List of official Halo series media[edit]

I'd like to get this up to WP:FL standard so please be brutal. James086Talk | Email 12:24, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have too much experience with this type of list, but here are some thoughts:
  • The lead needs work. It doesn't flow well and contains some grammatical errors.
  • The "Date in-universe" column would be better as "In-universe date", and needs en dashes for date ranges instead of hyphens. I'm not sure about this column, though. I think the list might be better without it.
    • I've changed the title of the column and the hyphens to – I will wait and see what others think before removing the column, but if it is decided that it's not appropriate then it can go. James086Talk | Email 02:40, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why is Halo PC listed instead of Halo: Combat Evolved? Halo PC is not its title, correct?
    • Good point, I changed it to "Halo: Combat Evolved (PC port)" and I corrected the name of Halo 2 PC aswell. James086Talk | Email 02:40, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • Rather than say "PC game", you should specify the actual platform (Windows 95, etc.) Pagrashtak 16:22, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think you want to say "Currently in development hell". Rephrase in plain English.
    I see you've explained it, but I would avoid the phrase altogether. Pagrashtak 16:22, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • The description "Ostensibly a beekeeper's personal site, the server appeared to have been taken over by an unstable A.I." is too in-universe.
    The rewording is still in-universe. Pagrashtak 16:22, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think you might find that lists are very boring to read. I hope that you will realize that actual text is more fun and engaging to read...Historybuffc13 (talk) 01:56, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

However, Wikipedia does have lists and that is unlikely to change. See Wikipedia:Lists and Wikipedia:Featured lists. Do you have a comment to help improve the list? Pagrashtak 06:03, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
