Welcome aboard

Hey MahiMahi, I have replied to your question on the Price of Glory talk page but wanted to welcome you aboard properly and let you know how much I appreciate that you are doing research work and want to use the results to make our wiki better. I personally think the best wiki editors are the ones who can think outside the box and link information together from several different products rather than adhere slavishly to the text written in the books. As such I hope you stick around :-)--Dmon (talk) 05:10, 21 March 2019 (EDT)

Canon media/authors categories

Hiya, may I suggest - while the projects aren't too large yet - to adjust the names by replacing "canon" with "in-universe"? Canon is the wrong word for what you're describing, I believe. Frabby (talk) 04:54, 27 February 2020 (EST)

• That was my first instinct on what to call it anyway. Done. I'll be going back through the books I've read in my chronological order quest (just finishing LoT2 now) and adding more in as I get the chance. MahiMahi (talk) 06:51, 27 February 2020 (EST)

Canon status of MW5 origin story

May I inquire why you have removed the apocryphal tags and Canon explanation from the MW5 origin story articles? Was there any new announcement marking them as canon after all? Frabby (talk) 04:58, 14 April 2021 (EDT)

Yes, they're now fully canonized with this release: https://store.catalystgamelabs.com/collections/battletech/products/battletech-the-mercenary-life

They slipped that out pretty quietly! Just checked and it went up on Amzon two days ago! Good catch MahiMahi!--Dmon (talk) 07:31, 14 April 2021 (EDT)

Oh wow, good catch indeed! But I think that needs to be mentioned in the articles that there was a first, apocryphal release and it was canonized through a CGL release on 12 April 2021. Frabby (talk) 10:07, 14 April 2021 (EDT)

ELH Cronicles

Hi MahiMahi, have you seen this post regarding the ELH Chronicles? As of right now, everything on fs.battletech.com/fiction is not set in stone.--Cache (talk) 18:37, 14 April 2021 (EDT)

Good spot. I'll hold off on adding the dates, but I've heard back from a lot of the authors that their books at least have been writtenMahiMahi (talk) 18:59, 14 April 2021 (EDT)

MahiMahi, Dmon: thanks for following behind me and beefing & cleaning up that article. Much improved; more informative.--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 22:23, 23 May 2021 (EDT)

Job Title Capitalization

MahiMahi, with regards to the Dietrich Mathers article, job titles are normally only capitalized when they are used in front of a name or as direct address. Not when used alone. I.e. I think Professor Mathers made a fine assistant professor. Do you agree, Professor?

I only have Tactical Operations currently to check sources, but that is confirmed throughout the text. If you have the PDF, do a search for "professor."--Cache (talk) 11:34, 2 June 2021 (EDT)

You and I are on the same freq, Cache. I'm thinking about putting up an essay about proper capitalizations in BattleTech, since so many things are constantly capitalized whether they should be or not. DropPorts, apparently yes; Small Laser, definitely not. Even Star Captain should be lower case when not used as a title. "Star Captain Hewe was in command..." vice "Hewe was a star captain in the...". --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 14:44, 2 June 2021 (EDT)
