User talk:SpartHawg948

Welcome to the Wiki, we have a lot of work to do before the release. I saw your post on the Citadel Council and I changed a spelling error for Specter>Spectre just so you know and I'm glad you are taking up the Council as your pet project. As you will be reading up on the Citadel a lot could you also do that article as well just so there is no confusion. I am currently working on the creation of new articles mainly form the Wanted Pages. If you want me to do anything just send me a message in my talk page. Good work so far.

About Admin
Well Kirkburn is the only admin but he has offered to make me one so if I am 'promoted' then I will make you one too. And thanks for taking the article. Bioevil087 13:47, 8 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok I have made you an Admin or sysop as they are called. I think it should just be us for the time being until we get a few more people. Check here http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Administrators%27_how-to_guide if you need help. I say we focus on the front page, new pages and filling out those articles that are small.

Did you start this wika
hi did you start this wiki 67.77.123.132 02:28, 6 September 2008 (UTC)Troy 027


 * Unfortunately, I cannot claim credit for starting this wiki. I did come on at a very early stage (I was the second person to be made an admin and to make any major contributions) but I didn't start the site.SpartHawg948 03:25, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

ME2 pages
Can you do me a favour for the next couple of days and keep an eye on the ME2 pages? I'm spoiler-dodging. :( (Unless you are too.) --Tullis 04:50, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Roger copy. SpartHawg948 06:01, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I don't want to read those pages but I don't want to let them fall into disrepair either. I really appreciate this. : ) --Tullis 19:58, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't mention it. I'm happy to help. :)SpartHawg948 04:44, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Complaints & Bugs page
The Complaints & Bugs page has been bugging me for a while but I'm not sure what to do with it. It either needs a massive overhaul, where we finally tidy it up, kill the signed edits and put "answers" to complaints so they're more visible, or... huh. I'm still not convinced it's a legit page; glitches and bugs, yes, but the complaints still seem forum-worthy rather than belonging in a dedicated article. We already have a page for Glitches, so maybe a merge and a clampdown is in order. Thoughts? --Tullis 13:04, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Cleanup
As part of the general cleanup I've been going through and deleting some of our apparently unnecessary short pages, mostly pages that are little more than a splitting-out of existing material (for example, the Rannadril page, the Sakharov Station page etc.) Some pages, like the Second Fleet page, easily lend themselves to a merge, but I don't want to be too rigorous and prune the wiki too far. Can you take a look at the short pages list and see if any pages leap out at you as good targets for merge or straight deletion? --Tullis 01:31, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

ME2 characters
What was wrong with listing them? The first three have they're own articles and have been confirmed to be squadmates, and the latter three, while as yet unnamed, have also been confirmed to be acquirable as well. The squadmates were put under the generalized "Major characters" heading because I thought it more efficient than having a section with only the Illusive Man and then another section with the squadmates. Squadmate characters were important in the first game, after all, so it shouldn't have made a difference. The latter three characters were sourced: the convict and scientist are pointed out on the official website, and the geth is specifically mentioned in the article I provided. Furthermore, the old section about squadmates that you restored isn't actually sourced (there is no source for the quarian, and the link at the end is just the recent developer video). Can we come to a compromise on how characters and squadmates are listed? -- Commdor (Talk) 20:26, 18 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Well... the Illusive Man, Jacob, and Miranda were all already mentioned in the article, as was the quarian. So I don't really see a need for a separate section, as it was okay the way it was. Also, on the page you cited as a source for the salarian scientist, I see no mention that they will be a squadmate, just that you will rescue them. There is a big difference, which is why I played the speculation card, as the sourcing did not say what you alleged it to say. The quarian appearing w/ Shepard in the video is sourced, while it doesn't explicitly state the quarian is a squad member, there is more supporting evidence in the video there was for the salarian. Lastly, I would like to reiterate that there was no need for a separate section. The layout I reverted to was fine. Properly Sourced materials can be inserted into that, as it was for Thane. I hope this answers your questions. SpartHawg948 23:53, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. Heliossoileh 02:09, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I suppose the current layout is fine, I was attempting to organize everything by relative importance to the game so it stands out. I'm probably thinking too much that is is exactly like Wikipedia, when I need to remember that this wiki and WP are only similar. Oddly, WP would appear to have laxer sourcing standards than here. Sorry for the confusion. -- Commdor (Talk) 19:10, 20 July 2009 (UTC)


 * No probalo! Always happy to answer questions. And yes (puffs out chest and juts chin) we do pride ourselves on our sourcing standards around here. Nothing but the best for the best gaming wiki ever! SpartHawg948 19:38, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

