They do not have to buy their basic stuff. Chapters range across the galaxy, and the Grails of the Imperium are from the third founding and so would have likely traveled almmost everywhere in their history. So, yyes, you were wrong to say that those were problems.

The spelling was horrible, but that was obvious and has been fixed.

Usually the admins are looking at EVERYTHING every day. Expecially when our dearest ban hammer weilding Remos is online. Very few articles are deleted becasue the time runs out when the users who make then are active. So the fact that they are either provided this equipment or can demand it within reason, that effectively eliminates the need, especially since a Space Marine Chapter will likely have contigencies to help prevent the need for such things, so I do believe that I am at least not wrong in this particular assertion.

The "Allies" at the very least implies either 'current' allies or 'major' allies. You are correct in saying that over the course of their history, the Chapter could interact closely with both the Dark Angels and Salamanders and be close allies for a time with both, but if we apply that logic, we'd have a list a mile long for every Space Marine Chapter of other Chapters and Imperial Organisations that they've been close allies with over their existence. Then you have to consider that their allegiance is to the Imperium of Man so - in a loose sense - they are allied with all Chapters and all Imperial Organisations.

What I mean to say on the allies issue is that the Allies field will either refer to the most recent 'Close Allies' the Chapter has if they travel around the galaxy a lot, or it will refer to the allies they are closest to within the region of space in which they operate.

If we assume something along the lines of your definition where being allied with the Dark Angels and Salamander is OK, then that would take a lot of explaing (especially given the huge travel time you'd need to get from one side of the galaxy to the other). My bet is that it can't be done well, but I'll happily be proven wrong. Just don't expect me to help you do it.

As for the spelling it was obvious to the rest of us, but - and I mean no offense by the The American Berserker - the amount of times I had to point out mistakes was insane and I feel that - admin or not - I am well within my rights to point out these errors while refraining from fixing them myself (since I am not one of the article's authors).
