Multiple Edits

Per above, such actions can be seen as an unethical way of obtaining points. Please make all your changes at once, it's easier.--File:Colonel Grade One.png|20px Col. Spartacus ^{Talk Page} _{Contributions} ^Contact 21:01, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

points? ADinoSupremacist

You get 50 points for each edit you make. Making multiple edits within a short amount of time on a single article looks like you are abusing the point system. See Halopedia:Blocking Policy|this]] for more info.--File:Colonel Grade One.png|20px Col. Spartacus ^{Talk Page} _{Contributions} ^Contact 21:05, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

List of appearances

First of all, thank you for your contributions. Second of all: Halo: Fall of Reach is a comic series all it's own and shouldn't be in a subpoint under Halo: The Fall of Reach in the List of appearances sections. It should be more like this:

• Halo: The Fall of Reach 1st
• Halo: Fall of Reach

Just thought I should let you know.--File:Colonel Grade One.png|20px Col. Spartacus ^{Talk Page} _{Contributions} ^Contact 16:59, 31 March 2012 (EDT)

Your Edits

They are most likely gonna get reverted. See explanation here. Indirect mention is used for allusions, for example, "I was saved by a team of Spartans". The subject wasn't mentioned directly. —S331 File:Bubbleshieldhud.svg|14px_{(COM • Mission Log • Profile)} 13:39, 1 April 2012 (EDT)

Yeah basically, if there was a statement in Ghosts of Onyx that was obviously an indirect statement referring to Noble Team, then it may be a different story. Ignore my signature.--File:Colonel Grade One.png|20px APRILFOOLS 15:05, 1 April 2012 (EDT)

A group of Spartans could be anybody. A character like Jorge is indirectly mentioned in the Fall of Reach. He is one of 75 children abducted. Just because he isn't named in the book doesn't mean that he's not one of those children. It's a indirect mention. ADinoSupremacist

He is in no way mentioned in The Fall of Reach. It would be an indirect mention if there was a statement within the book that makes an obvious allusion to Jorge without saying his name. Saying he had an indirect mention because the book says 75 children were conscripted is pushing it. With that logic, you could say that since the novel mostly takes place on Reach, that Sara Sorvad appears in the book along with the other 700 million colonists on Reach at the time.--File:Colonel Grade One.png|20px APRILFOOLS 15:48, 1 April 2012 (EDT)

Ultimately, one could argue that, as all Halo characters are part of the Halo universe, they are all mentioned in all Halo media indirectly as they take place in the Halo Universe. This is streatching the definition of indirect across the breaking point (about) five times over. It would likely create some sort of bizarre precedent which would be exploited in some sick way by those desiring points. - DefeatingLine 16:06, 1 April 2012 (EDT)

@ADinoSupremacist You're not getting it. Indirect mentioned should be specific, like "A Hungarian boy who claimed to be native on Reach was under John's command". It should be a specific indirect mention. —S331 File:Bubbleshieldhud.svg|14px_{(COM • Mission Log • Profile)} 09:22, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

Then how about for Fall of Reach? It shows the children's faces. At that point you can say that Jorge is one of them but you can't identify which one. It would be just like how you can see a picture of all 7 Halo rings and say that Installation 07 is one of them. ADinoSupremacist

The rings count as appearances because functionally they are all the same, and the only things that set them apart besides their terrain is their number. Halo 2 and Halo 3 let us see how many rings there were, so it counts as their first appearance because their only identity is their number. But with individuals like Jorge and Kat, their identity is much more specific, with details like background, gender, appearances, etc, so more details need to be mentioned with them for it to count as an indirect mention. One can't say the huge crowd of 75/419/497 children is a mention, because none of them can be told apart and Jorge, Kat, and co. have an identity that needs to be specifically alluded to. The rings don't since they're identical machines with less differences. They're easier to indirectly mention thus. But Noble Team isn't, they need to be accompanied with details.

Once more, a simple mention of the Halo Array as a whole in The Forerunner Saga does not constitute as an appearance in the books. The only ring that specifically appears in those books is Installation 07, which is the setting for the majority of Halo: Primordium.--File:Colonel Grade One.png|20px]] Col.

