Welcome

Welcome, Doneve, to BattleTechWiki!

We look forward to your contributions and want to help you get off to a good strong start. Hopefully you will soon join the army of BattleTech Editors! If you need help formatting the pages, visit the manual of style. For general questions go to the Help section or the FAQ. If you can't find your answer there, please ask an Admin.

Additional tips
Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the wiki:

• For policies and guidelines, see The Five Core Policies of BattleTechWiki and the BTW Policies. Another good place to check out is our market of Projects, to see how the smaller communities within BTW do things in their particular niche areas.
• Each and every page (articles, policies, projects, images, etc.) has its very own discussion/talk page, found on the tab line at the top of the page. This is a great place to find out what the community is discussing along that subject and what previous issues have already been solved.
• If you want to play around with your new wiki skills, the Sandbox is for you. Don't worry: you won't break anything. A great resource for printing out is the Wiki Cheat Sheet.
• If you're not registered, then please consider doing so. At the very least, you'll have a UserPage that you own, rather than sharing one with the community.
• Also consider writing something about yourself on your UserPage (marked as "Doneve" at the top of the page, though only do this if you're registered). You'll go from being a 'redshirt' to a 'blueshirt,' with the respect of a more permanent member.
  • This is really helpful for the admins, as it gives your account that touch of "humanity" that assists us in our never-ending battle with spambots.
• For your first few edits on the wiki, please do not add any URLs (which can be an indicator of SPAM).
• Consider introducing yourself on our Discord server.
• In your Preferences, under the edit tab, consider checking Add pages I create to my watchlist and Add pages I edit to my watchlist, so that you can see how your efforts have affected the community. Check back on following visits by clicking on watchlist.
• If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random button in the sidebar, or check out the List of Wanted Pages. Or even go to Special Pages to see what weird stuff is actually tracked by this wiki.
• Please sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes (~~~~) or by clicking on the circled button in this image; this will automatically produce your name (or IP address, if you are editing anonymously) and the date.

Again, welcome to Sarna's BattleTechWiki!

Hi Doneve. I am confused why you removed the RS:3085 Cutting the Edge wikilink from article. There was no information in the article violate the moratorium period. I don't believe mentioning the Record Sheet book would break moratorium if listed in the bibliography. -- Wrangler 20:42, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

I think, we don't put publications as biblio link, there have not the moratorium expired, some people where confused about this, it is my mention, but it is a good goal to start a discussion about this theme, thanks.--Doneve 20:53, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Infantry Infobox 2

Doneve, hold off on using the Infantry Infobox for a while. I'm still squishing bugs.--Mbear 16:34, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

No problem, i have other projects to finished, my intention was to bring at first a Infantry Unit Infobox, to sarna.net, thanks.--Doneve 16:37, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Infantry infobox 3

OK. It's ready now.--Mbear 16:45, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

I've removed the Equipment row from the infobox per your request.--Mbear 20:11, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Looking for an Image

Hey Doneve - In the Wolf Clan Sourcebook, there is a picture of an Atlas going down against some Elementals. This is the "death scene" of Selvin Kelswa, and I wanted to add it to his article. Might you have access to it? Thanks. ClanWolverine101 04:45, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Hey ClanWolverine101, I find the picture and loaded it up => File:Oncemithymech.png. Enjoy it and have fun. Neuling 06:05, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! ClanWolverine101 15:52, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

another infobox, please

Hey Doneve, tnx first for your great help by the development of the infantry infobox. With this fast success in mind another idea emerged from my mind. I will inlcude the data into a infobox

Weapon / Item
Cost
Availability
Introduced (Affiliation)
Extinction
Reintroduced (Affiliation)

In my opinion it will improve the knowledge of technology and how to use it. I know this would be a great task but you now my, how bigthe task i will do it until its finished. TNX Neuling 07:15, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Verwenden Sie bitte die Statistiken im seitlichen Stab für Spielstatistiken wie Kosten, Verwendbarkeit, Rüstungsdurchgriff und Unterseitenschaden eher als, sie heraus im regelmäßigen Text habend. z.Z. versuchen wir, diese Funktion zu erhalten.

References / Bio Pages

Hey Doneve - Why drop the references to bio pages? Example : Selvin Kelswa. The purpose of putting those up is to tell people that there is an actual bio on the character in that book and on that page. Is this policy? ClanWolverine101 03:39, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Hy CW101, take a look on this Help:References, i want to bring all needed or missed references to one wiki standard, and put to needed setions the ref. notes.--Doneve 09:25, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

AHHHHH

Ahh, i lost all of my database yesterday, i works on sarna.net (and a total system interuption) occured, was this a sarna.net problem. Or may i was hacked, any thoughts, thanks.--Doneve 10:46, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Hey Doneve - Got a Kester Hsiun Chi pic for me? He should be in the old House Kurita sourcebook. Thanks! ClanWolverine101 01:13, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Canon Maps

Hi Doneve, hope your doing well. I recently noticed edited canon maps that were originally produced by Øystein Tvedten. I realize your modifing these maps, please still credit the artist who produced them. The sourcebook clearly credits Mr. Tvedten as being only Map maker in the book. I've all added the notes to these modified map images, that they are edited, not quite the original. I've also added missing category info. I'm sorry if sound rude, but please make sure you keep adding categories, artist info, regardless if its modified. Its not quite fandom, but its still should be noted you changed picture. If you think i'm wrong, please ask one the administrators about this. Take care -- Wrangler 03:58, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

No you are not wrong, thanks for your catch.--Doneve 21:58, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Skye Maps

