things and it'll catch on. You are, however, correct when the word "unknown" was used for the fans or readers. I changed it to "unidentified" since it has not been named by official sources. I doubt it will be since Requiem was destroyed, but you never know. -Killjax (talk | contribs)
