This article is too over-flowery. I think we should just stick to the parts which are relevant to Halo. --[[User:UNSC_Trooper|UNSC Trooper]] 11:52, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
"The United States and the Soviet Union become military superpowers, being the least damaged infrastructurally"
 
is that a joke?
 
The soviet union was HORRIBLY Damaged, many cities and villages on the eastern side were nearly obliterated by germanys superior aircraft and tactics. I would say that that soviet union was the worst allied nation damaged.
 


It is also poorly written and largely irrelevant. Why not just include the section concerning the formation of the UN and remove the rest, as it has little to do with Halo? 23:47, 1 August 2009 (UTC))

Hey, CT just asking what has it got to do with Halo!

This is ''pointless''... It is hardly relevant to halo...--[[User talk:2K Dragon|2K Dragon]] 13:49, November 13, 2009 (UTC)
Read the references and you'll get it, it's obvious. --[[User:81.196.200.9|81.196.200.9]] 13:53, 27 March 2008 (UTC)


I agree with 2k Dragon I mean, yes its informative but at the end of the day Halopedia ISNT a history book I think it should be removed. Who's neutral, who supports it and who opposes it is what I ask? --[[User talk:CookieMonstersayshello|CookieMonstersayshello]] 04:09, 27 July 2011 (EDT)
As long as this article isn't deleted ''yet again''. It really is Halo related, as a primary reason why the UN and, in turn, the UNSC, were formed. The fact that at least one ILoveBees character was a WWII historian is also important. --'''[[UserWiki:Specops306|<font color=purple>Specops306]]</font>''', '''''[[User:Specops306|<font color=blue>Kora]]</font> [[Special:Editcount/Specops306|<font color=purple>'Morhek</font>]]''''' 08:52, 28 April 2008 (UTC)


:It shouldn't necessarily be removed, but it should be rewritten without all the superfluous detail. --[[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> 04:23, 27 July 2011 (EDT)
== sweden ==
sweden is not an axis contry.


I personally think it should necessarily be removed, as it has very little relevance to the Halo universe having said that WW2 is the time when the UN was created (and the "Space Command" is part of the UN). So yeah, its a tough one. --[[User talk:CookieMonstersayshello|CookieMonstersayshello]] 05:16, 27 July 2011 (EDT)

You ARE kidding right? The base is in Kenya.

The base's technology looks very much like that of the Cold War. Technically, that was a '20th Century war'. Also, there are nuclear blast doors, which I would assume suggest that the base had been constructed post-1945. [[Special:Contributions/86.132.17.222|86.132.17.222]] 01:10, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
== UNSC ==
And in fact, in the Crow's Nest entry it mentions the appearance of NATO stars (I haven't seen them myself, but then I wasn't really looking). [[Special:Contributions/86.132.17.222|86.132.17.222]] 01:25, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 
 
==Ammunition==
.30 calibre can mean a lot of different ammunition types including 7.62x51mm which is a post-war cartridge. Is there any indication that .30-06 (7.62x63mm) is in the regular UNSC inventory?
 
Also the same should be noted with 90mm ammunition, as it is probably nothing like artillery shells used by anti-air and anti-tank weapons during the Second World War. Actually more so in this case than anti-personnel ammunition, as the munition would have been woefully outdated by the 26th century for anti-armour capability.[[User talk:TikkaT3Fanatic|TikkaT3Fanatic]] 20:47, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
 
== Notability ==
 
Does this article still meet Halopedia's notability requirements? -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 17:20, 8 February 2014 (EST)
 
:Don't think so. The current information in the article are simply references to WWII. WWII, as a subject, has never been specifically referred to extensively by characters or any other content. In most if not all cases, they are just simple references. — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span>  20:00, 8 February 2014 (EST)
 
Agreed. I think this is the first time I've even seen this article linked in three years. Hardly relevant. [[User:Tuckerscreator|<span style="color:#6600cc;">'''''Tuckerscreator'''''</span>]]<sup>([[User talk:Tuckerscreator|<font color="#008000">stalk</font>]])</sup> 23:50, 8 February 2014 (EST)
 
:I would be in favour or trimming down the article, put not deleting it all together. The history section of the article is unnecessarily detailed. The "Legacy" section is much more relevant, particularly the part about the war resulting in the creation of the United Nations, without which there would be no UEG or UNSC. The end of the war and creation of the United Nations was considered important enough to warrant an entry for 1945 in the Halo Encyclopedia timeline page.--[[File:Emblem 1.jpg|20px|bottom]][[User:Rusty-112|<span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13pt;color:blue;">''' Rusty'''</span><span style="font-size:13pt;color:red;">'''-'''</span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13pt;color:blue;">'''112'''</span>]] [[Halopedia:Administrators|<span style="color:red; font-family:Arial">'''''Admin'''''</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Rusty-112|<font color="blue">'''comm'''</font>]]</sup> 13:40, 9 February 2014 (EST)


Or we could just move that part to the page of the United Nations. [[User:Tuckerscreator|<span style="color:#6600cc;">'''''Tuckerscreator'''''</span>]]<sup>([[User talk:Tuckerscreator|<font color="#008000">stalk</font>]])</sup> 17:27, 9 February 2014 (EST)
it's says there where holo's of WWII in the Getysburg,where was that found at? [[User:Voy101|Voy101]]
:I agree with Tucker. This would be more relevant on the United Nations page than as it's own article.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 14:09, 13 February 2014 (EST)
