Update

Somebody should update the "Apparent treason" section. His name was cleared in the last episode of HunttheTruth.—This unsigned comment was made by 184.4.53.140 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

Halo: Fractures

Why are we just assuming he is in Fractures? —This unsigned comment was made by Japeth555 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

We should wait.

Images

I've added a few appropriate images of John 117 in a few sections as its more encompassing to feature both Bungie and 343i images. TheEld felt that the images were too cluttered and "horrible!", so to compromise I organized them better so they wouldn't overflow out into the next section. Despite this compromise there is still no cooperation. Editorguy (talk) 15:10, 19 July 2018 (EDT)

They are not appropriate. I am trying to improve the quality of this page. One image is a piece of artwork from The Art of Building Worlds that in no way represents the scene where John is in a tent with Halsey and two technicians getting his Mark V for the first time. You have also shrunk images to be able to fit in more when one was sufficient for the low volume of words in the requisite paragraph. I appreciate your desire to contribute but I would urge you to focus more on adding to either this page or others instead of just trying to cram more and more images in where there is no room. Thank you. :) 15:21, 19 July 2018 (EDT)TheEld (talk)TheEld

Alright, I can see how much effort you've put into this page and that it matters a lot to you. I'll remove the images as they aren't critical to the article, though I do think it would be beneficial to include a balance of both 343i and Bungie depictions to give readers a broader depiction.

Images should be selected for their fidelity, relevance, and lore friendliness. Whether they come from Bungie or 343 is irrelevant. Should the Battle of New Mombasa page include images from both Halo 2 and Halo 2 Anniversary? No, of course not. It should only have H2A images in the text because they are a lot better.TheEld (talk) 15:30, 19 July 2018 (EDT)TheEld

In the instance of the circa 2007 commercial depicting John versus the circa 2012 commercial depicting John. It could be argued that the circa 2007 one closer matches The Fall of Reach's original description of John "tousled brown hair, etc" this is a better example of fidelity, relevance, and lore friendliness.

The image quality is crap, however. Someone ran it through some effects so you could actually see him in the darkness. Showing the beach, Eriadnus II, his mom, and him all together is much better.TheEld (talk) 15:40, 19 July 2018 (EDT)TheEld

"Ownership (lol)

This is for editorguy117. Hey man, no need to be like that, lol. I don't own anything. We need as much help as we can get from everyone around here. I just tried to point out that a penel showing his eye in Escalation was already on the page, making it unnecessary to repeat gratuitously. :)TheEld (talk) 22:39, 8 August 2018 (EDT)TheEld
