Bungie 3D files

For 7/7/07 Bungie released 3D files on CQB, EVA armors and the Brute Chopper. Here's the link. http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=lovebungieI

thought you might like to know. SPREAD THE WORD!!! --Captain Jacob Rathens 12:25, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

P.S. If anyone can email my those files after they download them, (my computor won't save them grr *smashes computor*) that would be great and appreciated

Yeah, I saw that. I'm not sure if there's any way we can upload them here, though it would be great. --ED_(talk)^(gaming) 15:10, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Korea

Do you think it would be better if we just called the article Korea, and mixed both North and South Korean information in there? CommanderTony 18:35, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

The thing is, we don't even know if Korea exists anymore. The UNSC world is not nationalized, which is why Mombasa is part of the East African Protectorate. The nation it is in today (Kenya) doesn't exist anymore in Halo. For all we know, Korea could now be part of the "East Asian Protectorate" or "Western Pacific Protectorate" or something like that. The word "Korea" has yet to be stated. --ED_(talk)^(gaming) 18:38, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

That is true, but on a number of occasions, Songnam, and the Kyonggi Province have been stated, both by Bungie, and in the HGN. So I think the Korea article should stay, but have both North and South Korean information in it, as well as acknowledge the fact that it could be part of a Protectorate. CommanderTony 18:55, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

DUDE!!!

New Halopedias... German and Spanish, with French on the way. =D --GPT_(talk)^(eating) 00:43, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Is there foreign-lanuage support for them? --ED_(talk)^(gaming) 00:44, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, we just got them started today, but we're getting there... I know a bit of German (I can read quite a bit, actually), and I've messaged two native German speakers at Halobase (didn't want to post a new forum, in case they thought it was just spam). Phil.e. speaks fluent Spanish, and he's recruiting more people... and Forerunner and Chief frank 001, for starters, know French. That's what you meant, no? --GPT_(talk)^(eating) 00:51, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Its going to take a lot of work to replecate Halopedia's articles in spanish, particularly without great prior demand for them. Good luck, I guess, I only know a moderate amount of spanish. --ED_(talk)^(gaming) 01:07, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah... like most other language wikis, we probably won't be replicating them, but instead just doing as much as we can... thanks, we're gonna need it... I only know a moderate amount of German, but so far I'm doing it all by my lonesome, and it's all good, and I'm sure Phil.e. would appreciate any help he could get. =D Heh, also, check this out: LOL! --GPT_(talk)^(eating) 01:15, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Rollback Priveliges

Dear ED,
I posted on the Help Talk:Rollback but I've gotten almost mo response for about a week.
I have nearly 1,100 edits, created the UoH, and was an Oracle writer before I resigned.
If you could grant me rollback priveleges, I would be incredibly grateful.
Thanks from Śþλ®ţÿмЭ™ ^Talk 16:32, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Hmm. I don't think it should be deleted, but the extensive history section should be downsized and linked to wikipedia. --ED_(talk)^(gaming) 23:03, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

LOL!

It isn't really my birthday; July 12 is just what I use online. But, just as long as you don't wish me another happy birthday when it IS my birthday, it's all good. =D --GPT_(talk)^(eating) 07:12, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Question on Deletion

How long can something be up for deletion until we decide "Delete it" or "Don't delete it?" Respect them Grunts, Moue 06:47, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Usually it lasts until there is an overwhelming consensus of opinion in one way or another, but articles where no decision can be made for a long time usually just get kept. --ED_(talk)^(gaming) 22:52, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

More Mombasa stufflez

As you probably know by now, I'm kinda obsessed with Mombasa and cataloguing everything aboot it, so I was wondering, could you render the entirety of the Outskirts and Metropolis maps in a map editor or something? You know, just an orthographic perspective from above, like all those Google and Yahoo satellite maps... if you can do that, I can merge the two renders and the map from Terminal, and we could have us a really sexeh map of Mombasa. =D --GPT_(talk)^(eating) 07:55, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

I haven't mastered the editor yet, but it appears that the campaign levels aren't accessable. They gave me the pieces to the level and the means to make multiplayer levels, but campaign stuff can't be touched. --ED_(talk)^(gaming) 05:01, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

In that case, I shall ask on HBO, where there are people who can get screenshots of ANYTHINg. =O Thanks anyway! --NOTASTAFF GPT_(talk)^(eating) 09:38, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