Hi Doneve, what do you think about the gains and loses of the province over the years? I think it is helpful to know which planets are former territory and was reconquered over the centuries from the DCMS/FWLM. Neuling 13:46, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Very good idea, but please talk to ClanWolverine what he think about this, if you put the info in the Federation of Skye article, or you create a new article, then we linking it to the proper page.--Doneve 13:57, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Neuling - Certainly, that sort of perspective is a minor drawback to cropping the maps, but cropping gives you a better sense of the growth of the district itself. The original maps, of course, are snap shots taken immediately following each Succession War. As to the Federation, I have a convo going on Talk:Isle of Skye that I think starts to address that issue. ClanWolverine101 14:52, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Opinions

Hey Doneve, I will discuss 2 opinions with. First what is your opinion to my rework with the tables and Second can you please give me a resaon why you don't anwser me. I think I had novething doing wrong or exits other reasons that are anknown to me... Neuling 14:14, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Notes within References

Evening, Doneve: I thought I'd share this example with you regarding references, since -like me- you do a lot of corrective edits to references. In this case, we have the source title in italics, comma, page number, comma, source article title in "quotations". The source article title is copied exactly as it is used in the source material. If notes by the member are added to the reference, we put in a colon (:) and then the note. No periods (.) are used to finish it off. Does that make sense?--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 21:59, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Hy Revanche, good catch, i agree with you, and i think we can use it.--Doneve 22:08, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Great, thanks!--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 22:36, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Variants + Brigades

Hey Doneve, thnaks for such kind words. Please take a look at the Marauder - page and to the DCMS - page and give my your Oinion about it. Neuling 12:09, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Hy ich hab mir die seiten angeschaut, gefällt mir sehr sehr gut, mal schaun was Revanche und Mbear zu den Mech seiten sagen, wiegesagt sehr sehr gut arbeit :).--Doneve 12:11, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Danke, ich hätte nie gedacht das meine arbeit solche Auswirkungen hätte. Vorallem der zuspruch ist überwältigend. Hast du vielleicht noch Ideen wo diese Tabellen anwenden könnte?Neuling 12:13, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Also erstens, finde ich die tabellen haben grosse auswirkenungen in der Manufacturing Centers section, die seiten wirken cleaner und aufgeräumter, zweitens beende doch erstmal die ganzen House seiten wie du es beim Draconis Combine gemacht hast, und dann ist da noch die Planets section, da gibt es auch sehr viel zu tun, und drittens ich mach mir mal danken wo wir die tabellen noch gebrauchen können!--Doneve 12:19, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Planet rewrites

Doneve, have we established consensus on replacing the Owner History section of planets with a single column table? I thought we weren't doing that.--Mbear 17:40, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

No, there was no consensus, i forgot it, i stard it on the WikiProject Planet page, sorry.--Doneve 17:48, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

No problem. Just wanted to be sure that we were all on the same page.--Mbear 18:14, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Owner History CSS

Doneve,

I need your help testing something. Please paste this CSS code in your Custom CSS file.

Your custom CSS file can be found by clicking the My Preferences link, selecting Skin and then clicking the Custom CSS link next to your selected theme. Edit the page by following the link, then paste this code in there.

/* This is a CSS comment. It will be ignored by the parser.*/
/* Find an unordered list inside a DIV tag that has a CSS class of ownerhistory. */
div.ownerhistory ul 
{
	border-width:1px;
	border-style:solid;
	border-color:#000;/* this is set via hexidecimal values, but can use RGB as well. See http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_colors.asp */
	width:250px;
}

/* Modify the items in the unordered list contained in the DIV tag with CSS class ownerhistory. */
div.ownerhistory ul li 
{
	/* Remove the bullets */
	list-style-type:none;
	/*Set up border*/
	border-width:1px;
	border-style:solid;
	border-color:#000;/* this is set via hexidecimal values, but can use RGB as well. See http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_colors.asp */
	
	/* center the text */
	text-align:center;
	
	/* close the gaps between list items (If this isn't here, you get weird white spaces between the list items */
	margin:0;
	
	/* 
	If the cells are too "tight" around the text, uncomment these lines to give the text more "breathing room."
	I've specified the sides individually here so you can tweak to your preferences. (To uncomment just remove the / * and * / from the lines below
	*/
	
	/*padding-top: 2px;*/
	/*padding-right: 2px;*/
	/*padding-bottom: 2px;*/
	/*padding-left:2px;*/
}

Now visit the Shiloh page. You should see the Owner History section in a pseudo-table format.--Mbear 12:11, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Hy Mbear, thanks for the code, it works, please can you change the box colour, then we have the same colour like the nearby planets table,thanks. --Doneve 12:38, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

To change the color, just open the CSS file you created earlier and replace the #000 with #aaa.--Mbear 12:56, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

OK. Now for part 2. On each planet, you'll need to add some code so the CSS knows to apply itself. Go to a planet page and find the Owner History section. Put this line between the Owner History section and the first item in the list:

<div class="ownerhistory">

at the end of the list, put a closing div tag, like this:

</div>

That markup, combined with the CSS I provided, should give you the formatting you're looking for without disrupting the presentation for other users.

And if you'd let Neuling know about this, I'd appreciate it.--Mbear 12:54, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Okidoky, i talk to Neuling about the CSS code.--Doneve 13:11, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Ok i change the colour code in the CSS code, but it don't work, where is my failur.--Doneve 13:46, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

What part are you trying to change? The outer border of the list or the lines between each entry in the list?--Mbear 15:28, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

I changed the border and lines!--Doneve 15:32, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Is that what you want? Or do you...OK. Nevermind. Just remember this:

To change the border update the div.ownerhistory ul border-color value.

To change the lines between items update the div.ownerhistory ul li border-color value.

That should do it.--Mbear 16:49, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

I changed the border colour to border-color:#D0D0D0 in the code, it don't works, i see allways the white style you are added in your CSS code.

