{{Welcome|Nuclear-Fridge|Chris Price}} ==Welcome== Welcome to Sarna! Your copyedits are highly appreciated, it's a task that cannot always be gotten to. But I can't call it a thankless job, as I'm very much thanking you right now. --[[User:Rebs|Rebs]] ([[User talk:Rebs|talk]]) 06:52, 23 April 2013 (PDT) :Following on from Rebs comment above, I think you've made a good start on a never-ending task here. It's great to see someone working to improve the standard of the existing material here, and I think that's well worth giving you your first Casual Edit Award: [[File:CE.jpg|Casual Edit Award, 1st ribbon]] - we'll need a mod or admin person to set up the awards board on your user profile, but as soon as they do, you'll have your first award ready to go on it. Welcome to Sarna, and keep up the good work! {{Emoticon| :) }}[[User:BrokenMnemonic|BrokenMnemonic]] ([[User talk:BrokenMnemonic|talk]]) 09:38, 25 April 2013 (PDT) Thank you for the warm welcome! This is the first time I've tried to contribute to a wiki, so I'm going slowly as I (try) to pick up on the skills needed. For instance, I've been looking at introducing myself, but I just can't figure out what to do...

Based on the way you're editing up a storm, when the edit count updates (which it does at some point every Sunday morning, UK time) you'll be over 100 edits, and eligible for your first edit award ribbon.

You've signed up only recently, and you're doing a lot of thankless copyediting work. It's work like yours that gives Sarna its polish, yet isn't usually rewarded with much appreciation or fanfare.

[[User:Nuclear-Fridge|Nuclear-Fridge]] ([[User talk:Nuclear-Fridge|talk]]) 03:40, 24 May 2013 (PDT) ==Wikilinks== I just wanted to drop you a note based on the edits you made to the [[Bad Dream]] mercenary unit. I noticed that you turned each instance of the planet [[Kendall]] into a wikilink - something that Frabby pointed out to me when I first started is that where a subject comes up several times in an article, the convention is to only turn the first instance of that subject into a wikilink. I bend that slightly myself - I'll often use a wikilink in the main text as well as a single instance in an infobox because of the way I think people read the articles. I thought I should mention it though, to save you spending time adding multiple iterations of the same link to articles. [[User:BrokenMnemonic|BrokenMnemonic]] ([[User talk:BrokenMnemonic|talk]]) 05:05, 14 June 2013 (PDT) :Oops. That's what I get for not checking how my edits look using the 'preview'. My bad!

I know that I'm lacking a massive pile of the most recent sourcebooks - the last one I bought was ''Shattered Sphere'', I think - but I'm just a bit annoyed at the poor quality of some of the entries here on Sarna. OK, I'm not going to point fingers - I have ''some'' manners - it simply gets on my nerves, is all. Then I get started correcting stuff, and get carried away...

Except for a few isolated cases where a landmark/village/whatever on a planet is so important to BattleTech as to warrant its own article, general policy (although admittedly not an official one) on BTW is to describe known settlements, landmarks etc. in the respective world article and possibly install a redirect. Look at it this way: If I was a writer going to write something set on Verthandi, I would want all information on one page, not spread out over several small articles. [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] ([[User talk:Frabby|talk]]) 02:48, 5 September 2013 (PDT) *Okay, I'll take that on board. From now on, I'll post them in "Verthandi". I can certainly see the logic.

