:Ah!- Thankyou for the correction. I am a stickler for consistency, but sometimes it derails its own effort. No such thing as perfect...[[User:ClerkTechGB72|ClerkTechGB72]] ([[User talk:ClerkTechGB72|talk]]) 04:47, 13 March 2017 (EDT)

:Thankyou very much ''BrokenMnemonic''. I am an engineer myself and found the subject matter quite interesting. I read through all the manufacturing centers a couple months ago and felt that I could contribute a great deal to this part of the site. I appreciate this award and will continue my efforts in this area. [[User:ClerkTechGB72|ClerkTechGB72]] ([[User talk:ClerkTechGB72|talk]]) 02:11, 22 March 2017 (EDT)

:I am unaware of any plagiarism as I cited published material. I did recently update the page with details from Wolf's Dragoons history page and have not yet gone through all relevant references. I certainly wish to avoid plagiarism as it would be dishonorable - do you have any recommendations (citations, additions, deletions...)? When I read the HTP it reminded me of other sourcebook accounts of battles, such as Luthien and Coventry. Based on material recounted in those books compared to what I found on their respective wiki pages, I only included comparable "story" entries found in the HTP. Nevertheless, is there an issue I am not detecting? Respectfully, [[User:ClerkTechGB72|ClerkTechGB72]] ([[User talk:ClerkTechGB72|talk]]) 00:49, 23 March 2017 (EDT)

::::Well, to be clear, i make no accusations. Its just when i see a Battle article with headers drawn directly from the scenario books and HTPs, I become concerned. (Yes, i know we have a few of those!)
 
::::I look forward to working with you! [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] ([[User talk:ClanWolverine101|talk]]) 09:34, 23 March 2017 (EDT)
