I especially like how he calls his knowledge "above average". This seems more like below average to me. Like many people, he doesn't realize how big the galaxy actually is, and how large the distances are. {{Unsigned|Jugus}}

:I included it as an estimate, even noting that it was fan-made and not exact, but I agree, the latter is more accurate. If we want something "pretty", then I think [http://www.atlasoftheuniverse.com/index.html this site] and its charts would be a good base to start with. -- <b>[[Halopedia:Administrators|<font color=blue>Administrator</font>]] [[User:Specops306|<font color=blue>Specops306</font>]] - ''[[User Talk:Specops306|<font color=purple>Qur'a 'Morhek</font>]]'' <sup>''[[w:c:halofanon:Operation: HOT GATES|<u><font color=blue>Honour Light Your Way!</font></u>]]''</sup></b> 09:02, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

::Yeah. I know that one. It's one of the best galactic maps out there. But yeah. My point was, the new map isn't good 'cause it's misleading. More uninformed people can still take it as a fact, as seen in the DA page. And Halopedia's purpose is to present facts, isn't it. The problem in the map isn't only the assumed locations of the unknown systems. It's also the locations of basically all of the real-world systems, epsilon eridani, epsilon indi and procyon just as examples. --[[User talk:Jugus|Jugus]] 09:13, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
