== Sign == {{Sign}} :ClanWolverine101, please /do/ sign your comments on talk pages. If you don't, someone (usually me), has to do the research to find out who it was that made the comment. Thank you. --[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] ^{([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])} 05:02, 16 February 2010 (UTC) ::Apologies - I missed the appropriate command to do so. I'll reread your protocols. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] == Cosara Weaponries == Evening, ClanWolverine101. I saw your removal of the statement regarding [[Cosara Weaponries]] from the [[Northwind Highlanders]] article. Because I don't want to discourage a new Editor, especially one working so hard as you, I'm not gonna dispute that, but it is generally our policy to post a '''<nowiki>{{citation needed}}</nowiki>''' tag after something that doesn't seem right to you. That way, multiple Editors have the opportunity to research the fact, rather than just losing the information. If someone hasn't updated the statement with a verifiable citation, then you are free to delete it. That tag, and others, can be found in the left-side column in the [[Help:Template gallery|Template gallery]]. Thanks. --[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] ^{([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])} 02:08, 19 February 2010 (UTC) :Understood, and thank you. I started having second thoughts about my original note, thinking maybe it was in regards to the Cosara factories on Terra, not Northwind that I was thinking of. Regardless, I would not have zapped it arbitrarily if it had been someone else's posting.[[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] ::{{Emoticon| :) }} Really? Good thing I didn't roll you back again. I didn't know you had posted it. --[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] ^{([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])} 04:06, 19 February 2010 (UTC) :::Well, shoot - I'd never just delete a section of someone else's work without at least sticking something specific in the discussion page. When I think something is incorrect, I usually just post to "Talk", and see if I get a response. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] == Random Act of Appreciation Award == ClanWolverine101, I grant you the Random Act of Appreciation Award for your numerous improvement edits this past weekend, especially in regards to cleaning up citations, such as those you made to [[145th Jaguar Regulars (Clan Smoke Jaguar)]]: :[[File:RAA.jpg|Random Act of Appreciation Award, 1st ribbon]] I took the liberty of adding an awards board to your [[User:ClanWolverine101|main page]].

[[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] ::And thank '''YOU'''![[User:Deeppockets|Deeppockets]] 04:33, 3 July 2010 (UTC) == Notable Pilots Project == So something I'm planning on focusing on is hitting all the 'VIP' type bios and listing what mechs they were known to use, in the standard section. Conversely, I would go to the mech pages and add the 'VIP' types as 'Notable Pilots'. Does this sound good? [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] :Yep. But it would have to be a ''really'' notable person, because we don't want to spam the 'Mech entries with pilot names. Most "notable pilots" from the TROs are in fact nobodies who may get their own IC character entry on BTW, but do not deserve a mention as a notable pilot. Further, I feel (but this is just my personal opinion) that the 'Mech and its notable pilot should be identified with each other to some notable degree. Natasha Kerensky and her Warhammer are an immediate match; by contrast, Sun Tzu Liao piloted numerous designs at various points but is not really associated with any particular 'Mech. [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] 21:12, 23 February 2010 (UTC) ::Oh, I agree. When I say 'notable pilots' I do mean significant characters from the novels and such, who actually had a connection to the machine. Sun-Tzu was never much of a mechwarrior, so I wouldn't bother with him at all. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] == Mechforce Quarterly == I gather from your question at [[:Talk:Hansen's_Roughriders]] that you were a member of the MFNA for a time at least, and also have the magazines? May I kindly request that you look over my [[MechForce]] article and check if you can add something, and perhaps also create the articles on [[MechForce North America]], [['Mech (magazine)]] and [[MechForce Quarterly]] which are redlinked so far. [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] 20:38, 27 February 2010 (UTC) :How I wish I could. :( Sadly, they are in a box in a pile of boxes in a closet in a basement in parent's house 1,000 miles away. I probably would have needed help referencing the article. Its just that when I read the entry that the Roughriders never fought in the clan invasion, I suddenly remembered that scenario. I miss the old magazine, though. I even got paid $20 for a submitted scenario. Don't think they ran it though. Maybe I could hunt those mags down eventually. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] == Setting up a redirect == [[Eighth Sword of Light]] [[8th Sword of Light]] (copied from Talk page) Question : In many of the source materials this is referred to as the Treaty of Tukayyid. How do i set it up so that "Treaty of Tukayyid" redirects here? ClanWolverine101 Click go the page you want to create, in this case I'll just add Treaty of Tukayyid here as there are no existing redlinks on BTW for that, when you edit that page hit the #R button along the top so it dumps in <nowiki>#REDIRECT[[Target page name]]</nowiki> and enter in the page you want the redirect to lead to, in this case <nowiki>#REDIRECT[[Truce of Tukayyid]]</nowiki> Cyc 22:33, 9 March 2010 (UTC) :Minor addition on the sidelines: I added the <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki> tags to Cyc's explanation so that it displays the code as text instead of wikicode, for clarification.

