== Question ==

Where did you get the picture of the Halo script?  Also, is there anywhere where I can find an unabridged copy of the script?--[[User:71.124.160.249|71.124.160.249]] 18:31, 13 Dec 2005 (EST)

:I got the image from [http://rampancy.net Rampancy.net], who says they have the script [http://rampancy.net/blog/narcogen/01122005/halo_film_script_a_convincing_adaptation]. I can't help you with the other question. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 00:05, 14 Dec 2005 (EST)

==My Entries==

It's me, Spartan99. Did you delete my entries on the Ferret, Angry Pelican and Barracuda? If you did, why? If you didn't, can you help me find out who did? It's not on My Contributions anymore.

:As I posted on your talk page, I found evidence the vehicles were fan-created and non-canon. After some looking for mention of the vehicles in the books, I decided to go ahead and delete them. If you can offer any Bungie source, I'll consider undeleting them. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 02:20, 28 Dec 2005 (EST)

==The [[Albatross]]==
How do we know that the [[Albatross]] isn't really a crashed [[Forerunner]] dropship? Just wondering --SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 17:52, 18 Mar 2006 (EST)

P.S. Im Mr.Green

:Having a Warthog in it suggests it was used by humans. Have any humans besides the Spartans been able to use Forerunner tech? Also I assume Bungie named it Albatross in an article due to the logo on the image. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 20:15, 18 Mar 2006 (EST)

Ah, okay I was just wondering see im too poor to afford Xbox Live and they kinda don't sell the map packs at Wal-mart --[[User:Mr.Green|SPARTAN-897 "Richard"]] 20:19, 18 Mar 2006 (EST)

yes they do (MicahPhaorh)

== Page for removal ==

Hi. There's a page which should be removed completely with its Talk page - <u><font color=#CC2200>Camping (computer gaming)</font></u>. The only leftover is the Talk page with redirect, which leads nowehere (another empty Talk page.) TIA [[User:Ryan|Ryan]] 10:42, 19 Mar 2006 (EST)
:...and a page to add. There is a [[Halo Graphic Novel]] page, which should be added to the main page novel list (it's locked for obvious reason so I was unable to add it). [[User:Ryan|Ryan]] 16:17, 19 Mar 2006 (EST)

::Right. It's been done. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 17:30, 19 Mar 2006 (EST)

== The Halo Speculator ==
He is my brother (*shivers*) and it looks like he spammed across the board too I do that but only in the Sandbox --[[User:Mr.Green|SPARTAN-897 "Richard"]] 21:40, 19 Mar 2006 (EST)

== Halo 3 ==

There is a minor typo in [[Halo 3]] topic. Correct name is "Xbox 360" and never "XBOX 360" (second sentence). TIA for correction. :) [[User:Ryan|Ryan]] 20:07, 21 Mar 2006 (EST)

== 65.2.180.162 ==

65.2.180.162 the guy who went around changing everything about the battles, he typed like a bot. I don't like it. I might have a proposal about these non-registered people and their changes. We don't know whose a bot or not.--[[User:Mr.Green|SPARTAN-897 "Richard"]] 19:52, 22 Mar 2006 (EST)

:I think he may have been trying to use some code that the wiki doesn't support. He used terms like "Covenant Empire" so he does know something about Halo. In the past, bots have only posted ads and links to porn. I think AgentSeethroo is working on making one of those security graphics with letters and numbers only humans can recognize, for anonymous edits. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 21:50, 22 Mar 2006 (EST)

Hmm..I didn't see that. Any idea on how one of those security things work? I mean, like how it is aquired. --[[User:Mr.Green|SPARTAN-897 "Richard"]] 17:46, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)

:I don't know, he just said he'd look into applying it to the wiki. This is what I was talking about BTW, [[wikipedia:CAPTCHA|CAPTCHA]]. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 18:56, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)

