			:I would say yes in that the info was likely derived from the marketing team at 343i. It's similar to Bungie providing the information that was on the card backs for the Joyride and McFarlane collectibles. There's sometimes some good information there. I would caution its use against more primary sources such as novels and games, but if it doesn't contain contradictory information, I don't see why it can't be used, unless it violates a policy of this wiki. When I was at Halo Fest in 2011, I got to speak to one of the marketing women from 343i and found out that she often used materials such as the Visual Guide I'd helped with to come up with the information that ends up on the toy packages like action figures, Mega-Bloks and more. Just my 2 cents. -[[User:ScaleMaster117\|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117\|talk]]) 18:41, 1 December 2014 (EST)
