== Hey ==


== Userpage ==
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.


Nice use of the [[template:Header|Header template]]. Clean and simple userpage. :) — <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 16:40, 13 February 2012 (EST)

::Hehe, yeah. Though your Userpage is better than mine.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}}
:::Naw, like Subs said, yours is cleaner and simpler.

== "Unified" or "United" ==
== CSS ==


Actually, both have been used. Has there been a formal consensus as to which one we should accept as the canon?-- [[Special:Contributions/77.97.158.189|77.97.158.189]] 16:07, 22 February 2012 (EST)
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)
:The page itself ([[Unified Earth Government]]) is named "Unified". I do believe "Unified is the correct way. The cases where "United" is used I believe to be mistakes, as the novel ''Glasslands'' names the President of the UEG as President of the Unified Earth Government.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}}
:Yeah it should be, looks like we just forgot to add that in. I'll bug CIA or someone about it.

:Thanks.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}}


== RE: Preview is your friend ==
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)


Old habits die hard, I'll try and use it more often. Know this however:
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)

:2. Whenever I re-edit something I make it a '''m'''inor edit so that it doesn't inflate the count that I know you guys care about.

== Deathmatch ==
==Voting==
I guess that's because there are people who know CoD terminology better than Halo terminology, and deathmatch is CoD's Slayer. But then again, what are the odds of people searching Deathmatch here for Slayer? Then I realized you might have asked a rhetorical question.

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)
