Talk:Dr. Halsey's personal journal

Content secion

Out of curiosity, do we know if either the Limited or Legendary Edition notes/packing information are canon? If I'm not mistaken, aren't they incompatible? --Am I a Lion, or a Lamb? Or a Boy? ^{Saint or Sinner? The Lost Books} 11:43, 23 March 2011 (EDT)

Ich versteh euch nicht :/ How did you include that parts are non-canon?-- Forerunner 12:56, 23 March 2011 (EDT)

If anything they make Halo: Reach more compatible with existing canon, not less. In addition our canon policy is to assume that something from approved sources is canon until it has been proven otherwise. The fact that 343 Industries personnel as well as Eric Nylund were involved in the bonus material proves that this is very clearly meant as canon.-- Rusty - 112 18:05, 23 March 2011 (EDT)

What I meant by this is the "packing information," as in the notes of the supposed sender. Are the notes from the package's sender to his cousin (pic 1 in the gallery) and the note from Colonel Eton (pic 3) both correct, or are they non-canon? That was my question. --Am I a Lion, or a Lamb? Or a Boy? ^{Saint or Sinner? The Lost Books} 16:53, 24 March 2011 (EDT)

Colonel Eton sent the container to a Beta-5 operative in 2553. After the operative's death in the 27th century, another man claimed it for himself and sent it to his cousin, urging him to either send it to the Museum of Humanity or go public, himself.-- Forerunner 17:11, 24 March 2011 (EDT)

How did they get access to it?

How did SPARTAN-019 get access to and read her journal? I thought that it was both physical and highly protected against intruders. Vegerot goes RAWR! File:Icon-Vegito2.gif Vegerot (talk) 01:54, 30 October 2011 (EDT)

Perspective

This article is written from the real world point of view. The "List of appearances" implies it is from an in-universe point of view. I think we need to rewrite. —S331 _{(COM • Mission Log • Profile)} 13:21, 15 June 2012 (EDT)

Agreed. Or we could keep some of the real world content and put it in a section such as a "Behind the Scenes" or something like that.--Spartacus ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 14:18, 15 June 2012 (EDT)

Book Dimensions

I find myself wondering, what are the books dimensions? Are we talking big, medium-sized, or small? What am I to expect if I were to get it, just out of curiosity? --Xamikaze330 [Transmission|Commencing] 14:24, 24 December 2013 (EST)Xamikaze330

I'd say it's more toward the small side if you ask me.--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 16:46, 24 December 2013 (EST)

Halsey's Journal is 7.25" tall, 5.25" wide, and just over an inch thick. It has a fold-over magnetic clasp and the pages are bound with string. There's 200 pages of material plus a pocket on the back cover that has lots of other peripherals like pictures, a map, etc. In my opinion, it's one of the coolest additions to the Halo canon surpassing most novels in terms of pure content. -ScaleMaster117 (talk) 17:12, 24 December 2013 (EST)
