 ::Just out of curiosity, did the employee in question bring up Halo fan wikis (or mention that they used HN) or did you just spontaneously tell them to use Halopedia? --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 13:52, 12 August 2014 (EDT)
 ::: He linked to an article on halo wiki. I think it was the mighty vociferous. [[User:Erickyboo|Erickyboo]] ([[User talk:Erickyboo|talk]]) 17:35, 12 August 2014 (EDT)
+::::Oh, okay. That kind of thing still happens too often. Hope they know better now. At least the bit I noted in the OP is clearly from this wiki (HN shamelessly copied an earlier revision of the text to their Thomas Lasky article, but it's still noticeably different from ours, and they have no plot summary for ''FUD''). Given their very apparent use of this wiki, I wish 343i would acknowledge us more clearly. I think they did highlight Halopedia's anniversary a couple of years back, but something like a link on the Halo Official Site would do wonders to our legitimacy and visibility.
+::::On a side note, looking back, I wish that when the Halopedian administration still had influence within the Wikia site, we'd have suggested a more obscure name than "Halo Nation", which 343i uses as a synonym for the community. Then again, if everything had gone to plan and Wikia hadn't interfered it would've worked just fine. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 01:30, 13 August 2014 (EDT)
