Image seems incorrect.[edit]

I have this book, and the image is radically different. Anyone know where the current image comes from?

Yeah, that's not the cover unless it's an international version which I don't know of. --81.109.165.33 09:10, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Found it after a bit of looking. The black box with white lettering on the cover says for soliciatation only final art to come. I'll see if I can upload the correct version. Grey Shadow 09:35, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's the right image! I would have scanned my book's cover, but it's well worn, and has all sorts of scuffs.

Agreed. I have the book and that is the image for this production line. Do not change it, as it is right. Shadow Blade 06:40, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

i have this book too and its right for my copy what does the other cover look like?

shouldn't we expand the plot details?

Yayap[edit]

Why is is the page redirected from Yayap??? HaLoGuY007 12:48, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Yayap article was deleted. Peptuck 16:08, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thanks. HaLoGuY007 01:08, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy[edit]

I've removed the "Controversy" section recently added, as it appeared to have nothing but POV and opinions, and was unsourced. I've certainly never heard of any of this. Peptuck 22:54, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Halo: The Flood/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
In the Plot, second paragraph, "However Cortana realizes that the ring is not a weapon as they understood at all- but before the Chief can press her with questions", a comma should be between However and Cortana.

B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
In the Plot, it would be best if "343 Guilty Spark" were linked once, per here.
Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:

B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):

C. It contains no original research:

D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
Is it broad in its coverage?
A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:

B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
Is it neutral?
It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
Is it stable?
It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:

B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
Overall:
Pass or Fail:
If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

I took two seconds to fix the problems. Goodness David, not too shabby. Black ngold29 16:27, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you to Blackngold for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:53, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