Those things are fairly new then...besides the primitive types. I looked into one of the sites that they had. Man, thats some complicated stuff.--[[User:Mr.Green|SPARTAN-897 "Richard"]] 22:19, 24 Mar 2006 (EST)

== Bad link to the Users Prefence Help page. ==

Its a bad link if you go to your prefernces you'll see a red link. Is there anythin we can do about this or is it the template? --[[User:Mr.Green|SPARTAN-897 "Richard"]] 17:58, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)

:Yeah, that guide just never got made. It's pretty straight forward, though. I don't know what problems people would have with the options. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 18:40, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)

I know, some of it you just don't wanna screw around with casue it could mess you up alot. Like the integer thing. I tend not to screw around with code that much.--[[User:Mr.Green|SPARTAN-897 "Richard"]] 22:20, 24 Mar 2006 (EST)

:Well, I'm afraid I don't know anything about it myself. You could try talking to [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]]. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 23:31, 24 Mar 2006 (EST)

==Plasma Canon/Plasma canon==

There are two pages with different information on about the plasma canon, one with a capital 'c' and one without. I'm not sure how to join them together (I'm New) so I thought I'd tell you as you seem to have ben here forever.--[[User:4runner|4runner]] 15:00, 30 Mar 2006 (EST)

:Yeah, thanks. I totally missed that. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 16:47, 30 Mar 2006 (EST)

==List of vandalizers==

You probably have seen, but there has been a streak of vandalism lately and these are the ones I noticed (And fixed):

*81.203.100.127
*67.189.171.46
*24.62.159.9

It may or may not help but I thought you should know.--[[User:4runner|4runner]] 15:08, 3 Apr 2006 (EDT)

:Yeah, thanks. I've banned them. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 15:25, 3 Apr 2006 (EDT)

:Revert the recent edits to the arbiter page and block the ip who edited it last

::I think I got 'em all. Man, people can be rude. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 16:36, 3 May 2006 (EDT)

:::Thx, it took me forever to copy and paste everything back into the articles. you're lucky, all you have to do is press the revert button

::::You can go into the history and click on a listed time to enter a version of what the page looked like at that edit. If you click edit, you'll see a warning about editing an old version. If you click save, the page will be reverted to that version. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 16:59, 3 May 2006 (EDT)

== Oops... ==

Didn't know that Sophia Bossedon page was legit. Sorry. I haven't browsed ilovebees.com all that much, didn't know she was a character.

*EDIT* Now I realize that the reason I said that was the vandal... if he had said who the character was to begin with... --[[User:Energy sword|Energy sword]] 19:45, 6 Apr 2006 (EDT)

:What happened was: when I deleted the vandalized page, your comment stayed on the talk page. Then I later created a real article, but the comment was still there. As it didn't apply anymore, I deleted the talk page to avoid confusion. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 20:45, 6 Apr 2006 (EDT)

Ahh... ok. :)--[[User:Energy sword|Energy sword]] 10:53, 7 Apr 2006 (EDT)

==Suggestion Box==
You seem to be the only Admin who frequents this page, and so you don't always see the suggestions made by myself and others. Maybe there should be a page devoted to "suggestions" for the wiki -[[User:Ed|Ed]] 15:25, 21 April 2006 (EDT)
:Well, there is a [http://forum.gamerfocus.com/viewforum.php?f=25 section] in the forums, as well as [[Halopedia:Projects]]. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 16:33, 21 April 2006 (EDT)

All right. Those work. -[[User:Ed|Ed]] 17:47, 21 April 2006 (EDT)

Would it be possible to make it so that users can only edit their own userpage?

