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!

42nd Dieron Regulars

Hello Doneve, the 42nd is not listed in the War of 3039 Deployment Taple at page 138. With best regards Neuling 11:26, 8 January 2012 (PST)

Ah ok thanks, i want only to make the references a little bit easier.--Doneve 11:30, 8 January 2012 (PST)

Remind me...

How do you make an archive from your talk page? Like you and most others do with the "year" archives at the top of this page? Thanks! ClanWolverine101 13:35, 11 January 2012 (PST)

Point of View

Hello Doneve, I follow the way that Dmon describe. I take a project and worked it partly. With the underconstruction - sub it will make it easier for the others to see that the article is in an partly rework. I anknowledge the way about the references. You can look at my latest references and that the way that the others and you prefer. Over the weekend I accomplished my goal to update all composition histories to the level of 3025. The next step is 3040. This time I will include the (underconstruction) sub, because I will expande the composition with 3050-3054-3059 until 3064 - 3067 - 3079 and in April at least 3085. That shows the development of the individual unit in an better way and I prefer for the Brigade site that we devide the units in former and active, because it give a clear view about the current strength an as compromise I will include only the strength for the different years. like 3054 - 10 regiments , 3085 - 4 regiments. That isn't hugh data but it helps me alot. I will also include by the mercanery commands the faction at the corresponding era which the were working for. I hope that make it helps to understand my work better. Sometimes I rush the projects to fast but I working to improve the quality of my work. Neuling 13:01, 15 January 2012 (PST)

This i a good point for me, sorry for my raw talking, but i fix some thinks on the military pages, i hope you appriciade this, have a good time.--Doneve 13:15, 15 January 2012 (PST)

Hey Neuling, My thoughts on your current project. very good stuff once it is all done if we can set the standard high.

Some Recommendations

• 1/please leave the format of the Brigade articles alone.. Do not fix what is not broken!

• 2/instead of just putting

1st Regiment, 12 Star Guards (Veteran/Reliable)- LCAF

How about

1st Regiment, 12 Star Guards (Veteran/Reliable)

- (Under contract to the LCAF)

To me this makes it a little more ARTICLE than LIST even if it is a very small bit of text

• 3/ Possibly try putting the details of the units commanding officer in the officers section of the article?

Thanks --Dmon 13:23, 15 January 2012 (PST)

Thanks a lot to point out this.--Doneve 14:14, 15 January 2012 (PST)

New Way to work

I hope you see that I incorporate the adcives of you admins in my new work. I will ad a few new brigades to sarna like Tamarind March Militia or Tamar March Militia and Sarna March Militia. I think it is the work worth because they saw some form of combat and we have enougth information to create solide articles for them. Also the Lyranc Alliance lake any form of militia brigade pages. In the field manual they are devided into 10 different commands (Field Manual Lyran Alliance page 108) each with its own unique color and commanding officer. And what do you think about the thought to include also the territorial structure of the FCAF of the DCMS in to the corresponding faction site like

Valexa PDZ (Valexa Command)

Commander: Marshal Vivian Chou

Second-in-Command: Leftenant General Quentin Dratherss

Regular Mech Strength: 1 Regiment, 1 Battalion

Mercenary Mech Strength: 0 Regiments

in shape of a table? Neuling 13:09, 16 January 2012 (PST)

Hy i make some changes on your example, take a look, and give me some response, thanks.--Doneve 13:13, 16 January 2012 (PST)

200px

Valexa PDZ (Valexa Command)

• Commander: Marshal Vivian Chou

• Aide: Leftenant General Quentin Dratherss

- Regular Mech Strength: 1 Regiment, 1 Battalion

Take a look on this link Planets Project Reference Gallery there a lot of maps, we don't need maps on unit and brigade pages, please stard a discussion on the BattleTechWiki:Project Military Commands talk page, before you stard contributions.--Doneve 13:33, 16 January 2012 (PST)

Rulesbox

Afternoon Doneve, about you changing back the rulesbox on the Dieron Regulars... Is there a policy or anything I have not seen? All the rules boxes I see with actual content are a different colour and have subtly different wording that the rulesbox that is in the Help:CreateCommandArticle template. Is the template out of date?