[[User:Nuclear-Fridge|Nuclear-Fridge]] ([[User talk:Nuclear-Fridge|talk]]) 07:48, 24 March 2014 (PDT) ==BattleTechnology Short Stories Query== I'm thinking about tackling the old fiction pieces from BattleTechnology - things like "Howl of the North Wind" - is there anything I need to be aware of, like adding in the Apocryphal Content tag? [[User:Nuclear-Fridge|Nuclear-Fridge]] ([[User talk:Nuclear-Fridge|talk]]) 05:40, 28 April 2014 (PDT) :Very happy to see you doing this - it's been on my to-do list for years, but waaay down. :) Like you said, the articles need to have the apocryphal tag installed. Also, don't use the Product infobox; for short stories embedded in another product there is the [[Template:InfoBoxStory]] that you should use. Beyond that, and judging from what I see at ''[[Howl of the North Wind]]'', you're doing fine. [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] ([[User talk:Frabby|talk]]) 02:54, 29 April 2014 (PDT) ::Okay, thanks for the feedback! :) My first try at doing a fiction/summary piece, so I'll be revisiting it to tidy it up. Practice makes perfect... [[User:Nuclear-Fridge|Nuclear-Fridge]] ([[User talk:Nuclear-Fridge|talk]]) 02:59, 29 April 2014 (PDT) :::Yeah, I also went over the article and we had an editing conflict. But now it should give you a good template to do other, similar articles. [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] ([[User talk:Frabby|talk]]) 03:04, 29 April 2014 (PDT) ::::Thanks. By the way, regarding minor characters who only ever appear in these kind of articles - like Major Fraser - do they count as "Apocryphal" as well? [[User:Nuclear-Fridge|Nuclear-Fridge]] ([[User talk:Nuclear-Fridge|talk]]) 03:09, 29 April 2014 (PDT) :::::Yes. Apocryphal is a question of canonicity, not of notability. If any other (canonical) source should ever have mentioned Major Fraser then he'd be fully canonical for that, but his BattleTechnology appearance would still remain apocryphal. (Much like the appearances of Hanse Davion, Max Liao et al in BattleTechnology.) As an example for a barely noteworthy person, there's one MechWarrior Anita Chu Lai from the Waco Rangers. She is mentioned by name in the canonical Snord's Irregulars sourcebook, but she's also apocryphally mentioned in the apocryphal computer game, MechWarrior I where she is a possible recruit for the Blazing Aces. [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] ([[User talk:Frabby|talk]]) 04:17, 29 April 2014 (PDT) ::::::Ha! I remember hiring Anita Chu Lai when I played MechWarrior I.

[[User:Nuclear-Fridge|Nuclear-Fridge]] ([[User talk:Nuclear-Fridge|talk]]) 04:20, 30 April 2014 (PDT) Another thing regarding the short stories that I just noticed: "The David Ambush" has been deleted. I know it was one of my very first submissions, but was it really ''that'' bad it had to go? [[User:Nuclear-Fridge|Nuclear-Fridge]] ([[User talk:Nuclear-Fridge|talk]]) 02:20, 7 May 2014 (PDT) :Don't know nothing about that. Checking [[The David Ambush]], it seems there wasn't even an article going by that name on Sarna. If there had been one that was since deleted then the system would point that out when trying to recreate the article. A misspelling, perhaps? [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] ([[User talk:Frabby|talk]]) 02:34, 7 May 2014 (PDT) ::Whoops! All my mistake, I'm sorry to say. I typed up The David Ambush at the same time I typed up [[David Fletcher]], the principal character of the story, and I was certain I had submitted <b>both</b> articles... except I hadn't. I'll rewrite the story and post it properly in the next few days. [[User:Nuclear-Fridge|Nuclear-Fridge]] ([[User talk:Nuclear-Fridge|talk]]) 07:21, 8 May 2014 (PDT) I've got another BattleTechnology short story ready to post - "A Dagger's Death" - but I need some advice, about the Featured 'Mechs section. The story mentions a <b>lot</b> of different 'Mech types in passing - 16 or 17, all told, but the main action focuses only on three machines. Should I just list all the 'Mechs that are name-checked, or go with the three 'Mechs? [[User:Nuclear-Fridge|Nuclear-Fridge]] ([[User talk:Nuclear-Fridge|talk]]) 08:02, 8 May 2014 (PDT) :I haven't been consistent in that respect in my own articles about BT fiction, instead deciding on a case-by-case basis. Units that don't actually feature in a story could be marked by putting "(mentioned)" after their designation in the list. I've occasionally omitted them entirely in some cases, like where they weren't actually featured but only used for comparison (e.g. "heavy like an ''Atlas''"). And then there's the gut-feeling-level question of notability. If it seems somehow notable that a given 'Mech is mentioned even if it isn't actually featured in the story - for example because its mentioning is a continuity error, or the earliest mentioning of this 'Mech in fiction, or if it is an unusual, apocryphal or otherwise notable 'Mech - then the impetus to include it in the article is obviously a bit larger. Um. Was that helpful at all? [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] ([[User talk:Frabby|talk]]) 09:04, 8 May 2014 (PDT) ::A little bit... The thing with "A Dagger's Death" is that the narrator mentions trying to repair 'Mechs, or speaks of seeing enemy machines in the battle only once. The story itself centers on the three machines that beat the snot out of each other (Griffin, Marauder, Thunderbolt). All the other designs are there as window-dressing for the dueling trio. I'm going to have to think on this one.