:I could lock your page from unregistered users, but I can't limit it that directly. Although, any registered vandal could be banned easily. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 12:55, 4 May 2006 (EDT)

Thx :[[User:Haloman333|Haloman333]] 16:34, 4 May 2006 (EDT)

==Halo 3!!!!!==

Always working you are. You made 3 pics on the Halo 3 page in the last hour! I gotta make new pics of MC!--[[User:Jonners|Jonners]] 15:17, 10 May 2006 (EDT)

Please let me be a sysops so I can lock my user page. it got vandalised.--[[User:Jonners|Jonners]] 16:03, 11 May 2006 (EDT)

:You don't need to be a sysop, I can just lock it from unregistered users. If someone registered vandalizes your page, I'll confront them about it. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 16:52, 11 May 2006 (EDT)

==Battle for Zanzibar==

That wasn't advertising. I put that because lots of people know about that video on that site, and I thought it would be worth while to mention that so people can also get an idea of the map's popularity. Please don't tell me that was another big error cause i really don't want to get blocked from this site.--[[User:Jonners|Jonners]] 15:08, 9 May 2006 (EDT)

:Yeah, I suppose it would be alright to put it back. It just looked like a clever plug to me. We do get those from time to time. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 15:20, 9 May 2006 (EDT)

Thx.

==Art for Dragonclaws==

Heh Dragonclaws!

I drew this myself and wondered if it could go on the Linda page. I know it's unofficial but I don't mind if you don't want it on the site.--[[User:Jonners|Jonners]] 13:15, 3 May 2006 (EDT)

:I'm thinking it wouldn't be appropriate for Halopedia. I do think it's cool, though. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 16:33, 3 May 2006 (EDT)

I don't mind. I can tell my halo-loving friends that the administrator liked it though! --[[User:Jonners|Jonners]] 15:27, 4 May 2006 (EDT)

==Wow, an administrator!==

So you do host this site, kind of. How do you became an administrator?

:AgentSeethroo needed help, so he asked me if I wanted the job. It's not something you can achieve, except perhaps by being loyal and being there when the current sysops can't handle it alone. In any case, it's always going to be AgentSeethroo's descision. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 16:35, 1 May 2006 (EDT)

Oh, and thanks for helping with the honor guard and prophet pics.--[[User:Jonners|Jonners]] 14:17, 2 May 2006 (EDT)

Makes sense since you are the foremost contributor to this site Dragonclaws :[[User:Haloman333|Haloman333]] 11:20, 3 May 2006 (EDT)

==Maw difficulties==

Soz about the whole Library thing. I uploaded some good walkthrough pics about the Maw from the Bungie website Evil Otto walkthrough. I was wondering if that would be Ok, although many pictures on this site are from other websites.

--[[User:Jonners|Jonners]] 15:23, 30 April 2006 (EDT)

:Yeah, the screenshots themselves are okay. The banner is a logo of [http://library.psyjnir.net/ The Library], and if we had an article about that site it would make sense to have the logo, however, it is totally inappropriate on [[Library]] and futhermore, it is rude and tacky. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 15:32, 30 April 2006 (EDT)

Also, could you leave the image of regret I made on 300px? You don't have to but due to the size of the image You can't see it very clearly or barely make out the face on the resize.

:I believe I've fixed the problem. The image had too much white background. I deleted it and uploaded a cut-down version. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 16:28, 1 May 2006 (EDT)


==you Make Videos?==

I've made about 3 halo music videos. there kk. I can't believe I found sum1 else on this website who makes em. O ye, n my frend likes Queen. Nice 1!!!!!
Any1 else here make videos of any kind?
[[user:jonners]]

:I've made two others, but I haven't posted them because I'm trying to figure out how to compress them effectively. I would suggest posting general polls in the forums, as I don't think everyone reads my talk page. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 16:33, 25 April 2006 (EDT)

:Or were you asking me if I knew of others? I don't think so. [[User:Sanfran216|This guy]] says he makes machinima, but he never contibuted anything, so I don't think he counts. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 17:05, 3 May 2006 (EDT)

==One Vision Comment==

Nice Vid Dragon Claws! go on www.jonah-the-whale and have a look at some of my Halo 2 Music vids.

