message: Given that Halo 3 has had its release in most parts of the world by now (as well as ahem...widely distributed evaluation copies). I would have expected updates on this page. - Just a Thought. - Roswell Crash Survivor 03:58, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Copying from Bungie Site

message: I think this page needs cleanup and organization. The one heading it has is hardly organization. Someone needs to reorganize everything and section it out. It would be easier if there was a little more information, too. Basically, I'm just suggesting a cleanup tag be put at the top of this article.
===Okay.===
I have placed the tag, I don't have time to work on this, but I will.
::I don't percieve the need here. The article summary is quite competent and informs the reader of the source material. If a clean-up is warrented, please do so. I've removed the tag in the meanwhile. -ZeroTalk 16:35, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Bungie has made it expressly clear that Cortana is saying "Sword" in the announcement trailer. Any statements that she is saying "source" are incorrect. Peptuck 05:43, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

text: SlimJim0045 asks, 
Please have Cortana's lines pronounced so that I don't see 36 threads about it. 
"I have defied gods and demons."
"I am your shield, I am your SWORD."
"I know you, your past, your future."
"This is the way the world ends."''

:She's a holographic AI. She can change her physical appearance however she wants. Peptuck 08:40, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that her color might also change depending on her mood (see her in Installation 04's control room for example.)  Plus the bits of data runing across her "skin" reflect what she is thinking at the time, though such data is often indecipherably complex to most people.  - Fearless Son 22:44, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  hair 

message: I'm not sure how to add this to this article and thus leave it here in hopes of someone who does coming along. The Durendal article says that a legendary sword was inscribed "My name is Cortana, of the same steel and temper as Joyeuse and Durendal." Given the AI Durandal in the Marathon series and the closeness of the Marathon and Halo series... --Kizor 15:52, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This is simply one of the quirks of Bungie.  They named Cortana after another legendary sword from the same era as Durandal as a means of catching the attention of Marathon Fans.  This was done initially in "The Cortana Letters" sent to the Marathon's Story web page to build hype.  The letters were written with Durandal-like tones so a deliberately similar name was chosen.  They kept the name for the character in the game, because it kept fans of Marathon guessing and thus held their intetest.  - Fearless Son 22:55, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Corana and Durendal 

message: I never heard anything like "Leave me" by cortana in the ESPN trailer. She said "Chief?". Thats it.
: Its barely audible, but a female voice very similar to the one that says "Chief, chief...." is audible, saying "Leave me." Peptuck 05:27, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cortana in Trailer 

message: When you kill Keyes on the Truth and Reconsilitation level, Cortana says something like "No... Without the captain... The covenant-" and then gets cut off with the respawn. What is the full part?-—Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.34.30.166  (talk • contribs) 
:Cortana only speaks two lines after you kill Keyes, and they don't have to do anything with the captain... the transcripts of the mission can be found here if you're interested. Dåvid Fuchs [talk • contribs] 01:37, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cortana? 

message: Hello. I am the one who added the bit about Cortana's eyes in the picture of Master Chief (currently reference 9) but I'm having a bit of trouble getting the link to work.  I think I have all of the information right, though.  If anyone can help me with this, I'd appreciate it.  Here it is, albeit missing the < and > so that it's not taken as a part of context and formatted by this talk page: ref></ref    Thanks!  Enker Dot EXE 15:56, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Link to Cortana's Eyes

message: I added a part under Character history (but forgot to sign in) and it might ought to go in a 'trivia' section. yeah... somebody else decide for me.
:I'm pretty sure that trivia sections aren't really important, nor are easter eggs.--60 Delta 00:16, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: easter egg

message: I'm not sure if it's worth entering, but could her drastic change in appearance from Halo to Halo 2 have some significance? There is quite a large change, and I wonder if it could have been done to make her seem more attractive. That's just speculation, but if someone knows more, it seems like it might be worth adding. 129.59.8.10 21:17, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Appearance

message: This could just be me but I feel that this section needs a triva section for "extra information" such as the second part of the introduction where is talks about the swords Cortana and Durandal. Rearete 19:49, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Trivia sections are discouraged as a way of organizing information. If we can find sources, there should ideally be a section or paragraph for references and connections to other games and works. — TKD::Talk 19:59, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The source for this doesn't mention any Cortana lingerie. Should this just be removed? --194.203.201.92 17:27, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cortana lingerie 

message: On the Legendary disc of halo 3, if you watch the "re-designed" cutscenes in halo with the director/developer commentary on, the people talking say that they had originally intended for Cortana to be British, in fact they had the voice actresses speak their lines in British, i'm just wondering if this should be added in to the article, considering that it does have to do with the creation of the character READY TO FINISH THE FIGHT! 01:31, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you can cite it properly, put it in. David Fuchs (talk) 17:46, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

text: It would most likely go in 'Character development'. Just throw it in there; if it need's formatting, I can do that. David Fuchs (talk) 18:45, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Legendary Extras

message: there's a direct quote along with some other text about Cortana's sex appeal, but none of it is cited, and it definitely needs it. Hotshot977 23:36, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is cited later in the article, does it need a citation in the lead section? James086Talk | Email 01:34, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: i think it is more important to cite it the first time it appears in the article, as a reader will assume that a repeated statement is from the same source as earlier in the article Hotshot977 18:34, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
