Removing very high-res screenshots

Hey Subtank, is there really a need to remove very high-res screenshots? There are HUD details (the suit BIOS, for example) that can't be discerned at lower resolutions. Users can choose to open lower-res versions of the image anyway if they don't have the bandwidth to load the full picture, so I don't think reverting to 1920px is necessary. -Kronos101 16:54, 2 May 2012 (EDT)

That last sentence is the issue: by clicking the link to the image, the page will load up the original size. This is set by default by the wiki. This can, however, be prevented if the user ha set a size limit in their preferences... but the likelihood of anyone actually setting a size limit is very very little. Of course, if we can change the settings to view it only at 1920px as the default size, then this wouldn't be an issue... pester Steve/Porplemontage about it perhaps? :P 16:59, 2 May 2012 (EDT)

Doesn't clicking the image link get users to the file page (e.g. File:Halo4BattleRifleProfile.png) instead of the image itself ([1])? -Kronos101 17:05, 2 May 2012 (EDT)

Whoops. Major apologies. Just reset my preferences to default and you're right. Gonna restore the images now. Subtank 17:06, 2 May 2012 (EDT)

Hah, my signature returned to default. :P — subtank 17:07, 2 May 2012 (EDT)

RE: Would you kindly...

Sure, I'll get right on it. I noticed you moved Battlegroup Stalingrad to Patterson's battle group. I'm just curious, but what was the reason for that? Thanks.-- KEEP IT CLEAN ^{Comm Line} _{Transmissions} 19:04, 12 May 2012 (EDT)

Templates and stuff

Hey,

Couldn't help but I noticed that you're kinda in charge of templates and stuff. I have several I want to discuss about. Mind contacting me back?— HA^came 21:04, 16 May 2012 (EDT)

Im under a Time Restraint, so help me fast please.

Dear Subtank, I Need your help very very bad. I noticed that you uploaded an image of the AI known as "doppler", therefore that must mean you own either issue #3 or #4 of "Halo: Fall of Reach - Invasion". If you do, as the evidence suggests, I Need your help. I am making a 3D animation for a school project, so I'm on a tight deadline, and for the animation I need images of the Covenant "Super-Cruiser" AKA "Sniper Ship", the ship that was sniping UNSC ships, and eventually was destroyed by the UNSC Pillar of Autumn. I require at least a single image, preferably more, of this ship which should appear in issue 3 or 4 of "Invasion". I would be extremely grateful if you can help me. My E-Mail is Spirit-0f-fire@shaw.ca (that is a zero in "-0f-") you will be credited in the video's credit's. I am desperate for these images, so please help, I'm at a loss looking for them on the internet, so please, I'm desperate --The Grave Mind 09:39, 24 May 2012 (EDT)

Template:Article quote

Hey Subtank, since you are the last person who edited the Template... I think there's some issue with the Template:Article quote. If the template is placed before an infobox, there's no problem. However, if it's placed below the infobox, like Mister Zanzibar over here, then the quote overlaps the infobox. This might be another webkit problem like last time, but since I'm not sure, I came here to consult the MediaWiki-wise Subtank (sigh, I'm horrible at puns). —S331 _{(COM • Mission Log • Profile)} 10:50, 29 May 2012 (EDT)

Webkit... don't know why there's always a problem with it. Fixed... but it won't be in the centre anymore.— subtank 12:25, 29 May 2012 (EDT)

Template

Could you please tell me why you deleted the template for my signature? It keeps my sig from messing up like it will be when this is published.--Shade Link 14:44, 26 June 2012 (EDT)

Because personal signatures do not belong in the template namespace, but in a user-subpage such as the one you already have. Also, unless you plan on requesting a username change, please link your signature back to your userpage, instead of redlinking it to Parax.--Spartacus ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 14:49, 26 June 2012 (EDT)

Yes, I'd like a name change.--Shade Link 14:51, 26 June 2012 (EDT)

You can request one here.--Spartacus ^{(Talk | Contribs)}

oh me. Thanks for fixing that incredibly slight mistake I made. After 2 years, the reference problem in the article is finally fixed. :D —S331 _{(COM • Mission Log • Profile)} 22:09, 22 July 2012 (EDT)

Reach super carrier file/Covie alloy

Can you re-upload the orginal version of this file: http://www.halopedia.org/File:Reach_-_Supercarrier.png as a separate one, as it's current version is an entirely separate image. Also, both should be present on Long Night of Solace's article, as that's the ship in the image. 98.24.14.97 11:23, 14 August 2012 (EDT)

Also, can an article be made for the Covenant alloy used on all their objects? I think it's notable to point out how it always has a geometric pattern and exhibits 2 colored iridesence.98.24.14.97 11:29, 14 August 2012 (EDT)

Image reuploaded. As for the Covenant alloy, I don't see why not.— subtank 17:28, 14 August 2012 (EDT)

I meant more, "can you make the article?" :p I would, but i'm not good at formatting.98.24.14.97 16:50, 19 August 2012 (EDT)

Request

Hi Subs, can you use your Patroller powerz to move Suppressor (weapon) to Suppressor? Thanks.--Spartacus ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 10:55, 16 August 2012 (EDT)
