" I noticed a few pages have names that should be changed, such as "Missle Pod" which is just plain spelled incorrectly, and "Carbine" which should really be called "Covenant Carbine" because that's a more specific name, plus they call it that in Halo 2. I tried to put in my comment to the Moderator that it should be changed but I don't know if they'll get that message and be able to do anything about it. If someone could help me out that would be awesome."

you can thank spikedelight for that one :)

Hey everybody. I found a few misspelled pages in my travels. Here's the ones I can remember:

  • Missle Pod (Should be changed to Missile Pod)
  • Plasma Rifle. (Has a period at the end and should be changed to Plasma Rifle)
  • Carbine (Isn't misspelled but since it's referring to the Halo 3 weapon and would be confused with the class of real-life weapon it should be changed to Covenant Carbine, since that's what they call it in Halo 2 anyway)

Thanks so much pyromaniac and daniel for making this happen (and so fast, too!) I'll be sure to update this page with more when I find them.

Oh, it seems that you had changed those pages before I could type them and press Submit. But there's still one that I hadn't posted in the other thread:

  • Plasma Rifle. (Has a period at the end and should be changed to Plasma Rifle)

Cheers!

"Go Go Break Steady" should be be "Go! Go! Break Steady."  That was actually my screw up, so it would be nice to see it fixed.

Here's another Halo 3 related one:
  • Fragmentation Grenade should either have its name changed to "M9 Fragmentation Grenade" so as to show that the page is dedicated to the Halo 3 weapon (as it clearly is) or should be expanded to include all types of Frag Grenades, not just UNSC ones.

NBA Jam 2000 needs to be properly capitalized
http://www.giantbomb.com/nba-jam-2000/61-22242/

also I don't know if this applies to complete name changes, but AKI Corporation is now known as syn Sophia, Inc.
http://www.giantbomb.com/aki-corporation/65-707/

I made a thread about that so if it doesn't apply here, you'll get to it eventually.

General Raam should be changed to General RAAM since that's how they spell it in the game, strategy guide, etc.

Ratchet and Clank Future: Quest for Booty should technically be changed to Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty. The series has always been officially spelled with an "&". Every other game in the series is spelled with an "&" on Giant Bomb as well, so the change would make for better consistency.

How about this:

The Takahashi Meijin page states that Takahashi Meijin is his full name when in fact his full name is Toshiyuki Takahashi, while Takahashi Meijin is just his nick name.

Is this just a minor thing or should his full name be added elsewhere ( just wondering in case you guys have to remake the entire page or something ).

Why should Fragmentation Grenade be limited to Halo? If it's left as an article for frag grenades in any game, I could come up with an article that's not specific to any particular game.

Well the page M9 Fragmentation Grenade is now specific to Halo games, but if you made a page called just Frag Grenade or Fragmentation Grenade you could make it about the regular kind.

Fragmentation grenade kind of seems in the territory of a regular grenade, which we already have a page of. I would just say delete the halo grenade page and link it to regular grenade page.

No because that's like saying you should delete the page for MA5C Assault Rifle and link it to a normal 2008 Assault Rifle's page. I don't think they should be merged.

I am going to have to agree with Spike, we need to have a certain amount of...diversity.

Diversity comes to me in articles, not pages. But this is all up for debate, and everyone has an opinion.

Well if the "concept" grass and Dildo deserve their own page we might as well throw in a page for this.

Back on track here, the page for Covenant Loyalists has a period after it and that should be removed from the page's name.
