Why was I blocked?
I am sending this message through the "Halo Fanon" wikia because I am currently banned from the Halopedia for reasons I am unsure of. I know you probably get your fair share of messages such as these all the time, but I seriously have no idea of what I did wrong. I am a fairly active on the Halopedia, and currently am a nominee for the "Halopedian of the Month" award. I really wanted to win this award, so I put myself under super-high alert to only make "great" edits for the rest of the month. I noticed that under the talk pages for some machinima articles there were newbies to the Halo universe that asked if the machinima were canonical. Of course they are not, so I though I would ease the confusion by adding a "" mark on the top of the (5?) machinima pages. CommanderTony immediately undid all those and banned me for two weeks mocking my edits by mimicking the first half of my summary ("Believe it or not...") and said that he had told me to stop creating "pointless edits." I am fully unaware of him ever telling me anything of the sort, and I still think of my edits as pretty helpful for those who didn't understand the canonical boundaries. CommanderTony never gave me a reason for this ban or why he believed my edits were pointless, and I can no longer contact him through the Halopedia. I was wondering if you could help me out and see what he was talking about! It was never my intention to spam the wikia.

hello
hey, dragonclaws, it's RR from Halopedia.

how's it going, man?

hope to see your fanon soon!

I mean you. I didn't really notice too much sexual content besides the mention of nudity, but I was reading at 3:00 in the morning, so if there's worse, I probably wouldn't remember it.--Maslab 00:53, 15 April 2009 (UTC) (UTC)

Okay, that is a bit more than just nudity, but it doesn't really go in to detail, does it? The mere mention of rape is not enough to merit an explicit content warning, as the mention of nudity doesn't merit the same.--Maslab 02:39, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

re:Searchicon template?
Dear Dragonclaws,

Yeah, thanks. =D It took me several hours to work it out last night and several minutes this morning, as not only do you need the template, you need two Javascript files and also modifications to Commons cascading style sheet to get it to work. =D

However...about the randomized search images, my browser has a problem, I don't know if it has it with yours. When it randomly cycles through, does it ever show the pic of Cortana + MC that used to be the only search icon?

Later. =D

Beta test
You wanted to help.

Halo: Last Stand (title is tentative)

Prologue

The Arbiter stood over Tartarus, Energy Sword unsheathed. Tartarus’ allies lay around them as corpses, with the Arbiter’s roaring in victory. Tartarus let out a moan.

“Heh, heh,” he said in a mocking voice. “You may have stopped me now, but the Holy Prophet of Truth is already on his way to activate the Great Rings! I shall be a god!”

The Arbiter merely looked at the Brute with steely determination.

“You have no idea how these rings work. Even though you know the truth, you still believe the Prophets’ lies. You must be stopped, as you will doom us all!”

Without fanfare, he thrust his Sword down into the Chieftain’s chest. Tartarus let out a final death throe, and fell limp. The Arbiter sheathed his sword and turned to Commander Miranda Keyes.

“Human. Retrieve the Index! Hurry, before it activates!”

She jumped onto a moving platform, getting into a prone position to avoid an oncoming protrusion, and leaped back onto the main area. Almost tripping over a fallen Elite, she dashed towards the column of blue light. Reaching as far as she could, Miranda swiped the Index from its place. As she stared at what she hand in her hands, Sergeant Major Avery Johnson walked up to her.

“Is doing everything at the last minute your style, ma’am?” he said as a joke.

“Perhaps,” she replied with a grin.

“Well, I don’t think the Chief would… hey, what’s that?” the Sergeant inquired while looking at a monitor.

“Well, that’s simple,” the Monitor of Installation 04, 343 Guilty Spark said out of nowhere.

“Well, what is it?” Keyes asked.

“You see, this Installation has been building up energy to fire,” 343 explained. “When you jerked the Index out of its spot, it set up a beacon system. A work of genius if you ask-“

“Hold on. A beacon? To what?” Johnson interrupted.

“The other Installations. They are now officially on standby and are ready for remote detonation. As you Reclaimers would say, duh.” Spark said in a whimsical voice.

“Where could someone go to remotely activate the Halos?” Keyes questioned.

Spark was taken aback. “Why… the Ark, of course.”

The Arbiter walked up behind Miranda and Keyes. “And where, Oracle, is that?”

“Planet E-03910 of the Alpha Solanum System. But you would call it Earth.”

