No thanks. -ED 19:13, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Forerunner's "Joke Section"

It started as a little joke by RR, but now it's getting out of hand. See here. I'm fine with a little joke on someone's userpage, I'll even tolerate numerous copies of it once we know what's going on, but now he's putting innappropriate jokes at the bottom of his page. The first one is just stupid and not funny, but the other one is offensive in more ways than one:

1. Promotes bestiality,
2. Insults British army, as bin Laden would be caught if he was in Wales, and
3. Insults Muslims, saying that bin Laden can do whatever he wants with them.

I am requesting that this childish nonsense be removed, and, if this kind of stuff from Forerunner continues, that he be given a temporary ban to let him see what's wrong with his actions. G^üé_ߣ^¥-∏_éҐ^∫ø_ñ¥-^†ħ_îИ^g¥ 18:32, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

I think you should confront him about how you find it offensive. Since it is on his own userpage, we do not yet have a developed policy for userpage content that is not fanon. -ED 19:18, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

help!

Dear Ed,

Lumpy has erased Sogy's talk page and written "yo mama" twice! Could you give him like one of 'em 1-hour bans or something?!

Thanks. =D

Cya,

Edit: Can't find it sorry =D

Terror File:Halo2emblem.ashx.jpg ^{(Talkie Talkie)(Workie Workie)}

That's OK, I was just wondering. It is a good image. -ED 20:03, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

re:Forum & MediaWiki?

Dear Ed,

Hello!

I'm not sure what I can do with MediaWiki, as I believe the forum function is uneditable and unseeable as well...but lemme investigate when I get home. =D

Cheers,

Ghost Inside the Machine ^{(Whisper through the Storm) (My Journeys) (Omens)} 20:27, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok. It doesn't make sense that Wikia would just erase the Forum software completely, I'm sure there is some way to keep the Forum header. -ED 20:36, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do, Ed, but again - I think with newer versions of MediaWiki, the forum function is embedded. I'll see, though. =D Cheers, Ghost Inside the Machine ^{(Whisper through the Storm) (My Journeys) (Omens)} 20:38, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

It's not embedded - it is modifyable. However, I don't have administrator access to modify it, and I'll need a fair amount of research to do before I even have an idea what to do. =D I can conduct this at home tonight or tommorrow night. =D Cheers, Ghost Inside the Machine ^{(Whisper through the Storm) (My Journeys) (Omens)} 20:46, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Heh OK. I apprciate it. Don't know much about how the forums work. -ED 20:51, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Idea

Hello sir! I come hear with an anti vandal Idea: create Halopedia's own version of this page:

Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism

Like that people could post warnings about vandals during an attack for further warning to others and possible assistance to you, without taking up your talk page space. Just a suggestion sir.--16807 Penitent Spark File:H3 Monitor.PNG ^{[Communications] [File History]} 20:57, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

We already have one user group, Halopedia: Anti Vandal Coalition, which fights vandalsim. Administrators are part of that group and keep a close eye on vandalism from there. -ED 21:06, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

what the halo...me hates MediaWiki =D

Dear Ed,

Okay, two pieces of information:

1. Please add the following to MediaWiki:Monobook.css:

span.mw-plusminus-pos {color: #006400;} 
span.mw-plusminus-neg {color: #8B0000;} 
span.mw-plusminus-neg { color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold;} 

It's regarding recent changes and is useful, I assure you.

2. I'm still looking into forum problem. I believe that it's a joint MediaWiki/our coding problem. The code that I implanted into the forum page to make new forum pages may have something to do with it...I'll investigate further. =D

3. Thanks for your support! =D

Cheers,

Ghost Inside the Machine ^{(Whisper through the Storm) (My Journeys) (Omens)} 21:02, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

nononono! no! don't add it to MediaWiki Monobook! nononono! My very grave mistake! MediaWiki Commons, wherever that page is, please! Commons, not Monobook! *RR grimaces* Cheers, Ghost Inside the Machine ^{(Whisper through the Storm) (My Journeys) (Omens)} 21:07, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I'll add it to the commons. -ED 21:26, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Done. If it isn't working, let me know. -ED 21:35, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Image Warning

Ed, you sent me an image warning:

Image Your image, Image:Yamnzzin.JPG is a duplicate image of Image:Ultracapt.jpg and will probably Deleted. Halopedia has a policy of not having dulicate images, so please look in our Image categories for an image before uploading a file. -ED 20:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

This "IMAGE" is origionally the same but you might not have noticed it has differences. Please, if you are in charge of "Image Deleteing" Please donot delete mine,

                 THX,    -- Ptowery 21:08, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

What differences are there exactly? -ED 21:53, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

RR >> WIKIA CODING!

Dear Ed,

I am pleased to announce that the forums have been restored to their former state...I'm anticipating a problem that hasn't come up yet, but I'll run further tests and see.

Oh, and thanks for adding the coding line in MediaWiki Commons.

Cheers,

Ghost Inside the Machine ^{(Whisper through the Storm) (My Journeys) (Omens)} 23:32, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Scratch that...a bug I didn't anticipate popped up and the bug I anticipated didn't pop up. Lolz, computers. =D Cheers, Ghost Inside the Machine ^{(Whisper through the Storm) (My Journeys) (Omens)} 23:35, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Please

Dear Administrator,

As you are probably aware, there are substantial problems with the forums - new topics are not listed on the main forum page. This is a problem occuring on other Wikis as well, which I am trying to rectify if it is a local problem, and which Wikia, Inc. will correct if it is a MediaWiki problem.