I was wondering what TRO or other sourcebook those were from? I ask because I'd like to make the article all of those are linking to. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] :I found a lot of them in [[Technical Readout: 3075]]. I can't recall the exact page number, but I think it was the third or fourth page into the "Age of War" section.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 11:58, 15 March 2010 (UTC) ::Also [[The Star League]] sourcebook, pages 41, 61, 85, 105, and 110 talks about recruiting and policies for the SLDF Royal divisions.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 12:05, 15 March 2010 (UTC) :::Yeah, I'll try to bust this out soon. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] ::::If you don't have the SLDF book, let me know. I do and I can get the relevant passages to you. --[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 18:33, 24 March 2010 (UTC) ::::: I got it. Just getting to it. Thanks! [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 19:38, 24 March 2010 (UTC) :Good article! I like it a lot. Now to get the [[Historical: Operation Klondike|Operation: Klondike]] info in there once the moratorium period has ended. :P.S. I re-ordered a couple sections of the page (moved Amaris Civil War to follow Equipment). Since you have troop composition first, I thought it made more sense to have the equipment be the next thing, rather than launching into the Amaris Civil War stuff. Plus the last line of the Equipment section flowed naturally into the ACW section.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 13:45, 25 March 2010 (UTC) :: Fair enough. I don't have Klondike myself, so that's all you. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 14:39, 25 March 2010 (UTC) ==Date request== Hey, CW: this is only a request, not a mandate by any means. Can you start signing your posts the traditional way (i.e., with four tildes or using the 'sign with timestamp' button), so that readers can follow when you made them? Its not normally a big thing, but because you are much more involved in the behind-the-scenes of the wiki than most new Editors, and because you are influencing discussions, I've often been checking page history to see if a cocnern of your's is recent or older (and possibly thereby needing a response by me). Again, if its a thing of your's to not do that, roger that and I'll adapt.--[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] ^{([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])} 16:21, 19 March 2010 (UTC) : Absolutely, I can do that. When I first started, I was told three was standard. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 17:08, 19 March 2010 (UTC) ::LOL...I'm sorry you were misdirected. Now you know why others have the date and it doesn't show on your's. If you like, let me know who told you and I'll let them know 4 is the standard. Thanks, though! --[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] ^{([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])} 18:38, 19 March 2010 (UTC) ==All Purpose Award== You get the All Purpose Award [[File:AP.jpg|All Purpose Award, 1st ribbon]] for the [[Waco Rangers]] article. --[[User:Neufeld|Neufeld]] 08:48, 20 March 2010 (UTC) :Thanks! I was actually quite proud of that one. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 08:55, 20 March 2010 (UTC) ::Neufeld beat me to granting you that Award, but I still wanted to chime in and congratulate you. This is exactly the type of articles that I want to see more of: Detailed, well-researched, well-referenced. Incidentially, I was preparing a Waco Rangers article myself (because they're among my favourite units), but I'm glad you beat me to it. I may add a few bits and pieces to the article in the future. Oh, and you're now earmarked for a nomination for the Superior Article Award (once it gets released). :) [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] 12:06, 20 March 2010 (UTC) :::Thanks! It took me longer to get to this than I had intended, but I was happy with the result. (I hope someone can post an insignia graphic for me at some point.) [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 12:49, 20 March 2010 (UTC) ::::Had to see what all the hub-bub was and I, too, was impressed. I'm really glad to see an Editor doing this kind of detailed research and proud for BTW when these kind of articles get referenced elsewhere (such as CBT's forums and even eBay!). These aren't easy to do, even when just using one title. But to seek out multiple titles to get the broadest picture takes work. I'll second Frabby's nomination when the time comes.--[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] ^{([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])} 12:57, 20 March 2010 (UTC) :::::Thank you! I felt the subject matter lent itself well. We like references and footnotes? Well, that's pretty much what the Waco Rangers were. They were never featured, but whenever the writers needed an idiot villain to show up, act like an ass, get their butts kicked and then survive, there they were. They were a throw-in - the story was never about them. Their existence can easily be boiled down to some footnotes and references.

