Welcome

Welcome, Neuling, 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 "Neuling" 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!

Placeholder articles

Hi Neuling, and thank you for the mercenary command articles. Two points though: You have inserted a "cleanup" tag, but I think the template you really want to use is "stub". Which brings me to the second point, do you intend to expand these placeholders into full articles? If so, great; but if not, then be advised that we have the List of minor mercenary units article specifically for the purpose of putting down such data. If and when you have enough material on a merc unit to warrant their own article, go ahead and create the article (deleting the unit from the List article). But please do not create essentially empty placeholders. Frabby 09:09, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Use NEW Merc template

Hello Neuling, there have been recent changes to Sarna's website. As you are placing high number of mercenary articles on line. It appears your still using the OLD template that has problems. Recently a new ones has been made, please use; Help:CreateMercenaryUnitArticle. -- Wrangler 12:09, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Operation Guerrero changes

Hi. I'm the guy who wrote the Operation Guerrero page, and I was wondering why you removed so much of the article. Several of the elements that you excised, particularly the Capellan operations, were needed to properly set the stage for the invasion in my opinion. --Mbear 13:08, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

I've restored most of my original article text. I've also included the summary tables you created. I did this for several reasons:

1. You removed information that was important to the article. (Pre-Guerrero Capellan operations)
2. The text you included was confusing.
3. Some of the text you had (units, etc.) was incorrect.

I really like the tables you created and wish I had thought of them first. I think that between your summary tables and my original text the article is great. I hope you agree with me once you've reviewed the article. --Mbear 22:09, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

DCMS Unit tables

Hey bro, Not to be a killjoy or anything but looking at your new unit tables in the DCMS article I think we should possibly consider rolling them back to the old way as IMHO they are a little "squashed" looking now. --Dmon 15:45, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

and looking at it again it also removes the individual brigades from the contenst at the top of the page. --Dmon 15:48, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Clan Goliath Scorpion page update

Neuling, I finished making the Goliath Scorpion rank insignia. After I put them on the appropriate rank pages, I also updated the Clan Goliath Scorpion page with to use the images. I've also moved the Rank insignia to near the bottom of the page so the unit organization information can stay together. Hope you like it!--Mbear 18:32, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Mbear, I overworked the clan articles for you. You can put your images/files direct in the table. The ranktable is only a shell for your work. Great that we can work together and yes I like your work. Neuling 00:29, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Award: Image Import

Neuling, normally I would wait to see how someone uses the images they imported before providing this award, but I have confidence you'll be placing them all in their respective articles or a gallery very shortly. So, in light of the sheer amount of uploading of new imagery you did today (95 at current count), I award you the II ribbon:

Congratulations and keep working on your project. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 02:23, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Also, you might want to take a look at the Automatic Awards. I see you are entitled to two of them, already. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 02:31, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Warrior House logos

Why did you upload the Warrior House .png pics when there are .jpg files available already? Frabby 20:36, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

This fact was unknown to me. Where can i see which logos are availabe? Neuling 20:44, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Regarding the Warrior Houses, they can be seen in the individual House articles (i.e. Warrior House Imarra, Warrior House Kamata, Warrior House Hiritsu, etc.). Frabby 21:54, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

All Purpose Award

You get the All Purpose Award for your work on improving the listing of the armed forces of the succession states:

Keep going! --Neufeld 11:29, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Clean-ups

Good morning, Neuling. Please review your recent contributions, such as those for Word of Blake ROM‎‎ and Tmi, as well as others. Other Editors have noted that the articles don't meet BTW's standards for informative articles and don't have the criteria for proper formatting. I'd prefer you complete some of these articles, by providing wikilinks and references and describing what they are [what is 'Tmi'? I've never heard of it.], before adding more articles. Since they are notable enough to be included by you, I hope they're notable enough to be saved by you, as well. Thank you. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 11:28, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Tnx for your advise, I will rework my articles and add more information + pictures to them. The evidence with the reference will also include in my work. Give me one day and post me then your thoughts about the rework. Neuling 01:57, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Looking forward to it! --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 03:01, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Revanche, I hope you are satisfied with my workover. The other articles wil have the same layout and extend. Neuling 13:06, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