P.S it ends in .piczo.com

== Longsword ==

Why don't you lock the "Longsword" page and only unlock it when someone requests to update it? That way it stops being vandalized. -[[User:Ed|Ed]] 21:16, 29 Jan 2006 (EST)

:Yeah, I suppose that makes sense. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 21:50, 30 Jan 2006 (EST)

Well now, heh. I just uploaded a picture for the Longsword, but apparently it's locked. <br>I'll let you be the Judge :) --[[User:Spartan 119|Spartan 119]] 14:24, 15 Mar 2006 (EST)

:I've adjusted the lock. The page should now be open to all registered users. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 06:17, 24 April 2006 (EDT)

Aw c'mon Dragonclaws. I got a great pic of a Longsword, and I care to much about this site to vandalise it.
[[User: Jonners]]
a its fine now thx.
== Cheating? ==

Wait, is super bouncing considered cheating? I have seen evidence protecting both sides.

:I think it's okay as long as we don't explicitly tell people how to use it in a cheating capacity. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 23:33, 24 Mar 2006 (EST)\

: It depends on how you use it.  Superbouncing in a gametype like HGS/Zombies can be cheating, as well as using it to hide a bomb/flag.  If you are using it for fun or for a lookout point or for some other reason, no. :[[User:Haloman333|Haloman333]] 17:14, 30 Mar 2006 (EST)

What about to snipe? (micahpharoh)

== Your Halo 3 Fanfic ==

your fanfic link is really good. Though it more like a story than a game. Its really goo though put some Master Chief in It - [[User:Spartan99|Spartan99]] - 06:47, 11 Mar 2006

:Thanks. It abandons game elements because it is sometimes illogical and while fun in a game it would be boring to read about, I think. I intend to shift to Master Chief's perspective as soon as the characters reach High Charity. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 02:36, 11 Mar 2006 (EST)

We should get together and, using the [[Forerunner|known information on the Forerunner]], create a fanfic of the Forerunner from the earliest known to the activation of Installation 05. maybe our story will be used by Bungie as a model for a game explaining all about the Forerunner and their history. --[[User:Mr.Green|SPARTAN-897 "Richard"]] 20:20, 22 Mar 2006 (EST)

:Bungie has said in an interview that although they occasionally read fanfics and may make note of the things fans have interest in, they would never base any of their stuff on it, that they've got enough ideas on their own. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 21:43, 22 Mar 2006
(EST)

I think we should still, even if Bungie dosen't use any of our ideas. It's for the fans.--[[User:Mr.Green|SPARTAN-897 "Richard"]] 17:45, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)

:I'm willing to try. How do you intend for us to go about it? --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 19:00, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)

Hmm....what time zone are you in maybe we can like get together every other night and brainstorm for the chapter that we are currently working on. I am pretty good a typing. It only took me a few seconds to type all of this --[[User:Mr.Green|SPARTAN-897 "Richard"]] 22:16, 24 Mar 2006 (EST)

:I'm in [http://time.gov/timezone.cgi?Pacific/d/-8/java -8, Pacific]. I'm afraid I don't type very fast myself. I'm a bit unclear as to how we are to write in conjuntion, could you elaborate? --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 22:46, 24 Mar 2006 (EST)

Im in Central Time so...yea....anyways..I was thinking along the lines that we brainstorm technologies and stuff like that. Then we come up with characters...a plot line the enemy Forerunner just didn't fight the flood... they had to of had conflicts with something other than the flood. Then you (since your good at it) come up with a storyline send it to me ill typ it up send it back to you were it will be checked for grammar and spelling and word usage. we'll review for a second time making minor corrections to the story then you or me will post it somewhere. --[[User:Mr.Green|SPARTAN-897 "Richard"]] 22:35, 25 Mar 2006 (EST)

Also the navigation box so it says Halo 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!