I propose it deserves its on article.<br> Thoughts? [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 11:35, 6 April 2010 (UTC) :Absolutely. --[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] ^{([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])} 11:41, 6 April 2010 (UTC) :: Great! :: ... now I just need to actually read Book 2 of the Warrior Trilogy. :P [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 11:42, 6 April 2010 (UTC) :::You could also start the article, based on descriptions of the event from other sources.

As some of you may have noticed, I have a particular interest in Wolf's Dragoons and the Marik-Civil War. I *THINK* I did a good job on this one, and would appreciate any feedback. Thanks.<br> [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 05:32, 17 April 2010 (UTC) :I made some changes. :*First off is every level 3 section heading must fall under a level 2. That was easy enough, as the relevant sections all fell under the History section, anyway. :*Part of me notices that there is a Dragoon Mystery section, but all of the sections are related to that. If it could support it, I'd like Precentor ROM, Thar Marik Civil War and Aftermath all be level 4 sections under the Dragoon Mystery, since they are related. However, I'll leave that up to you. Legacy seems just right as a level 3. :*Good use of citations. I think the article is well-sourced. I have removed the links to the articles in the references, as an upcoming policy seeks to make references as easy and consistent as possible. Since all cited material should be in the bibliography section (I added them where they weren't), internal links in the refs are unnecessary. When ever possible, also include the relevant page numbers and section heading (if available); it helps cuts down on the time Editors need to verify, since you already found it. Also note: the right abbreviation of page is 'p.' and plural would be 'pp.'. Look out how [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] used "ref name" to make citations easier on the read; which is also easier on the citing Editor, if used. :*Also, the biblio should be alphabetized. When the linked article must use a descriptor in the title, pipe the link so it only shows the title's actual name (ex: <nowiki>[[</nowiki>ComStar (sourcebook)|ComStar<nowiki>]]</nowiki>). :This was well-researched and well-written. The copyedits I listed above were just that: they made the article only marginally better. The materiel was clear and valuable and -since it spanned numerous titles- also encompassing. If there were a picture available, the article would be complete. :Right now, most Editors are seeking to get something, anything on a subject on to BTW, so searches are rewarded with actual content. Your level of effort is the next phase, where one Editor does a tremendous amount of work to best complete just one article. You should be proud. Its the closest thing to article-ownership and Editor can feel, isn't it?--[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] ^{([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])} 12:11, 17 April 2010 (UTC) ::Thanks. Responses follow. ::* Meh, thought the Level 2 History header was redundant at this point, but fair enough. ::* I used the term "Dragoon Mystery" because the entire section was pretext - Kristofur is not even mentioned in it.

I dropped that banner because I've seen about 100 articles that has that up, and it doesn't add anything. I use those banners to either remind myself, or say "hey - i don't have this particular product - can someone else put it on their todo list?" But a whole bunch of pages have the MPS banner.

