Spartan Capitalization
I just checked the novels the bungie website, and the game manuals for halo. In almost all formats, Spartan is written as such, with only the S capitalized. The full capitalization SPARTAN is only used as a military title/serial such as SPARTAN-458 and SPARTAN-117 and sometimes in the phrase SPARTAN-II program-- Oni Ookami AlfadorTalk 02:07, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Alternate Explanation for Japanese Victory Taunts
One of her hobbies is watching anime, so maybe she picked up a few phrases. In The Haunted Apiary (ILB), Kamal's sister Yasmine(who later became involved with the Spartan II project) picked up foreign languages quickly. - vlad3163 31 August 2006


 * This is a good explanation, but it's an often-used explanation for how otaku can learn japanese. Being a military Spartan who's been trained since birth, the other explanation holds more water.
 * What other explanation? Kidcorona 16:14, 21 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Not that I'm in disagreement, but still... TerminusEst13 15:50, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Height and Weight
How can she be 6 foot 8 wthout armour? The in-game model doesn't reflect this listed height either, she would have to be quite a bit taller than Bass and she isn't. And also this profile says that without armour she is heavier than Hulk Hogan in his prime by 100 pounds (Hulkster is also 6 foot 8 and this female is even heavier). Is this a mistake by a Wiki user or have Team Ninja/Bungie got it wrong in her profile? If it is correct she is the tallest female character ever and as fat as a hippo. Did I forget to take into account her lead bones and mercury blood? Mr.bonus 20:01, 5 September 2006 (UTC)


 * She's a genetically enhanced cyborg, which means she's at least partly robotic. Even without her armour, those metal parts are still heavy. - Arnizipal 20:32, 11 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Possible spoilers for story line - Part of the process the Spartan-IIs went through before they got their armor was to have a metallic substance grafted onto most of their bones. Combine this with the increased muscle mass and they can be quite heavy. It's been awhile since I read the books, but I think that with armor they weigh half a ton.205.188.116.9 21:33, 1 November 2006 (UTC)


 * She does not have robotic parts other than a neural link up for her armor. She has had Carbide Ceramic grafted to her bones and her muscle tissue density increased, which accounts for her weight, and growth hormones to increase the size of her muscles and the overall dimensions of her bones.

Canon
She isnt considered Halo canon. Plus SPARTANs are biochemically augemented --UNSC AI 21:16, 19 April 2007 (UTC)


 * How does this relate to anything of great significance Kidcorona 16:14, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

NICOLE-458 appears in this fan video: add to trivia section?
Haloid is a fan video by Monty Oum, featuring Nicole. While not explicitly stated, read Monty Oum's comment: "If you look closely you can actually see the number 458 on the "Master Chick's" suit. 458 being the number of the Spartan that made a Cameo in the Dead or Alive series." Therefore, presuming this fan video garners enough attention to be considered notable (which it may do in the short-term future), I recommend this fact be noted in the Trivia section of the article.

 * Few things: 1. Why couldn't you do? 2. It's a fan video, thus it isn't cannon, and doesn't merit a mention. 3. It was already noted and removed. Kidcorona 16:14, 21 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Removed this again. Kidcorona is right, its fancruft at most, hardly notable and is cannon to neither Halo nor Dead or Alive so it holds no significance to Nicole's character.  Also, in case people haven't noticed, trivia is becoming more and more highly discouraged in wikipedia.  All trivia information that is notable and relevant to an article is urged to be worked into the other sections of the article (this does not fall into that category) and the rest removed entirely.--  Oni Ookami Alfador Talk 23:26, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Followup: the video's own article has been deleted due to lack of notability.  Problem solved.--  Oni Ookami Alfador Talk 05:48, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

History section
As pointed out to me by Caribbean H.Q., the History section is liften almost entirely verbatim from. As such, it was a copyright violation, so I've blanked that section for now until it can be rewritten in contributors' own words. — TKD:: Talk  04:27, 13 October 2007 (UTC)


 * This issue was resolved by rewritting the entire section (and most of the article was rewritten regardless of its content being in line with policy). -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  04:53, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Passing GA
I gave the article a look and there seem to be no flaws in it. References and organization all appear to be in order and there are no major omissions. I'm passing as GA. - Lenin and McCarthy 01:06 October 29, 2007 (UTC)

Infobox
The info box is full of uncited information that I doubt is true. If anyone knows the correct content, please add it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.107.101.18 (talk) 13:48, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
