== Bunch of Bungie ==
== Hey ==
Hey man, thanks for deleting the first few Bungie staff articles! But before you delete them, please check whether they fit the "not notable" criteria. Not that I'm unsure about my decisions, I just hope there could be someone else's opinion before those articles are gone. —[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:silver;">S331</span>]] [[File:Bubbleshieldhud.svg|14px]]<sub>([[User talk:Spartan331|COM]] • [[Special:Contributions/Spartan331|Mission Log]] • [[User profile:Spartan331|Profile]])</sub> 11:19, 6 September 2012 (EDT)
:You're welcome! Yeah, they fit. No possibility of expansion as well as being short. I have to get to school now, so I'll have to look over the rest of the tagged articles when I get back.--''[[User:Spartacus|<span style="color:Green; font-weight:bold; font-family:Arial">Spartacus,</span>]]'' ''[[Halopedia:Administrators|<span style="color:DarkGoldenrod; font-weight:bold; font-family:Arial">Halopedia Administrator</span>]]'' <sup>'''[[User talk:Spartacus|<font color="Black">Talk</font>]]'''</sup> 11:21, 6 September 2012 (EDT)


== Thanks for Understanding. ==
I just thought I'd drop by to congratulate you on your bang-up job on maintaining this wiki. I just checked up on the spoon for the first time in 2 - 3 years and it sucks lol.  


I'm aware of the "incessant editing of one article" rule, but its how I work. Thanks for the heads-up, however I'm far from completion. I'll try to wrap this up as best I can. -Killjax 13:18, 28 September 2012 (EDT)

''For'' the record, friend: http://www.halopedia.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Spartacus&diff=prev&oldid=998477
Hey Spartawhale, just thought I should let you know your CSS highlight is broken and you should probably fix it. Shouldn't it be purple like the other patrollers...? --'''[[User:Rock-O-Jello|<font color="silver">I don't know how to deal with signatures...</font>]]''' 16:59, 25 September 2017 (EDT)

Technically, by the specific words you used, you've broken your own rule in a rather serious way. n_n
== Pages I created ==


Personally, I'm of the opinion that if the talk page gets too big it looks untidy and reflects poorly upon me, and figure the History section does a perfect job of archiving information ''for'' me. Never had this problem on any of the other Wikis, including the original Halo Wiki. Though of course that's beside the point, as I should be able to replace the entire contents of the page with the German lyrics to Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band should I desire. It's not like I even take part in community discussions; ''my'' goings-on are of no interest to anyone else. :P
Maybe get rid of the dropship pages but what I did for the ships is the exact same thing as was done for the [[Covenant cruiser at Longhorn Valley]]. And I had nothing to do with that one. In fact, if I hadn't found that one, I wouldn't have tried.--[[User:WarGrowlmon18|WarGrowlmon18]] ([[User talk:WarGrowlmon18|talk]]) 15:18, 5 November 2017 (EST)


Still, sarcasm aside, a silly rule is still a rule, and ''since'' I don't really bother with the community side of this site, I'll humour you and leave things the way they are. No hard feelings, friend, I really didn't know. n_n
As for notability, aside from Keyes' dropship, the ships I created pages for ''did'' play a big role in the games. One was responsible for the whole fight at [[SWORD Base]] and kind of acted like the final boss of the level. Same for the corvette at New Alexandria. The battlecruiser was notable for its role in the battle at the shipbreaking yards and if you think about it, was at least indirectly responsible for the death of [[SPARTAN-B312]] due to him having to stay behind to shoot it down. And it posed a major threat to the ''Autumn''. Alpha-Nine's Phantom was a major part of two of the ''ODST'' game's levels and played a major role in the team's escape. And had major objectives surrounding it.--[[User:WarGrowlmon18|WarGrowlmon18]] ([[User talk:WarGrowlmon18|talk]]) 15:24, 5 November 2017 (EST)

::Its not just unused stuff on others userpages. Most (if not all) images are getting renamed, and userpages are the thing thats making the whole project take 10x longer to do.

Okay, I might have pushed a bit far there, but there's no need for the harsh tone, friend, I assure you; I tend to poke fun at things I find silly, nothing personal or rebellious intended. I'll admit I did see the archival notice, just wanted to make a joke, as your choice of words was "you are not allowed to remove content from your talk page, ever", and there those words were, removed. I'll have to look into this archival thing, hadn't heard of it before I saw the word on your history, and it sounds like a very handy tool. Any advice on where in the help section to look for that?

==Thanks for changing the sidebar==
 
A good amount of the names there have been renamed, though. Could you possibly fix the links to all the characters with middle names or "the" at the beginning of their link? As per previous consensuses, those have been removed from their articles' names.

==A quick question==
In my preferences, it says my user ID is 4919354. So, does that mean that this website has 4,919,354 unique registered users? {{User:Vadske/Sig}} 19:50, 30 November 2012 (EST)
 
:Another quick question if you don't mind: The current icon for Halopedia seems to be a sprite of Master Chief's helmet. Would it be better if the icon was a golden "H", or would that be too similar to Halo Nation? {{User:Vadske/Sig}} 20:02, 30 November 2012 (EST)
 
::No no no. The logo is fine. And I don't mean to exaggerate, but I love it! What I'm talking about is the icon in the tab (of the helmet). I was wondering, would it be better if that icon was changed to a golden "H", or would that be to similar to Halo Nation's tab icon? (they have a blue "H") {{User:Vadske/Sig}} 20:30, 30 November 2012 (EST)
 
==Search inconclusive==
 
I recall seeing this pretty cool draft you were writing of the Didact taking over Halopedia. May I borrow the code for it? I want to try something with it on HF, but can't find where it used to be.

Hey[edit]

I just thought I'd drop by to congratulate you on your bang-up job on maintaining this wiki. I just checked up on the spoon for the first time in 2 - 3 years and it sucks lol.

CSS[edit]

Hey Spartawhale, just thought I should let you know your CSS highlight is broken and you should probably fix it. Shouldn't it be purple like the other patrollers...? --I don't know how to deal with signatures... 16:59, 25 September 2017 (EDT)

Yeah it should be, looks like we just forgot to add that in. I'll bug CIA or someone about it. Thanks for letting me know.--Spartacus TalkContribs 17:27, 25 September 2017 (EDT)
