Welcome

Welcome, Harry, 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 "Harry" 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!

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 Casual Edit Award, 1st ribbon 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. Edit Count (100) ;) --Peregry 07:21, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

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).

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:

Substantial Addition Award

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.