There seems to be little to edit here so i think i'll be leaving everything alone unless its a grammar error i wish i could've helped on Rex he is so awesome. and i left my reply on my talk pageDerekproxy 20:08, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Tanks for the talk
I'm all for agreeing to disagree. Yes and I admit those tanks could take the Tigers but they never actually really fought them on equal terms but the others like the Cruiser Mk II whywere they burning with the Panzer3s driving by. I never said the M1 was a less safe tank in fact I meet a commander of one that survived a direct T72 125mm direct point blank shot. As for tigers they we're over engineered and out of fuel and airsupport played massive roles for the allies the battle of the bulge would have been worse if the airborne didn't air support when it did and as for the M1 the weakness is the same as the strenght why attack the tanks when you take out the fuel trucks which are constantly around and easy prey (i wanted to be Force recon level 5 and do special op raids) as for the M1 its faster then any Leo2 but the A6 varient however take into acount it needs to fill up less often then the M1 hell every tank in the world that used gas turbines have been modified for desiel. like the M16 when HK made the G36 and its less finiky gas cartrige. as for the tankers you've talked to there are guys who wished the damned thing didn't eat four gallons on start up i don't know what you think of the M16/M4 but I think anything that needs to be cleaned after three clips is garbage. The IS-2/3 were able to stand "toe to toe" with the Tiger 2 but they never saw full on action plus the red army ran stompt out every german tank by just ramming it with a T-34 by the time they hit berlin they had no supplies to return home thats why the russians stripped eastern europe. All I'm saying is we are the only nation that no other could take but I'm more concerned about the chinese and muslums hell we only have 141 and Obama cut their production how can we win a war against either if we still use equipment that are about 40 years minus the M1 M2 and the Stryker. on the last one be glad my friend Stone isn't here to talk about how glourious it is. well I just hope I can help I mean you made this one and a group of FEAR fans made http://fear.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page I should focus on Kill Zone so I won't be around it was nice to have a civil "dibate" I haven't had anything like this for sometime if I drank i'd buy you a beer.Derekproxy 19:07, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Ok I under stan but....
ok i get the who speculation thing but i put "possibly".

Thanks
Thanks man. Appriciate it.-Matt xMan


 * Not a problem, always happy to help! SpartHawg948 08:41, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

bureaucrat
Is there no Bereaucats on this wiki or only admins?--LoneMerc101 20:13, 23 July 2009 (UTC)


 * There is a bureaucrat and also a helper, but they only pop in from time to time. They generally leave the site in the capable hands of the admin team. SpartHawg948 07:23, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

