Halo 3 Characters
Hi and welcome. I'm glad I didn't put you off Wikipedia. I removed the content about the characters you added because it's not really encyclopedic. The article is about the game, not so much the characters. There is a separate article Characters in the Halo series for the main characters and for the species encountered in the game there is Covenant (Halo). In my edit summary I said that the info was too "crufty", which is basically info which to a fan of the series (such as myself) is useful but not in an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia aims to provide articles which are informative to the average person, not the specialist (see WP:CRUFT for more info). A point for writing about Halo, or any story, it should be "out of universe", The article should concentrate as much as possible on the real world impact of the game rather than the detailed storyline. The manual of style says that here. Don't try to read the whole manual of style, or all the policies of Wikipedia, there's way too much. Rather, look up a policy as you need it and ask questions. It works so much better and that way you don't get swamped with info. Don't worry about making mistakes, everyone does and it's very easy to undo things on Wikipedia with article histories. Also if you like Halo you might want to take a look at the Halo WikiProject. It allows us to discuss all of the Halo articles in one place. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
