Welcome

Welcome, LordPestilence, 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 "LordPestilence" 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!

Great Contributions

You've built up a number of articles with good material in a short time. Thanks a lot. When you can, please add citations to the source material. Thanks again, and welcome (as a registered member).--Revanche (talk|contribs) 13:28, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you LordPestilence for doing some nice work ups on articles I personally have been struggling to find the drive to update :-) --Dmon 15:50, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Gentlemen, thank you for the most gracious compliments. I am honored and proud to do my part for this community. :) -Pest

Nicholas Kerensky Pic

Hey LP - This doesn't seem to be loading for me. Can you check the code? ClanWolverine101 19:49, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

CW, you're right. I don't see a pic either. I think whoever created the page must have tried to attach a pic but didn't do it right. I'll take out the malfunctioning code, and maybe someone who does have a proper pic of Kerensky can properly put it in. User:LordPestilence 00:46, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Does anyone have a good picture of Nicholas Kerensky? BTW, I have an old copy of Invading Clans that has references to Kerensky, such as Ellie Kinneson's assassination plot against Kerensky's wife...I'll put them in sometime soon. User:LordPestilence 00:46, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Hey guys I could see the pic earlier today, so maybe it is something else stopping it being viewed --Dmon 00:39, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
Hmmm... well, the file format was .png, which I'm not sure is good for the wiki?
Also - fyi : Clan Wolf Sourcebook has a good pic. Sadly, I can't upload. :( ClanWolverine101 04:44, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
I uploaded the pic for your guys :).--Doneve 14:46, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
Thank You Doneve! Lord Pestilence 01:59, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

References

Hi, please add your references to your articles and posts, thanks.--Doneve 03:56, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

My apologies. I could use some help, since I lack many CBT sourcebooks and I have to rely upon information from other BTW articles and various internet sources.

CBT books I DO have:

  • Invading Clans
  • FedCom Civil War
  • TROs 3050, 3055, 3057, 3058, 3060, 3067, Project Phoenix

Plagiarism

The content you added to Antonius Zalman was taken word-for-word from Invading Clans. This is not permissible per BattleTechWiki:Copyrights. When you contribute to BattleTechWiki, you are certifying that there is no copyright infringement. In the case of text, this is generally because you created it yourself. Text from sourcebooks is copyrighted, and so it cannot be added to BTW because you do not own it. Please rewrite this content in your own words or remove it as soon possible. --Scaletail 14:04, 25 July 2010 (UTC)


Done. My apologies once again. Lord Pestilence 23:56, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. --Scaletail 02:12, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Return to BTW

I'm back after a long absence...been busy.
