Hey all, I'm just putting this down here so someone can stop me if I'm crazy, otherwise I'm just going to do it. Basically, we've got a sh!tload of listed participants, but obviously upwards of 75%, most likely more, are not active. So I created this, which I figure we'll put on every single listed participant's page. It'll be painstaking, but we'll clean out any who aren't active anymore and make targeted editing/collaboration much easier. David Fuchs ( talk / frog blast the vent core!) 22:32, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
To keep things short; Flood (Halo) is up for FA here. Also, I started the Halo portal here. It's far from complete, but you can see what I'm doing. David Fuchs ( talk / frog blast the vent core!) 00:26, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

theres is a new page for halo 2 vista I think it should be added to project halo-- Link287 04:19, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
I went through all the Halo articles listed on the main project page and updated the revevant ones with E3 happenings, mostly character pages like the Arbiter and Cortana, Marketing for Halo 3, Halo 3 and Halo Wars. I'm sure I've missed stuff and made mistakes, but I just thought it'd be good to give all the pages an update (some characters hadn't had any updates even though they were confirmed for Halo 3). As well, some guy deleted all the confirmed elements for Halo Wars as per "Wikipedia is not" (a game/unit guide).
Also, I merged the Cole Protocol into the UNSC article as per the notice, the CP article was tiny and basically just an exact copy of the novels. It now exists as a subsection in the UNSC article. Bronzey 12:32, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Just wondering (because Wikipedia is too complicated for me :D), does the project page update itself with all articles in the "Halo" category, or do they need to be manually found and added? If they do, it might be a bit hard because some are stubs or are recreated/deleted every few months (like the lists of weapons and vehicles which always have a lot of debate). Bronzey 02:03, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I've just been looking around some of the articles that are managed by the project and the styles seem hugely different from one to the other. For example, instead of having one article for "UNSC Vehicles in Halo" and another for "Covenant Vehicles in Halo" (even assuming we'd have them as they'd probably get AFD'd), the UNSC vehicles are inside the UNSC main article. Yet, there's no article for Covenant weapons and a separate article for the MAC. Just wondering: can some kind of consensus be reached about the crufty articles and just how (if all) we're going to include weapons, factions, etc. We have a Halo universe article for the general thing, as well as a whole lot of articles that basically say the exact same thing (i.e. the Covenant and UNSC articles, ODST, etc).
Basically, there's no communication about what's important enough to get its own article. Main characters and locations, for example, yes, but does Elite (Halo) need an article when it could just be merged into Covenant (Halo)? Do we need lists of every vehicle and weapon? Bronzey 02:31, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Thought you guys might be interested that I proposed renaming {{ Rareware-stub}} / Category:Rareware stubs to Template:Microsoft-videogame-stub and Category:Microsoft video game stubs. This would mean it would include Rare, Bungee, and XBOX (and minesweeper). See it here.
I also made some proposals for new stub-types here. If you're interested. ~ JohnnyMrNinja { talk} 07:04, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
I just removed a pile of unsourceable original research in the form of custom game types from this article. As it turns out, that constituted close to 60% of the article. Is there any compelling reason why we shouldn't just redirect this to Halo 2#Multiplayer, given the lack of reliable third-party sources? — TKD:: Talk 11:56, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
I'm going to PROD MA5C Assault Rifle and Spartan laser. If you have objections remove the template from the article now and then discuss it here. I don't think individual weapons should have articles, even if the Assault Rifle is a significant one, I don't think it needs an encyclopedia article. James086 Talk | Email 14:42, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
I've just PROD'd Confirmed Halo 3 Elements aswell, this one wouldn't really be a likely search so I didn't make it a redirect. James086 Talk | Email 13:09, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
