I just searched halopedia on my iPad (my computer is broken), and... I dunno if it's the same for everybody, but it showed us as the number one google search, not halo nation. Can someone Please confirm this and post a screenshot, I can't figure out how to from here. Exciting news, if so! pestilence Phil, pestilence! 23:09, 4 February 2012 (EST)

Won't post a screenshot but I can confirm that. :) — subtank 07:48, 5 February 2012 (EST)

Same. Just searched and we're the #1 result on Google. Also checked Yahoo! and Bing. They both had us at #2 behind Halo Nation, but nobody uses those search engines anyway, so I call it win.-- Rusty - 112 11:29, 5 February 2012 (EST)

Hooray! Took long enough...--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs}

I hate the idea of people looking for a Halo encyclopedia an going to Halo Nation, its such a bad site, its so behind in Halo news. It might send people the wrong idea about the Halo community. This is truly great news! BushWookie^Camper 11:53, 5 February 2012 (EST)

The result for Halo Nation even appears third, after our articles for Halo: Reach and Halo: Glasslands.DefeatingLine 13:45, 5 February 2012 (EST)

While it is nice that we're finally getting the credibility and recognition we deserve, please do not gloat and put down our fellow members on Halo Nation. They're doing the best they can with a limited userbase of highly seasoned users, yet receive plenty of willing contributors each day. Saying otherwise or mocking them is unprofessional and not what Halopedian.com is about. Grizzlei ♥ ツ

^Per above. Though yay for the high search! Tuckerscreator^(stalk) 15:08, 5 February 2012 (EST)

Something just occurred to me. I wonder if this is the result of google's changes to match a user's preferences. pestilence Phil, pestilence! 11:19, 6 February 2012 (EST)

Possibly. I tried the search again today and Halo Nation is back at Number 1. Karmic punishment for our hubris, perhaps?-- Rusty - 112 16:16, 6 February 2012 (EST)

Same here :/ seems like that was short lived... BushWookie^Camper 16:25, 6 February 2012 (EST)

Wikia's monopoly probably did it. This is really getting annoying. Halo Nation is not Halopedia.--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs}

On another note could we we possibly request Wikia to remove Halo Nation as a search result for Halopedia, or does Google have to do it?--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs}
