Introduction
Welcome to BLEMO'S FAQ. This is the list of Frequently Asked ANNOYING Questions that are sent to Blemo at least twice or three times a month. Since many of you, especially new users, love to ask questions, Blemo decided to write them down here.

Who is "Blemo"?
Blemo is another user on Halopedia like you and I, who helps many other users with their problems. Blemo was born in Los Alamitos Hospital on the 28th day of January, in 1994. He grew up until three years old, when he attended Sunshine Preschool. Soon after that, he went to Patricia Nixon Elementary for kindergarden. After kindergarden, he attended Cerritos Elementary for another six straight years from Grades 1-6. Presently, he is in Martin B. Tetzlaff Middle School in the eighth grade. He is fond of playing video games, hanging out with friends, and eating. He owns both the original Xbox and the Xbox 360. He plays the Halo series, some GRAW, a couple games of Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, four Tom Clancy games, various forms of racing games, and much more. Today, he loves Halopedia and writes many stories. He, above all, loves chatting with other users on Halopedia on IRC Channels.



Where did you get the name "Blemo"?
Just don't even ask. That means you,.

Do you have anything that I can contact you with?
Other than IRC #halopedia, Halopedia, or email, I don't think there is another way to contact me, unless I know you in person. My talk page is located on this link. I don't have Xbox Live, because my broadband Internet connection is upstairs hooked to my computer and my Xbox 360 is downstairs to my television. I don't normally give out my email address to anyone, unless they formally asked to give it, themselves. Don't know what IRC is? If you look in the COMMUNTIY BAR on the left side, you will see " Live Chat at #halopedia". IRC is an online chat center where you can chat almost about anything. You will probably find me there. Still can't find IRC? Click on this link to find the page. Just put in your username and scroll down to "#halopedia".

How do I make my own Custom Signatures?
I'm not really specialized in custom signatures. Yes, ironic, since I have one, but mine required help. However, the bottom part of this section was "stolen" from RR's FAQ, by me. Sorry, RR! The following is presented in RelentlessRecusant's point of view. If you see "me" or "I" in the following, it is referring to RR, himself.


 * This requires knowledge of HTML and/or Wikia markup. However, pre-assuming you have this knowledge, go to MY PREFERENCES on the top right hand side of this screen, go to NICKNAME and enter in HTML for your signature there (the date is automatically generated, don't bother to enter that). Afterwards, check off the RAW SIGNATURE box underneath "Nickname" and press "SAVE PREFERENCES". If you don't have the computer language knowledge, feel free to contact me at User talk:RelentlessRecusant and ask me to do it for you!

How do I make Talk Archieves?

 * Make sure your talk page is at least 50 entries long and then come contact me about making a talk archieve. Give me the following:
 * 1) Title of Archive (ex. Blemo's Talk Archive)
 * 2) Image(ex: Blemo Logo)
 * 3) Heading Color (optional, but without it, it's just black)
 * 4) Name of Archieve Number (optional)
 * 5) Type of "Message Bar"(optional)
 * 6) Talk page you want to convert into an archieve
 * Example

What does the thing mean on templates?

 * The means "favoritism", which means you can fill in the blank, so the sentence is neither grammatically correct or incorrect. It's actually one of the many complicated wiki markups, so DON'T TOUCH IT if you see it on a template! ;) I'll give you an example of the favoritism down below.

Why is my username mentioned on a lot of pages?

 * It is probably because you are a popular user.
 * Other users used what is called a Username template. The code for the username template is . Just by applying this, your username will show each time you visit a page that has a Username template. Adds the username of the registered user viewing the page into the page, so that with the sentences:
 * You rules. Userpage 's userpage rules too.

The user reading will always see a welcome, insult, or compliment directed toward them and their userpage, no matter who they are. NOTE: The Username template does not tend to work on IP Addresses.

'Use this template sparingly. Misuse of it may result in a ban.'

I'm making a note and I want the note to have my destination's username on it, but his/her username is too long. What do I do?

 * Use on the note, template, etc. you are making. It will have the person's username on it after you click "Save page" on the Editing Page. The same thing can be done on an article or template.

What is the ranking system in the UNSC of Halopedia?
As you progress in the UoH, you'll make edits mainly on Human or UNSC articles. That doesn't mean to stop editing Covenant, Flood, or Forerunner articles! You start out as a PRIVATE and progress your way to the top. To get promoted, you must make GOOD, REASONABLE, and UNDISPUTED edits to one (or preferably several) article(s). Getting promoted isn't just happiness for you, but for the entire UoH for making a colossal difference in UNSC articles. After getting promoted, you move up, or level, in rank. If you are a PRIVATE, you go to CORPORAL. From CORPORAL to SERGEANT. SERGEANT to STAFF SERGEANT. STAFF SERGEANT to MASTER SERGEANT. And so on and so forth. However, you cannot become a General, unless you win an election for UoH Leadership.