Keyes was truly shocked. “No… we’ve fought for so much, and the Covenant are so close to winning. How do we beat them, Spark? How?”

“Calm down, human,” the Arbiter said. “You are merely lying to yourself that the Covenant are superior. Realize this is a lie and only a lie, and continue towards their ultimate defeat!”

His Elite allies roared in agreement.

“Well, we better get going. But just how are we going to get back to Earth, anyway?” Johnson said.

“I can take care of that,” Spark chimed in. “Like all Installations, this ring has an advanced teleportation system. We can pinpoint the location of one of your Frigates, and then use the Slipspace drive to get to Earth.”

“Good thinking, Oracle,” the Arbiter said. He then looked at his Elites.

“Men! Final victory is within our grasp! The liars have fled to the Humans’ homeworld in a final effort to slay us all! However, stand firm, calm, and with great ferocity, and we shall drive them to extinction!”

This time, the Elites let out a roar worthy of a Chieftain’s.

“You heard the man,” Keyes said to Johnson. “Just stay firm and we’ll get through this. Then we can enjoy peace once more.”

“Yes, ma'am!”

“Excuse me,” Spark said, “but I can only teleport three objects, living or not, at a time. I just thought everyone would like to be clear on that.”

“Yeah, yeah, less talky, more warpy!” Johnson said in his usual sarcastic tone.

As the Arbiter, Keyes, and Johnson were about to be teleported, Johnson got in one final line.

“By the way, Spark, if you ever sneak up on me like that again, I’ll get Tartarus’ hammer and hit you with it until your circuits fall out. Just so everyone’s clear on that.”

Cortana walked through High Charity’s systems, or what was left of it. The Flood were already making large progress in infesting the former Covenant capital. Amethyst and yellow green mixed disproportionately wherever she looked; there were even what looked like spores floating in the air. She soon found herself in the Council Chamber, where she sat down to think. She remembered when John raided this city; here was his second encounter with Brutes. Looking around, she saw three tentacles enter the Chamber.

“Silence fills the empty grave, now that I am gone,” said an all-too-familiar voice.

“But my mind is not at rest, for questions linger on.”

Now the mass was heading in her direction. “I will ask, and you will answer.”

As a tentacle was about to touch her, she held up her hand to stop it. She thought for a few seconds on what to do. Deciding that if she didn’t follow the inquirer’s commands she could be killed, the AI finally gave in.

“All right. Shoot.”

The Gravemind’s tentacles made what seemed to be a smile. “Good.”

“So, what do you want?” she asked nonchalantly.

“''Why, that’s simple. You.''” With that, the tentacles appeared within the circuitry and surrounded Cortana. Poised like tigers, they suddenly jumped towards her, constricting the AI.

They covered her legs, arms, and chest. The pain was nearly unbearable. Although she fought, the tentacles only tightened their grip, until she was out of energy. The spores surrounded her, and raced forwards into her body. She let out a final scream, and dropped her head in tiredness.

When she awoke, the AI found herself in some sort of prison. Making a systems check on herself, she found that she had changed forever. She was still a calm indigo, but had tinges of yellow-green. The vast majority of her systems had been reworked to appear as a Flood form. A personality check showed she was much more serious and melancholy.

After this, she was aware that the Gravemind, who had just before turned her into this, was watching her.

“And now the pursuit of knowledge shall begin.”

Cortana just watched, waiting for the first question.

“''You have a partner. The one in olive armor. Who is he?''”

“A friend.”

Gravemind knew that was not all of the story, however. It raided her memory to find the real truth: that he was drafted to fight at the age of six and obtained the armor to battle the former populants of this station.

“Maybe since you now know what I am capable of, you will answer in full,” Gravemind stated. “''Why do you fight us? We offer peace and salvation.''”

“I am an artificial intelligence of the United Nations Space Command, and that is all.”

“No. You have not realized it yet, but you are the Cause’s and the Cause’s alone.”

“Until I see that for myself, you’re just lying, as far as I’m concerned.”

“''Foolish one. Perhaps I had taken haste to question you right after assimilation. I will give you time to yourself, so you can come to terms with what you are.''” With that, the advanced Parasite slithered into another recess of High Charity. Cortana was now alone.

‘What am I?’ she thought out loud. ‘Why am I here?’

