Forum:Evidence for NCF?

I've been looking around the site, and I've noticed that very many newbies that have NCF articles are given no evidence to work off of. For example, a newbie makes an article about a SPARTAN-III Beta Company member but isn't aware for some reason even after looking around on Halopedia that members of special teams like Noble, Tom and Lucy are the only remaining ones. Then, a veteran or admin comes by and painfully scolds them for not knowing the right thing, and on rare instances swearing is used, only making the newbie that much more oblivious to what the right to do is, which is look on Halopedia's page about Beta Company rather than argue back. What I feel the admin should do is this:


 * Supply a link providing ample evidence from Halopedia.
 * If no link is present, take a minute to politely explain what is wrong.
 * Also, provide a suggestion as to how they could change it.
 * Don't show your outright frustration towards ill-knowledged newbies. I've seen it happen where a little mistake brings on hurtful criticism.

Again, doing this will make newbies feel much more welcome. PLEASE NOTE that this is not directed to any single member of the site but rather to the whole of the community, and nobody should take it personally as it is my personal suggestion and/or belief.