Just noting some stuff... unfortunately we can't promote or finish any articles off until Halo 3 comes out. But Covenant (Halo) is almost decruftified, still needs some more sourcing and oou info. The Flood failed FAC last time because it didn't have enough out of universe info, hopefully once Halo 3 rolls around we'll be able to finish it off... United Nations Space Command needs a lot of work, I cleaned up the plot and added sections for the notable ships, like In Amber Clad and whatnot, much like in the Covenant section. I also merged MAC guns into that article as well. What else.. oh yeah, since so much of the articles have lots of plot, specifically the Covenant and UNSC, I cut down their histories to about 1/3 of what was originally there, and I think all that plot should be handled on the Halo universe page, along with notable locations and planets. The Master Chief is also ready for GA, possible FA once '3 comes out. That just leaves fixing up/adding to Characters in the Halo series, Cortana and the other spinoff character pages, the novels (which I guess I will start on, seeing as we have a month before Halo)... and prolly other stuff that I can't think of now. David Fuchs ( talk) 16:22, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
P.S. Who is going to have the game? David Fuchs ( talk) 16:22, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Given that all of the articles in this category have been merged, and it is unlikely that standalone articles for any single weapon in Halo would be warranted, I nominated the category for deletion. — TKD:: Talk 22:14, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
I saw that you guys put a bunch of articles relating to Halo machinima on the main project page. If you're willing to include those articles in the project scope (which would be fine by me), someone should tag the relevant talk pages. If no one does it by the time I get home, I'll do it with AWB. Also, do you want to include articles in Category:Red vs. Blue characters (which, unfortunately, turned out cruftier than I wanted, although a couple are GAs)? — TKD:: Talk 13:53, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Right now, we theoretically only have ~48 articles, however as seen by our article list we have quite a few more, including the machinima articles. If someone could help by adding the Halo category to these pages, as well as the {{ HaloWikiProject}} on the talk pages, I would find it very helpful (right now I'm categorixing Halo screenshots in the imagespace.) David Fuchs ( talk) 18:23, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
After a bit of work, I think that the Master Chief article is the next closest to becoming FA-class. It's Impact section needs expansion, and we need to finish up and cite the Halo3/Uprising appearances, but other than that it's gone through peer review and has loads of out of universe info. David Fuchs ( talk) 00:55, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Does any live nearby or is travelling to Las Vegas? If so could you please visit Madame Tussauds and take a photo of the wax Master Chief? Not only will it help illustrate the Halo 3 article, but it would be a free image, so if/when Master Chief (Halo) becomes featured, it can have an image on the main page. Entry costs US$24 for an adult (online). Ask friends/family if they're travelling there too, but remember to tell them that the image has to be released under a free license. James086 Talk | Email 16:17, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Think we should take it over to WP:FAC, now that the info from Halo 3 has been added? David Fuchs ( talk) 21:02, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
With Master Chief as a FAC and I'm sure many of us are planning on making Halo 3 a featured article too, how about aiming a little higher? I'm thinking of a featured topic. Take a look at my sandbox for 2 possibilities. Feel free to edit it and change which articles we could use. Of course it doesn't yet meet the criteria but if we select a group of articles to concentrate on I think that we could have a featured topic by the end of the year. James086 Talk | Email 13:41, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
In a sudden flurry of 1337 templating skillz I added importance to our resident template (no not really, I just copy/pasted and changed a bit of text). Now importance can be added e.g. {{HaloWikiProject|class=FA|importance=Top}} but take a look at the template page Template:HaloWikiProject for more info. I will add importance for each (unless someone else does first) of the articles tomorrow cause I'm tired now. James086 Talk | Email 14:59, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
I've added importance for most of the articles, but there's some which I don't know what to rate. Take a look at Category:Unknown-importance Halo articles for the ones I'm not sure of (there's links to the other categories in there). Also my rating was just my opinion, if you don't agree there's no need to discuss it, just go ahead and change it. I rated according to the plan I mentioned in this section. James086 Talk | Email 07:35, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
Should we class all the Covenant pages in one section, UNSC pages in another section, a section for Forerunner articles(IF we have any?) and all the flood articles in their own section too? McCarrot 19:59, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Someone has once again recreated an article for Halo 4. Although it has been previously deleted four times, this time Neutrality simply redirected it to Halo (series).