Thnx for your information, I will think about it seriously.Neuling 14:53, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Composition History

Hey, will the changes include the entire military commands or only the DCMS? Neuling 16:31, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Planetary coords/Teamspam IS Atlas

I must say I am not very happy about the IS Atlas being linked as a reference for system coords. For one, it is not a canonical source and should not be made up to be one. It is just a meta-source. Also, I feel that references should link to an article on this wiki about whatever the reference source is, not to an external data repository. Just sayin'. :) Frabby 11:43, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

I know, i revamp at the moment the nearby planets with a wikitable, and removed the IS Atlas links.--Doneve 11:50, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Zeta Battalion

Hey Doneve - got a Unit Logo for Zeta Battalion? :) ClanWolverine101 05:28, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Request for factions

Hey Mbear, I have a questions about the different factions an their unique equipment availability. I think it is useful to mark every variant with icons or something this way to know how has access to the machines. And could we expande the space between the variant to see where the beginning is and where the end. Neuling 19:22, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Neuling, I think that's what the categories are for at the bottom of the unit pages. If a faction is listed, it has access to the 'Mech. A 'Mech with no factions listed is available to everyone.

Wait, I just re-read what you wrote. OK. So an example of your proposal would be putting a small Federated Suns logo in front of those variants listed as being a Federated Suns unit? Ummm...adding an icon to every variant is going to be a big task, and possibly discourage contributions from new editors.--Mbear 19:56, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Hy Mbear, i read this and i like the idea of Neuling, i would do this (give me the icons), and the hughe task can started.--Doneve 21:24, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Well, there are two problems with your request Doneve:

1. Consensus has not been reached (as far as I know). Neuling, please make your suggestion on the Project BattleMechs Talk page so others can contribute.
2. I don't have icon images yet. Until consensus is reached, I'm not going to make them. (I'll wait until I know the project has accepted the idea before making them.)--Mbear 01:16, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Military Project

Hey Doneve, please give my a short response to the forces overview of the discussion site of the military project. The DCMS table include the entier available forces deployment from housebook kurita (3025), war of 3039 (3040), 20 years update (3050), objectiv raids (3054), field manual dcms (3059), field manual updates (3067) and field report dcms. I think it is useful to see the developement of the dcms through the different time periods and when I counted right the Kanrei have only 30 regiments left at the end of the Jihad. The war had begun with 68 regiments. Neuling 21:23, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Hy Neuling, give me a while to check out this, and how we can meet the wiki standard, thanks.--Doneve 21:30, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

I have done the ref work but what is the best place for this kind of information. The manufacturer side is not the best because many variants are only field refits or individual modifications. Neuling 20:48, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

PDF "Covers"

I see you've been adding "cover" images for BattleCorps files. Hm. I appreciate your zeal, but really... what do we need these for? BC stories have little if any artwork, and these images certainly aren't any notable cover art. Frabby 17:53, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Hy Frabby, ok i stop it, i think it was good idea!--Doneve 17:56, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

I wouldn't (and couldn't) forbid you to do this if you want, but I don't think there is any point in making up plain text covers by copying the first page when there simply is no cover art. The simple fact is that BattleCorps doesn't have cover art for its stories. 07:28, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Formating

Hey, I recogize that some users have difficults with the capitals in my latest post. I will rework this with in the next days. Because of the references I will also explaine for what the terms stands for and as a side note. Many of the technology sites like Ferro-Fibrous have in the first postet table no references only the later addition include them. I will increase the quality of my work in the future. See ya next time... Neuling 20:59, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Updated Game Rules CSS

Doneve,

With the new skins that are available, we need to update the way we're doing game rules sections. Instead of

<div style="background-color:#FFFFE0; border:1px solid #666; margin:1.5em 0 .5em 0; padding:0 .5em 0 1em; -moz-border-radius:.5em">

please use:

<div class="gamerules">

This allows the House skins to apply an appropriate color to the rules section, instead of everyone getting Davion gold.

Thanks!--Mbear 17:38, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Ah okidoky, thanks.--Doneve 21:33, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Holy smokes! Did you update everything? Wow! Here's your third Casual Edit award (I know it wasn't casual, but you deserve something more than your 11th all purpose award.) --Mbear 11:38, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Creature infobox information

Hy Mbear, i hope you can help by this problem, the discussion is copyed from Frabby's talk page.--Doneve 21:07, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Hy Frabby, you fix the Creature Infobox, when i added a species image, ok it is shown in it, but i found after the save a broken infobox, take a look on the Ghost Bear (species) page, thanks. --Doneve 00:10, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

The InfoBox doesn't look broken to me - can you specify the problem? Frabby 08:36, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

The horizontal closing line in the top of the infobox, i don't see it.--Doneve 09:14, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Ah, now I see what you mean. Problem is, this is the same for all new infoboxes we have (and I think it was always like this). Only, on most of them you don't see it because very few images are pure white, most have a dark background. The frame is there on the (old-style) BattleMech infoboxes though so it is possible to have hone. I have no idea how to arrange a frame atop the image, perhaps ask Nic or Mbear?

