Hey there. I posted this on CommanderTony's page also. I am currently an Administrator on the Dragon Ball Wiki and was wondering, how you have configured all of these additional features, the customisation on the user pages. Like the Gifts, Xbox Live Gamertag, Add as Friend, Points and Rank System, Awards, overall look of user pages, Board, Statistics, Quiz's etc etc. Also, what is large interactive box that appears on [http://halopedian.com/User:CommanderTony this] page? I would quite like to know about this. I'd really appreciate any information you can give me, if its not to much trouble. Many thanks. SSJ4 Lewich | Hey there.

I didn't really wanna post this on a specific page, as it is on multiple pages. When I was looking up [[Jun]], I noticed that his infobox looked weird. Specifically, the Height and Weight sections don't seem to wrap quite right. It is the same on other Spartan pages as well, but only those with those two fields. These use the Convert template, but I can't see a specific problem in the scripting, but it is basically a huge wall of text.

The Covenant Super-Destroyer and Battleship are possibly same class. I've been researching this and believe that the illustrator for Halo Wars: Genesis used this line from Halo: First Strike as inspiration: "vessels with five bulbous sections that were nearly two kilometers stem to stem and had a dozen deadly energy projectors." In Genesis, the super-destroyer is depicted as having five bulbous sections and multiple energy projectors. This connection is further reinforced by Halo: Evolutions which came out after both the previously mentioned entries. It states that the vessel has a length of two kilometers and possesses multiple energy projectors. As you can see, the shape, size and armament of this class have all been described in at least two pieces of fiction. Since you are knowledgeable in these regards I hope that you will come to the same conclusion. I've been reading this wiki for years but only started editing it recently.

== Spartan IVs augmentations == | == Spartan IVs augmentations == | ||
Within all of the current Halo lore we have available to us it appears pretty obvious that any and all SPARTANS within GEN2 gear are fairly similar in their physical capabilities; therefore, the existing assumptions within the page suggesting otherwise should be clarified to represent speculations verses facts. Furthermore and most importantly, lore points to the genetics, robustness, and fortitude of a particular Spartan candidate making up most of their differences, but it also acknowledges that the time they've had to acclimate themselves to their augmented body, the type of training they've had, and any real world experiences go a long way toward unmasking their full potential too. What is also known is that the advancements in augmentation with regards to the SPARTAN-IV program have not only allowed for the past strict guidelines to be done away with allowing less than ideal candidates to receive custom-tailored enhancements meant to bring them to the closest margin possible of the previous Spartan programs' physical and mental results. This knowledge also signifies that were a SPARTAN-IV candidate to possess the genetics, robustness, and fortitude to have been a candidate for the predecessor programs that they could potentially be just as impressive as a SPARTAN-II or III out of Armor once fully acclimated to their augmentations and well trained; hell, even the additional experimental augmentations that were tried during the prototype phase of the program speaks volumes of the maximum potential of these newer augmentations despite the terrible failure rate which ended their inclusion. Anyways, my point is that the SPARTAN-IV augmentation page is full of incorrect assumptions suggesting that '''all''' SPARTAN-IVs are inferior to those from the predecessor programs. {{ | Within all of the current Halo lore we have available to us it appears pretty obvious that any and all SPARTANS within GEN2 gear are fairly similar in their physical capabilities; therefore, the existing assumptions within the page suggesting otherwise should be clarified to represent speculations verses facts.

:Canonical sources DO make it clear that the Spartan-IVs do not reach performance levels as high as Spartan-II, for a number of reasons. The age factor is still critical. Some augmentations are at their optimum when performed at puberty, as was done with the IIs and IIIs. Modern medical technology makes it AVAILABLE to adults, in a slightly less optimal form. Even those who match the genetic criteria for the IIs would be hard pressed to take to the augmentations as well. MJOLNIR GEN2 is designed to outperform GEN1 specifically ''because'' the IVs need it to, to compensate for their physical limitations. Hypothetically, a IV in armour is the physical match of a II. Out of armour is a different story. | :Canonical sources DO make it clear that the Spartan-IVs do not reach performance levels as high as Spartan-II, for a number of reasons.

::@Morhek: well said, you covered pretty much what I was going to say anyway. To add to the above, there's very little justification for adding the hypothetical Spartan-IVs who could reach S-II levels of prowess outside armor to the page because that's exactly what they are - hypothetical. To date, there are two statements (that I know of) from Frank O'Connor stating that a SPARTAN-IV is only equal to an S-II in armor while the latter would ''destroy'' the former outside of it. This was especially clear in Frankie's more recent NeoGaf post (which should, by the way, be added to the sources on the S-IV augmentation page). Other than that, your edit to the page contained quite a bit of speculation and information that is at best up to interpretation, as well as extraneous material that is already covered on other pages, which is the reason I trimmed some of it down. I did change some of the wordings on the page to make it more vague, however. But there's no reason to dispute the II/IV comparison when it comes straight from the horse's mouth and there's nothing to contradict it in other sources. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"> | ::@Morhek: well said, you covered pretty much what I was going to say anyway.

Hi Jugus. A guy added an image (the cover of [[Fractures]]) that is almost certainly [[Installation 07]] but it's completely different than what we have seen so far. Installation 07 is depicted as an orange desert in previous games but in that image it looks more like Installation 04. Should it be added on the main infobox page since it's newer or not?
