Just a heads up to anyone who didn't know/notice, Halo: Combat Evolved will be on the main page tomorrow and judging by the history of Halo articles it will mean lots of vandalism as well as good-faith but bad-quality edits, not only to that article but to other articles which are related. Note that since semi-protection expired on November 1, there have been 125 edits to Halo:Combat Evolved ( diff) but only a small change in content. I think this is going to be one of those TFAs which will be sprotected for a few hours. None-the-less, everyone keep a close eye on it tomorrow and be careful not to lose content, quite often some content will be removed and another edit afterwards covers it up. Just reverting doesn't always work. James086 Talk | Email 13:22, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
I have been thinking, should we merge the different Spartan project articles and create a single article titled SPARTAN supersoldier projects (or something along those lines) I think that this will make it easier to promote the content, lets see for example SPARTAN-III Project, the article as it stands can not gather any significant out of universe information and hardly any material for a reception section, if we merge both articles Spartan-II can probably carry the weight of said section. Any opinions or suggestions? - Caribbean~H.Q. 21:05, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
Well referenced, so notability isn't a problem, but I had the thought that this would make a good addition to the Halo series article, since its so small. Judgesurreal777 23:16, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
The Cortana Letters and Conversations from the Universe are somewhat weak on their own, but as either a part of the Halo series article, or a Development of Halo article, they could be one strong article instead of two weak ones. Thoughts? Judgesurreal777 23:21, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
I have made a draft of what I intend to do to List of official Halo series media. Basically you can sort the columns by clicking the little box with triangles so that it's easy to sort by release date, alphabetical order, date that the media occurs in the universe or what sort it is (book/game etc). I have 2 questions, does anyone object because it will be a pretty big change to the article and are there any columns I should add? Obviously it will have references and better descriptions as it is just a draft at the moment. James086 Talk | Email 08:53, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
As many of you probably know, there is an edit war on the Halo 2 article regarding the XP patch and quality of sources. See discussion at Talk:Halo 2#XP Compatbility [sic].

How much fancruft could I find in the articles of this project? Can I be Frank? (Talk to me!) 21:15, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Just letting you know I put the Characters page up for featured list. Thinking about it as well, if we get this to a featured list, and Cortana and Arbiter (Halo) up to GA as well, we could actually have a featured topic for the 'Characters of Halo' or something like that. Which reminds me, we should prolly also focus on getting Halo (series) up to GA if we want a featured topic there too. </rant> 00:00, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
A few weeks ago, I pointed out a book, Halo Effect, that I happened to find on Amazon. It (and a few other things) arrived today. It's a collection of articles on various Halo-related topics (a sampling: ethics in the games, the scientific plausibility of a Halo, machinima, development history, a character analysis of the Master Chief), and would be extremely beneficial for many articles under this project's scope. To give you an idea of the depth of material, I skimmed the first article, which spends about 10 pages discussing (with comparisons about a half dozen fictional protagonists) why the Master Chief needed to be presented as a cyborg (and neither fully human nor fully machine) to be a plausible and effective character for his role in the story.
I'm off to visit family for Thanksgiving soon, but I'll be bringing the book with me. Whenever I have time (and if impulse doesn't lead me back to finishing up working on machinima for GA status), I'll try to incorporate what I can into various articles. And, if you'll excuse a momentary violation of WP:NOT#FORUM, in my opinion it's very interesting reading, status as reliable source material aside. :) — TKD:: Talk 01:33, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
{{ Halo series}} was recently tagged as bloated; I happen to agree, but since the relevant VG project page never gained consensus, and template has never really been stable, let's spend some time to come to a consensus as far as what should be in there and how much. My personal opinion is that is that navboxes should be well-defined in scope, and not resemble a kitchen sink or a category listing; in fact, I originally created List of official Halo series media so that many of the items could be removed from the navbox.