It looks like the top border of the infobox is missing. To confirm or disprove Frabby's theory, I substituted an award image for the ghost bear image and saw the same problem. The borders to either side of the image appeared, but the top didn't. Still investigating.--Mbear 11:05, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

The creature infobox is using the infoBoxNew CSS class, while the battlemech infobox is using the infobox CSS class. infoBoxNew has explicitly set the border-top property to 0px, which makes it disappear. When I changed the creature infobox to use infobox the border appeared. (It was in the wrong color, but it was progress.) So it looks like the infoBoxNew class needs to be updated to remove the 0px top border. I don't know what infobox templates are using that class however, so I haven't made the change or requested it.--Mbear 11:16, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Cities

Doneve - I would propose that instead of giving each city its own article, we instead put together sub-sections of the planet articles. There's rarely enough material for a proper city article. ClanWolverine101 20:16, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

copied this discussion talk from New Avalons talk page

Create the temp. articles for the city's later.--Doneve 11:41, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Doneve - Respectfully, most (all?) of those cities are probably not worthy of their own article. You could certainly argue that Avalon City is notable, but it world still probably be best to write brief descriptions of locations on a planet within the article. Just a thought? ClanWolverine101 06:04, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

CW101, BTW strives to record every fact gather-able on any subject within BattleTech. Unlike Wikipedia, we don't get into issues of notability and we do favor redlinks, in the hopes a writer will come along to make it blue. While I have absolutely no issues with your recommendation to provide write-ups on these cities within the New Avalon article, I'm also equally fine with redlinks that point to a non-existent article that has the potential to provide more detail than allowable here. (Caveat: I'm not a proponent of empty placeholder articles. For example, someone creating an article over a minor New Avalon city that only indicated a reference to the source material; I'd much prefer a simple statement at the least.)--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 14:41, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Revanche, for your answer to ClanWolverine 101-Doneve 14:50, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

And now to give you a correct response, the new generated city articles falls under BattleTechWiki:Project Unfinished Book, as second i am in work to cleand up this section, but i need some time, and as second my fluff writing is in work, and i think, i catch Rev's Unfinished Book Project idea.--Doneve 20:37, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

I have added to the discussion at Talk:New Avalon. May we keep the conversation there? --Scaletail 23:20, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

I would like to clarify : I never claimed the information wasn't relevant. It certainly is, especially given how many battles have taken place on New Avalon. My simple claim is that this info would be better served in the main New Avalon article itself. That's all. I do not view this as a redlink/bluelink issue. If Doneve or someone wanted to, they could create redirects to the appropriate city subsection within the planet's article. Does this make more sense? ClanWolverine101 01:06, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Spam

Hello Doneve, please delete Live Casino - How To Choose An Online Casino‎ and the user account Livecasino. Tnx Neuling 05:12, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Please do not blank spam pages

...because it is possible that the spambots monitor their spam pages for edits, to determine how active a site is. Blanking the page may worsen the problem. Frabby 10:25, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Ah ok, but in the last days the site became many attacks, how we can handle this problem.--Doneve 10:43, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

I patrol the recent changes every day anyways, and when I see a spammer it gets deleted and its IP blocked. That's about best we can do. Normally, such kinds of spambot attacks will run out after a while. Frabby 12:49, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

3023

Regarding 3023, "Fuhito Tetsuhara was assassinated." was incorrect. Fuhito lived until at least the War of 3039, and probably much longer. ClanWolverine101 23:01, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Ohhh, thanks for your talk, he was assigned to the 17th Benjamin Regulars, and also thanks for your catch.--Doneve 23:07, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Yeah. Aftor Galtor in 3025, he assigned to Theo in the Legion of Vega. ClanWolverine101 23:42, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Have we any content to integrate this in the Legion of Vega page, and as second which Legion?--Doneve 23:52, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Taurian Concordat Update

IT IS DONE!! All rulers, regents, assorted persons and events of significance to the Taurian Concordat (prior to 3060) have been named, paged and referenced! WHEW that took longer that I thought it would but real life jumped up in the way. If you or one of the other admins could give this long labor of faction love a once (or heck twice!) over to make sure it meets this Wiki's standards I would be most grateful.Deeppockets 23:01, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Alpha Regiment

Hey Doneve - can you provide a unit insignia for Alpha Regiment (Wolf's Dragoons)? Thanks! ClanWolverine101 03:45, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Done :).--Doneve 07:16, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Shiro Kurita

Hey, I stumbled across his portrait in House Kurita (The Draconis Combine), and thought I should bring him in. However, you're the 'picture guy' and thought I ask you to do it. Can you?--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 19:14, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Ok i look what i can do for your.--Doneve 19:34, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Wow...

Talk:Battle for the Imperial Palace (3068)...you're good! I was just coming in to do that! I'm glad you stalk me so closely!--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 02:14, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

He he, stalking spiders ;).--Doneve 03:29, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Planet categorizations

I was going to ask you if you'd help me. So we don't step on each other, I'm gonna start at the end of the alphabet and work backwards from that direction, ok?--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 20:59, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Okidoky, i work forwards :).--21:40, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Hy Rev, the "A" section category is done.--Doneve 07:56, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Good, good. Don't go back and do the 'A' section again, but try and list the planet categories in alphabetical order. Ex: Lyran Alliance, Lyran Commonwealth, Republic of the Sphere, Terran Hegemony. Thanks!--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 12:45, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Okay, now I'm starting on 'W'. I saw we have two competing categories: Category:Word of Blake Planets & Category:Word of Blake Protectorate Planets. I'm of the opinion that they should just go under WoB Planets, where I've described the category as planets under the "control" of WoB, rather than within boundaries, like most Inner Sphere categories. What do you think?--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 13:27, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Okay, WoB Planets is a good compromiss.--Doneve 13:33, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, Doneve.--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 13:40, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Hy again, please can you delete the Category:Word of Blake Protectorate Planets page, by my permission, thanks.--Doneve 13:45, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Another thing: Periphery planets. I just came across a planet (Waypoint) that listed 'Periphery' as an owner, where clearly that is not a state. So far, I don't list them, because it seems that we should then put all the other planets in an 'Inner Sphere Planets' or 'Clan Planets' category.

