==Planet Overhaul Project==
Hi Gruese, welcome to sarna, we are at this time on a planet Overhaul project, we fix and update the nearby system table on any planet, take a look on the planet project page, we use a spreadsheet with all known systems if you are interested please take a look her [[User talk:Volt|Volt]], thanks to have you here.--[[User:Doneve|Doneve]] ([[User talk:Doneve|talk]]) 09:17, 26 October 2015 (PDT)
:Hello, and welcome to Sarna! If you have any questions or wonder where to get started, leave a message on [[User talk:BobTheZombie|my talk page]]. Hope to see you around! 
:P.S. I'm not very involved in the Planets Project, but I know that people will be coming around to answer the talk page questions you had.-[[User:BobTheZombie|BobTheZombie]] ([[User talk:BobTheZombie|talk]]) 12:25, 26 October 2015 (PDT)

==Deep periphery map==
Hi, I saw your comment on the [[Fröislandis]] talk page. Check the article for [[Deep Periphery]], you can find the map from ISP3 there (click to enlarge). [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] ([[User talk:Frabby|talk]]) 08:17, 5 April 2017 (EDT)

== Coordinates ==
Hi Greuse,<br>

You might find the following useful - I apologise for the formatting, but I'm away from home and can't easily pass across a spreadsheet. [[User:BrokenMnemonic|BrokenMnemonic]] ([[User talk:BrokenMnemonic|talk]]) 09:31, 5 April 2017 (EDT)
:I'm definitely not typing this on my phone in a meeting, but the coordinates below are the last generation Volt prepared. We only work to 2 decimal places here though, to account for the error margin in the measurements.

::Thanks for the list, it's most helpful. [[User:Gruese|Gruese]] 10:41, 5 April 2017 (EDT)

==Alias names==
Just to get this overall thing started:
*As a general rule, all system names with a roman numeral indicate a specific planet within the system (e.g. Suk II = second planet in Suk system; Niops VII = seventh planet in Niops system). Cut the roman numerals from the article name as Sarna is seeking to have articles about Systems, not about planets. Redirects from "Name+Numeral" to the "System Name" article should be put in place.
**Special case: Klathandu IV is actually in the Klathan (not Klathandu) system, according to ''[[Tales of the Black Widow Company]]''.
*''[[25 Years of Art and Fiction]]'', "Rosetta" box/sidebar on p. 47 (going with the "Starfire" short story), states that "Per convention, the system is named after the habitable world, Rosetta." Which in this case is a moon around the fourth planet.
*Nebulae and clusters are a problem in how they should be adressed. They are normally not a system, just an astronomical feature of otherwise unconnected systems. The Erit Cluster is almost certainly a part of the Dark Nebula. Flannagan's Nebula is described as one huge multi-star system instead of a regular nebula so may be a special case unto its own. Needs to be discussed.
*ComStar's Hidden Five are special cases. Gabriel is just a place within the Odessa system, and not a system unto itself. Jardine is and always was Jardine so this is the correct name (and Herakleion is a made-up cover name alias). Obeedah, Taussen and Mayadi are alias cover names and should redirect to the real names, with the caveat that Herb Beas' revelation of the systems' real names is not actually canonical.
*Here's a list of alias names from the thread about Gruese's project over at the HBS forum: [https://community.battletechgame.com/forums/threads/3607/comments/120844 Alias name list]
*Here's [[User talk:Frabby#System_Names|another list on my own Talk Page]] (compiled by Mendrugo), much of it apocryphal aliases taken from BattleTechnology. I've already worked down that list, created redirects, and every article from this particular list should already have some text in it adressing the alias name.
*One entry not found on either list: "Wheel" is a space station in what is actually named the Valdis system, according to [[BattleTechnology]].
So much for now. I'll be travelling during the upcoming week, with little if any internet access. [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] ([[User talk:Frabby|talk]]) 06:34, 12 August 2017 (EDT)
: I'd like to have added (to the above) the reference I see you using for ''[[BattleTech: 25 Years of Art & Fiction]]'', as I agree with you that is a definitive rule for naming.
: We'll see you when you get 'back'.--[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 08:14, 12 August 2017 (EDT)
::Have added the quote from 25 YoA&F and other details into my posting above. [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] ([[User talk:Frabby|talk]]) 09:59, 12 August 2017 (EDT)

== What a beautiful project ==

Seriously, it is well done and useful, providing an excellent GUI for imaging local neighbors, jump paths....I am very impressed. What have you done to advertise it? Would it be possible to add it non-canon systems for RPG purposes, as a custom file?

:I agree fully, your contributions this year have been huge to this wiki!  I see you don't have an Awards board.  If you wanted to add one, you could display this: [[User:Nicjansma|Nicjansma]] ([[User talk:Nicjansma|talk]]) 21:09, 7 July 2020 (EDT)