[[User:Nuclear-Fridge|Nuclear-Fridge]] ([[User talk:Nuclear-Fridge|talk]]) 04:10, 1 April 2015 (PDT) ==Combined Proofreading Efforts== I came up with an idea on [[User talk:WarDog Mike#Feedback: Great House articles|WarDog Mike's user talk page]] to go through and proofread/reformat the most visited pages, because they should be at the top of our priorities (mostly because they're the first impression people get of Sarna), but some of them are pretty shabby. I know you guys (and myself included) like to float around proofreading whatever page you stumble upon instead of being told which ones to do, but I think that you, me and the other active proofreaders need to go through [[Special:PopularPages|this list]] and make sure that these pages are up to par on grammar, formatting, linkage, and all that jazz. I don't know what you are busy with project-wise or how much free time you have, but it's an idea.

Naturally, I didn't make any back-up files before the laptop blew up on me, so I'm going on my not-so-perfect meat memory banks.

I have an operation coming up to remove one of my kidneys (with an attached tumour the size of a coffee cup) and I have no real idea how long it'll take me to get well again. Months, I'm told. I just wanted you to know the "why" of "where the **** has he gone?" [[User:Nuclear-Fridge|Nuclear-Fridge]] ([[User talk:Nuclear-Fridge|talk]]) 08:21, 24 May 2019 (EDT) :Unfortunate side effect of being a nuclear powered fridge I guess would be that radiation! :On a serious not though that is pretty grim, hope you have a speedy recovery from the op and get the all clear of the dreaded C if that is what it is without having to go through much further treatment. Stop by when you are feeling upto it just so we know how you are getting on.--[[User:Dmon|Dmon]] ([[User talk:Dmon|talk]]) 08:30, 24 May 2019 (EDT) ::Thanks! It isn't cancer... Not yet, anyway. The tumour hasn't spread to my bones or other organs, so it hasn't gone too far. It's ironic, though - I've never smoked and I stopped drinking hard spirits about 25 years ago. Something else set this in motion. [[User:Nuclear-Fridge|Nuclear-Fridge]] ([[User talk:Nuclear-Fridge|talk]]) 08:37, 24 May 2019 (EDT) :Best wishes for a fine recovery man!

Units assigned in sub-level commands do appear also in the root (something that does not happen in other Military Commands Categories. Am I right if I consider this Category incorrectly done? I also think there are categories missing that should help reorganize this a bit better? The level of sub commands can be huge, and I do not even know which is the best way to order them. I tried to make this a general query, but have no idea on how to do it.--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 10:32, 18 July 2019 (EDT) == Proposed Organization of the Star League Forces (final) == I've created and explained a proposal here: [[:Category talk:Star League Defense Force Commands]], could you review and share your insights?--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 08:56, 7 August 2019 (EDT) ==Medical Matters 2== I'm still here, and still editing! I had an MRI scan of my insides, post-operation, back in November. I'm currently "in the clear", but my specialist notes that I'm a high-risk likelihood of recurrent cancer. Yeah, it ''was'' renal cancer. After 11 hours on the operating table, 18 units of transfused blood and an induced coma, I came 'round with a scar across my middle the length of my forearm. When the surgeon tells you that it was the scariest thing he's ever had to do... OK, that stops you in your tracks. [[User:Nuclear-Fridge|Nuclear-Fridge]] ([[User talk:Nuclear-Fridge|talk]]) 07:34, 20 January 2020 (EST) :In the Clear for now is better than the alternative so I would still count that as a win. Glad you are back with us and doing ok.--[[User:Dmon|Dmon]] ([[User talk:Dmon|talk]]) 08:09, 20 January 2020 (EST) :: Geez, muh-man, that's quite the challenge. But you did it with your eyes closed!

Hope you're well, let me know if you're working on any projects you want help with...