Thanks --Dmon 08:14, 17 January 2012 (PST)

Hy Dmon, Mbear fixed the code of the infobox, to many users had problems to show this right, and he made the code easier, i talk to him to give a statement of the changed code, and fix the policy.--Doneve 08:18, 17 January 2012 (PST)

Ah ok yeah so the box is out of date.. that is rather annoying. Thank you for the help. --Dmon 08:22, 17 January 2012 (PST)

View of work

Hello Doneve, please give me a short response how you consider my latest work and if its meet the common policy. Tnx Neuling 09:48, 17 January 2012 (PST)

Hy it looks good for me, ok some minor changes by the references, you had a typo in it, Objective not Objectiv, but i fix this when i double check the pages.--Doneve 09:59, 17 January 2012 (PST)

Have I made you admins angry?

I read the messages from clanwolverine to Frappy and read to my suprise that he consider my work a mess as a hole. I agree with you that my work was in the past not so good but please regard my work now. I listen to you and change my work like the references. I talk to you more often (If I wrong about it correct me please). My writting style has im proved and please tell me which of my work is considered plagarism and I will take it offline immedatly. I have no idea how I can calm the situation. Please response. Tnx Neuling 08:35, 18 January 2012 (PST)

Please continue this discussion at my talk page, so that it isn't spread over several different pages. Frabby 11:22, 18 January 2012 (PST)

Griffin Section

Hello Doneve, I had response and offer to remove all content which I had publisched at the site I had reworked my "manufacturing places" at the Griffin section and show you what could be a compromise from my side. I hope you are satisfied and in a few hours the purification of the site from my work will start. Neuling 12:50, 18 January 2012 (PST)

At first please take a look on some Manufacturing pages how i handle the references (i take a lot of work on it, and i delete any content that don't match), i know there is a lot of data minining, at first look to the various TRO's if the variant is produced by this manufacuter and planet, and don't throw any in, please double check the sources, make a minor edit, i look on it and give you some response, what is ok and what not, as second we have the mech infobox with a manufacturing row, then you come to the manufacturer page.--Doneve 13:04, 18 January 2012 (PST)

Tnx for advice

Tnx for your help and I corrected the pages.Neuling 11:48, 19 January 2012 (PST)

Hello Doneve, please take a look at the page of User:Dirk Bastion and give my a response how I could do that project. Neuling 11:48, 19 January 2012 (PST)

There is a statement from myself, take a look.--Doneve 11:50, 19 January 2012 (PST)

The correct way to work

Hello Doneve, I will only know if the way I work the last few day the correct one or should I change something. I will add Objectiv Raids to the Biblography section on the next round where the entry is missing. Your task is not to chnage my reference to the good. I think how I use it at the moment is the correct one. I wait for your response. Neuling 00:11, 22 January 2012 (PST)

Hy i appriciate your corrections, and you are on the right way, keep up your work on this standard, thanks.--Doneve 02:38, 22 January 2012 (PST)

Tnx

Tnx Doneve that you fixing my broken ref links be for I could do. I hope you are satisfied with the rework of the ISF article over the next days the remaining articles like LOKI and DMI will follow. I finished my example for the force structure but I doens't know where will it be put best placed. Perhaps you have an good idea.Neuling 13:42, 22 January 2012 (PST)

No problem dude, i know ref. notes etc. are not easy to handle, when you need support talk to me, i like your force structure article from the FWLM, i think we set up a link on the Free Worlds League main page, good work.--Doneve 13:52, 22 January 2012 (PST)

ISF

Hello Doneve, I'm at the final phase to end the ISF article please give me a response about it. Neuling 10:51, 23 January 2012 (PST)

Hy really good work, ok some minor grammar and spelling problems, and i miss some links, but it looks very good to me.--Doneve 11:03, 23 January 2012 (PST)

