Minor/Minor Domo Elite

I'm pretty sure Minors and Major Elites were named Minor Domo and Major Domo, respectively, in the Ghosts of Onyx. I'll go through it again to make sure i'm not just making a stupid error.

Sincerely,
File:UNSCoH Dingo without letters.PNGCaptain Tony^Talk 8/2/2007

Show me an exact page number. Prove it any way you can. I know "Major Domo" was used a few times, but never "Minor Domo." --ED_(talk)^(gaming) 18:22, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

• • Yeah, I could only find Major Domo, sorry for wasting your time with this ED.

Featured Article

Since regular users can't nominate articles for the FA anymore, can I request that Zealot be nominated? Phil.e. ^{[Talk to me]} 19:07, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, let me see about that. --demonspawnED 02:24, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey

Now I know I am quite known for attempting to change article names and merging articles about practically the same weapon, but I think this one stands out in that there seems to be no intelligent opposition.

Could you please change the article "M90 Assault Shotgun" to "M90 Shotgun"? I have google searched everywhere and this is the only reputable site to ever call it that, no book, bungie site, manual, or gameplay has ever described it as an "Assault Shotgun" to my knowledge.

No one has replied in the talk page with opposition, though Spartan 781 tried to delete the discussion tag. I just think that it would be very user friendly and give Halopedia a better reputation if articles like this did not have obviously fannon names.

Of course if you know something I dont I am definitely open to it ^_^ --Justin Time 21:07, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Alrighty. --ED_(talk)^(gaming) 01:43, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Sidebar

It's already crammed as it is (on 1024x768, the search bar doesn't even show up, IIRC), so I'd rather than we keep it as small and concise as possible. Maybeh I'll work on some JS to fix the humongousness of the sidebar, maybeh wif Splarka's help, if possible. --NOTASTAFF GPT_(talk)^(eating) 05:42, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Gah, if you wish. I guess we can't make the text any smaller. My screen's on 1680x1050 resolution, so I miss out on these things...gah...--demonspawnED 05:50, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm working with Splarka on it right now. I'd prefer a mouseover drop-down menu for each section in the sidebar, but he thinks click would be better and easier to do, so we'll try it out for a couple days, see what everyone thinks. --NOTASTAFF GPT_(talk)^(eating) 06:12, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Sir I am reporting from my MIA. I have been to PA and am now back. I like the motto its coolio. anyways sir permission to continue leading 2nd platoon? Spartan-010:Stryker ^{My Comm} _{My Battles} File:Master sergeant.jpg 16:15, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

7th ODST Battalion

Well they are known as Helljumpers, and the unofficial motto of the 105th ODST Division is the "Helljumpers". But that's the only proof I have of them being in the 105th.

Sincerely,
File:UNSCoH Dingo without letters.PNGCaptain Tony^Talk 8/4/2007

105th is the 105th Drop Jet Platoon, not the 105th ODST Division. I had always thought the 105th Drop Jet Platoon was the only ODST group, and that the other 104+ Drop Jet Platoons were not ODSTs but some other kind of Drop... people... maybeh. Meh. --NOTASTAFF GPT_(talk)^(eating) 20:55, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

You know, I remember reading an article from Brandon Rebuga to Eric Nylund on the issue of the UNSC Army. I think it would be a good time for another question. File:UNSCoH Dingo without letters.PNGCaptain Tony^Talk 8/4/2007

His e-mail is on his website if you want to contacy him. Or its in one of the Halopedia Letters. --demonspawnED 20:59, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay, so the Platoon would be in the Battalion, but they WERE "slaughtered" in 2535... but then there could just be more people that joined up again as Helljumpers, but regardless, in none of the books does it ever say "105th ODST Division." Only "105th Drop Jet Platoon" and "the infamous 105th." We need... SOURCAZ!!! --NOTASTAFF GPT_(talk)^(eating) 21:05, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

My point is just that the 105th isn't the 105th ODST Division, and the page should be moved to 105th Drop Jet Platoon. --NOTASTAFF GPT_(talk)^(eating) 21:13, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

RE: Re: Sidebar

Dear ED,

Sir, with all due respect, all of Wikia is migrating to the new PHPBB3 forums. The old DTL forums are going to be erased soon, I think. We only got the new forums upon my request, sir. I'd like to acclimatize the userbase with the new forums so when Wikia definitively sets down its foot, the Halopedians will be ready.

