Welcome
Hy
Hy BrokenMnemonic, welcome to sarna.net, you can move your most of your New User Log discription to your own User page, and leave a minor description on the New User Log page.--Doneve 12:34, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
Welcome, BrokenMnemonic
I just read your New User log entry and it seems you're a great example of our target audience. I really appreciate that you want to 'give back' to the community what it provides and using what ever skills interest you do just that. Trust me: minor edits are no small added value to a wiki. In fact, I'd say that's probably how many people get there start, as they learn how a wiki works.
Additionally, registering (vice editing as an IP) is more than us getting our grips around you, much more. Now you get credit for your deeds, as well as the opportunity for award ribbons and more open discussions with the other members of the community here. We're glad to put a name to a face. Welcome!--Revanche (talk|contribs) 13:53, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
Substantial Addition award
Good morning, BrokenMnemonic. Still way too early for you to get your Time-In-Service (TIS) and Edit Count (EC) ribbons, but I did see the value you added to Always Faithful, which definitely deserves recognition:
I don't give these out too often, but this is the 2nd one today. I added an awards board to your user page as well, so be sure to add your TIS and EC ribbons, when the time comes. Good job. --Revanche (talk|contribs) 14:31, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
- Wow, thank you :) I've not finished editing the Always Faithful page though, because there's detail from the 20 Year Update and I think the Field Manual: Free Worlds League that needs incorporating, and I've not checked my 4th Succession War Atlases to confirm what they were up to then - should the award wait until I've finished the main edit? I'd not want to step on any toes. I'm delighted to be able to help! BrokenMnemonic 17:18, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
- No need to wait! Editor Awards can be given out by anyone seeing something positive being done (or just completed) and should be given out then. No nomination process is necessary (and you can give them out, too). Now, if someone else awards you for the same effort, you have the option of declining the award; just let them know why.--Revanche (talk|contribs) 17:34, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
- Saw your summary note: it's more than ok. Both the TIS and EC ribbons are automatic awards, as there is no real way for other editors to ensure people get them; its left up to you, the individual. Good job.--Revanche (talk|contribs) 10:30, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
Year Pages
Hy, please take a look on Policy:Year Pages, great work on Crater Cobras.--Doneve 13:11, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
- Whoops, my apologies for breaching the policy on year pages - I've read through the policy and will stick to it in future.BrokenMnemonic 13:15, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
Casual Edit award
I'm well impressed and quite happy with the work you're doing here. As an incentive to continue to improve articles, have a Casual Edit award:

- Thank you! That's very cool :) I saw a few of your posts on the CBT forum regarding editing on the wiki, which is one of the things that persuaded me to wander over and start poking things... BrokenMnemonic 16:25, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
Hy
Hy please dont delete added references and infoboxes, when you have not the sourcebooks, leave a note on the target page, i double check the references and talk then to you, thanks.--Doneve 10:37, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Unknown Planet
Okay, let's talk thru this, to see if we understand things the same way. On Tyrrhenia, you provided cites for the Unknown Planet entries. In your own words, what information did you provide there? What does that source information tell you about the planet?--Revanche (talk|contribs) 16:27, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
