|

|
| The policy on blogs was established in 2008 to prevent the recent changes page being filled with poor-quality and useless blogs (eg. "LAWL I MADE A BLOG"). It was decided that the following criteria should be met:
| | Seems rather empty in here, why don't you shoot me a message? |
| #It should be of appropriate length
| |
| #It should be well-written
| |
| #It should be related to Halo; Halopedia or a major aspect of the Halo community
| |
| #It should not be an advertisement for a product; website or Halo clan
| |
|
| |
|
| I'll look for the page; we removed a lot of policy pages after Halopedia, the community being hosted by this wiki, left the site, removing policies that no longer applied. I'm sure I've read it recently, and even asked 118 to link to it on the community-corner so that bloggers can't file the exact complaint/question you just filed out.-- '''[[User:Forerunner|<font color="blue">Fore</font>]]''[[User talk:Forerunner|<font color="green">run</font>]]''[[Special:Contributions/Forerunner|<font color="red">ner</font>]]''''' 18:05, April 24, 2011 (UTC)''

| Hi, just two notes. Your edits are very, ''very'', ''extremely'' minor. Many of your edits are changing links (for example, changing "Installation 04 (II)" to "Installation 04B", and both of them leads to the same page), go to the [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] page and you will see many of your edits are just <insert "add" or "minus" here> 8 letters or even less. Do check the "This is a minor edit" box, as it is [[Help:Editing#"Minor" Edits|part of the rules]]. Another thing, you do '''not''' "fix" people's comment on talk pages or blogs. We are a bit strict here compared to Halo Nation. Have a good day. :) —[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:silver;">S331</span>]] <sub>([[User talk:Spartan331|Talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Spartan331|Contributions]])</sub> 10:18, 23 May 2011 (EDT)

| *Is there any way to mark my edits standard as minor? Because I will make those edits a lot. And about me 'fixing' blog/talk-posts, I don't know it was forbidden, but I frankly don't see whats wrong with it as I don't add sentences or anything, just invisbile editing. I just jump on (figure of speech) auto-pilot and change all links to a certain page, no matter what kind of page it is.

| About the minor edits, yes, there is a way. Look below the Navigation box on the left of the screen and you should see the list "Recent changes", "My watchlist", "Special pages", etc. Go to Preferences > Editing > Advanced options and the eighth one on the list should a checkbox that reads "Mark all edits minor by default". You check it and press save. Done. But once again, I think your link-fixing edits are are quite unnecessary, since <nowiki>[[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghost]]</nowiki> and <nowiki>[[Ghost]]</nowiki> both lead to the same page, and typing down <nowiki>[[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghost]]</nowiki> would make the page memory bigger, making it hard for other editors to load the page when reading or editing the article. If you are having troubles getting to the Preferences, simply press "Control" (or "Command" on Mac) and "F" on your keyboard to find the word like "Preferences" and "Minor Edit". —[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:silver;">S331</span>]] <sub>([[User talk:Spartan331|Talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Spartan331|Contributions]])</sub> 12:03, 23 May 2011 (EDT)

| :I agree that his edits should be marked as minor, but there's nothing really wrong with the edits themselves. Fixing those redirect links by changing them to link directly to the article itself rather than the redirect is constructive in the sense that you don't have redirects pointing you to the actual article, only when people search for it so it actually reduces the server load. Same reason [[Special:Contributions/Nicbot|we fix double redirects]].
| |
| To Wilc0, the reason we generally frown upon the editing of comments is that the original text the user wrote should be visible to members so it is interpreted the way they were written, as well as a number of other reasons. The author is free to change their wording if he/she is misunderstood but it doesn't make sense for others to it for them; you might change their meaning entirely, which again leads to misunderstandings, and worst still, not within their control. - [[User:Nicmavr|<span style="color:DarkGoldenrod; font-weight:bold; font-family:Arial">Nìcmávr</span>]] <sup><span style="color:DarkGoldenrod">(</span>[[User Talk:Nicmavr|<span style="color:DarkGoldenrod; font-weight:bold">Tálk</span>]]<span style="color:DarkGoldenrod">)</span></sup> 12:45, 23 May 2011 (EDT)