I too thought this needed a good overhall. So I rewrote pretty much the whole thing. Just wondered if it now fulfills your criteria, also have you got any suggestions, enhancements? A Monument to All Your Sins 14:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Ahh, very well done. I would recommend you remove any potential speculation in the article. we may need to clamp down on speculation in articles, theres just getting to be too much of it. -ED_(talk)^(gaming) 04:01, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

I just moved that one 'cause I thought it was the only one screwed up, but I'll go through the list to check--/me vaguely remembers doing this befoar, you see. --NOTASTAFF GPT_(talk)^(eating) 04:23, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

RE: New UoH

Dear ED,

Definately, sir! I hope that you've read the Company System, gracefully proposed by Ryanngreenday. :-) Anyways, Ryan and I are auto-assigning the UNSCOH commanders and higher officers to companies...I've auto-assigned Dragonclaws to "C", GPT to "A", Spartytime to "D"...I guess...that leaves "B" for you? ;-) Of course, if you don't like, just lemme know, and I'll screw the auto-assignments and get your a transfer, sah. :-)

G'night!

A little mean

""May've" is not a contraction, nor a word. Please refrain from making up nonsense and putting it on our wiki. --ED"-That was a little mean, just the "Please refrain from making up nonsense and putting it on our wiki, part". If it were me I would be offended and never come here and tell my friends about how rude the site was and you guys couldn't gain anyone from that area. So this isn't a rant about it, but I am just saying please don't say that to people like that. In fact he/she may not of known that it wasn't a contraction, assume good faith. :) Cheers, H*bad ^(talk) 16:18, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

HBad, the simple fact is, this wiki is already full of speculation, 3rd grade grammar, and nonsense that is bringing it down. The the IP in question added one line of speculation with an atrocious spelling error to one article, which stayed on the article for almost 4 months. that is not the kind of clientele that will help Halopedia.

Still, I will use more discretion next time. --ED_(talk)^(gaming) 16:25, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I noticed how long it had been there, but still...anyways, just wanting to give you a heads up. Oh and if you aren't busy, could you come onto IRC? Thanks, H*bad ^(talk) 16:29, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Sowwy

I just usually use my one click delete (which puts "spam" as the reason) whenever I'm deleting, for example, a bunch of unused templates and in a previous summary said what the next few deletes were for, or when I'm deleting userpages that are JUST the delete template... I'll try to be moar careful, tho. =D --NOTASTAFF GPT_(talk)^(eating) 22:48, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

RE: You've got mail

Dear ED,

I see it as a problem...anyways, it's 12:11 for me (that is, just after midnight), and all contributions to Halopedia since the move are licensed under the GFDL documentation license, that is, they are public domain and can not be claimed by a single contributor or person. It's pretty complicated, and nocturnal unconsciousness enfolds me in its umbric insula. Au revoir! =]

Cheers,

RelentlessRecusant 'o the [[w:c:halo:Halopedia Team ^TALK • _MESSAGE 04:13, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Thats true, but we had the same license on the old.halopedia as well. Anyways, we'll let things unfold i guess. --ED_(talk)^(gaming) 04:15, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Major problem: the IP traces to Texas, not Arizona. He might be operating on a proxy, but that at most will scatter an address over a state or the directly adjoining states...o.o...Cheers, RelentlessRecusant 'o the [[w:c:halo:Halopedia Team ^TALK • _MESSAGE 04:18, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes but he also may have been reassigned or left the AF and moved to a new job. There are a lot of military bases in Texas, and his particular job probably is useful at all of them. --ED_(talk)^(gaming) 04:22, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

forgottenlord

Block forgottenlord, he is vandalizing. Look at the rc.--H*bad ^(talk) 21:02, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

That's a bummer. RelentlessRecusant beat me to the punch with blocking him though. --ED_(talk)^(gaming) 21:05, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

I asked FL in the block summary to message my secure email to authenticate his identity. There was an incident in the IRC where FL accidentally posted his IRC password on #halopedia. Manticore believes that it was the same as his Wikia password, and someone broke into his account. Cheers, RelentlessRecusant 'o the [[w:c:halo:Halopedia Team ^TALK • _MESSAGE 21:06, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

I concur on that one. Since I have gotten to know forgottenlord and he probably wouldn't ever do anything like that. On a side note thanks for the award. :)--H*bad ^(talk) 21:26, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

FL confirmed on IRC that he had the same password for Wikia. He is discussing with staff now. Op status on #halopedia removed until the mess is sorted, just to be safe. -- Manticore File:Fleet Admiral.jpg|20 ^{Talk | CSV} 21:43, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