What I'm thinking is this: ALL planets go in Category:Planets and in (at least) one state category (ex: Category: Capellan Confederation Planets, Category: Clan Ice Hellion Planets, Category: Terran Hegemony Planets, etc.). Some go into 'special' non-state categories (such as Category: Chaos March Planets). If a planet was never in a multi-planet state (or special category), such as Randis IV, which is a single-planet state, then it remains solely in Category:Planets. In other words, I think we should kill Category: Periphery Planets and Category: Clan Planets, as those planets will fall under state categories (ex: Category: Capellan Confederation Planets, Category: Clan Ice Hellion Planets). What say you?--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 19:24, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Good idea, i agree with you, and the panets category confusion becomes a little cleanup.--Doneve 20:02, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Excellent; that was easy! I'll make the changes to those articles.--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 20:04, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Okidoki ;).--Doneve 20:07, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Oooh, ooh, better idea: I'll make the specific state & Clan cats as children of the Periphery & Clan cats. That way, the categories don't get killed and if someone comes across them, they can still find the state cats.--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 20:14, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Doneve, I hate to do this to you, but it'd be better to start now than go back later. BrokenMnemonic suggested we put singlular planets in Category: Independent Planets. I like that because -like the Chaos March worlds- they are an exception to the normal multi-state planets. If you don't mind, let's go back though the ones we've done already (A-D for you, U-Z for me) and anything other than Chaos March planets that were ever by themselves get added to Category: Independent Planets. Is that okay with you?--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 20:03, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Hmm i agree at the moment, but i think we leave a note on the planets page when they become independent status, i can live with this.--Doneve 20:08, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Oh, yes, absolutely. I have 'big' plans for better organizing each planet article, but I feel the categorization you and I are doing now are key to making any such efforts successful. Thanks, Doneve. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 20:15, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Dude! You're on 'M' already. Wow! Almost done.--Rev ^{(talk|contribs)} 13:46, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Yeah man, i must finish 'M' & 'N' and then comes the next phase of the planets overhaul.--Doneve 13:57, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I'm working on 'N' now; when you finish up with 'M', please contact me. I'm gonna have you run Phase 0 by yourself, and I'd like to give you some guidance when it comes time.--Rev ^{(talk|contribs)} 18:10, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Okidoky, Phase 0 can stard in the next days ;).----Doneve 18:12, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm Done!! Thanks so much for helping me prepare for the Overhaul. I'd probably be less than halfway complete, if I didn't have you doing so much of it.

Let me know when you're done, and I'll start prepping you on Phase 0.--Rev ^{(talk|contribs)} 19:08, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Template: PlanetOverhaul

Morning, Doneve. Please don't use the new template just yet. You and I definitely need to finish the pre-overhaul categorization first and then we'll organize the roll-out of this tag. Thanks, man. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 16:56, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Factoid

Did you know that -in your (almost) 2 years here- you have an edit count of about 52 edits a day average, while I, with almost 5 years, don't even get to 4? Wow, Doneve. You're an editing machine.--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 18:57, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

He he tanks ;), i had tomorrow a total system shut down, and lost a lot of my archive, ahhh, i now built up my arcive.--Doneve 14:53, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Userbar

Good choice. I was wondering which one you'd choose. There may be plenty more coming for the other projects, and since you seemed to be involved in so many, you might need to make a userbar section!--Rev ^{(talk|contribs)} 01:26, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Why not, i concentrate me in next time always to our planet overhaul project, and the wiki technology project, like the Jump Jet, and Fusion Engine entieres, oh and i forgot the Manufacturing Centers section, but there also embedet in the other two projects.--Doneve 01:32, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Oh i want to say, I WANT A MANUFACTURING CENTERS Userbar, (new WikiProject, but at this time, also a idea by myself, we have enough work on the two others) ;).--Doneve 01:36, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I've already put in the current order, but I'll add that one with the BTW Cartographer and BTW Writer ones. Good idea.

Check out my column bar. That seems to work nice.--Rev ^{(talk|contribs)} 01:40, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Yeah very nice, i like it.--Doneve 01:42, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Maps

Evening, Doneve. I was looking at the source material for some of the maps you posted (like File:CC2366.jpg), to see if I could import higher resolution ones. However, I saw you cropped the non-Capellan worlds from the image. How did you do that? Was it just a matter of erasing it, or did you capture on the the Capellan worlds? Thanks.--Rev ^{(talk|contribs)} 01:00, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Morning Rev, my intension was to show the Capellan Confederation in his year periode, only capellan planets and (lost planets, you can see on the images), i think it is helpfull in our planets overhauling project, ...planet categorization etc.--Doneve 01:08, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, but how did you do it? Did you have to erase the non-Capellan planets or did you have a program that captured only the Capellan?--Rev ^{(talk|contribs)} 01:11, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

I make a screen shot of the map and uploaded the file in Paint.net and manipulate the maps, i hope this helps.--Doneve 12:53, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Ok...it might. I want to upload a whole lot fo maps soon and I'm looking for a quick but reliable method.--Rev ^{(talk|contribs)} 14:44, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Ah ok, iam very interrested, what for maps you uploade, oh and a another question, what we do with the Category:Maps Gallery, there is a lot of mess, how can we handle this, what are you think.--Doneve 15:32, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

I don't think we need to do anything with it. It could be better organized, but that means changing the names of the files. The category is doing its job.--Rev ^{(talk|contribs)} 23:02, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Good deal, but you must change the file names, i dont have the permission.--Doneve 23:04, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Ugh. Too much effort for little value (just to organize a category).--Rev ^{(talk|contribs)} 00:41, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

How did you delete the non-Capellan planets? Did you just wave the eraser over the whole map or is there a quicker method?--Rev ^{(talk|contribs)} 00:41, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Ha Ha you are right, the eraser was my best friend, yeah a little bit work, but the images looks prety.--Doneve 00:55, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Ah, okay. Thanks.--Rev ^{(talk|contribs)} 01:32, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Skye Guards Insignia

Doneve - Do you happen to have the Skye Guards insignia? It was used in Historical Turning Points: Glengarry, and I was hoping to use it for an article. Thanks. ClanWolverine101 21:57, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