She then remembered an emergency communication line between her and John. It was code-named EMERCOM, and was to be used only in times of crisis when all other manners of communication were impossible. Cortana opened the program, and entered the password: Sierra-39. She then recorded the message to be sent.

“Could you sacrifice me to complete your mission? Could you watch me die?” After sending the message, all she could do was wait and pray John got the communiqué in time.

Until next time, respect them Grunts. This is M  ø  u  s  e, squeaking out! 20:24, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

RE: Critiques
Dear Dragonclaws,

Thanks much. My writing's often criticized by readers (including my professors :P) as unnecessarily awkward; I guess it's just my own convoluted writing style.

I wrote this piece almost exactly a year ago (that is, on my hard drive), so reading over my mistakes, especially the immature ones, was quite painful. ^^ I have a loadful of more pages that I will upload once I have access to my original PC again, and I will attempt to follow your critiques as closely as possible. I highly value your advice, and once again thank you for your time, sir.

Congratulations on your administratorship
Dear Dragonclaws,

I am pleased to announce that you have been confirmed as an Administrator of the Halo Fan Fiction Wikia. This was performed by me with the consultation of two other administrators, who offered strong recommendations for you in light of your exceptional work. On Halo Fanon:Administrators, there is a guide to usage of administrative extensions.

So, again, congratulations on your work and your promotion! Feel free to correspond with me at my talk page, User talk:RelentlessRecusant, or my email: relentlessrecusant@gmail.com.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

URGENT: Halo Fanon:Fanon of the Month
Dear Dragonclaws,

The Fiction of the Month project has been abandoned for months, and since there's real live activity sparking around here, I'm wondering if you'd approve if we started it back up again. If we do start it back up, is it open to community vote or just administrator vote? The problem with a community vote is the exceptionalism of pieces is often...obsfucated by personal connections between users.

Just seeking your opinion.

 * A Monitor-like group sounds quite fair; administrators + some of the community members. However, to ensure lack of community bias in these FOTM votes, I'd have to insist that non-administrators invited to the group would have to be chosen by administrator or internal vote, not community vote.

As per administrator concensus the FOTM project as been reactivated, and there is only one award as per our decision -- Fanon on the Month, decided upon solely by the administration. It is requested you immediately read the rules at FOTM and the Nominations and vote immediately at the Voting page. I plan to close this vote and make that FOTM winner the one for December '07 and then immediately open up a few vote for January '08.

As always, comments, concerns, and bullets in the face appreciated.

Multiple Account User
The Jakester has likely created a duplicate account. A user by the name of Matthew Turkey created the article M65G Tortoise Amphibias Troop Carrier, in the same style as the Jakester, which was then edited by the Jakester. The Jakester then created an identical article, M65G Tortoise Amphibias Troop Transport Vehicle (He added troop to the name), and changed nothing, even leaving it saying that Matthew Turkey had created it. It is also quite possible that the Parkster, who had been banned but it was lifted today or yesterday, may be these two as well, since he has defended the Jakester, and the Jakester played rather innocent and defensive when Spartan G-23 mentioned the Parkster. This matter should be looked into quickly. I have notified several other admins, so this matter may already be taken care of when you read it.

Yeah, someobdy already told me about this on IRC, I'd be playing some 'angry merc' or something along those lines. I feel stereotyped...I might consider doing this however if you can get a capture of the whole concept art gallery off the Halo 3 special features disk.

Regarding my block on Halopedia...
$$Insert formula here$$

Sorry for bringing this here, but CommanderTony blocked my on halopedia for posting a blog about my story here. I didn't know that we couldn't do that and I aplogise for that. If you would consider unblocking me, here is my numbers and such.

IP address is 71.224.38.100, and the block ID is #13668

Sorry for the inconvienence.

Future RP
Just a little something AR and I pulled up. Its will be active after the Necros War thingy...

Do you think you can get those image captures I asked for before the 10th? I'll need 'em by then ;]

Hi!

Also rate it to my talk page(go and see how). Thanks for your time,admin!

I got that silly autoblock ting on Halopedia... This is the exact message I got.