== Question Reguarding modding. ==

So you DO allow modded shots if they are realistic to the "Halo-universe"?
Like The Jackal on the ight time Outskirts I uploaded? 

Kind of a stupid question I know, since you have that Shot of Truth on your profile.
But I saw you delated Some from the spartan article. I'd say the one with the two spartans departing form the pelicans are realistic.

And I also guess you dont mind that I list stuff about weapon compatibility, although its not seen normally in-game. All the stuff I put is something they have the animations and ability to use reguardless if you see it normally or not.

:Yeah, the realistic images make sense. I thought the ones in [[Spartans]] didn't look very realistic. But yeah, the pelican one does work. I'll upload it. And I think the weapon lists are interesting enough to be appropriate. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 21:49, 22 May 2006 (EDT)

== Unggoy ==

Escuse me Dragonclaws.

I come from much experience at Wikipedia and especially the Wookiepedia (starwars.wikia.com), and i'm very used to a certain format. Granted, this is just one guy grumbling, but i think i have a valid point. If you look at my recent additions to the file of [[Avery Junior Johnson]], this is a great change from the format of the rest of the artices. However, allow me to explain. I see this as an encyclopedia, written after all of these events have ocured in the past tense. I also beleive the articles would benefit from having the images within them rather than following, making the article more user friendly and easier on the eye. 

take a look at the Wookiepeidia's format. Personally, i like the way its organized and was thinking of starting one with a similar format, but dealing with Halo. Seeing that this already exists, i am coming looking for a better way to organize the articles here. Please take a look at the article and tell me what you think of it, seeing as you are an admin here. please give me feedback on how you think the others would accept this new style: no real-world references within bios, technical names of weapons instead of nicknames (M12 LRV as opposed to warthog/SR AM Sniper Rifle rather than sniper rifle), and a few more minor deelies here and there. 

another issue which brings me here is the naming of the covenant. Personally, i do not like how the main title is "Grunt" or "Jackal" rather than "Unggoy" or "Kig-Yar". In my beleifs, shouldn't the proper name be the title, and then other cultural nomenclature come second? Redirects are not that hard to do, so it's not as if the other articles would be messed up with these changes. Just a thought.

thanks for listening.

:I think it was a excellent overhaul of the article. Wookiepedia does indeed seem to be a well-functioning wiki, and its format does look appealing. I would agree that Halopedia could do with some reformating, any help would be appriciated. 

:Until a few months ago, we were unable to upload images to the wiki. They had to be linked in from off-site, and, if you wanted them on the side of the page, you had to use html. It was out of convenience that we just stuck them all under a header at the bottom. Now that the uploading works, I have been trying to move images to the sides of the articles, however, it is hard when there are more images than there is room.

:As for the race names, while "Unggoy" is the proper name of the race, this has only been mentioned in Conversations from the Universe. The average gamer will not understand if he starts reading about how to kill SpecOps Sangheili, and will have to visit each page to realize which species is being refered to. Similarly, the English Wikipedia uses [[wikipedia:Japanese people|Japanese people]] as the article title, only noting that they refer to themselves as "Nihon-jin".  --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 16:46, 4 June 2006 (EDT)

Hey dragonclaws, send me a FR at Parp555 --Haloman333

== Question ==

How do you change the color of a template???
-gb2u

:If you look at the template [http://www.halopedia.org/index.php?title=Template:UNSC_vehicles&diff=next&oldid=20960 here], there are these "#"s followed by six alphanumeric characters, which denote color. The characters are [[wikipedia:hexadecimal|hexadecimal]], going from 0 - 15, but using letters A - F after 9. The first two characters determine how much red goes into it, with 00 being none and FF being maximum. The other character sets are green and blue, respectively. Specific color codes can be found on lists on the web, or in color slection menus of graphic programs. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 09:28, 30 June 2006 (EDT)

