Good Work with O'Mallory's World
Hi Harry, thanks for working so hard on the planet data on Mallory's World. Specially going back and forth with CBT.COM board to make sure data from the Republic PDF and Handbooks were correct. I'd like to present you the for your hard work! -- Wrangler 17:28, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks a lot, Wrangler. I am not done yet. Harry 20:57, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
Seconded. I didn't recognize your call sign on the CBT boards, so came here to make the corrections. Not only are they done, but well-referenced too. Ribbon well-deserved. --Revanche (talk|contribs) 00:39, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
Edit Count Award
Harry, you've made over 100 edits here, and so qualify for your first Edit Count Award, which I hereby award you. ;) --Peregry 07:21, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
Excellent Work
Thank you Harry for your fine addition to the Taurian Concordat page!Deeppockets 02:35, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you. I'm glad you like it. Harry 12:13, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
Italics and boldface in 'Mech articles
Hi Harry, I have worked over your recent edits on the Hunchback, Enforcer, Hermes II and Cicada. Please note that boldface is only used once in the article, when naming the subject for the first time. It can also be used later to highlight other names for the same subject (i.e. Hermes III) but it is not used for references to different 'Mechs (e.g. Hunchback IIC in the Hunchback article). Frabby 14:25, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
Cicada
Hy Harry, can you give me a reference for the Cicada production by HartfordCo Industries, thanks.--Doneve 19:33, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
- Sure, I will add it to the article. TRO: 3039 says that it was produced by HartfordCo on Bryant before the destruction of the factory. The von Luckner article in the same book says that the tank was produced by HartfordCo Industries on Bryant. I assume that the two producers are the same. Harry 20:27, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
- Yep, you are right, my failur.--Doneve 20:38, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
Good edits
Saw what you just added to Guillotine. Definitely a substantial addition, hence:
Don't forget to update your TIS and Edit Count awards. Keep up the good work!--Revanche (talk|contribs) 14:10, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you very much. I'm happy you like it. Harry 14:17, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
Welcome
Hy Harry i see your interested to join our planet team, you are heartly welcome, and please inform you on the various talk pages, what is going on this time.--Doneve 20:23, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
Project: Planet
Evening, Harry. Thanks for expressing interest in the project. I've reviewed your contributions, and it looks like you'd be a good candidate: when you're active, it appears you focus on a general subject ('Mechs, planets, etc). I'll be moving your name up to the active list. We aren't active just yet, as we're still trying to prepare and decide on how we're going to administer this huge task. However, please keep an eye on the talk pages, especially the Overhaul talk page (link provided on the Project: Planet page and please take part in the discussions, to help us together come up with a plan. BrokenMnemonic and I will be overhauling three 'sample' articles, from which to base our discussions. Thanks for offering.--Rev (talk|contribs) 23:03, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
Planets Overhaul Phase 4
Hi Harry,
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 as you'll be one of those involved in converting the old articles into the new format. I don't think that we can have the standards all agreed and every planet article rewritten before Revanche gets back, but it'd be great to be able to get started on one of the small areas, and getting the standard template agreed for phase 4 would go a long way towards helping with that. BrokenMnemonic 07:07, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry, I had some trouble with my computer. But now I am back and I am goning to read my way through the Overhaul pages. Harry 10:48, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
Sigurd
Hi Harry,
I like the update you did for Sigurd, but you need to be a little bit careful about saying that Sigurd was an independent world between the fall of the Rim Worlds Republic and the arrival of Hendrik Grimm. My memory's a bit fuzzy (I've been reading a lot of battletech books chasing stuff down, and they all blend together) but what happened after the RWR fell is rather fuzzy, and while we've got some maps, there aren't many maps at all of the region the modern Oberon Confederation sat in in Handbook: House Steiner, which is the only one to give us clear maps of the Lyran border during the succession wars. However, at least one book (I have a feeling it was Handbook: Major Periphery States) indicated that when the RWR collapsed, several small states formed in it's wake, including an Oberon Confederation, but the majority failed - and I'm 90% certain there's a mention that the Oberon Confederation was basically a failed state until Hendrik Grimm came along, appropriated the name and made it a fully fledged bandit kingdom.
Aha, just found the reference:
“ | The nationalist cause survived for a time on Oberon VI and two neighboring worlds, Sigurd and Crellacor. Renamed the Oberon Confederation, this tiny collective managed to survive for nearly two decades, until it succumbed to repeated bandit raids and the harsh reality of interstellar isolation. The refugee settlements on Oberon lasted the longest, aided by the temperate climate and fertile soil, but the breakdown of irreplaceable technology eventually reduced them to isolated small towns much like those of the pre-spaceflight age. The Oberon Confederation would cease to exist in all but name until the 2840s, when Colonel Hendrik Grimm arrived on Oberon VI and set about remaking the moribund Confederation into his personal pirate empire. | ” |
— Handbook: Major Periphery States, page 37 |
OK, I could've just stuck that into the entry for Sigurd myself, but that always feels a little rude to me given that it's freshly edited by you BrokenMnemonic 21:16, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