Always one of my favorite characters; I felt she was unfairly reduced to a footnote character after ''Heir to the Dragon''. Feedback is welcome as always. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 03:05, 16 June 2010 (UTC) == Kid gloves == Hey, just wanted to share my appreciation for your recognition of my efforts to reach out to the 'noob' you so long ago. While not an endorsement of either side in the other exchange, I felt honored to be so recognized. I especially found humorous the 'eye rolling' bit. I know what you mean. Its not common to find such benchmarks of significant development once you're an adult, especially over so short a period of time. BUT....back on topic....glad you stuck around. The project is markedly stronger for your efforts. --[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] ^{([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])} 01:03, 17 June 2010 (UTC) : I appreciate that. For the record, I don't so much look at it as choosing sides as I do being considerate of other editors, regardless of whether or not they are an admin. I do my best to be considerate when I see something in an article that I feel merits deleting. Several times, I've posted something to the Talk page... and then had another editor go ahead and make the change. So in that respect, I can see it both ways. But new people - yeah. We should talk first, act second. : Thanks again.

While sub-pages are generally frowned upon for anything other than user pages, for archival purposes they're required.<br> So, for the Project BattleMechs talk page, you'd create a sub-page for it, usually naming it something that allows further archival pages. For example, I'd probably name this one [[BattleTechWiki talk:Project BattleMechs/Archive1]]. Notice the use of the forward slash. After you do that, copy the text you want to move and paste it onto the archive page and save. Next, copy the link for the archive page near the top of the original page, usually with a bullet. Then delete the copied text from the original page and save. You should then have the original page with a wikilink to the archive page and less material. When you click on the wikilink, you'll see all of the material you culled.<br> Some people keep adding to one archive page until it reaches some limit (of their own decision). On my talk page, I tend to create archive pages by year and add to the present year's whenever my own talk page gets too long.<br> Hope this helps. --[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] ^{([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])} 13:39, 19 June 2010 (UTC) : ... that's far more simple than I thought it would be.

[[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 23:49, 12 July 2010 (UTC) ==Star League Civil War== Hi, ClanWolverine, I saw you made a re-direct for Star League Civil war. After reading Jihad Hot Spots: Terra, i got impression that war itself the conflict was actual named Star League Civil War, due to the Hegemony people initially backing Amaris thinking he was replacing a incompentant leader. Do you think later when the moratorium on JHS:Terra is done, that main article could be changed to Star League Civil War instead of Amaris Civil War? I know name been used before, but sounds like Amaris is fighting his own people.-- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 13:26, 20 July 2010 (UTC) : Hmmm. Well, for the record, I only put that in there because I found some "red links" on the Wiki to "Star League Civil War" that were in reference to it. I haven't read JHS Terra, but I'm reluctant to rename an article like that too quickly. Even though "JHS Terra" is the most recent publication, there have been references to the Kerensky/Amaris war in countless products dating back to the beginning of battletech. I would propose finding a way of determining what name is most commonly used in all that history. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 14:01, 20 July 2010 (UTC) ::I agree, only reason why i think change maybe coming is due to CGL's policy that new info trumps old information. If you recall, alot FASA products had some typos in dates and mistaken events which lead to problems in canon. You've been active and keen mind with handling battletech lore and history, so i want bounce this question to you before asking the rest of the Sarna editors. Anyways, I would ask the writers when i able. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 15:43, 20 July 2010 (UTC) ==Support Please== Hey, I have a huge project on the run and need support/ideas for the best solution. The [[1st Aragon Border]]s is a example for future work. My idea is do rework all units an bring them to one level with the same structure. I have done the same to the mercs lately. Only a few units are left, but this is only temporary. Please view it an give my a response. Any support is welcome...

Its a lot of material you've put up, and that is impressive. But quite a bit of it needs to be gone over for copyediting and references.
