Welcome
Sign
As a courtesy for other Editors, it is a BattleTechWiki guideline to sign your talk page and user talk page posts. To do so simply add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comments; you can also use the 3rd button on the left of the edit bar () to automatically place it in the location of your cursor. Your user name (or IP address, if you are editing anonymously) and the date will be automatically added along with a timestamp. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion). For further info see the talk page guidelines. Thank you.
- ClanWolverine101, please /do/ sign your comments on talk pages. If you don't, someone (usually me), has to do the research to find out who it was that made the comment. Thank you. --Revanche (talk|contribs) 05:02, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
- Apologies - I missed the appropriate command to do so. I'll reread your protocols. ClanWolverine101
Cosara Weaponries
Evening, ClanWolverine101. I saw your removal of the statement regarding Cosara Weaponries from the Northwind Highlanders article. Because I don't want to discourage a new Editor, especially one working so hard as you, I'm not gonna dispute that, but it is generally our policy to post a {{citation needed}} tag after something that doesn't seem right to you. That way, multiple Editors have the opportunity to research the fact, rather than just losing the information. If someone hasn't updated the statement with a verifiable citation, then you are free to delete it. That tag, and others, can be found in the left-side column in the Template gallery. Thanks. --Revanche (talk|contribs) 02:08, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
- Understood, and thank you. I started having second thoughts about my original note, thinking maybe it was in regards to the Cosara factories on Terra, not Northwind that I was thinking of. Regardless, I would not have zapped it arbitrarily if it had been someone else's posting.ClanWolverine101
- Well, shoot - I'd never just delete a section of someone else's work without at least sticking something specific in the discussion page. When I think something is incorrect, I usually just post to "Talk", and see if I get a response. ClanWolverine101
Random Act of Appreciation Award
ClanWolverine101, I grant you the Random Act of Appreciation Award for your numerous improvement edits this past weekend, especially in regards to cleaning up citations, such as those you made to 145th Jaguar Regulars (Clan Smoke Jaguar):
I took the liberty of adding an awards board to your main page. You might want to check your user count and self-award yourself an Edit Count ribbon after a few more edits. Thanks. --Revanche (talk|contribs) 01:56, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you!!! ClanWolverine101
Notable Pilots Project
So something I'm planning on focusing on is hitting all the 'VIP' type bios and listing what mechs they were known to use, in the standard section. Conversely, I would go to the mech pages and add the 'VIP' types as 'Notable Pilots'. Does this sound good? ClanWolverine101
- Yep. But it would have to be a really notable person, because we don't want to spam the 'Mech entries with pilot names. Most "notable pilots" from the TROs are in fact nobodies who may get their own IC character entry on BTW, but do not deserve a mention as a notable pilot. Further, I feel (but this is just my personal opinion) that the 'Mech and its notable pilot should be identified with each other to some notable degree. Natasha Kerensky and her Warhammer are an immediate match; by contrast, Sun Tzu Liao piloted numerous designs at various points but is not really associated with any particular 'Mech. Frabby 21:12, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, I agree. When I say 'notable pilots' I do mean significant characters from the novels and such, who actually had a connection to the machine. Sun-Tzu was never much of a mechwarrior, so I wouldn't bother with him at all. ClanWolverine101
Mechforce Quarterly
I gather from your question at Talk:Hansen's_Roughriders that you were a member of the MFNA for a time at least, and also have the magazines? May I kindly request that you look over my MechForce article and check if you can add something, and perhaps also create the articles on MechForce North America, 'Mech (magazine) and MechForce Quarterly which are redlinked so far. Frabby 20:38, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
- How I wish I could. :( Sadly, they are in a box in a pile of boxes in a closet in a basement in parent's house 1,000 miles away. I probably would have needed help referencing the article. Its just that when I read the entry that the Roughriders never fought in the clan invasion, I suddenly remembered that scenario. I miss the old magazine, though. I even got paid $20 for a submitted scenario. Don't think they ran it though. Maybe I could hunt those mags down eventually. ClanWolverine101