ME2 New and Returning features help
I have been adding an edit to the ME2 New and Returning section as to the names of the downloadable items and what you get and how to get them, an IP only user keeps undoing my changes instead of talking about it on the talk page where I did put up a section to debate validity as one of the items was named in a parody video by BioWare making fun of the Prestige Modern Warfare 2 they are being irrational. I took it as fact for the name as most of the items listed are in the Collector's Edition of the game and it is known for pre-ordering you get a DLC Armor and for getting the Collector's Edition there is access to another piece of DLC. (Which is why I reserved it.) But the problem comes in that this nameless user has also decided to edit the wiki to slander me in a way for making the edits that they don't agree with, if you check the versions you can see how. I figured it would be best to ask someone to take a look at the information and make some sort of judgment call and perhaps do something about this person who can't act in a reasonable manner to an open site for free editing and information. Please take a look.--Xaero Dumort 03:33, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Downloadable Content
Misunderstand I did, my apologies. I thought it was a general DLC page for DLC linked to the series.--Xaero Dumort 21:07, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It is, which is why I removed the Dragon Wars armor from ME2. We don't know whether this will be DLC, part of a pre-packaged limited edition, or if it will even make it into the game (as a lot can change in 6 months). Once ME2 comes out, if this is in fact DLC and not part of some Limited Edition, we can include it. SpartHawg948 21:39, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd label that "bonus content". There's not really been enough of it yet to justify an entire page on it; maybe a section on the ME2 page would suffice for now? (Unless there's already one there. : ) ) Also, I think the armour is called "Blood Dragon Armour", not "Dragon Wars Armour", though these might be different translations of the same thing. --Tullis 21:56, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Cool beans, gotcha.--Xaero Dumort 02:49, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I just couldn't remember the name and didn't want to look it up, so, Dragon Wars armor it was! SpartHawg948 10:42, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Love Child in ME 2?
Hey speaking from of a Mass Effect fan I keep hearing these rumors of of love child between Sherperd and his/her love intrest in the last one. Almost everywhere I see on the web and some of websites which I'm not sure if there accurate or not they keep saying that Shepard may have a kid. I kind of believe it since for one thing you and your love intrests have sex and Mass Effect 2 is supposed to be taking place two years after the first one and it only takes a little for female to become pregnant and give birth. You get what I'm saying right? Do you think that Shepard could get a kid in the next game?--Matt xMan 21:52, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * While I think it is a legitimate idea, I don't think it is something that will be implemented and only time will tell if it is true. I think it is a major issue for a limelight soldier to risk having a kid ya know?--Xaero Dumort 02:51, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Right off the bat, gonna have to say, I doubt it. Logistically it seems like kind of a nightmare, and I don't really see it fitting into the plot. There may be mention of a child, but I doubt that any hypothetical child will make an appearance. SpartHawg948 10:45, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Help Once Again...
Ok mabey not neccesarly help, but for the new article Afterlife Club there's a picture of it and I'm trying to download it to the article but either the website is messed up or my pc is crappy I can't add the image to it. I was wondering if you do it for me. Here's the link to the wallpaper:  Thanks man.--Matt xMan 02:56, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, pics are not my strong suit. Also, given that this appears to be concept art, I'm pretty sure it's not gonna fly on the site. I defer to Tullis on all things pictorial, but I don't think a concept drawing is up to snuff for an article. SpartHawg948 11:34, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Carying Files...
I've been thinking. Well, I know that ME 2 will cary over the files from the last one but what if it doesn't get it all right. I think it might be obvious they'll mention alot of the important stuff from the last but well... Lets say for example you let the Councle die in the last game and the next one they're still living. You get what I'm saying, right? Basicly I'm saying is that what if the files might screw things up?-Matt xMan 04:15, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It won't be screwed up. They have accounted for every little detail.--Xaero Dumort 05:26, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, from what I'm hearing I seriously doubt continuity issues of the sort you are describing will occur. SpartHawg948 07:09, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Helium-3
I want to say- I find the info you are adding about Helium-3 interesting, however, it does not need to be included on the pages of every world w/ Helium-3. In fact, it doesn't even really need to be on any of them. As it is an ME specific topic, I would be fine with a separate page for Helium-3, provided that it still focus primarily on the in-game features (mining and facilities, applications, etc) and doesn't become primarily a discussion of contemporary scientific research in the field. SpartHawg948 21:01, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I proposed something similar for arcologies - a page that mentions what they are, and then lists planets they are present on, like Earth, Feros, and Junthor. But that wasn't accepted, so I just assumed that a page on helium-3 mining, listing planets, wouldn't either.  But I would be pleased to help, if you wanna create it. Shell Kracker 21:08, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, that is because arcologies are mentioned in about 2 sentences in the entire game. However, Helium-3 is very frequently mentioned in the game, and is a key element in society. So long as it is kept relatively on-topic and doesn't get bogged down in RL debates and discussions, I do not see a problem. It is certainly neater and, for lack of a better term, "prettier" than a big factoid at the bottom of every planet that has anything to do w/ helium-3, most of which have no real relevance and justification. Also, DO NOT make edits to my user page. That is my personal page. If you have a comment for me, use my talk page, as I am using yours. I do you the courtesy of not posting my thoughts and comments on your personal page, please show me the same respect. SpartHawg948 21:18, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that edit, it was an honest mistake from doing two things at once, rather than something deliberate - I clicked your user edit page instead of talk one. As far as I am aware, I have never shown you anything less than respect.  The helium-3 artcle sounds good to me - its about as important to the galactic community as element zero from the sounds of things - maybe they could both be added to the minerals page, since it discusses other resources. Shell Kracker 21:29, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

ME fanfiction wiki
Hello SpartHawg948, I am Kamikaz, the administrator of the Mass Effect Fan Fiction Wiki. I took a look at some of your contributions to this wiki and I was just wondering if you would like to come to the fan fiction wiki and help with some contributions there too. Think about it.--Kamikaz 02:02, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

RE: RE: Mass Effect fanfiction wiki
Any help at all whether it be adding articles, making a banner for the homepage, or helping to clean up some of the junk articles. Im really looking for people who I think I can trust and make administrators.--Kamikaz 05:30, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

This is hilarious.
Every single item in your tongue-in-cheek section is because of/related to me. :P I'm so flattered...*sniff-sniff*

 * Well, it is just a section on what's on my mind at the moment, and lately that has turned into a what's bugging me in the world of wiki. And in all fairness, the bit about sourcing is about 3 individuals, which is why it's there. One occurance of someone sourcing an item w/ a source that doesn't say anything of the sort is fine, but 3 people doing the same thing over the course of a week? Before this one it was a rant about people using discredited sources but not mentioning that the source was no longer valid, just hoping no one would call them on it. Give it a couple days, I'm sure it'll change. SpartHawg948 20:23, September 4, 2009 (UTC)
