| Halsey's journal clarifies that the material is called "polymerised lithium niobocene," and that it was developed to discharge static buildup after slipspace jumps.

| Technically, it's correct. Although changing the name would require us to reformat the article, since the current version describes the layer itself, as a component of MJOLNIR armor, while polymerised lithium niobocene is the material the said layer is made of. Would it be unnecessary redundancy to keep this one as it is and make another article to describe the material? I think not, considering how the MJOLNIR layer isn't its only application. --[[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> 07:24, 12 November 2010 (EST)

| : I agree with Subtank, while the vast majority of the article describes its use in MJOLNIR there is no reason to make a separate article for it's intended use and manufacture. There really isn't enough detail to warrant a whole page for four sentances. At least, that's my opinion.--[[User talk:Bruce2401|Bruce2401]] 22:27, 13 March 2011 (EDT)

| The article says "yet fractionally scales and amplifies force," but my copy of Fall of Reach clearly says "fractally scales". Certainly could just be a typo on Nylund's part -- especially since my copy of the book is one of the original run -- but I was just wondering if this was cleared up somewhere, or if we're only assuming it was meant to be "fractionally". If it's the latter, then -- even though "fractally" isn't a real word -- I do want to point out that "fractionally" doesn't really make sense, since the armor was stated to approximately double power output in the very next sentence of the book (page 115 on my pocket/mass paperback, for reference). Anyway, thanks for listening. [[User:Swordser|Swordser]] ([[User talk:Swordser|talk]]) 03:01, 31 August 2014 (EDT)

| :You're right. "Fractionally" doesn't make sense at all unless we're talking x number of y-th fractions, where x>y. But then that is a very odd way of saying multiply. "Fractally" somewhat makes sense on a geometric level, if we're talking about how it provides structure when electrical charge is applied.--[[User:Ender the Xenocide|<font color="Green">Ender the Xenocide]]</font> 03:16, 31 August 2014 (EDT)

| ::I noticed the source for that sentence referenced the Halo: CE Strategies and Secrets book, and wondered if that said "fractionally." Luckily, the link provided includes a short preview of the book, which does encompass the Halo Bible entry on page 5 that the phrase is taken from. There, it uses the same phrasing as in my copy of Fall, saying "fractally." So feel free to change it back, of course, but I'm going to go ahead and change the phrasing to match these two sources. I'm also going to do so on related pages, if I find the phrasing; I'll note the pages edited here, in case it needs to be changed back later.