| Couple of points about your contributions. First, with plurals, you don't need to make a piped link like ''<nowiki>[[UNSC frigate|UNSC frigates]]</nowiki>''. ''<nowiki>[[UNSC frigate]]s</nowiki>'' works just as well; the rest of the word is automatically taken as part of the link. Second, link UNSC ship articles with the [[:template:UNSCShip|UNSCShip]] template, like this: <nowiki>{{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}</nowiki>, which appears as {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. --[[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> 14:07, 23 May 2011 (EDT)

| The following excerpt is from ''Long Night of Solace''.
| |
| :'''Catherine-B320''': "Remember that accident a couple years back? Colony ship en route to Cygnus. Seven hundred dead?"
| |
| :'''Carter-A259''': "Vaguely. A slipspace drive malfunction, right?"
| |
| :'''Catherine-B320''': "Actually, it worked fine. The drive was mounted improperly after a service haul-out. When it fired, it...teleported half the ship to oblivion."
| |
| | |
| From what we can piece together here the slipspace drive opened up a hole slipspace as intended, but improper fitting led to the hole collapsing on the vessel while still travelling through. The consequence of this action was the deaths of seven hundred people, who were either exposed to vacuum or died from suffocation as the air runs out.
| |
| | |
| [[File:LNoS_ends.jpg|thumb|right|A re-creation of the incident conducted on the ''Long Night of Solace''.]]
| |
| | |
| As we can see in this picture a hole is punched in slipspace but does not encompass the entire supercarrier before collapsing. The ''Ardent Prayer'' is invisible here, and so it can be assumed that it has been sent into slipspace, based on the radius of the resulting spherical hole being able to reach the topside of the ''Long Night of Solace'' which, when multiplied by two (to make the diameter), is longer than the dimentions of the ''Ardent Prayer''. Being sent into slipspace entirely would of course mean that the ''Ardent Prayer'' was left un-damaged by the opening and be able to support life.
| |
| | |
| The fate of Jorge-052 is left to the player's imagination, though it would appear, based on the above evidence, that he died after activating the "Slipspace bomb" (referred to as such due to its destructive capability, not any explosive capability) - I believe, personally, that he was killed after the Covenant fleet hiding in slipspace were alerted to the attack.-- '''[[User:Forerunner|<font color="blue">Fore</font>]]''[[User talk:Forerunner|<font color="green">run</font>]]''[[Special:Contributions/Forerunner|<font color="red">ner</font>]]''''' 15:44, 24 May 2011 (EDT)

| :But (not seen in the picture you posted) you can clearly see yellow lining on the edged of the ship, as if someone welded it. This clearly show that anyone '''inside''' the sphere is instantly vaporized... This is why I think he was dead, as there is no way he could have that far after a mere 6 seconds (counting from dropping Noble Six out of the ship). So He is just vaporized.

| | |
| ::You make a good point, though Kat's second line suggests that the colony ship wasn't vaporised - if it did so, then why would she use such an easily-misleading and suggestive? In a time where teleportation in and out of space is common-knowledge and wide-spread, such a usage of the word would almost guarentee a relation to "slipspace". Perhaps something else caused the heating on the supercarrier other than vaporization - it could be that the energy released by the opening is intense enough to heat metals significantly if off-centre, or that the opening triggered explosions along the bulkheads. Further, I would like to point out that the source at the end of the section you referred me to gives the level as a source though, as I have shown, this is somewhat-controversial and may be speculative. There is no doubt, however, that Jorge's status is still deceased, and so I propose that the wording is instead changed to something along the lines of "Jorge was killed after he sent the ''Ardent Prayer'' into slipspace, taking half of the ''Long Night of Solace'' with it - this leaves it factual and does not disambiguate onto whether or not he was dead before the hole closed.-- '''[[User:Forerunner|<font color="blue">Fore</font>]]''[[User talk:Forerunner|<font color="green">run</font>]]''[[Special:Contributions/Forerunner|<font color="red">ner</font>]]''''' 16:01, 24 May 2011 (EDT)

| | |
| :::You refer to her second line as indicating that it didn't explode, in my book 'to oblivion' doen't mean a good thing. On the other hand, it can suggest that everything inside the sphere was simply teleported into slipspace without an option to return to regular space. I think we can conclude from both these points that Jorge is dead. But if he died inside a huge ball of all-consuming "something" or teleported into slipspace where he wouldn't have lived long (check [[Halo: Contact Harvest]] about 'weather' inside slipspace), I still think it's right to say Noble Six saw everybody on his team die. If someone is sucked out of an airplane due to explosive decompression you can still say you saw him/her die, even though he/she would have lived a (relatively) long time from falling from the sky. That's my point of view ;-) [[User:Wilc0|<span style="color:black">Wilc0</span>]] ([[User talk:Wilc0|<span style="color:blue">Talk page</span>]]) 16:16, 24 May 2011 (EDT)

| ::::I again see your point.