The alternative to a larger navbox is to create multiple smaller navboxes that are more focused; I personally think that this would work better instead of trying to cram I Love Bees into the same navbox as the Halo 3 Original Soundtrack. But maybe I'm in the minority here? — TKD:: Talk 06:09, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
With the plot developments of Halo 2 it's no longer accurate to refer to the Sangheili as "Covenant Elites." I propose that the name be changed Elite (Halo) with Covenant Elite redirecting to that article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Roman Slayer ( talk • contribs) 14:39, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
For the same reason, I think we should change "They serve as one of the two primary commanding species in the caste system of the Covenant" to "They served..." Any objections? -- AnticScarab3 ( talk) 02:59, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
So it looks like we should rename it to List of Halo characters or something like that. A concern is it also doesn't have enough out of universe info for the main characters (so I guess the Chief, Arbiter, Cortana, Spark, and whoever else we can dig stuff up for.) Also, I've begun converting the references into a notes and refs section, complete with divs to link to the source reference, so if someone could help me with that, it'd go faster. :) David Fuchs ( talk) 01:25, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
I've been thinking lately that the Brutes deserve their own article. True, there's not as much to say about them as say the Elites, but I believe that there's enough to merit a whole article. I'd have a draft right now if I wasn't so busy, but I decided I should put the idea up for discussion. Roman Slayer ( talk) 23:06, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

See this; the proposal is to merge Vol 1 and 2 into Halo 2 Original Soundtrack, or something similar. David Fuchs ( talk) 00:43, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
We actually have two valid featured topics which are only one article short each of working:
Main page | Articles |
Halo (series) | Halo: Combat Evolved - Halo 2 - Halo 3 |
and
Main page | Articles |
List of Halo characters | Master Chief (Halo) - Cortana - Arbiter (Halo) - Elite (Halo) |
Halo (series) and List of Halo characters are the articles we need to improve. Thoughts? David Fuchs ( talk) 22:37, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Merge these, get the List article to FL, and we'll have two featured topics. Judgesurreal777 ( talk) 17:43, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
These articles seem weak and ripe for merger as well, and I wanted to ask if anyone thought these could be significantly bulked up or should they be used to bolster the series article and the Forerunner article in the case of the Halo article. Judgesurreal777 ( talk) 23:01, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Ok, this is very off-topic, but I think it's interesting. As of January 4, Halo 3 is the 18th most visited Wikipedia page, [2] with an average of 2 million views per day or about 25 views per second. That's more hits per day than sex, but less than Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Hmm. James086 Talk | Email 12:16, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
I searched the archives of this talk page and didn't find anything so... Has anyone asked Bungie for free images? I know it seems farfetched that a video game publisher would freely license images of their games, but Ubisoft has. See Image:TCR6Vegas1.jpg and commons:User:Avatar/Ubisoft. In that case Ubisoft allows any user-created screenshots to be used if they are credited (very similar to CC-BY). I was thinking of asking Bungie for something similar. It is unlikely that it will be successful, but there's no harm in trying. The reason I'm asking here is that if Bungie has turned down requests in the past, they probably won't take kindly to more. So have there been any approaches to Bungie? James086 Talk | Email 14:25, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
I've got permission for single images before but never something as large scale as a category of images, but at least I know the process now. This is the draft of the email I'll send. Are there any omissions or errors? Note that I said I'm an admin so it sounds more official even though anyone is entitled to ask. James086 Talk | Email 08:48, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Dear Bungie,
I am one of the administrators of the English Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org), the free encyclopedia. Wikipedia is among the most visited sites on the Internet, consistently ranking in the top ten according to the estimates of Alexa Internet (alexa.com), and our articles related to Halo, receive thousands of hits per day. The Halo 3 article alone ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_3) receives approximately half a million hits per day. Unfortunately, our articles currently make use of images that might be considered unflattering due to their comparatively low quality.
I am aware that there are many publicity screenshots and fileshare uploads of the Halo games available, but since Wikipedia aims to be reproduceable even for profit and even in nations where generous United States "fair use" provisions in copyright law are inapplicable, we try not to use images that are not released under a so-called "free license". Essentially, the copyright holder of any image that we use must irrevocably permit anyone else to use it, modify it, or sell it, with the only permissible requirements being that the author be named and that any modifications be released under an identical license. As video games are copyrighted materials, the copyright of all screenshots (even user created) is held by Bungie.