== Halo Mods ==

Can there be a modding section in the [[Halo Glitches and Tricks]] page? - patd

:You mean telling people how to mod, right? If you mean for Xbox, I'm afraid of some people messing up their systems do to inaccurate instructions. As I don't mod myself, I can't correct any misinformation which may be added. Perhaps it would just be best to link to another site in the [[Modding]] article. However, if you mean PC, you can just reinstall, right? If so, I think PC would be all right. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 10:12, 30 June 2006 (EDT)

Hello. I used to be Ed. Now, my username has been taken, along with practically any other possible username. Since my tag is attatched to so much stuff already, I propose that you delete the already created username "Ed" so I can take my old user name again. I don't think whoever created it intended to use it. -[[User:69.223.86.235|69.223.86.235]] 00:40, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

:I think anyone registered on any Wikia site has their account automatically functional on every site. So, I don't think that's possible. I suggest you be creative and maybe spell something backwards to get a new username, and then redirect Ed to it. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 01:30, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

::We're just COPYING articles from Halopedia, right? Because it seems that most of the high quality main pages on the original site have been replaced with low quality messed up crap pages here. such as the Spartan pages. and every other important page. -[[User:ED|ED]] 03:35, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

:::This used to be a site independant of Halopedia. We couldn't support the site at halopedia.org, so we're merging to this one. Its users seem to have already copied some of our stuff here and altered it, previous to our move. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 03:41, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

:::If they had compied our pages, then their pages wouldnt be so crappy. After all- we wrote them.So Halopedia is being deleted after we're done transferring? What exactly was this page before we took it? --[[User:ED|ED]] 03:49, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

::::It was a competitor Halo wiki formerly called "Halo Wiki." Halopedia.org cannot be kept up due to bandwidth costs, so Porplemontage decided to move everything here. Because Halopedia is popular, they changed the name and look to match the Halopedia's. Take a look at the [[Talk:Main Page|main page discussion]]. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 04:29, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

==Templates==

Hey, what's up, Dragonclaws?

Thanks about the templates. I'm wondering about three things:

1. How to become an administrator?
2. If there's an AfD process here at Halopedia?
3. Can I help to write a "How To Edit" kind of page, similar to the one found on Wikipedia?

Cheers,

[[User:RelentlessRogue|RelentlessRogue]] 05:57, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

:#Users are recruited by the current admins when they believe they can't handle it themselves. 
:#Not at the moment. It's more like: a user adds an article to [[:Category:Candidates for deletion]], and I check it out and decide whether or not to delete it. We don't have a very solid community here, so if I try to argue a point instead of simply acting, I'm not likely to recieve a response for quite a while. If you're planning to participate, we could create one, though. 
:#Sure. We already have [[Help:Editing]], though. So you might want to just edit that rather than write an entirely new article. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 09:37, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

:::Gotcha. Ok, so for the admin stuff, I guess there's not an RfA. And, I would be willing to ''try'' to make the programming for an AfD process. The basic stuff with templates and userboxes are fine, but the harder stuff might be a bit over my head! I'll try to edit the [[Help:Editing]] as see if I can nake it better.

:::On my userpage, I've made more templates, including an ''exceptional article'' template. Would a "EA" template be ok? Like the community nominates an article that's exceptional and mentions it on the front page?

:::Also, I'll be adding my templates onto the help page, if that's ok with you.

:::And expanding on the administrator stuff, how long or how many edits must I accumulate before I can become one? This is purely for me to help Halopedia, not for personal status. 

:::Cheers,

:::[[User:RelentlessRogue|RelentlessRogue]] 18:04, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

:::P.S.-next time please respond to my messages at [[User talk:RelentlessRogue]]. Thanks.

::::Roger that. The only reason I want to become an admin is that if I make changes on the help pages or create templates, I want to be able to defend my decision.

::::Cheers!