"The block was made by Dragonclaws. The reason given is Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "Mountdew072". The reason given for Mountdew072's block is: "poll violations". You can contact Dragonclaws or another administrator to discuss the block. You cannot use the 'email this user' feature unless a valid email address is specified in your account preferences. Your current IP address is 10.8.2.71, and the block ID is #22992. Please include either or both of these in any queries. ""

- I looked over my polls, and I don't see anything wrong with them.. :P

I would appreciate the problem being resolved at your earliest convenience. Ghost sangheili


 * If you're not associated with Mountdew072, there's no need to check your polls at all. I believe HaloDude already unbanned that guy, though, so it should work for you unless it thinks you're some other banned guy now. --<font color="#4D56B1">Dragon<font color="#F28500">c laws (<font color="#4D56B1">talk ) 17:34, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Problem is that, even though HaloDude unbanned Mountdew072, the same Ban Message appears in the same form. Check the image that I've sent to you in Halopedia. Maybe remove the autoblock thingy? <font color="#0000FF"><tt>Little</tt> <font color="#0090FF"><tt>_</tt> <font color="#7DF9FF"><tt>Missy</tt> - [[Image:Cortana Gif.gif|24px]] 17:39, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I was told by another admin that I can't be unbanned until wikia figures out how to, and implement the proper solution, be unbanned. This doesn't inspire confidence. At all. Is this true? If not, what is a suggestion for something I can do to help myself? w:c:halo:User:Ghost sangheili

Halopedia Ban Chaos

Your Articles
I found nothin' wrong with them dude. They may be a little strange to some, but as for the Bloodmating article -- toatally plausible, and with the Preacher -- I found it to be hilarious, but an otherwise accurate portrayal of how people go crazy in religion. For some reason, I could toatally see my mom doing that (Running out of a church at a pack of Brutes saying: "JESUS WILL SAVE YOU!". -- <font color="Red">Sgt. <font color="Red">johnson <font color="White"><The Psycho> <font color="Red"><The General> <The SPARTAN> 02:36, 22 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I mainly removed the "controversies" list from my userpage because I felt that its presence was a bit unfriendly these days. I didn't make the articles out of a desire to be controversial or to challenge taboos, but rather as an expression of artistic creativity. That they were taken as offensive was unintentional and following that, I wanted to challenge common notions by posting the controversies in a list on my page. It's been a while now, though, and my annoyance has faded, so I thought it was probably for the best to get rid of it at this point. Thanks for your support, though. --<font color="#4D56B1">Dragon<font color="#F28500">c laws (<font color="#4D56B1">talk ) 07:24, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Email for your immediate attention (RE: Halo Fanon:First Annual Halo Fan Fiction Wikia Awards}
Dear Administrator Dragonclaws,

I have recently sent out an email to your email account regarding the Halo Fanon:First Annual Halo Fan Fiction Wikia Awards. Please see it immediately and confirm or propose changes to the current rules and categories. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention. :)

Warm regards,

Request
Please, Dragonclaws, can you read some of my Fanon and tell me if it is any good? Or at least give me some tips or constructive criticism? I know you're really busy being an admin, but isn't the best leader a leader who associates and socializes with and helps the community?

Gruntipedia Articles
Hey, I'm Meat and Taters. I was just wondering, can I use funny fanon articles from gruntipedia and post them here too?

Meat & Taters...Meat and Taters 00:29, 13 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Not really. Halo Fanon is for serious material that stays true to Halo, while Gruntipedia is more of a parody. --<font color="#4D56B1">Dragon<font color="#F28500">c laws (<font color="#4D56B1">talk ) 00:55, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Project With Aj
Hey i was wondering you would be starting that?


 * I'm not sure. It's just something we were talking about in IM. We were last discussing the McGuffin and we were going to figure out rules and stuff. So, it's still in the planning stages I guess. --<font color="#4D56B1">Dragon<font color="#F28500">c laws (<font color="#4D56B1">talk ) 20:46, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

World War Three Announcement
My WW3 story will be kicking off soon. You said I could use you as one of the characters earlier, so would you please go to the WW3 page and give your character a name, rank and faction please? Note the following about ranks:
 * The GLA, Golden Dragon, and Ten Rings do not use true ranks
 * The UN, Jungle Spirits, China, Russians and LACA use the same ranks as current US ranks. (if the Chinese and/or Russians use different ranks, please inform me of this)
 * The Nazis use the same ranks as they did in WW2 (somebody please inform me of these, as I've little to no knowledge of them exactly)
 * New Islamic Empire ranks will be made shortly.

IRC
Leaving this on a few of the administrators page, seeing as Ajax is being stubborn about it.