Pictures

Hello Doneve, I could provide you the pictures from the old House Books Steiner, Davion, Kurita and Liao. The Marik book is only black and white. Have you ideas for such material? :) Neuling 11:09, 23 January 2012 (PST)

No, i have only House Davion, House Marik with pics, i searched on the BTforum but i don't found it!!--Doneve 11:14, 23 January 2012 (PST)

I could provide the pictues and you could put them at the right place. What do you think about my offer? Neuling 11:21, 23 January 2012 (PST)

Good deal.--Doneve 11:24, 23 January 2012 (PST)

I had uploaded all available portraits from House Kurita. Tomorrow I can do the same with Dresses/uniform, awards + decorations, ranks, crest of the brigade. Please give me a response of you are satisfied with my work and if it the work worth to upload them.Neuling 14:04, 23 January 2012 (PST)

This was a great hand in hand workship, thanks a lot :).--Doneve 14:06, 23 January 2012 (PST)

I added more pictures to the gallery. I have a question how to build a reference for a picture from sarna.net picture database like [[1]] because I will include those for several pictures. These pictues are better as the existing one? tnx. Neuling 12:12, 24 January 2012 (PST)

I cant do this you must talk to Nic our wiki founder, i cant change the main code of the wiki sorry.--Doneve 12:14, 24 January 2012 (PST)

I know that those content was in the past available from the battletech site but the link doesn't exist anymore. Perhaps someone else have an idea. Neuling 12:20, 24 January 2012 (PST)

Updating Composition section

Tnx again for your support of the updating the composition section of the induvidual commands. Futhermore I have another Question. What do you think about it to include for the conventional infantry articles the weapons stats with picture and for the planets to include for the historical part the battles for the controll of it. Remember over 15 battles were fought alone for the possesion of Hesperus II as an example. Neuling 12:20, 24 January 2012 (PST)

At first i move your FWLM example page to the right place, good work, as second, give me a example page of your question, and stard a discussion, but a good idea.--Doneve 12:29, 24 January 2012 (PST)

Take alook at the Hesperus II site for the battle issue, then you have an impression what I mean. Neuling 13:40, 24 January 2012 (PST)

I have a look on it, but i miss a example page what you do on this ;).--Doneve 15:00, 24 January 2012 (PST)

I get what you mean about the battles being listed on the planet articles Neuling, I hve long thouht we should do this. The infantry units however I do not know what you mean? --Dmon 14:53, 26 January 2012 (PST)

Composition and Example

Hello Doneve, I had a question: In the Field Manual Draconis Combine (FMDC) p.14 2nd column is mentioned that the common mech command is 60 percent upgraded with advanced technology. Can I post it to all DCMS forces from FMDC when not other information is available. I wrote my own example Robinson. Please tell me what do you think. Neuling 12:21, 26 January 2012 (PST)

I think it's critical to post this to all DCMS forces, a lot changed their equipment after the years and during the Jihad some commands where destroyed, dibanded etc. but i think you can leave a note in the various DCMS articles, when you don't found any info in the unit articles or in Field Manual: Draconis Combine and other sources, i hope this helps.--Doneve 12:36, 26 January 2012 (PST)

About Robinson - What is your impression? Neuling 13:13, 26 January 2012 (PST)

Looks good to me, but i don't speak perfect english, i found some grammar and spelling failurs, i think you talk to Revanche or Frabby, their take a look on this.--Doneve 13:26, 26 January 2012 (PST)

Assistance Appreciated Award

Hy Doneve,

I noticed that you've been tidying up odd mistakes in the unit articles I've been writing or updating, and I'd like to give you an Assistance Appreciated Award. I run my work through spellcheckers and the like, but it often takes me two or three read-throughs to notice a problem, and fresh eyes are a big help on keeping the quality of the articles up. So, please have one of these on me:

Hot Spots + Contracts

Hello Doneve, I have a project for the neart future in mind but need help to bring it in shape. The sourcebook Hot Spots Games Master + Player Volumes contains alot of valuable information but I have no idea how I can bring it on the planet page. What do you think about that? Neuling 13:07, 27 January 2012 (PST)

