Talk:Post-Covenant War conflicts: Difference between revisions

I got fed up with this title long ago but the problem always was the lack of a better alternative. I've entertained the idea of using the name '''"Reclamation conflict"''' for a while but it always felt like it was teetering dangerously close to fanon. But I realized that might not be entirely true, or at least that it's hardly any more offending than what we currently have. My reasons:

It's also very succinct, and it's easy on the eyes while being strictly descriptive. And if I had to choose whether the average fan on the Waypoint forums calls it the "Reclamation Conflict" (because the capital letters are bound to happen anyways) or the "Second Human-Covenant War" (by extension calling the original war the "First Human-Covenant War") I definitely choose the former. As long as we use the article title caveat and perhaps a note, it should be fine. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 00:55, 8 November 2013 (EST)

::Fair enough. I was just scratching my head why it went so far that even the attack on the infinity from 2553 was also included in as well. I'll begin changing some stuff.[[User:Lord Susto|<span style="color:red">Lord Susto</span>]] 00:57, 22 June 2014 (EDT)

::I think this page is definitely lacking a concrete identity as far as its content is concerned — I've been imagining it as shorthand for "whatever conflict goes on in the Reclaimer Saga era", which may or may not involve the Forerunner/Reclaimer stuff. This is also why it was originally renamed to the current title from the more limiting "second human-Covenant war". Given the prominence of the NCA in major events I would likewise not remove them from this page altogether (actions involving them might end up being key to understanding other, Forerunner-related events in the future), though having them here does create an awkward overlap of the contents of this article and the Insurrection page.  --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 03:28, 22 June 2014 (EDT)

Isn't it a little strange to add every ship captain that had partaken in fighting to the commanders section of the info box. For the non-Covenant faction it could surely it can be boiled down to: [[Terrence Hood|Lord Terrence Hood]], [[Margaret Parangosky|Admiral Margaret Parangosky]] ,[[Serin Osman|Admiral Serin Osman]], [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter Thel 'Vadam]], [[Lydus|Chieftain Lydus]]. Also do Kilo-five/Osman really need to be included in the Covenant remnant side? silently arming a faction for a few months before all out war isn't exactly apart of their side.

::Perhaps ONI should be included on both sides? I haven't read the third Kilo-5 book but I figured with a genocidal mad man like Jul being the established opposition to Thel and the Forerunners siding with them there is far less emphasis on their project of instability.

::::::: It doesn't matter if the fight ever ended. What matters is that the reasons for and magnitude of the fight altered at a fundamental level. Thanks, --[[User:Weeping Angel|Weeping Angel]] ([[User talk:Weeping Angel|talk]]) 14:55, 8 October 2015 (EDT)

::::::::It does matter if they stopped fighting. I think I am done here, if anyone tries to put this back up on the article I am removing it because it does not belong here. p.s. look at the name of the article in case you have not noticed.