Also, please enter:

{{User:RelentlessRecusant/Sitenotice}}

Into MediaWiki:Sitenotice. I have done a large amount of research on MediaWiki v1.9, which we have just upgraded to last night, and am just detailing the ramifications of the upgrade and also announcing the forum breakdown.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Ghost Inside the Machine ^{(Whisper through the Storm) (My Journeys) (Omens)} 00:07, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

message function edits

Dear Ed,

I have done a small amount of research on the MediaWiki, and have come up with proposed MediaWiki edits on User:RelentlessRecusant/Tech. Please implement what is on there, and I believe the message function will be restored to v1.8-era by my manual patches. Thnx.

Cheers,

Ghost Inside the Machine ^{(Whisper through the Storm) (My Journeys) (Omens)} 20:38, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Forum Fixed!

Dear Ed,

I'm pleased to announce that I have fixed the forums. The error was caused by an error in MediaWiki v1.9, but my measure is a (fully functional) stopgap before the Central Wiki fixes it and reloads it onto Halopedia.

Cheers,

Ghost Inside the Machine ^{(Whisper through the Storm) (My Journeys) (Omens)} 21:18, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

UNSC Navy Enlisted Ranks

Hey ED. Noticed that you've tagged all the UNSC Navy Enlisted Rank pages as FactOrFiction, asking for sources. If you can tell me what you mean by that specifically, I can go about finding them. -- Manticore ^{Talk | CSV} 10:16, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

The pages just need sources. Any source will do, just a place where the rank title was mentioned is fine. -ED 22:52, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

2nd Term on Fan Art Committee?

I thought users could only do one term in a row for the Fan Art Committee. However, Ryangreenday is running for re-election, is this allowed? I really don't remember, i just have a small memory somewhere in my head that i can't quite place saying "only one term in a row". Please do excuse me if I'm mistaken, i honestly don't remember. Thanks for your time.

-- Donut THX 1138 File:Capt Donut.PNG ^{[Comm] - [CoH] - ['Nodotee]} 01:16, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Like the page says, you can serve as many terms in a row as you want if you have the votes. -ED 02:45, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Vandal

Do you think you can ban, 82.110.211.249, a repeat vandal? He has repeatedly vandalized multiple pages, talking about vulgar topics which I would rather not repeat.--Caboose File:Caboose.jpg ^{Orange Juice and Cookies} 00:37, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Are you sure that is the IP? It doesn't link to anything. -ED 00:58, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Done. -ED 01:01, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Halopedia:Image Policy spelling error

produce spelt prodice, under obscene subheading -- Manticore ^{Talk | CSV} 09:35, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Taken care of. Thanks. -ED 21:54, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Sarcasm?

Oh no im saying teh truth agree with wath your saying.--ME The Great 20:11, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, OK. I couldn't really tell how you said that...stupid internet. -ED 20:57, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm not considered active?

I guess not because I haven't been on for a while, I just remembered my password today and have had to use other accounts such as gaga23 and parp555 Haloman333 23:36, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

If you're talking about the status of your account on the wikia rankings, yes if you make no edits on an account in 1 month, you are considered inactive. -ED 01:40, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Unyielding Hierophant pic

Ed, how come we know a lot more about unsc technology then covenant, and not many pic's of there starships. I mean we have the discriptions of these vessels in the halo books, but bungie only shows three typs of covenant ships in the curent halo games, and high chaity only shows covenant battle cruiers in there large fleet. Same goes with the Unyielding Hierophant, the "larger cariers" and the "five bubus section ship" in halo first strike, why is bungie so reluctent to show these ships or picks?--Admiral Sozai Nexes^FLEETCOMM 11:10, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

The Halo series is going in a different direction tahtn other sci-fi universes. Halo is immensely popular and makes huge money for bungie, as well as keeping fans like us hooked on it. Someday they may publish technical manuals, starship and fleet schematics, and the like, but for now, they have only limited manpower, and are pushing for quality over quantity. After all, Halo has a much smaller audience than Star Wars. -ED 19:45, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes I know, the games make alot of money. And with the movie and other games to follow(Halo 3,halo wars), halo will proably attract more people. but they have made hundreds of books and novels that tell the whole story, staship discriptions can easly take phsical form within a persons mind, but do they ultmetly fit the apperance of the vessel in pics? bungie could at least give some sort of art, silluate, or model. No, I am not aruing on this matter, I am just voicing my opion to the unsolved mysters of halo, like the fourruners and there tecnogly.--Admiral Sozai Nexes^FLEETCOMM 22:54, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Not gonna lie, I wish they would release something like that, too. It would be a lot of fun to add to the wiki. -ED 23:02, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Me to, but one thing that excapes me is the locatons of the weapons on both the unsc and the covenant's staships--Admiral Sozai Nexes^FLEETCOMM 15:04, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

vandal

i just wanted to let you know of this vandal i saw: 72.75.234.42 . he vandalized a wikia staff's user page:Sannse. he also vandalised leckgolo's talk page, but you already fixed that. File:UoH.gif File:Navy Vice Admiral.PNGThe Lieutenant General 20:55, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I blocked him quickly, it looks like he was trying to vandalize again. Good work. -ED 20:58, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

re: award

Thanks for the award.--Raptor117 02:47, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Any Fan fic

Since I know that you may or may not be on Halo Fanon much...(long boring explanation), you can put any fanon on the wiki. The format that we have, doesn't have to be the set design, that was just the excepted design. By the way, I gave you roll-back rights on Halo Fanon, since you are a Bureaucrat here. Anyways thanks, --H*bad 03:20, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks very much. I may end up there more often than I thought. -ED 19:13, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Fanfiction

Yes, but the stuff that Esemono deleted was on my page. My personal page. I don't think that putting fan-fic up there is a problem, correct? Please let me know. Regards, SPARTAN-091 File:UNSC.jpg ^{HelmetComm||Juliet} 19:47, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
