Well, there seems to be huge deleting sprees going on right now and talk of a gigantic Halo article that would cover weapons, vehicles and technology being created. This would help organise stuff and stop pages being AfD'd as soon as they were made.
So: what should we call the article? And should there be a separate one for weapons, vehicles and technology? Anything at all?

I wrote a draft here. This will be sooo much work, but I think it's very needed. Leave comments here/there, and feel free to edit it. -- DevastatorIIC 20:46, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
What the? The Covenant article has disappeared. Now its just pointing me toward the disambiguation page, and when I click on the link in the disambiguation page, it redirects to that same page. I think someone screwed up an edit.... Peptuck 15:01, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
A request has been made at WikiProject Computer and video games talk to intergrate the {{ HaloWikiProject}} template into the CVG header itself. The newly integrated template can be seen here: User:Hbdragon88/Temp. Thoughts? Objections? -- PresN 15:53, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
Why is there not some form of submitted dialogue from the fansites about gameplay? Critiques, suggestions from the fanbase? HBO/Halo Planet deserve input on the article layout and scheme.
Guys theres already an existing halo wiki ( http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page) and unless for some stupid reason you want to copy everything, theres no reason to expand Halo on wikipedia. I think it should be a stub and/or a quicklink to the Halo wiki. my email is rmcelroy90@MSN.com
Halopedia seems to have alot of info, but some of it is a bit farfetched
Hello. The WikiProject Council is currently in the process of developing a master directory of the existing WikiProjects to replace and update the existing Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. These WikiProjects are of vital importance in helping wikipedia achieve its goal of becoming truly encyclopedic. Please review the following pages:
and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope to have the existing directory replaced by the updated and corrected version of the directory above by November 1. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.

I started on this page as was requested in the tasks section, but it got deleted pretty quickly. Here's the report they sent me Inherently a game guide, providing little meaningful material but that which appears to have been copied directly from the manual and various websites. Patent gamecruft. Daveydweeb (chat/patch) 08:30, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Note: This deletion is very similar to List of maps in Battlefield 2142 and List of maps in Company of Heroes, which I believe set a precedent for this to be removed. Daveydweeb (chat/patch) 08:33, 21 September 2006 (UTC) Delete, this is unencyclopaedic gamecruft. I'm also concerned that using that many screenshots in the article is probably not fair use. Thryduulf 10:12, 21 September 2006 (UTC) Delete We're not a mapping resource for gameplayers. KillerChihuahua?!? 10:43, 21 September 2006 (UTC) Delete. I still despise the word cruft.

Just so you know, it was not copied from the instruction manual or any website, just the head meats called brains. I do admit that I was nowhere near the game at the time of writing and had pretty limited info, but still. Plus, I didn't have a single picture in there, which is why KillerChihuahua's comment kind of confused me. I used this sort of layout
==Name of Map==
Default Starting Weapons
Default Layout Weapons
Turret Placement
Default Vehicles
Special Notes
I think I see what you're saying. I wasn't trying to go too in-depth or make a strategy guide, just describe the level. I guess I did go a little over-the-top with the list of each default weapon on the map. Next time, (if there is one) should I just describe the general layout and some easter eggs?
Will you please tell these guys at the Halo 3 page to get over themselves? Man Cannon is a real weapon/vehicle, as confirmed by 1UP.com and Bungie.
Does anybody here wants to create a halo clan or sth for us...--

Should we make getting Halo 2 to featured status our new current focus? previously unsigned comment added by Rubiksphere 04:20, November 14, 2006 (UTC)

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 17:05, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
The Master Chief article is being heavily and repeatedly vandilized by IP editors recently. I don't want to put in a request for protection status yet, so I would suggest that we all keep a close eye on the article to keep it clear of nonsense until the edit kiddies decide to go away. Peptuck 05:24, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Okay, it looks like whoever it is that is trying to do this is pretty darn dedicated to vandalizing the page. They created an account specifically to continue vandalizing the page. I hate to suggest it, but it looks like a blocking may be in order due to obvious malicious intent. Peptuck 16:55, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
The article has been uprotected. Hoefully, that wave of nonsense has passed. — TKD:: Talk 11:16, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Should we try and get Halo 2 nominated for FA? The only two considerations I have are the GA reviewer's suggestion to get another CVG review and Kicking222's question about use of bungie.net sourcing. Ideas? Dåvid ƒuchs( talk • contribs) 02:16, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
It seems that maybe in each section that the gameplay elements should be in a different paragraph than the story to keep a certain flow.
For example:
- The-Rob 03:27, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
I was wondering if anyone could go over the article, check that its out of universe, a fresh pair of eyes? I've been working on it, but its always helpful to have feedback. Dåvid ƒuchs( talk • contribs) 01:55, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
There's a minor argument going on over at the Arbiter (Halo) page, where someone is insistent on uploading a picture of the Abiter, minus his armor. I keep removing it because I don't see the encyclopedic value of having a naked Arbiter picture in the article, and I think its mostly due to the specific user's fixation with nudity - see his IP's history page [1] and note that the user User:Master Cheif 001 is doing the same thing. I'm not sure whether this is vandalism, immaturity, or something else. Peptuck 15:33, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Colonel Akerson is shown in the novel Ghosts of Onyx as being an Army officer on permannet loan to ONI. No article mentions this or the general existence of a UNSC Army. Since no other source specifies Akerson's branch this is not a contradiction. -- Ian 19:44, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

I've been considering taking some redundant articles that could stand some condensation and combining them together, for example the Spartan-II Project and Spartan-III Project pages, and maybe combining the MJOLNIR Battle Armor and SPI Armor pages with either the Spartan article(s) or the general United Nations Space Command article. Thoughts? Peptuck 00:40, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

What exactly happened to the Human Vehicles in Halo page? I recall reading it, even citing it in one of my essays last year. All of a sudden, the article is gone, yet the Covenant Vehicles in Halo article still exists. Anyone mind explaining this?
By the way, it's ridiculous how the Human Vehicles in Halo page redirects to the Halo: Combat Evolved page. Last I checked, vehicles are not the same thing as games. And for your information, The Halo:Combat Evolved page does NOT cover all the human vehicles. See for yourself. Neil the Cellist 22:25, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Anyone? Neil the Cellist 14:06, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Alright, got it, thanks for answering. Neil the Cellist 14:36, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
List of Noteable Halo Custom edition maps. while this may be thought of as fancruft it will be able to show how the Halo Custom edition mods are so powerful and how Halo Custom Edition dramatically expands gameplay. Agentheartlesspain 21:50, 2 May 2007 (UTC)agentheartlesspain
All names of Spartan names are rank then Spartan then number then name
Someone needs to get a grip of this article. It's bloated and seems to be a dumping group for material that was removed from other articles for being cruft. -- Fredrick day 12:25, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