Thank you, sir. Hope to hear from you soon.

Best Regards,

RelentlessRecusant 'o the Halopedia Team ^TALK • _MESSAGE 03:31, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Then we'll have to migrate popular threads like the "Imagine" one over to the other forum. As long as the old forum is still being used as much as it is, it won't make a difference what the sidebar links to. --demonspawnED 04:11, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Sir, I think that it will be difficult to migrate, say, "Imagine!", but sir, all of Wikia is migrating, and soon, I believe it will be compulsory and the DTL forums will be deleted. See you soon! ^^ Cheers, RelentlessRecusant 'o the Halopedia Team ^TALK • _MESSAGE 16:19, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Sir? =] Cheers, RelentlessRecusant 'o the Halopedia Team ^TALK • _MESSAGE 18:24, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

OK, I don't understand why this is not clear to you. We can link only to the new forums AFTER the old ones are gone. Until then, we have two forums. --DEMONSPAWNED 18:18, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Inviting IPs

If I may make a few minor suggestions, you don't have to follow them, but you can. So, when you invite an IP, can you please put: {{subst:IP_invite}} and also sign your name? Thanks for listening, H*bad ^(talk) 04:32, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

I'll add the subst thing to the new page editbar, that works. --DEMONSPAWNED 04:41, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

RE:Letter to Nylund

Don't worry ED, since I brought it up, I should do it. I'd just need his e-mail address, and thats it. Anyways, thank you for bringing this up.

Sincerely,

• • Okay, thanks ED, I owe you one...maybe two perhaps. :)

• • Sure thing, i'm creating the letter as we speak, and asking a few more questions.

Nylund Update

Hey ED,

I just sent the letter to Eric Nylund, asking him five questions, all UNSC related, plus one that wont be answered!

"What is John-117's real last name"

Sincerely,

Heh heh ok, we'll see what he has to say tomorrow, probably. Let me know, I'm freakin' out about it. --DEMONSPAWNED 04:21, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

• • You'll be the first one to know. Do you have an MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger address so you're TRULY the first one to know?

• • Well there's no address on there, but i'll write to you on here instead.

• • I'm telling you, if he even hints at his last name...i'll crap my pants, I am seriously...

• • Another question I asked "What happened to MajGen Nicolas Strauss". Hopefully he'll answer that one.

See what Blemo has to say about it. --DEMONSPAWNED 02:37, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

okay sir. also I like whats been done to B company page. I have one suggestion. the experiment could we post that as well? Spartan-010:Stryker ^{My Comm} _{My Battles} File:Master sergeant.jpg 11:55, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorting the Companies

Now i understand you've sorted the Recruits out into the companies which is my job. Now i understand, upon my last check before going to bed yesterday there was 6 which is unusually high so i admit they had begun to pile up since the last time i sorted the companies which was earlier yesterday morning. Now i thank you for sorting them but it's my job appointed from Ryan and i woulld appreciate it if in the future you would leave it to me to get it done because i did have a count on the numbers for each company but now i gotta recount them. Thanks, --Ajax 013 16:18, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Some of those members have been there for 3 days, they all should have been sorted if you did it yesterday. I put two in A, B, and D companies, since I saw two were put into C company. --DEMONSPAWNED 16:44, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

They have all put their names down since i last put all the people then in recruits into companies and i have been waiting for the recruits to arrive to a nice round number of 8 to put them into their companies however now i have discovered the companies are atchually not all the same numbers so now i will have to sort this out now. --Ajax 013 16:58, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes I noticed that too. A disproportionate number of people have been put into C and D companies, I believe. --DEMONSPAWNED 17:02, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey ED!

Hey ED,

Yeah, it's an original page, I made it myself. ;p

And no problem, I was just trying to get the articles out there and onto the site.

And yeah he did, look under my "My Articles" link, and it should be a fairly recent page.