I tend to agree with this solution, and have stated so on the talk page. Any thoughts on this? Has this issue been discussed before? -- Satori Son 20:12, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
What is the status of Portal:Halo? It looks mostly complete in terms of structure, but most subpages, such as news, haven't been updated since June. I did take the liberty of eliminating the to-do redlink by templatizing the to-do list from the main project page. — TKD:: Talk 17:54, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
[Undent]I've just started with Halo (series). I hope to make it at least GA, because without it, there's no hope of a featured topic. Progress will be slow however, I'm studying for exams currently. James086 Talk | Email 00:32, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
The special features of the Legendary Edition also have some useful info. For example, the general plot (the major points like invasion of earth, visiting the ark etc.) of the the whole series was written when the Cortana Letters were around. I'm watching/taking notes but again, it will be slow. Oh yeah, I live in Perth, Western Australia and the exams are the TEE. I'll be back to normal next week but there's a second round of exams 4 weeks from now so I'll be fairly inactive again. James086 Talk | Email 10:04, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Somewhat recently, WP:TFA/R was revamped such that only five simultaneous requests (over the next 30 days) may be outstanding at any given time. Halo 2 was released on November 9, and Halo: Combat Evolved on November 15, so the window for requesting a relevant main page feature date for those two FAs is soon approaching. Should we try to get one of those scheduled for the main page? Anyone have a preference for either? (Speaking personally, I copyedited Halo: Combat Evolved during its FA push, so I have more interest in that article.) — TKD:: Talk 01:22, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
A request that if anyone can, try and dredge up sources. Specifically, we need stuff on her creation and reception. The in-game citation and novels won't be a problem, it's the out of universe stuff. James, does the Legendary have anything meaninful about her? David Fuchs ( talk) 01:30, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

I was just on the Halo portal page and it needs to be updated. For instance it has not been updated to the release of Halo 3. I would do so myself but I'm not really sure what all the policys are for a portal page and what all information should be covered. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rearete ( talk • contribs) 01:16, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
An IP editor has raised NPOV and sourcing concerns at Talk:Halo: Combat Evolved#Halo's influence. I did find a couple of legitimate issues, which I've addressed. However, since, as we discussed, we'd like to see this article hit the Main Page on November 15 (when it would receive even more scrutiny), we probably want to make sure that we're all happy with the state of the article sooner rather than later. It's been a long while since the article passed FAC, so it might be worth having more pairs of eyes give a second comb-through just to make sure nothing unexpected has crept in over time. Also, if anyone is aware of any new sources that should be incorporated, now might be a good time to do that. — TKD:: Talk 21:42, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
While looking through Google Scholar, I found this book. Does anyone have it? It seems as if it'd be a good source for Halo (series), as well as a few other key articles. I'm probably going to pick it up as soon as I can find a couple other good things from Amazon to ship with it. — TKD:: Talk 18:13, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Because of the growing "knowledge" that earning Halo 3 achievements while disconnected from Xbox Live makes the achievement date appear to be January 1, 1753, a lot of anonymous users have over the past couple weeks been adding this "event" to the article on the year 1753. I've semi-protected the page for 117 hours to quell the problem for a bit, but you might want to keep an eye out for similar nonsense elsewhere (as well as add 1753 to your watchlists for a bit, once the protection expires). — TKD:: Talk 23:17, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
While I guess this takes the back seat to getting Halo 3 improved and making a featured topic, I just wanted to solicit help at the under-construction portal for the 'Featured Articles' section. I've begun a skeleton, copied (I believe correctly) to have rotating featured articles, but these have to be filled in with short summaries, so if anyone has time, it would be helpful. David Fuchs ( talk) 00:20, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
This article has gone back and forth a bit between a stub and redirect to the section in Halo (series). I don't think that it should be a separate article, given the few sources available, since it won't be anything more than a stub. Apparently another editor and an anonymous user disagree. Other thoughts? — TKD:: Talk 01:39, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Do we need {{ HaloWikiProjectCollab}} ? There's never been a collaboration like WP:COTW for Halo as far as I'm aware and the current project page has been deleted. Is there a reason to keep it? James086 Talk | Email 07:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

It's been a long while since the article passed FAC, so it might be worth having more pairs of eyes give a second comb-through just to make sure nothing unexpected has crept in over time. Also, if anyone is aware of any new sources that should be incorporated, now might be a good time to do that. — TKD:: Talk 21:42, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
While looking through Google Scholar, I found this book. Does anyone have it? It seems as if it'd be a good source for Halo (series), as well as a few other key articles. I'm probably going to pick it up as soon as I can find a couple other good things from Amazon to ship with it. — TKD:: Talk 18:13, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Because of the growing "knowledge" that earning Halo 3 achievements while disconnected from Xbox Live makes the achievement date appear to be January 1, 1753, a lot of anonymous users have over the past couple weeks been adding this "event" to the article on the year 1753. I've semi-protected the page for 117 hours to quell the problem for a bit, but you might want to keep an eye out for similar nonsense elsewhere (as well as add 1753 to your watchlists for a bit, once the protection expires). — TKD:: Talk 23:17, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
While I guess this takes the back seat to getting Halo 3 improved and making a featured topic, I just wanted to solicit help at the under-construction portal for the 'Featured Articles' section. I've begun a skeleton, copied (I believe correctly) to have rotating featured articles, but these have to be filled in with short summaries, so if anyone has time, it would be helpful.

This article has gone back and forth a bit between a stub and redirect to the section in Halo (series). I don't think that it should be a separate article, given the few sources available, since it won't be anything more than a stub. Apparently another editor and an anonymous user disagree. Other thoughts? — TKD:: Talk 01:39, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Do we need {{ HaloWikiProjectCollab}} ? There's never been a collaboration like WP:COTW for Halo as far as I'm aware and the current project page has been deleted. Is there a reason to keep it? James086 Talk | Email 07:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
