:Actually super duper thank you, since I still haven't gotten around to beating the last set of missions I never thought we'd get these articles done.[[User:Sith Venator|<span style="color:green">Sith Venator</span>]] [[File:Mega Blastoise.gif|20px]] ([[User talk:Sith Venator|<span style="color:blue">Dank Memes</span>]]) 05:40, 10 October 2015 (EDT)

== Important - Error, transcripts and images ==
While adding text to the "Objective(s)" section at the top right box, I noticed the part with the scores reads "Spartan Assault scores". This is due to the fact that I took as template the page for Assault on CF-32 and the script creates that text automaticaly, so I don't see how to change it.
Also, since this game features dialogue and instructions by Kwon, I'm considering a "Transcript" section for every page. This howerver would delay the overall creation of the other 29 mission pages if I do it all. I can make a full transcript of Kwon's dialogue, but I'd appreciate if somebody could compliment these transcripts by adding the events that happen throughout the missions to them, just like mission pages for major games have that. If not, then transcripts will have to wait until I finish every page.
Lastly, I updated the thumbnail image. The first one had a greenish outline for being a menu screenshot and was very small. However I took a screenshot during gameplay that came out nearly identical to the in-game thumbnail. This one doesn't have any green outlines and has a much better quality. I verified every mission, and their thumbnails can be recreated during gameplay. I believe this will benefit these pages, but if the original thumbnails are requiered anyway, please let me know.

:Fixed the infobox. Sadly, I can't help with the transcript however, as I don't have the game. -- [[User:Topal the Pilot|'''Topal the Pilot''']] [[File:Blueteam.png|20px]] <small>([[User talk:Topal the Pilot|<span style="color:green">'''Talk'''</span>]]|[[Special:Contributions/Topal the Pilot|<span style="color:green">'''Contribs'''</span>]])</small> 00:53, 11 October 2015 (EDT)
== Regarding transcripts and possible redundancy with "Objectives" section ==
I decided to get the transcripts ready for the two mission pages I have created before I move on to the others. Note that in the Objectives section a lot of the events happening around and outside the playable area are described. I did this because that's kind of how it was done on [[Mission 1: Assault on CF-32|Assault on CF-32]] (only a little more extended), altough I now think this should be corrected.
For now, I will write the transcripts, which will include all dialogue, and I will relocate event descriptions from the Objectives section into the Transcript, as it should be.
My proposition is to merge the Objectives section with the Transcript if possible, please take a look at an excerpt of how I would like this to be:
''Two [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornets]] fly above a plaza where a large battle between [[UNSC]] and [[Covenant]] forces takes place. [[M808 Scorpion|Scorpion]] tanks exchange fire with Wraiths while groups of [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] attempt to hold out large numbers of [[Sangheili]] and [[Unggoy]]. Several [[AV-22 Sparrowhawk|Sparrowhawks]], Hornets and [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]] battle overhead.''
*'''[[Kwon|Lieutenant Kwon]] (COM)''': "Spartan. I'm Lieutenant Kwon. I'll be on comms to assist you throughout all your missions."
''As the two Hornets approach the a park, several [[SOEIV]] pods land in the vicinity. The view focuses on a single pod that landed inside the park's boundaries''
*'''Lieutenant Kwon (COM)''': "That was a bone rattler! The original landing zone got too hot, so we dropped you here instead."
''The SOEIV pod opens and a Spartan-IV clad in orange [[War Master]] armor jumps out''
*'''Lieutenant Kwon (COM)''': "Looks like the impact busted your weapons. We'll need to replace 'em. Sending you a waypoint."
''⚠ Head into the park''
Pay attention to the last line I wrote. During gameplay, new objectives are highlighted with a warning sign. This is basicaly my idea on how Transcript and Objectives sections could be merged.
Obviously i'm only adding the basic transcript and nothing else until I hear what others think about this idea, so please vote to support or to reject this.

:Your format looks fine as far as I'm concerned. I think the ''Spartan Assault'' pages only do the "Objectives" sections because they have no transcripts, but if you're willing to write those for ''Spartan Strike'', there really isn't a need to keep the sections separate. --[[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> 00:49, 14 October 2015 (EDT)
