I think that Battles aren't supposed to be called "Second/Third/Etc Battle of Wherever" if they took place in different wars, as shown here. Tuckerscreator^(stalk) 15:15, 8 November 2012 (EST)

I agree, this a different conflict. "Battle of Earth (Human-Promethean War)", or "Battle of Earth (2557)".File:Colonel Grade One.png Col. Snipes 4 50 File:Colonel Grade One.png 15:26, 8 November 2012 (EST)

The latter is what Wikipedia uses, and is easier to link. If there are no objections then we can move this page. Tuckerscreator^(stalk) 15:33, 8 November 2012 (EST)

Maybe we should consider some of the options first. I came to wonder if this can even be called a "Battle of Earth". It's nowhere near the scale of most battles and the Didact's ship was the only place where there was any fighting. Given the fact the battle was mostly a one-man raid, with some backup from the fleet, maybe it would be more apt to classify this as a raid? "Raid on the Didact's ship"? "Raid on the Composer"? Or, possibly, "Skirmish over Earth?" Any ideas are welcome though.--Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 15:35, 8 November 2012 (EST)

Good point, I like the "raid" idea, "Raid on Didact's ship" seems like the best option. File:Colonel Grade One.png Col. Snipes 4 50 File:Colonel Grade One.png 15:45, 8 November 2012 (EST)

Well, the Chief was raiding, but the Didact was the one to attack first, specifically Earth, and he was engaging with UNSC ships and orbital defense offscreen. Since John and Cortana's raid wasn't the only aspect of the battle, then possibly Skirmish might be the better name. Tuckerscreator^(stalk) 16:05, 8 November 2012 (EST)

It should be named the Battle of Earth (Human-Promethean War).Sith-venator Wavingstrider

The year is a better descriptor than "Human-Promethean War", since the name of the war is merely a descriptor and not an official name.--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 18:38, 8 November 2012 (EST)

Other wikis use the war in the () not the year. Example: Battle of Coruscant (Clone Wars).Sith-venator Wavingstrider

Good for them! :) Using HPW in the title is too long and overly descriptive. If the Promies or Remnant attacks Earth again during this war, it will be renamed "First Battle of Earth" and so on for subsequent articles. Grizzlei ♥ ツ