No problem, is it for a new article or witch you provided it in an existing, talk to me or when i see your new article i upload it.--Doneve 22:06, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Its a new one I'm working on. If you have a link, that would be perfect. ClanWolverine101 08:50, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Vandal Cop Award

Great turnaround, Doneve. You usually don't see children posting on here, but your actions made their disruptions, well, non-disruptive. Yet another Vandal Cop award:

Thanks, Doneve. --Rev ^{(talk|contribs)} 22:19, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks man for my 3rd. I know it was a little catch, when i see the spam bot attacks, in last time.--Doneve 22:21, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Image Import award

Doneve, you have been nominated for this award by BrokenMnemonic, per the following: "...for the work being put into the reference gallery of map images for the Planets Project. Doneve is doing far more than just cropping images and uploading them; each of the images is being adjusted by hand to show only the subject nations, with borders, arrows, legends and other such devices removed. There are more than 30 images already created and uploaded by Doneve, and in the vast majority of cases they are the first dedicated map of that region uploaded into the general maps gallery as well. While there's a lot of work still to be done, I think Doneve has already made a big investment of time and effort into producing legible, high-quality maps for use by the project team and the wiki users in general."
With very little consideration necessary, I grant the nomination and present the Admins' Image Import Award.

Good job, thanks for the effort and keep charging.--Rev ^{(talk|contribs)} 17:19, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks guys.--Doneve 17:37, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Free Worlds Guards

Hey Doneve - Do you have a brigade insignia for the Free Worlds Guards? I've seen it in CamoSpecs among other places. Their article page could use it. ClanWolverine101 15:49, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks

Hey, Doneve, I just wanted to thank you for cleaning up after me. I haven't edited any wiki in a long time 'til now, so the help is appreciated. Good luck/have a nice day/etc c:— The preceding unsigned comment was posted by name (talk • contribs) .

Casual Edit Award

Hi Doneve, thank you for sorting out the bibliography links in my article on the Acala Pact - I typed that up last thing before bed and was too preoccupied with checking the text to check that I'd actually got the formatting right throughout. I'd like to give you a casual edit award for it, as it makes the article look much more professional now. BrokenMnemonic 07:08, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks.--Doneve 07:47, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Planet Tagging

Based on what I found in Handbook: Major Periphery States, Handbook: House Liao and Handbook: House Steiner there are going to be a fair number of worlds within the Federated Suns, Lyran Commonwealth and Free Worlds League that needed to be added to the database, and that vanished during the 1st - 3rd Succession Wars. Would it be worth me spending a few days adding as many as I can into the database, or would it be better to finish phase 0 tagging those planets we've already got, and then add the new worlds in using the new template? I'm tempted to start adding the worlds in now, while it's a fairly fast process. BrokenMnemonic 13:25, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

I agree with you, add new planets, and i finish the phase O tagging, so far as i can.--Doneve 13:27, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey, Doneve: I saw you were using the extrapolated coordinates to update the current articles (thanks for using the tag!). Letting you know that coordinates are Phase 2 for each article and they will still need to be checked by each team member, so it's not really saving any time. Feel free to continue, but the Phase 0 tagging is much more important to the project, so we can start on Phase 1 as soon as it's done.--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 19:10, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Upps, you're right, we must at first uploading and install new maps, i hold of at the moment, and go on with phase 0 tagging.--Doneve 19:21, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Moratorium

Doneve, I saw you removed the moratorium banner from Era Report: 3062 a couple of days ago, after it expired. When you do that in the future, please also let an admin know (preferably Mbear) so that a news item can go out informing interested editors of its availability. Thanks. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 19:15, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

The Blake Documents

Doneve, do you have a digital copy of The Blake Documents? If you do, can you possibly tell me if it's got a map of the entire Inner Sphere that can be enlarged and copied for editing? I picked up Historical: Reunification War last month and I'm torn between The Blake Documents and Jihad Hot Spots: Terra this month, but if TBD has decent quality maps that can be used in it, I'd be tempted to go for that one first. There are areas like the Filtvelt Coalition and the Malagrotta pirate realm that don't have many maps here (if any) yet and I think from the reading I've done that they started out as plot points in or around TBD... BrokenMnemonic 06:46, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Hy, yes i have a digital copy, i upload all maps for you, ok.--Doneve 09:36, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Spammers

Thanks for letting me know about the latest. One request: please don't do anything to the spammer's user pages or articles. It makes our job harder, because we can't 'find' the name so easily (since you make both pages blue) and we now have 4 pages to delete, instead of just two. In the future, just tell us about it and give us the name, if possible. Thanks, Doneve.--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 23:22, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Nexus

Hi Doneve. An anonymous editor changed the source referenced in the Nexus article from TRO:3058 to TRO:3055U. My copy of 3058 has gone missing, so I cannot verify that this is the correct reference. I did note that the page numbers match up with the Nexus II in 3055U. Since you were the one who originally added the references, I was hoping that you could check to be sure it is correct. Thanks! --Scaletail 00:15, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Scale - If i may interject - I don't have 3055U in front of me, but I can guarantee the Nexus appeared in the original 3058. So even if the references in question SHOULD be for 3055U (unlikely?), there should be plenty of citable material from 3058.