| Take a look at [[Special:ListRedirects]]. If you see any unnecessary redirects (eg. little/no use; misspelled; uncommon wordset), unlink them and add in <nowiki>{{Delete|Unnecessary/unused redirect}}</nowiki>. If you see talkpage redirects they can go immediately.-- '''[[User:Forerunner|<font color="blue">Fore</font>]]''[[User talk:Forerunner|<font color="green">run</font>]]''[[Special:Contributions/Forerunner|<font color="red">ner</font>]]''''' 13:29, 25 May 2011 (EDT)

| ::I've been doing a lot lately, too. If you have a result on a talk page, hide it but keep the comment the same.

| ::eg. <nowiki>[[7]]</nowiki> becomes <nowiki>[[List of seven references|7]]</nowiki>. I can edit userpages and blogs and will help you there. Another means of redirect searching is to use WhatLinksHere on specific pages (eg.UNSC Pillar of Autumn) so that you can find unused/misspelled redirects for that page. Popular pages should yeild some results. Try targetting pages on CMA ships - I've been delinking their incorrect UNSC-prefix redirects (eg. UNSC Argo-> CMA Argo)-- '''[[User:Forerunner|<font color="blue">Fore</font>]]''[[User talk:Forerunner|<font color="green">run</font>]]''[[Special:Contributions/Forerunner|<font color="red">ner</font>]]''''' 14:02, 26 May 2011 (EDT)

| Actually, there were multiple stupid edits on that page, and as no content has been forcasted with his inclusion in it, a year-long block was put in place. I've removed the protection on the page for you to work on it immediately, please note that I will close it when you are done with the work on it (message me when you are done) or i'll close it without warning this evening between 5pm to 7pm Pacific Standard Time.

| == Clarification on "human" capitalization issue ==
| |
| | |
| In case of "Human-Covenant War", the word is capitalized because that is specified to be the official title for the conflict in a canon source. Conversely, [[human-Forerunner wars]] is a descriptive title and thus neither "human" or "wars" are capitalized. However, even though it's not a proper noun in itself (i.e. capitalized in every instance) it's still like any other word - thus, it's capitalized when starting a sentence or in templates such as Era (the "Human" era in the era template won't work if it's written in lowercase). --[[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> 06:37, 29 June 2011 (EDT)

| == RE: Insurrectionist ==
| |
| | |
| You're right, that was a mistake. Though I intended to use the word in a general sense, like "rebel", it is ultimately a word that should be capitalized since it (in a Halo related context) most often refers to the specific group of rebels during the Insurrection. --[[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> 05:27, 30 June 2011 (EDT)

| == Location capitalizations ==
| |
| | |
| Since you moved [[Assembly Forges]] and [[Tower Districts]] to "Assembly forges" and "Tower districts", I thought it might be in order to explain why I reverted those. For future reference, even though we don't arbitrarily capitalize every word in titles like we used to, it's not preferable to remove capitalizations found in official material unless there's a proper reason to do so - e.g. certain ship types (frigate, carrier, etc.) are rendered as proper nouns in the Visual Guide, but we don't capitalize them for the sake of consistency and because they're not capitalized in the novels.
| |
| | |
| However, "Assembly Forges" is rendered as a proper name in every instance in the visual guide and there is no contradictory information in any other source, so we go with the official name. Besides, it's extremely commonplace, in English at least, to capitalize every word in place names even if those words aren't proper nouns in themselves. --[[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> 12:40, 26 August 2011 (EDT)
| |
| | |
| :No problem. To add to the above, terms like [[combat knife]] or [[flash cloning]] aren't proper names and as such shouldn't be capitalized in links. --[[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> 14:19, 26 August 2011 (EDT)

| I also can't seem to be able to fix them, sounds like a technical bug so I've contacted the techs to fix it.