Currently the Halo articles use screenshots under fair use which is better than nothing, but when Wikipedia is released on disc or if someone wishes to re-use the content of the articles those images can't be reproduced. Also fair use images must be of low resolution and limited quantity, which also means that the image's use for providing critical commentary is reduced as well.
Example licenses that would permit us to use a better-quality image would be: the GNU Free Documentation License ( http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html), the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 license ( http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/legalcode), or a simple "no rights reserved". You may of course specify the type of image that you release under the license of your choice. For example you might choose to release only screenshots created by users in the theatre then uploaded to file share.
You are under no obligation to release any material under such licenses, but I thought that for public-relations purposes, you might want to consider it given Wikipedia's great popularity. Please reply even if the answer is no, so that we know that the message was received and not overlooked in your inbox or spam filter.
First off, Halo (series) is finally a GA, good job. And since I was itchin' to get something else done, I nominated a featured topic here: the series article, Halo, Halo 2, and Halo 3 as the 'Halo trilogy'. And now I'm going to bed, but I do want to figure out the OTRS thing so we can see if Bungie will let us use their images (see above topic). 'night, David Fuchs ( talk) 03:10, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
I've been on another Halo article hunting spree, and found Mister Chief. I'd probably say PROD it, but then it could be merged into Bungie Studios or Master Chief (Halo). Thoughts? Still searching. Bronzey ( talk) 10:19, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Now, all we need to get a character one is this:
Then we'll have a Halo characters Featured Topic! Judgesurreal777 ( talk) 22:23, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
I know they're a new project, but would you consider becoming a task force of the Xbox Project? Similar to the WP:TPSP's Insomniac Project.-- Playstationdude ( talk) 00:13, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Firstly congratulations on getting Halo Graphic Novel to featured, now 12.5% of Halo articles are featured something that few, if any, other Wikiprojects can boast. But the topic for discussion. At the moment there's a big kerfuffel over fair-use which reminded me of Marketing for Halo 3. It has 14 fair-use images which is hardly compliant with WP:NFCC. Also we have this category Category:Halo screenshots. I think it should be renamed to Category:Non-free Halo images or similar so that box art and other images that aren't screenshots can be included. I'll start work on Marketing for Halo 3 when I get some time over the next few days. Does anyone agree/disagree with the proposed change of category? James086 Talk | Email 13:25, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
←Ok, I got rid of all the double-redirects and redirected the talk page of Halo ActionClix to that of Marketing for Halo 3. There wasn't any content worth keeping on the old talk page anyway. A funny trend we have is that as time progresses, the number of articles within our scope decreases. James086 Talk | Email 03:09, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
As per these comments, I say rename List of Halo characters to Characters of Halo and put it up for FAC. David Fuchs ( talk) 02:37, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

I know they're a new project, but would you consider becoming a task force of the Xbox Project? Similar to the WP:TPSP's Insomniac Project.-- Playstationdude ( talk) 00:13, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Firstly congratulations on getting Halo Graphic Novel to featured, now 12.5% of Halo articles are featured something that few, if any, other Wikiprojects can boast. But the topic for discussion. At the moment there's a big kerfuffel over fair-use which reminded me of Marketing for Halo 3. It has 14 fair-use images which is hardly compliant with WP:NFCC. Also we have this category Category:Halo screenshots. I think it should be renamed to Category:Non-free Halo images or similar so that box art and other images that aren't screenshots can be included. I'll start work on Marketing for Halo 3 when I get some time over the next few days. Does anyone agree/disagree with the proposed change of category?

←Ok, I got rid of all the double-redirects and redirected the talk page of Halo ActionClix to that of Marketing for Halo 3. There wasn't any content worth keeping on the old talk page anyway. A funny trend we have is that as time progresses, the number of articles within our scope decreases. James086 Talk | Email 03:09, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
As per these comments, I say rename List of Halo characters to Characters of Halo and put it up for FAC. David Fuchs ( talk) 02:37, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