I will check back on this. ClanWolverine101 01:14, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Planets Overhaul Phase 4

Hi Doneve,

Revanche made some comments about Phase 4 of the overhaul over on BattleTechWiki_talk:Project_Planets/Planet_Overhaul#Phase_4 with a view to getting the test articles up to the same standard and agreeing what that standard should be. I've responded, but no-one else has yet, and I was hoping I could persuade you to weigh in with your opinions. I don't think that we can have the standards all agreed and every planet article rewritten before Revanche gets back, but I'm sure we could arrange a surprise... BrokenMnemonic 07:03, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Morning BM, i concentrate me at this time to the extrapolated co-ordinates, and to the planet and system infoboxes (not yet), i have a question, you use also BadSyntax database, where came all the system infos, i know we don't have in the canon sources infos for all planets, where come they from?.--Doneve 09:03, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

I've been using that extrapolated list on the projects page, as I've not gone into BadSyntax's database yet. I know I've compared the planets we have available to those on the extrapolated list, and there are some I don't recognise - I've been slowly working through my sources trying to work out where BadSyntax got them from, and putting together a list of any planets I can't identify to question him about. Which planets are giving you problems? I've found some really odd ones like a planet that should be very close to Terra that doesn't appear on any map I can find. BrokenMnemonic 09:29, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Ok, take a look on this [1], this blog include a link to a pdf file, there all planets with content for the star system infobox,i hope this helps.--Doneve 09:57, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

I can't download the .pdf files until I get home (they're zipped up) but I've downloaded the text file that includes the faction information, and it's fascinating - one world that'd been causing me fits is a planet called Killbourn, which has co-ordinates of -5.06, 13.23. That puts it very close to Terra, and I couldn't find it on any maps. In BadSyntax records, it's shown as being on just one set of maps, from 2596 - I only know of one set of maps with that date, and that's the big post-Reunification War map in Historical: Reunification War, which answers a lot of questions for me. I've also seen a couple of other worlds I couldn't find, which look as if they only appear on maps of the Draconis Combine after 3040. BrokenMnemonic 10:35, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

I am glad to help .--Doneve 10:38, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Mapping the Free Worlds League

I've just finished making maps using Handbook: House Steiner, so I've got the Free Worlds League and the Capellan Confederation to go yet. I'm hoping you might have some advice on mapping out the FWL for the project overhaul map gallery; Rev wants maps that can be used by project staff to trace a planet's ownership easily from era to era, so they need to cover all of the planets. It's been easy with the FedSuns and the Lyrans, because their realms are divided up into a handful of big regions, but the FWL is a hodge-podge of nations and independent worlds that change over time. Can you think of an easy but consistent way to map it? I could just arbitrarily chop the maps up into quarters or ninths based around Atreus, although that could result in the maps being a bit unwieldy. BrokenMnemonic 11:42, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Hmm, that makes me also some headache, i uploaded some FWL region Maps but their don't match all planets on the surrounding area, i think about this problem and talk then to you.--Doneve 13:51, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

I've uploaded all of the Deep Periphery holdings listed on p. 52-58 of Explorer Corps that we discussed. The holdings that were actual occupied colonies like St. Jean and Nouveaux Paris were already here, although the articles were stubs, so someone had been through and added those before. I had a quick skim through and updated some information on a planet that's described in Explorer Corps, Siroc, but which isn't shown on the map, and I noticed the same had been done for a small number of others already, but I think there are more dotted throughout the book in the text without actually being shown on the map. I'm torn between sitting down and re-reading the book again page by page to try and tease all the information out, or backing away to a safe distance and working on other things instead BrokenMnemonic 06:44, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Wow great job, i found in Interstellar Players some Jarnfolk planets.--

There's an article on new planets that need to be added to the new template standard (when it's agreed) that has the Járnfolk planets listed, along with the Neuva Castille and Hanseatic League planets - I think Rev authored it? There's also a Magistracy world on the list, which seems a bit odd, as I added a great raft of Magistracy planets to the wiki weeks ago. BrokenMnemonic 10:11, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Oberon Confederation

I noticed that a user here, Guardsman has some maps of the Oberon Confederation and what looks like the Chainelaine Isles posted in the maps gallery, but I'm not sure what the providence for them is. Most of them are marked as being from the Rim Worlds Republic map in Handbook: Major Periphery States, and I know that doesn't have either the Confederation or the Isles on it. One of the maps, this one: File:Oberon_Confederation_(3028).png lists 25 Years of Art and Fiction as one of the sources - do you have that book, by any chance? Can you confirm if the map is actually from that? I'm not sure whether the maps Guardsman's flagged up are actually canon, or if they count as fanon, and I don't want to link them to the Project Planets map gallery if they're not actually a canon source. BrokenMnemonic 10:11, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Yes i have 25 Years of Art and Fiction, i double check this, and give you then a response.--Doneve 10:14, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Varinants - Manufacturer

Hey, I have a question for you, why do you think it is not worth to post the information of the manufacturer on the individual designs on the pages??? My addition were only minor nature and give the user an overview. Neuling 19:52, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Hy, you found any info on the Hollis Incorporated page, add the variants direct in the manufacturing center page, oh and please folow the Policy: Manual of Style policy, thanks.--Doneve 19:59, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Your response is wrong that any information is available at the Hollis site, because the cooporation with Norse Storm is not mention and also the different Variants like the XNT-5O and XNT-4O are not presented. And please explain what was wrong with my style at the page. Another way to show the variants could also be to create a special page for such cases and I missing in many articles an overview at the manufacturers like in the newer tros.

Longshot-Update needed?

