seems this page is vandalized daily?

Yes, 142.33.52.106 dropped a bunch of junk on it a bit ago. A ban would be a good idea. RedZionX 18:28, 14 November 2007 (UTC) \

[edit] Halo sack

H Bruthzoo, what was your rationale for deleting the "Halo sack" link? You didn't put anything in the edit summary. Anonymous55 00:32, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion

I need to stop leaving my computer on when I'm not home. I had to step out and was about to edit the Halo page. My little brother logged out and edited in his own way, deleting the whole page. Anyone know if it's possible to bring page back up? I apologize for the incident. -Domovoi 16:41, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Halo#Video games and related fictional universe

According to WP:D#Lists:

Lists of articles of which the disambiguated term forms only a part of the article title don't belong here. Disambiguation pages are not search indices. Do not add links that merely contain part of the page title (where there is no significant risk of confusion).

Unless someone can present some evidence that other media from the Halo series are usually called "Halo", it's probably best just to use the shortened version of the list. We have List of official Halo series media for the full listing.

As for individual items, the first game in the series is commonly called Halo, but I've never seen or heard the books referred to without their subtitles, given that they came after the first game was well-established. — TKD::Talk 01:05, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

As someone who originally made the mistake of appending Halo 2 and 3 here, the comment was a really good idea, and I didn't know one could even do that. Although, one should always look at the discussion page before editing (I really thought I was just helping since I was lazily trying to get to the Halo 3 page by typing "Halo") ... I think the comment is a very good idea for preventing future mistakes. Is this a common thing on Wikipedia (comments within the article)? I have never seen that done before.

It's not terribly frequent, but it is used a bit to let editors know that there is a particular issue. One somewhat common case is to advise editors not to add more external links in an "External links" section, in articles that are prone to becoming linkfarms. — TKD::Talk 06:03, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Other medical uses of Halo

I had Halo-Nivas as a teenager and I was hoping to find information on it. It might have been haloniva or halo-Neva. Either way, it was always referred to as "halos" by my dermatologist. Could that information be added here? --In Defense of the Artist 18:27, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I see that you found the correct spelling of the term. Sure, it seems like a plausible redlink. Just be careful in the future not to "correct" the spelling of Bungie Studios along the way. :) — TKD::Talk 02:28, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
