New Picture

I added a size comparison and a gallery to put it in. I hope this is within Halopedia's standards...? Novateamone 19:02, 22 April 2012 (EDT)

Since there are no official images of a Greater Ark, to my knowledge, I would deduce that this is a fan-created comparison. More likely than not, we can't use it because it uses unverified information, and may be misleading - where does anything say a Greater Ark have only six arms, for example? Or is that big? -- Specops306 Autocrat Qur'a 'Morhek 23:56, 20 April 2012 (EDT)

Despite the factual basis, I'd still argue the image is too speculative. The caption acknowledges it's "estimated", yes, but how much do we really know about the greater Ark? It's not exactly described in detail, so the proportions might be entirely different than those of Installation 00. Everything that matters is already described in the article and people should be able to make their own conclusions based on that alone. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 12:33, 22 April 2012 (EDT)

If you like, I could pull it back down, or improve the caption...? Novateamone 19:02, 22 April 2012 (EDT)

Yes, I DID create this image, so it is fan-made. However, I took great care in creating and editing this new comparison. The old one was a place holder, and I have done everything I can to make sure it is as accurate as I can make it. I figured that since the Greater Ark made Halos with thirty thousand kilometer diameters, all that would really need to be done is simply multiply the dimensions of the Lesser Ark by three, and edit it so that it has six arms instead of eight. I urge you to allow this photo to stay on the page; however, if you really insist, I will take it down... Novateamone 19:02, 22 April 2012 (EDT)
