The physical appearance of Precursors has been stated in Cryptum. ~HyperZergling 04:52, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
Well, i have not found a good enough photo to match those characteristics so i'm keeping this until i can find a better picture. --LoyalHaloFan 04:56, August 6, 2011 (UTC)LoyalHaloFan
I even think that Spartan-118 is fine with the appearance since he linked it to the main page, if he wanted me to change it he would've told me during that time. --LoyalHaloFan 04:59, August 6, 2011 (UTC)LoyalHaloFan
Regardless, it is in contradiction of canon and therefore NCF. Fix it before I tag it. — Rex(Talk To Me) (My Work)
Screw it, I'll tag it anyway.
Appearance is contradictory to established canon in Halo: Cryptum. Here, it gives a full description.
The last Precursor mentioned in Halo: Cryptumis the last Precursor. As in the LAST. The Forerunners rebelled against the Precursors and eradicated them completely, leaving only a single one alive. Look here for details.
In 150,000 BC, the Forerunners rose to become the dominant race in the Milky Way galaxy. The Forerunner-Precursor war would have been prior to that, so there cannot be any Precursor activity after that.
You have 14 days to fix the article to make it canon friendly. After that, it gets namespaced. Cheers and happy editing. — Rex(Talk To Me) (My Work)
The Precursors were only eradicated in the milkyway, since they were transgalactic, there's a reasonable assumption they survive elsewhere, snd that the milkyway isn't even their home galaxy.
I love how people list why an article isn't up to standards, and then write "Have a nice day", at the bottom of the page. XD Anyways, I guess that I'll have to write something constructive here, so why not see Niex for inspiration? Might I suggest that if you are to research images of species, that you specifically look up insectoids, specifically ones that match the canon description? Happy times,
If none of them have a contradictory template on them, then go right ahead. You might just need to make sure that the ones you tag as NCF were created after the newly established canon. :)
Yeah, I've been through that already... Just forget that I said anything. ;)
Since it makes you guys feel good to pick on other people, especially the way you people are acting I've decided to delete this page, have fun picked on other people.
I've never seen a page get canon disputed b/c of a picture. You people are so full of it.
If you guys are here to harass me just delete my username --LoyalHaloFan 17:03, August 6, 2011 (UTC)LoyalHaloFan
Notice that of the four people to talk on the page, two have had issue, but not said anything uncivil, not bullied you, and not insulted you, and the other two have defended your page.
SilvaRex — Shit happens. You can't control it, but you can control how you react to it.
As per Ajax. And LHF, don't pull the "Awwww, poor meeee!" act. It gets really old. Do you think you are the only person who has had their articles criticized? Well, newsflash for you mate, you're not. So, stop acting like a victim and fix the article.
I have already outlined what is wrong with it, and it's not just the appearance of your Precursors. Once again, if you even care about this article, then you will fix it to the standards I have already previously stated. If you don't, let us know so we can either delete it or namespace it.
You have about 13.5 days before we automatically do it. Cheers and happy editing.
No, i'm not fixing, just delete my username.

Why not just fix it instead of being a whiny baby? Most people were bad at writing when they first start.
Calling him a "whiny baby" isn't going to make him want to fix it, Shivly. He wants it deleted, so I guess someone will have to delete it. Simple as that, discussion pretty much over. --The Songbird 08:47, August 7, 2011 (UTC)
Alright, then. We'll respect your wishes and delete it.
If the writer wants the said page deleted, he needs to add the {{Delete}} tag to the page. Thank you, - Rainbow Dash(Talk)(Contribs) 14:41, August 7, 2011
Shivly - One day you're here, then you're gone.: TALK - {{{time}}}
I'll more than gladly add the Delete template for him.
By "deleting your username", I am assuming that you are referring to getting banned. You don't have to be banned over creating a NCF article, and you don't have to get all upset at everyone's sarcasm and negative comments. Just for the record, I support new contributers.
