:Yes and no. I've just realized that unfortunately the Halo Encyclopedia includes contradictory information on the subject. As you write, it states that on page 80-81, that the CMA launched it in 2321 and ONI in 2491. BUT, pages 44-45 and 67 say the exact opposite. They state that the project was launched in 2321 by ONI and resurrected in 2491 by the CMA before being absorbed back into ONI after Operation: CHARLEMAGNE. I assume you have a copy, and I urge you to double check my findings.-- [[User:Rusty-112|<span style="background:blue; font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:white;">''' Rusty '''</span>]][[User talk:Rusty-112|<span style="background:blue; font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:red;">''' - '''</span>]]UserWiki:Rusty-112|<span style="background:blue; font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:white;">''' 112 '''</span>]] 05:29, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

::::What if, the UNSC didn't based all of their decorations off the US Military? , Kluutak, you are automatically assuming that the UNSC is using all of the decorations from the US military. Just because a few of them are the same, doesn't mean all of them are the same. It's like thinking that 343i will remake every Halo: CE multiplayer map just because they remade Hang 'Em High, Damnation, and Prisoner. Unless you have an official source saying that all UNSC decorations are from the current US military, keep the page as it is. —[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:silver;">S331</span>]] File:Bubbleshieldhud.svg|14 <sub>([[User talk:Spartan331|COM]] • [[Special:Contributions/Spartan331|Mission Log]] • [[UserProfile:Spartan331|Profile]])</sub> 11:04, 31 January 2012 (EST)

== Filename should be simple ==
 
Per above... just keep it under a generic title. Don't need it to be too detail. We have the [[Template:Information|Information template]] to do that. That being said, don't move/rename the filename... It creates a mess in the double redirect page. — <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span>  19:07, 25 May 2012 (EDT)
 
:Hey Subtank - yeah that was my bad on the redirects. I wasn't paying attention and ended up moving the wrong file. As for the filename, those were actually created by Grizzlei, who renamed the images after I uploaded them.-- [[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>]] 19:10, 25 May 2012 (EDT)

== Halo 4 multiplayer medals ==
 
Wouldn't it be better to compile all of them into a list rather than giving each their own article? Unless they can be expanded upon, that is, like how we did with the [[Beat Down]] article. — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span>  00:01, 13 January 2013 (EST)
 
:I would have to disagree. We've given every medal its own page going back to Halo 2. Every weapon spree and gametype medal in Halo 3 and Halo: Reach got its own page. Creating pages for the new medals not only creates consistency, it makes it easier for newer users to expand the articles with their own trivia and tips. Just because these pages are rather brief when first created, doesn't mean they'll stay that way. That being said, if you like, I'll stop creating more pages while we discuss this.-- [[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>]] 00:48, 13 January 2013 (EST)
 
:Oh, should've amended that title to cover the previous titles. D'oh! Anyway, I am not against creation of new articles. What I meant is making full use of an available list such as the [[List of Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST Medals]], [[List of Halo: Reach Medals]] and [[List of Halo 4 Medals]]. Once in a list, a user should then consider if s/he should create a link (and create a new article) when s/he sees a potential growth in that article. This approach reduces information redundancy (in the event that years after, there's no growth for an article and all that remain are two sentences) and promotes consistency.
:On top of that, tips to achieve said medal can (and should) be added to the trigger article (eg. put the tips for Fuel Rod Gun Kill medal in the Fuel Rod Gun article rather than on the Fuel Rod Gun Kill medal article).— <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span>  01:16, 13 January 2013 (EST)
 
==The Fall of Reach==
Not sure if you know, but [[List of changes in Halo: The Fall of Reach rereleases|this page]] was made a while ago documenting all the changes in the Fall of Reach adaptations. I think it might be better to have the animated series's differences there as opposed to both there and the inconsistencies page. What do you think?

:I'm aware; this felt different, because it wasn't merely a change or a different adaptation of the original source material; saying that some of the Spartans died prior to the augmentations is inconsistent with every other piece of canon that's ever talked about the program, not just the other Fall of Reach adaptations. To me this wasn't a change resulting from the a change in medium; this was a mistake or a retcon, plain and simple.--[[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> 22:14, 26 October 2015 (EDT)
 
 
==Infoboxes for countries==
I was planning on updating all the severely lacking pages concerning the disparate nations of Earth that we have information about. We supply infoboxes for things like the UNSC, the CAA, and the UN underneath the banner of the UEG, so why not have infoboxes for individual nations as well? The Gao Republic has an infobox, and it is technically under the authority of the UEG as well.  -Japeth555