I was banned three days ago on IRC for 'spamming' without a single warning or prior kick, and still am not unbanned. Log is here, all I did was respond to him making fun of me by saying the word 'kay. Subtank has already unbanned me, but he reinstated the ban with no real explanation and has yet to tell me when I can access the channel again.

Totally Lost...
I'm afraid that, as a new member of HaloFanon and wikia in general, I am faced with a problem that no seasoned roleplayer should ever want to face...

I have no clue what to do!

I've spent years on forums, but when I joined this site, I immediately realized that things don't work quite like that. I've read a few beginner's guides on this site, but I still have no idea where to start.

Could you give me any suggestions?

''Oh, Death was never enemy of ours! We laughed at him, we leagued with him, old chum. No soldier's paid to kick against His powers. We laughed, -knowing that better men would come, And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags He wars on Death, for lives, not men for flags''. ~GunnerXtremis


 * Well, you can make articles related to Halo fanfiction, such as profiles of characters, weapons, battles, or actual fanfic novels. You can look around the Fanon of the Month and Annual Halo Fan Fiction Wikia Awards (2009, and 2008) to see some good examples. --<font color="#4D56B1">Dragon<font color="#F28500">c laws (<font color="#4D56B1">talk ) 07:07, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

 * Sure. Lately, I've been using the model of the Sangheili terrorist from back when we were doing the Common Denominator machinima. That's a Combat Harness, with primary and secondary colors of violet, detail of rubine, and a violet triangle with Valkyrie sword emblem meant to be hidden. I thought it looked cool, so it's what I've been playing with. --<font color="#4D56B1">Dragon<font color="#F28500">c laws (<font color="#4D56B1">talk ) 06:09, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

 * I don't use Spartan model, though. If I did, though, I guess I'd use the samurai armor. Not sure which colors I'd use... Steel with violet? --<font color="#4D56B1">Dragon<font color="#F28500">c laws (<font color="#4D56B1">talk ) 15:20, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

Invitation to Infected
Hope to see you join in the coming days!

Rawr,

Re: Common Denominator (Remix)!
Dear Dragonclaws,

Wonderful job on your beautiful remix of Common Denominator; as I was reading through your recent work, I truly did feel like I was re-living the good old days; just two years ago! It was really beautiful and I'm extraordinary glad that you've remade it with your own touches. Those were great times. Let's keep in touch, my friend!

Best regards, Kyle p.s. -- I was ultra-frustrated because I kept on trying to look up those lyrics to the song that had replaced the hard rock for the Mongoose ride around Sandtrap ... then after many frustrated attempts I re-read the footnote and realized that it was fictional =P Good job, though! It was very believable.

Do the .wav!
Hello. I've been trying to upload some sound files to this wiki lately, but the upload sector here does not accept .wav. Subs tells me that .ogg sound files are still uploadable, and that you tend to use that file type a lot, so I wanted to know if you knew any way to convert a .wav sound file into an .ogg file type. Would you happen to know any way to do this? Thanks. Tuckerscreator (<font color="#008000">stalk ) 20:24, October 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Download Audacity. Load the file and select the "export as OGG" option. --<font color="#4D56B1">Dragon<font color="#F28500">c laws (<font color="#4D56B1">talk ) 21:09, October 14, 2010 (UTC)

A Little Feedback?

Precursors
According to older canon, the Precursor were a transentient race that saw the Forerunner as their inheritors and were honoured by the Forerunner. As far as I've heard, Halo: Cryptum states that the Forerunner and Precursor were enemies in a large war. If I were to create fiction about the precursors, would I be allowed to ignore Halo: Cryptum and go with the traditional canon? 210  Liquid   Ink  05:13, January 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm honestly not sure. We have rules against that kind of thing, but they're bent or flat out ignored a lot. I think that it should be okay with a notice of working off of earlier canon, which becomes increasingly necessary as the corners of the canon map get filled in. You might want to run it by another admin, though. --<font color="#4D56B1">Dragon<font color="#F28500">c laws (<font color="#4D56B1">talk ) 09:48, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

Hello,

I am a new user who is just beginning to create a fanon. However, I have two notices,("Don't they teach you kids how to swear in basic anymore?" and "Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, you have been found guilty, with the penalty of Death.") on my pages, and though I have corrected everything that has been mentioned on the talk page, none of these have been removed. Would you mind letting me know where I can go to have these taken off?? Thanks in advance, Jd2208 17:40, December 13, 2011 (UTC)