::::Thanks,

==AfD:I Love Bees==

Hello Dragonclaws,

I'm afraid that I have unfortunate news to report. I have nominated ''I Love Bees'' and all related articles for deletion. They are all fan fiction. I know you've edited the ILB page, but ''please'' do not take offense.

On Wikipedia, fan fiction isn't allowed. So why here?

Oh, and how did you protect your user page...? =)

Cheers,

[[User:RelentlessRogue|RelentlessRogue]] 07:37, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

== RelentlessRogue ==

This user is blatently mislabeling articles as false, suggested for deletion, inaccurate, etc., but without ANY demand for such labels. For example, he has labeled EVERY ILB article for deletion, stated that the infromation for the CCS-Cruiser as inaccurate, but with no evidence for such information. I don't know what you can do about it, but I find his arrogance annoying and ignorance since he's just doing what he wants based on his opinion when wikipedia works with facts.

Yes we must stop him before its to late!
and the stuff on the I Love Bees website was partly made by Bungie wasn’t it ? or at least over seen by them -- [[User:CrzyAznSprtn]] 14:39, 10 August 2006

==Pictures:== 
Dragonclaws could you please tell me how to put pictures into articles on Halopedia -[[User:Climax Viod|Climax Viod]] 22:09, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

:There's a short guide in the [[Halopedia:FAQ|FAQ]]. Is this sufficient? --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 00:58, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Fine thanks check out the [[Fuel Rod Gun]].                  -[[User:Climax Viod|Climax Viod]] 10:00, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

== Fan Fiction ==

Dragonclaws I read about half of your Halo story on http://www.halomovieonline.com/site/index.php?topic=1147.0  its good stuff do you think the Sangheili will join the humans in future Halo games or books that would fit in well because there would be a even number on both sides.

Humans- Jackals <br>
Elites- Brutes <br>
Hunters- Drinol <br>
Grunts- Drones         -[[User:Climax Viod|Climax Viod]] 12:29, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

:Thanks. Yes, I do. However, I believe the Chief at Earth will still fight all the normal enemies until the later levels. It should take time for the rebellion to spread to the forces at Earth, and I imagine Drinol would be used sparingly, perhaps only to guard the Ark or similar place of high status. The Elite in ''Conversations'' said, "soon we may be able to use the Sharquoi," making me think they're perhaps few in number. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 18:15, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

::Is it possible Bungie will introduce a new race (called Sharquoi, but not a Drinol seen in the deleted Halo 2 stuff) that is similar to the Hunters? --[[User:CrzyAznSprtn|CrzyAznSprtn]] 18:40, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
:::I believe Sharquoi and Drinol are likely the same thing, however, Bungie may have done some changes to the design since the creature we saw on the DVD. A [http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/hallofmurals.html mural] in the extended scene shows a picture of an alien that looks pretty similar. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 19:59, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

In the [Halo 3: Behind the Scenes] movie it shows a model of something that could be a new race it looks similar to the concept art of the sniper race in the bonus DVD with Halo 2 special edition.                -[[User:Climax Viod|Climax Viod]] 19:53, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

:This? I believe that to be a Brute. It is early in development, so it doesn't have the characteristic fur. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 19:59, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

No, the other skiny, tall, bald thing on the table. Oh and is it ok to copy things across from other web sites e.g. the helljumper pictures from http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/sloftus_iactour/ to add to the ODST section on Halopedia ?   -[[User:Climax Viod|Climax Viod]] 21:24, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
:If Bungie developed it enough for it to make the DVD, it would make sense that they might have such stuff around. I'll take a look at it, though. I think the actual screenshots of Halo are okay because I can't see how anyone besides Bungie could own it, however, I'm not sure about the scale comparisons. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 19:17, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

How do you create a link to another page by useing a differant name? [Nukes, would take you to the article on Shiva Nuclear-tipped missile]
:Replace all the text of a page with "<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Arbiter]]</nowiki>" to make that page a redirect to [[Arbiter]]. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 19:17, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