Policy

I unprotected them per Wikia policy. --NOTASTAFF GPT_(talk)^(eating) 00:05, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Which one exactly? I was always under the impression that Wikia Protection Policy allowed us to protect policies because they aren't part of the wiki. --DEMONSPAWNED 00:12, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

They *are* part of the wiki, 'cause they're... on the wiki.... --NOTASTAFF GPT_(talk)^(eating) 00:24, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Not necessarily. They are one the Halopedia: namespace, not the main space. Just like how userpages are not supposed to be edited by anyone except their user, policy pages have always been protected because they are not supposed to be edited by anyone except admins and wikistaff; they are the rules of the project, not the project itself. It prevented users with personal vendettas from changing the policies. Of course, that idea has been around since before we moved to wikia, which accounts for the difference in opinion, I guess. --DEMONSPAWNED 00:33, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Also, check your email. --NOTASTAFF GPT_(talk)^(eating) 00:26, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

One step ahead of you on that one, man! Check YOUR email! --DEMONSPAWNED 00:33, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

UoH

Blemo isn't in charge of your company anymore, i let CommanderTony and RR deside witch one of them gets Your company and D company and they still haven't made up their minds and barely talked about it so who ever becomes your company's leader ask him about it.--UNSCoH Colonel "Running Riot" Ryan BAM 23:20, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Why did you revert!?

On the page where that guy put The forgotten I don't need compaments, from a backstabbing traitor!!! On halofanon, he recreated General Tater, and put fake comments, involving stuff like the evil O'malley sucks and stuff, the talk page history, proves it, but I knew it was fake before I saw it, he has been banned and his article gone. And he even called me friend on my talk page here. I will revert it, and it will not be changed again. The Evil O'malley 21:43, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

First, what he said on Halofanon is irrelavent here. Halopedia is not Halofanon and we do not operate under the same policies in any way just because we have similar content matter. Second, what he said here was not vandalism, because whether or not you approve of his statements or not is also irrelavent because once again, you do not have the right to censor his statements as a contributor to Halopedia, and so long as his edit was not blatant vandalism it cannot be removed. Third, removing another person's comments from any page is vandalism by itself, and if you want me to call you on it, I will. It will be reverted. --DEMONSPAWNED 00:59, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

User dispute?

I don't see that as a user dispute. He disagreed with the way I block people, and he called me a wicked conspirator, which seems to me to be a personal attack. What specifically were your reasons for making it into a cooldown block? Also, I prefer day-long cooldowns, just because two hours doesn't really do very much. Two hours just isn't a long time, especially this late at night. --NOTASTAFF GPT_(talk)^(eating) 04:21, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

It really does look like a user dispute to me. From his userpage, he really does not appear to dislike you at all (in fact he seems to admire you) and, as 2401PT is a veteran user with high standing in the minds of many, he is not the type to make personal attacks, and as he has been part of Halopedia for several months with no block, he deserves a warning to let him think about what he has said. And so, as a veteran user, he also should understand our policies. If he returns and insults you again, his block may increase substantially. But in my time as an admin, no vet user has ever come back from a cooldown ban and kept on harassing. At this time of night, its just as likely he will go to bed and cool down.

The difference between harassment and personal attacks is that harassment is made at the spur of the moment in response to something that makes a user mad. Personal attacks are more premeditated and more personal. Of course, I'd suggest mediating those too, the block has always been my absolute last resort! --DEMONSPAWNED 04:30, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Sirs, with all due respect, my evaluation of the comment is that it was flamboyant, as a display of exceptional linguistic prowess, and insouciant, and I advised GPT that it was a regular joke...like I'm the COOOKIE MASTAH and cabal commander. ^^ Cheers, RelentlessRecusant 'o the Halopedia Team ^TALK • _MESSAGE 04:32, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

FYI, my block was before I was advised aboot that... and I'm just much moar strict--if someone breaks the rules, regardless of whether it was premeditated or not, /me reaches for block. --NOTASTAFF GPT_(talk)^(eating) 04:36, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

You may find that blocking quickly and strictly harms your own standing, as well as Halopedia overall. Have paitence, my friend! --DEMONSPAWNED 04:38, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Fully concur, Commanders. While it may not be my place to suggest as such, I feel similarly to ED. Perhaps we should take this aside privately? The cabal communications method (not the one sending IBCMs with "Hi!" written on them) comes to mind. ;-) Cheers, RelentlessRecusant 'o the Halopedia Team ^TALK • _MESSAGE 04:40, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Mission to Eridanus Secundus

Why was this page deleted and made a redirect? You don't seem to have typed a reason for the edit anywhere. I created the page because as far as I could tell, there wasn't any other way to look up which Spartans were involved in the mission. --68.44.13.236 05:26, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
