Well, it looks like that info was removed, so no need for this anymore.

Human Banshee? I don't see much banshee in it at all, just a very small amount from the front.[[User talk:Laghing rabt|Laghing rabt]] 04:06, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

::I'd say it most definitely is a Shortsword bomber. The contours and shape of the ship looks exactly like it does in the [http://www.halopedian.com/File:HW_1920x1200_6.jpg wallpaper] of the Shortsword, as well as in the game itself, and in the ''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''. Of course, by now you must have already noticed. Besides, what else could it be? [[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 12:57, 3 October 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330

== Rename B-65 Suborbital Long-Range Bomber ==
Like the Longsword, the Shortsword receives an official designation that doesn't include its more common name. So I didn't want to rename it without community input.--[[User talk:Darth Oblivion|Darth Oblivion]] 16:34, 6 July 2011 (EDT)
:Agreed. [[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 15:35, 11 September 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330
==Missing Vehicle Data==
Okay, I noticed that this article appears to be incomplete. The Armaments/Weapons section is lacking some critical information from ''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide'', like its primary and secondary armaments. The Shortsword is equipped with [[Machine-linked autocannon|M955 ASW/AC 30mm MLA]] machine guns as its primary weapon for I'm guessing dogfights, and also the [[Maastricht/Raleigh Ordnance Delivery-Application System|M/RODAS Delivery System]] (Maastricht/Raleigh Ordnance Delivery-Application System), for the obvious use of dropping explosive bombs and the like. Not to mention there is a great deal of other critical information that must be included. I would do it myself, except I'm not sure I could do it right, which means someone is going to have to help out here. Have I missed anything else? Does anyone else agree that new information must be added? [[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 15:35, 11 September 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330
:Agreed, I noticed that too. <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:Verdana;">[[User:BushWookieCamper|<span style="color:#536872;">Bush</span><span style="color:#5F9EA0;">Wookie</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:BushWookieCamper|<span style="color:#91A3B0;">Camper</span>]]</sup></span>
::Thanks. Hopefully someone like an admin can help out, or something. This needs to be corrected. And I'm not sure how I'm to do it, especially with time running out for me. [[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 16:00, 11 September 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330
:::[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Be bold|Be Bold]]. If you have problems with formatting, someone will correct or help you, possibly unasked for. But really, if its just short and specific details like that, I doubt you'll have to many problems. Have some confidence! ;D -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font></i></u>]] 07:22, 12 September 2011 (EDT)
::::Thanks. I am aware of this fact, that someone will probably fix any mistakes I made, especially with the very first [[Unidentified UNSC scanning device|article]] I have created from ''Halo Legends: The Package''. And I don't think I have too much problems with formatting, only problems with writing articles with every single bit of data and/or other info in a comprehensive manner, or something like that. You understand what I'm getting at, right? [[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 12:51, 3 October 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330
== Essential Visual Guide ==
I don't have it but I heard from someone on Waypoint that there's a lot of information about the Shortsword that isn't mentioned in the article. If that's the case, could someone who has the Visual Guide add the missing info--[[User talk:Soul reaper|Soul reaper]] 10:46, 3 October 2011 (EDT)
:[http://www.halopedian.com/index.php?title=B-65_Shortsword&curid=6703&diff=948397&oldid=947363 Did my best.] The main information on the page is just about the [[Maastricht/Raleigh Ordnance Delivery-Application System|M/RODAS]] system, which I made a page for just now. —[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:silver;">S331</span>]] [[File:Bubbleshieldhud.svg|14px]]<sub>([[User talk:Spartan331|Tank beats]] [[Special:Contributions/Spartan331|Everything!]])</sub> 11:49, 3 October 2011 (EDT)
::Someone might want to start working on that M955 ASW/AC 30mm MLA article, that way everything is just about complete. I would do it myself, except I have never played ''Halo Wars'' at all, so I wouldn't know how to begin. [[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 12:47, 3 October 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330
:::Might we assume that the Mark 208 gravity bomb mentioned on the [[Maastricht/Raleigh Ordnance Delivery-Application System|M/RODAS]] page is the type of bomb used in ''Halo Wars'' [[carpet bombing]]?--[[User talk:The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari|The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari]] 13:27, 4 October 2011 (EDT)
== Space Fighter? ==
Is the Shortsword considered a fighter? If so, it should be added here --> http://www.halopedia.org/Space_fighter

:"Suborbital" implies atmospheric use rather than space fighting. A bomber also tends to be a pretty poor dogfighter.--[[User:The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari|The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari]] ([[User talk:The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari|talk]]) 12:12, 16 February 2013 (EST)
Yeah but its quite maneueverable and has a 30mm gun. As proven in the first mission of halo wars. [[User:LigerBans|LigerBans]] ([[User talk:LigerBans|talk]]) 23:04, 13 November 2015 (EST)
==Operational History?==
Shouldn't there be an Operational History section in the article? I mean, there are a lot of things that should be noted. Like what time it was fielded and when, and if it was still in operation a few decades later. Like I read in a chapter of the Kilo-Five Trilogy (I think it might have been ''Halo: The Thursday War'') that Shortswords were still readily available to purchase on the black market. I don't remember the page number, nor can I look it up, as most of my novels are packed up in boxes and put into storage. I can easily add the section, but wouldn't be able to put in the necessary references when I don't have them. If someone who does have access please look it up, add the section and the info, then that would make things a little easier. --'''''[[User:Xamikaze330|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Halo;">Xamikaze330</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Xamikaze330|<font color="Blue">Transmission</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|<font color="Green">Commencing</font>]]''''']</small> 17:25, 10 June 2014 (EDT)Xamikaze330
:I cannot create the section at the moment, but the black market reference is "''Halo: Mortal Dictata'', page 103". - [[User:NightHammer|NightHammer]] ([[User talk:NightHammer|talk]]) 17:27, 10 June 2014 (EDT)
::Okay, great, thanks! Wasn't sure it was HTW or Mortal Dictata. But can't create the section yet either. Have some things to do for the family. --'''''[[User:Xamikaze330|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Halo;">Xamikaze330</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Xamikaze330|<font color="Blue">Transmission</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|<font color="Green">Commencing</font>]]''''']</small> 17:36, 10 June 2014 (EDT)Xamikaze330