I'm confused by the use of the Update needed tag on the Longshot page. After going through the record sheet book, I can't see anything else that we'd need to add. What are you looking for in the Record sheets package that isn't on the page already?--Mbear^(talk) 11:36, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Hy Mbear, i found the LNG-4 Longshot variant, this variant is missing on the page.--Doneve 11:50, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Ah. That explains it. Thanks!--Mbear^(talk) 17:55, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

NO problem dude, i learn to double check infos .--Doneve 19:12, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Following politics

Hy Doneve, I notice that you think that I don't will follow common rules. I doesn't understand what are you mean exacly. Please correct me when I'm wrong. I start a discussion about my issue and used the Variant and Manufacturer Site as a site to gather the information for me personaly and perhaps later work base for the articles. I doesn't use this time tables like in the past. All information is available in the specific TRO. The problem is that no overview exist where the induvidual variants are produced. My task was to create something like in the Objective Raids sourcebook. Sometimes I have the feeling that changing the structure of a common developed article structur is tightly ristricted by you admins and the deleteion tag is quickly add in some cases. And at last I think they are many articles which are only place holders without a special purpose. I love the work for sarna.net and it is always hard work to convince the other users about the mean of that what I do. Neuling 03:44, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Kage Battle Armour

Hi Doneve,

An IP address user has just added a paragraph of text about one of the variants of the Kage battle armour and it's use on Op Serpent, but hasn't added any citations (or used a spellchecker). Battle Armour isn't something I know a great deal about - is there any way you can check if the detail is correct? I debated just reverting the change and moving the comment into the talk page, but I'm a little reluctant to do that given my lack of knowledge on the subject. BrokenMnemonic 09:03, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

I looked and didn't find anything. For that matter, the variant the editor added on to is also unsourced. Give it a week or so and, if nothing, delete the whole shebang. --Scaletail 23:47, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Historical: Reunification War/Field Report: Periphery

Hi Doneve,

The moratoriums on Historical: Reunification War and Field Report: Periphery have passed - are you happy for me to extract the maps from both to use in the gallery here? I've been looking forward to producing them as both are amongst my favourite sourcebooks to come out in some time.

As a side note, do you have a copy of Era Report: 3062? I don't, but I understand from comments over on the CGL forum that it may contain a number of maps for the 3052-3063 era - if it does, would you be willing to add maps from it to the maps gallery? That way, I don't need to rush out and buy the book just yet (I still haven't finished reading Jihad Hot Spots: Terra yet, and have another half dozen books still on my reading list). BrokenMnemonic 07:35, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Morning BM, yep i have Era Report: 3062, and yes i upload the maps .--Doneve 08:20, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Great! I'll get on with making maps out of Historical: Reunification War. I'm experimenting with trying to make composite images, so that I can get around the problem of maps being divided by the spine of the book... BrokenMnemonic 09:54, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

I uploade at first the Maps from Field Report: Periphery, and then i go to Era Report: 3062, and then i go to ... and to..., a never ending story .--Doneve 09:59, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

I know what you mean - I've still got maps to upload from Era Report: 3052, and then I've got to start chopping up the various Field Report maps to get the individual regions done. And Field Manual: 3085 will be on us before we know it, too! BrokenMnemonic 10:21, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Battlemech Infobox

Doneve, I received your message. Do you have an example page for me to view?--17:13, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

OK I've got it fixed. The problem was that you weren't using the correct parameters on your rows.

The infobox had these lines:

|Communications System||{{{comsys|}}}
|Targeting Tracking System||{{{T&T|}}}

Which is fine. But your documentation was pointing to the wrong variables:

|communications system=
|targeting tracking system=

So the infobox was looking for comsys and T&T, but couldn't find anything because you had the values in communications system and targeting tracking system. Make sense?

To prevent these two lines from appearing in the infobox until there's a value in them, I wrapped them in an IF statement. So you can add the values to the infoboxes, but in those 'Mechs you haven't updated you won't see anything.--Mbear^(talk) 17:26, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks man, i started today or tomorrow, with updating the sections, but i can see on the Battleaxe is works, thanks a lot.--Doneve 17:29, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Founding Maps

Hi Doneve,

I noticed that you're updating a lot of worlds to reflect their being a part of the Lyran Commonwealth in 2341. Can you add an owner history entry for 2340 for each as well, showing the original state the world was in before the Commonwealth was founded? I did that with the Capellan Confederation worlds, so that people looking back to age of war games can sort worlds by the earlier states using categories.

Will you be putting entries in for all of those worlds shown on the map that weren't in the three identified states on the map? I've been mulling over how to handle that, and the best idea I've come up with so far is to tag them as Independent Planets but to add a note in the owner history saying the system was settled at that point, but whether it was part of a state or not isn't known at the current point in time. BrokenMnemonic 17:38, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

No problem man, take a look on Surcin, and make changes if you want, if its ok, yeah give me a tip how i mulling all owner ship entries, thank.--Doneve 17:43, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

I added the category Tamar Pact Planets to Surcin, but otherwise that looks great to me. BrokenMnemonic 17:53, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks man :)--Doneve 18:17, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Pic I'm looking for

Hey Doneve - I'm looking for a specific pic i was hoping to use for an article. Its a Thor vs. a Scorpion that appeared on the cover of the Luthien Scenario Pack, as well as various promotional materials. I was wondering if you had access to it, minus the Luthien text. Thanks! ClanWolverine101 23:32, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Reference Typo

Morning Doneve,

I'm adding in some owner history details for the Rasalhague Dominion, and I spotted that when you were updating the Tamar Pact worlds from Handbook: House Steiner, a typo crept into your reference. This is the reference:
Handbook: House Steiner, p. 13, "Tamar Pact world within the Lyran Commonwealth befor [2340] and after at their founding in [2341]"
You're missing the "e" in before - "... within the Lyran Commwealth before [2340] ..."
I've found it in several worlds this morning, so I think it's in the original reference entry you were copying and pasting into each world? BrokenMnemonic 09:45, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Upps, yes i see my typo, i fix it when i update the owner history of the planets, thanks.--Doneve 11:14, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Two pics I need

Can you help with these? Shelly Brubaker from The Battle of Coventry (scenario pack) and from Operational Turning Points: Falcon Incursion. Thanks! ClanWolverine101 02:16, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the Link

Those files should come in mighty handy in the future. Have an e-cookie for your efforts.
