So yea, any edits, at least leave some info about the edit, don't just randomly delete things--DanteThePoet 02:45, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Yea, it is supposed to be spelled Se7en, leave it that way, and anyone tempted to vandalize this after the Bungie.net mention is a jackass. I'll just flip it back to before your edit, so don't waste my time and yours--DanteThePoet 19:07, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


Contents

[edit] Media References

One thing that would really help this page survive until more substantial content can be added would be if we could get more references to occsions when HBO was mentioned by (relatively) major media outlets- not just by name, the mention has to be substantial. I included the Cybex strategy guide as a starter. I know the entry isn't the highest quality yet, but it gets the idea across. This page could use a few more entries like that.

Ok that works, I can't find the link of Wu's interview on video game violence. That should be added to the Media References section too, I thought I had that in here actually--DanteThePoet 04:08, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm... I also wanna throw a couple ideas up. For one, I added the Yellow Banshee, which everyone needs to learn/know about. And I'm moving the first paragraph to the top. In addition to eliminating the double headline (Halo.bungie.org right below itself because of the banner), it'll also provide an intro paragraph before the article, which I personally think looks nice. Opinions? Gspawn 19:36, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Er, actually, I can't find a good fix for that... Other than potentially removing the banner, which I don't really wanna do... ? Gspawn 19:44, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
I like that set up, I didn't think to move the content box. The yellow banshee is a good idea to add in there I think, if you find a way that looks cool, go ahead and add it, I have no ideas at 4 am--DanteThePoet 09:00, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Should I add anything on the Halo Story Page or Movie Cynics, or will that be nnecessary? UrsusArctos 24 April 2006

[edit] Major rewrite

Three tags on top of this page? Why doesn't someone clean things up?

*crickets*

Well, all right.

First of all, I revised wording pretty much everywhere. In general I aimed for short, dense sentences, with only a few phrases, rather than long, sprawling ones, such as this one. I also removed value judgments: "The community involved in HBO is large" is not exactly useful information, nor is it verifiable. Finally, I changed "<size> as of <date>" to "over <size>", which reads much better and is still accurate.

In addition, I removed a fair bit of what I thought was extraneous information. What the top two movies on MPRRS are isn't really important to the article, especially since the system is flawed. ("Warthog Jump" might be worth mentioning, though.) A lot of the One One Se7en information was unneeded as well. Finally, I cut the Fan Fiction and IRC sections altogether; they are mentioned earlier, and nothing in those sections was actually note-worthy enough to keep. If someone wants to find enough real information, you would be entirely justified in restoring either of them.

The only significant content I added was the section detailing Bungie's involvement with the site.

Somewhat unrelated to my edit: I have always thought of HBO as halo.bungie.org, that is, all lowercase. The page's title and opening line have it as Halo.Bungie.Org. My thought, incomplete though is may be, is that the phrase is a reference to the web address, not a title in and of itself, and thus should follow convention for web addresses. I am open to debate, however.

Well, the two top videos on the MPRRS were submitted before the system was compromised. --Jim Raynor 19:38, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
The site's own About page calls it halo.bungie.org, as does the copyright notice at the bottom of every page. --DocumentN (talk) 04:31, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] One One Se7en

Has Bungie ever acknowledged One One Se7en officially at all? Something like offering a One One Se7en player icon or theme/skin, or including a strip or piece of art on one of the extras CDs or something? --DocumentN (talk) 00:44, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
