This page documents errors, inconsistencies, and mistakes in the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]''. Given the sheer size and scope of such a book, the majority of these issues are rather minor, especially when compared to the volume of issues present in the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''. Regardless, this page is here to serve as a public resource for fans and writers. Some of these are nitpicks, particularly in the typos and grammar section. | |||

| Inconsistency || 252 || [[Nizat 'Kvarosee]]'s birthdate is given as August 23, 2470. In chapter 5 of ''[[Halo: Oblivion]]'' (set in [[2526]]), Nizat is noted to have had ''a hundred years'' of service in the Covenant navy. || | | Inconsistency || 252 || [[Nizat 'Kvarosee]]'s birthdate is given as August 23, 2470.

The Encyclopedia provides their heights as 5'3 and 5'10, respectively. Assuming this is Lucy's height out-of-armour, this may simply be dismissed as intending ''Last Light''{{'}}s statement to refer to Lucy in-armour. However, a 7 inch difference does seem rather large for [[Semi-Powered Infiltration armor|SPI armour]] to make to one's height. || | ||

| Inconsistency || 110-111 || [[Olivia-G291]] is noted to be a [[Lieutenant, Junior Grade]] and Veta is noted to be a [[Petty Officer, Second Class]]. In ''[[Halo: Divine Wind]]''{{'}}s epilogue, Veta is noted to be a Lieutenant, Junior Grade. Presumably, these two were swapped around, as it would make little sense for Veta to command the [[Ferret]]s while being outranked by several of its members. || | | Inconsistency || 110-111 || [[Olivia-G291]] is noted to be a [[Lieutenant, Junior Grade]] and Veta is noted to be a [[Petty Officer, Second Class]].

This section is inherently rather nitpicky. None of the issues presented here are so glaring as to reduce the legibility of the text or the quality of the book overall, but are presented anyway. | |||