Some sources/citations would be nice

Just hoping that you add in some sources/citations to back up what you added. Your contributions do seem legitimate but others would not think so without any evidence/proof.— subtank 21:05, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

A mention of the Halo Array in Primordium and Cryptum does not constitute an appearance in the novel. Refer to the above conversation.--File:Colonel Grade One.png|20px Col. Spartacus ^{Talk Page} _{Contributions} ^Contact 21:13, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

I firmly believe there should always be sources, too many rumors get started that confuse people. (Nanites and Mark VI is a good example.) Sometimes I forget about sources and I apologize for that. As far as the Halos go, their appearance in Halo Cryptum is no different than their appearance than in Origins and Halo 2. The book describes the number of Halos. The games and episodes show the Halos (a visual description if you will) and they are not individually identified. Either way, they are listed to have appeared in those episodes or games. As far as I can tell if it's described that Bornstellar sees 7 Halo rings, that counts as a visual confirmation. If it was something like short story in which a soldier sees a Spartan with the numbers 117 on the armor, that counts as appearance on Master Chief's part. I'd like to see a moderator's input on this. Otherwise at this point if somebody was doing research, it would say that no Halo rings (except for 07) was in the books at all. ADinoSupremacist

Contributing and avoiding conflicts

You're quite an active user in the past 24 hours. :O

A friendly advice on editing a wiki; avoid starting/being involved in an edit-war. It creates problems. You know you're in one when you have to repeatedly revert/undo one's contribution in an article. Instead, start a discussion on the talk page of the article to discuss the issues surrounding the recent alterations to the article and try to reach some consensus. — subtank 11:41, 3 April 2012 (EDT)

So if somebody undoes my edit I then start up a discussion? Or when they undo my undo of their undo? ADinoSupremacist

Yes. Because you would be in the better position than the other user.— subtank 06:07, 4 April 2012 (EDT)

Scanned from magazines is a "no no"

Per above, it's a copyright violation. If you spread it anywhere in Halopedia, you can expect getting a warning from the Administration Team.— subtank 20:49, 6 April 2012 (EDT)

Ok so I don't include a scan, can I still reference the source?--ADinoSupremacist 20:50, 6 April 2012 (EDT)

Yes. — subtank 21:00, 6 April 2012 (EDT)

Ok, so can you let me change my edits for the Article and put them back up? I deserve credit for finding them first and getting the points. --ADinoSupremacist 21:02, 6 April 2012 (EDT)

Another one...

Just another heads up. Seriously, just take your time when adding those information into articles. No one here is rushing to get it all out. Being first is not important. — subtank 22:02, 6 April 2012 (EDT)

Wanna know why that recent image you uploaded got deleted? Read this.— subtank 15:37, 11 April 2012 (EDT)

Again, use the preview feature and don't make multiple edits.--File:Gravemind.svg|20px]] Col. Spartacus ^{Talk Page} _{Contributions} 10:36, 14 April 2012 (EDT)

Disregarding stuff

I noticed that you've been completely disregarding consensuses on talk pages as well as warnings by staff members and your more experienced peers. Please stop for a second and take a chill pill, then carry on. Further actions such as this may result in a suspension. Thank you and have a good day! :) Grizzlei ♥ ツ

Leaked Content

Could you please point to where you found out that info was leaked? Thanks.--File:Main-Superintendent.png|15px|link=User:Spartacus]] KEEP IT CLEAN ^{Comm Line} _{Transmissions} 11:01, 13 May 2012 (EDT)

Citation needed

As per above, when you add a content, it would be nice to have a source to that content. It allows others to verify the source and check if it is legitimate. As of now, most of the contributions you've made have little sources to none. — subtank 06:24, 26 May 2012 (EDT)

Again on leaks

Leaked content should be kept of this wiki. Please refrain from (re)posting them. — subtank 15:12, 28 May 2012 (EDT)

Citing Websites

When you cite websites, can you please give them title so they will not create a "[1]" or "[2]" in the sources section? There are already 4 of these in the high traffic "Halo 4" article. It's not very hard, you only need to type the citation in this manner: "<ref>[URL '''Website Name''': ''Name of Article/Video'']</ref>". For example, the citation for the YouTube homepage will be "[http://www.youtube.com '''YouTube''': ''Home page'']". Please take note and do this in the future. Thanks! —S331 File:Bubbleshieldhud.svg|14px]]_{(COM • Mission Log • Profile)} 06:10, 5 June 2012 (EDT)

How many...

...times do we have to tell you about making multiple edits? Please follow the guidelines.--Spartacus ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 01:18, 23 June 2012 (EDT)

Also you need to learn how to use the preview function so you can check for mistakes before saving the page- You made a mistake when you reverted your edit breaking the link for the citation (For the Type-33 weapon) and appear "red". I went ahead and fixed it but still, remember to use the preview function. Its the best way to avoid multi-editing. A lil tip- Do what I do, open two web pages simultaneously so you can "edit and preview" without having to constantly "save and go-back". --Killamint KillaEX 12:46, 23 June 2012 (EDT)

Once more, avoid making multiple edits.--Spartacus ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 22:22, 15 August 2012 (EDT)