In the two books, are some content of planet descriptions, you can added to the planet pages, i hope this helps.--Doneve 17:17, 27 January 2012 (PST)

HD maps

Hello Doneve, I can provide maps with a higher resolution but before I make the work I ask if you are agree with the decision or if you have concerns about it. Tnx Neuling 16:32, 27 January 2012 (PST)

Let's work.--Doneve 16:45, 27 January 2012 (PST)

But i have another question, you uploaded some pics from TRO: Prototypes, can you teach me how i cropped out the images correct, and what i must do, iam a liitle bit under skilled to do this thanks.--Doneve 16:45, 27 January 2012 (PST)

I will make it short and understandable. Lets start first I use adobe acrobat professionell in combination with enfocus pitstop (that is an addin for acrobat with vast editorial funtions). I open the document zoom the picture to 100 percent or higher. After that I use enfocus to select the vector objects to remove the background. When that is done I chose Werkzeuge|Tools => Auswahl zoomen => Schnappschuss werkzeug|snap shot tool. Then you have the capability to select an area, left mouse, draw the area ,even over the view border. The entire area is in the clipboard as an picture. I use ulead to correct some minor errors and loaded it up to sarna.net I hope this short tutorial was helpfull.Neuling 17:00, 27 January 2012 (PST)

Great thanks so much, but one question what is Ulead, a seperate programm or add on??--Doneve 17:06, 27 January 2012 (PST)

Ulead Photoimpact is a good programm to edit pictures and have the batch funtion => automated process like 50 pictures should get smaller or the brightness should be increased. Another question to you have you read my project above about the content of the Hot Spots contracts and game master book? Neuling 17:12, 27 January 2012 (PST)

I doesn't get it? Where the Wolverines the allies of the Word of Blake during the Jihad or who else? Tnx for your awnser. Neuling 17:15, 27 January 2012 (PST)

Table modification

Hello Doneve, please take alook at the sandbox and tell me what you think about the modification of the table. I think for my self the new structure make it smoother to read. Neuling 11:29, 29 January 2012 (PST)

Great i have a look on it, really good work, i want to adopt this example, but please start a disscusion on the Manufacturing Center Talk page, i hope the other guys on sarna like this new format, i like it very much.--Doneve 11:36, 29 January 2012 (PST)

Okay, I will start a discussion. Another question to you. Please take a look at the 2nd Benjamin Regulars and the 17th Benjamin Regulars and give me your impression about the formating of the composition section. I had a huge goal to update all military command to the stand of 3079 and for the mercaneries I include the employer of the era (examples The Dioscuri and Miller's Marauders). Tnx again Neuling 11:45, 29 January 2012 (PST)

Ok, take a look on the Dioscuri page, i change a little bit the format.--Doneve 11:50, 29 January 2012 (PST)

Tnx for the little rework and your overall impression about the 3067 sections? Neuling 11:53, 29 January 2012 (PST)

Maps

Doneve, please take alook at the maps 50px+ and give me your critical view if it enough or should those picture are better done.Neuling 14:14, 29 January 2012 (PST)

Regional Structure LCAF

Hello Doneve, please take alook and give me your impression. When the current format is okay I will include the structure of the remaining eras like 3050/3054/3062/3067 for better understanding. Neuling 10:49, 30 January 2012 (PST)

Looks good to me, but i miss some links on the page.--Doneve 10:50, 30 January 2012 (PST)

I will include links later. And give me a hand because I had no clue where the article link is best placed?Neuling 10:54, 30 January 2012 (PST)

Hm this is a good question, i don't know at the moment, i talk to you when i have a idea, talk to CW or Revanche, what the guys think.--Doneve 10:57, 30 January 2012 (PST)

Shadowrun and similar

So, I assume you put up the article for deletion because you want to change all the other articles that link to it with links to Wikipedia? Is there a policy for that, because that's not the only one of its kind (most don't even go to an external reference page, they just redlink). --Dirk Bastion 23:29, 30 January 2012 (PST)