Pikapi, it doesn't help when you asked if you could NCF every article in a user category. That makes them feel victimized and discriminated against. Sure, I could tell you were joking, but you have to remember that it's not a good idea to push new users around. They take it the wrong way, as we've seen many times before.
TGC, lighten up, will ya? I know you think LoyalHaloFan is overreacting, which I agree with, but you don't add insult to injury by mocking them. No, you're not being uncivil, but there is a huge difference between being civil and being polite. And I'm sure it shouldn't be too much to ask for you to be polite.
Shivly, that was just uncalled for. Period.
LoyalHaloFan, my advice would be not to feel discouraged. One thing you have to understand about this wiki is that we have a very strict policy on making everything canon-friendly. This will limit the "creativity" of some users, but it has helped to keep our database of writing much more tidy than fanfiction.net. Of course, this will often lead to users going a bit overboard in terms of criticism and will sometimes unintentionally become condescending upon newer members. From what I can see of your article, there may be a few discrepancies but nothing unfixable. And your writing itself is what I would consider decent. So I'd recommend you stick with the wiki and let your writing do the talking for you. Things will pick up if you just hold out for a few weeks or so. Sonasaurus|Talk•Contribs
Understood. I will refrain from this behaviour in the future. It will not happen again. — Rex(Talk To Me) (My Work)
No, the author still hasn't changed the article, even when I pointed out the main thing that needed to be fixed on said author's talk page. There has been more than enough time to have it edited to meet the standards.

Author has failed to meet the requirements and resolve contradictions in the article in the allotted time period. — Rex(Talk To Me) (My Work)
You haven't even re-read it. Your just namespacing it b/c you want me to be gone from Halo Fanon. Tell me what you hate about me and maybe i'll give you a fucking reasonable statement.
I don't hate you. I think you are a talented writer. Having your article namespaced will not remove you from this site and you are free to edit. While you have changed the appearance, yes, but the history side is still NCF.
There was an uprising of the Forerunners against the Precursors, after which, the Precursors were extinct, except for a single one. That was some time before the year 150,000 BC, so there cannot be any Precursor activity after that. If you feel like it, you can give a brief history about how the uprising started and how the Precursors fell, which would no doubt be quite a story.
If you fix that, then there is hope that you can save your article from being namespaced. I'm just following policy, LHF.
What are you talking about? My Precursors Era takes place from 900,000 to 150,000. Your making no sense.
Stay cool, LHF, there's no need to start attacking TGC. He is following site policy, but if there's something he said that you disagree with, you two can resolve it politely. Sonasaurus|Talk•Contribs
SilvaRex — You ask me a question, I give you an answer. If you don't like the answer I give you, then that's your problem, not mine.
LoyalHaloFan, I'm not an idiot. I saw that you edited it and put three zeros after every date, I'm not blind, I can see, so don't treat me like you have no idea what I was talking about. You know very well what I was talking about.
Now, if this makes you happy, it seems that the article is no longer NCF. Feel free to ask any admin to remove the tag and then the problem will be resolved. However, you might need to check your attitude towards other users. I hope you know that I was trying to help you, not piss you off and make you leave the site.
All i'm trying to do is make a few articles, and he's being such an jackass toward me. I'm trying to fix up my articles but i can't b/c i got to worry more about school and AFJROTC.
Sonasaurus — Spartans never die. And neither do they
I ain't being a jackass, I'm following policy and being civil about it, not hurrying in there and being a troll. Does a troll tell you how to make an article better? No. Wikipedia has an entire article about what the definition of a troll is, you might need to read it before you blatantly accuse people of being one, when they are in fact trying to help you.
Usually if this was a more experienced user or one that has been here longer than yourself, they would have received a ban for performing this kind of childish and uncivil behaviour. You have not, so consider yourself lucky.
Gutsy, seriously. LHF never called you a troll, so calm down. You're just prolonging the argument when you've already been told to drop it. So drop it, before you get a ban for "childish and uncivil behaviour". Sonasaurus|Talk•Contribs
