User:Another Poetic Spartan/Fanon For Teh Noobs

Okay. THIS article for you new AND older guys. Now don't be an complete ass and think you don't need to read this. You do. You freakin' do. Me and some others are pissed that you guys think you're super BA and hardcore and you don't have to listen to us. Well, face the freakin' facts. You have to fvcking listen to us. Don't give us this crap that you have a disorder or something, 'cause, ultimately, we don't care, and 'cause of this disorder/symtom/AIDS/whatever, you can't taken our criticism, we don't care. You are going to hear it anyway.


 * DISCLAIMER*: Please note. Even if this article sounds derogatory and offensive in any way, you must see that this is for the new users. Yes, it may seem bad, but its supposed to help them. And in anycase, this in the interwebs. Get over it! =P

First of All, Your Editing
Ever since the wonderful wiki of Halo Fanon was made, the expectations of articles have been high.

Things that are expected in every article is:
 * Name your article well - Don't name it stupidly, or name it anything obscure. Otherwise, you get banned, right off the bat.
 * Name template - More a few sections down, but its necessary for your article to be taken seriously.
 * Good Grammar - if the grammer suck, then your article will be overlooked and slapped with a nasty "Grammar" template. So spell check and do it good.

For God's Sake. Where's Your Manners?
In sociology, manners are the unenforced standards of conduct which show the actor that you are proper, polite, and refined. They are like laws in that they codify or set a standard for human behavior, but they are unlike laws in that there is no formal system for punishing transgressions, other than social disapproval. They are a kind of norm. What is considered "mannerly" is highly susceptible to change with time, geographical location, social stratum, occasion, and other factors. That manners matter is evidenced by the fact that large books have been written on the subject, advice columns frequently deal with questions of mannerly behavior, and that schools have existed for the sole purpose of teaching manners. A lady is a term frequently used for a woman who follows proper manners; the term gentleman is used as a male counterpart; though these terms are also often used for members of a particular social class.

Now you may be asking yourself: "What does this have to do with me?"

Well, here are some important notes:


 * The Moderators (Adminz) DO NOT have to treat you with respect.


 * You DO NOT have to treat them with respect.(Although the outcome will be MUCH harsher for you, then it would be for a Moderator)


 * We SHOULD be respectful with one another, but that doesn't mean we WILL.


 * That doesn't mean you get to be TEH 1337 0V3RL0RD!!!1!1! We already have one of those, his name is Ajax, and we love him dearly.

Label YOUR Stuff
Okay. Here's the thing. No one likes an IP or a new user editing an article and not saying it is the user.

So, how do you resolve that?

There we go!

All you do is enter, and all the world knows that that article belongs to you.

Congratulations! Step one is now complete!

THE NEW GUYS ( TO US)

Why Your Article is Non-Canon-Friendly
OH NOES! You get a template added to your article, that looks just like the one below:

Well, Okay. Your article can be Non-Canon-Friendly for the several reasons. Either its your fault or the way you think. One thing is, dont have that can freakin kill you with their mind. That's impossible. This is the HALO UNIVERSE. Not Starcraft. And don't have freakin' lighsabers in your articles. No matter how much you love Star Wars, those kind of weapons aren't possible. To add to that, Make your writing readable. Or else it looks retarded.

EXAMPLES OF NCF
 * Super Flood

Making your stuff fresh
"He r blank from blank cause I like blank."

This pretty much sums up any plagiarized article. You can find an extensive list of them here.

Basing your article off of something from a completely different universe is just fine. Go ahead. But remember Canon. Because there are those who are always watching for them to tag with Plagiarism Templates.

Which looks like this:

The problem is simply when you don't just base it off of that item, but you completely copy it.

And that leads to flaming, which is bad for you, if you have ignored the last few sections. In fact, why did you ignore those last sections and just read this one? Are you plagiarizing right now? Go back and read them, now. Go!

"My article is NCF, Godmodded, Plagiarized, or Unrealistic..." - How to conduct Damage-Control on NCF, Godmodded, Plagiarized, or Unrealistic Articles
Well, quite simply, when your article comes under fire, begin Damage-control!

The sooner you act, the less damage will occur. For, if you refuse to act, you will get flamed.

So here are steps to follow to make sure a peaceful ending is achieved.

1. Find out whats wrong, and state how you think its right (politely), and wait for a rebuttle.


 * NEVER type in Caps in a talk page. It will cause instantaneous flaming. You have been warned.


 * Be polite. If you are polite, then usually other users will be polite back. Usually.

2. Make changes on the article as soon as you find out what is wrong, and summarize your changes on the talk page.

3. Listen to the community, and adopt some of their ideas. They are not criticizing you, they are giving constructive critisim.

4. Dump ideas users say can't be salvaged. Trust me, you can't have it usually. Ignoring this one will lead to Flamage.

5. Your article should be Canon-friendly now! Good for you! Good thing to began Damage Control when you did, or it might have gotten nasty.

Check Your Pictures. Are They Perverted?
Yes. It is actually hard to believe. Perverted stuff on Halo. And don't be stupid and act dumb. Look at Cortana, she's basicallly naked. Anywho. Don't have weird or perverted pictures. This is a website that is usually monitored and it has regulations. And if they are ever broken, the picture can lead to deletion or a ban.
 * 1. No Half naked pictures.
 * 2. No pictures that don't have an apparent meaning. They actually have to make sense. Asagi.jpg
 * 3. Don't draw horrible pictures of other users being killed in rather suckish detail on other art sites and link them to this Wiki. Otherwise, strange and unnatural things will happen to the offending user... merely a word to a wise...