I think you have met the minimum requirement of information for making stub status, yes. I made some comments on 2 of the articles, for areas other Editors could fill in. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 20:13, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

ComStar ROM

Evening, Neuling. Please consider merging Rom comstar‎‎ with the pre-existing ROM. Its been decided that there shall only be two articles: ROM (which deals with ComStar ROM from its inception, thru the Schism, to the current Jihad era) and Word of Blake ROM, which starts at the Schism. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 01:22, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I have no problem with your decicion. I put the two articles from me in to the existing ROM article. I can't decide which information are useful for the community and I have uploaded the logos for all agencies. It is your decicion now. Make it a hole cohensive. Neuling 07:05, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

The WOB ROM article was fine. We just didn't need two different articles about ComStar's ROM. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 10:56, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Images

Good morning Neuling! I took the liberty of updating the DMI and FIC pages to move the insignias into a gallery. I did that because the images were breaking the layout of the article and making it harder to read. By putting the images into a gallery, the flow of the article remains intact and people will still be able to see what branch uses which insignia.

In case you want to start using galleries, you can find the info on the Policy:Images page, but here's a quick how to:

1. Create a header that reads Agency name insignias.

2. Paste this code underneath your new header

<gallery>
Image:filename.jpg|Descriptive caption of image.
Image:filename.png|Descriptive caption of image.
Image:filename.gif|Descriptive caption of image.
</gallery>

3. Replace filename.jpg with your file name.

4. Press the Save Page button, and you're done!

You can also insert a gallery from the image based toolbar. Press the fourth button from the right side to have the editor insert a gallery tag for you.

Thanks, and keep up the good work with importing images!--Mbear 15:30, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Princfield Military Academy

Hello, Neuling. Your (slightly misspelled) article is duplicating information. Is possible to move your content to REDIRECT that has correct spelling. Right now its just re-direct to FWL list of schools with Princefield Military Academy listed.— The preceding unsigned comment was posted by Wrangler (talk • contribs) 06:47, 2 April 2010.

All-capital letter article titles

Hello Neuling, please do not create articles with all-capitals titles, like AITUTAKI ACADEMY‎ --> correct title Aitutaki Academy, NAIS COLLEGE OF MILITARY SCIENCES (NAMA) --> correct title would be NAIS College of Military Sciences (NAMA).

I do realize that the BattleTech font often appears to be all capitals, but that is not the style we use here on BTW. There are only a few cases where the correct article title spelling would call for all-capitals, usually in abbreviations/acronmys such as NAIS, AFFS or MIIO. Frabby 09:48, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

AITUTAKI ACADEMY‎

Hi Neuling, Can you changing the name from AITUTAKI ACADEMY‎; to Aitutaki Academy. Nothing on Sarna, has itself spelled in CAPs. Thanks! -- Wrangler 11:39, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

(I moved this into my All-capital letter message because it covers the same general issue.) Frabby 09:48, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Good Humor Award (a.k.a. "We're not picking on you")

Neuling, I know you've been getting a lot of comments recently about changes to your articles and requests to modify them. As one of those people, I'm giving you a Good Humor Award for listening to us make these comments and not throwing a temper tantrum.

We're not picking on you or saying your work is poor when we make these suggestions. Speaking only for myself (but I think the others would agree) your articles are adding a great deal to BTW, and I'm trying to hold you up to a higher standard so your articles become even better.

Keep up the good work, and remember: Keep smiling.--Mbear 14:25, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Can you do me a favor?

Neuling, can you please start putting references in your articles? You have a lot of good information, but I can't find it in my source materials because I don't know where to look. Thanks!--Mbear 14:52, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

No problem can you make me an overview please, were I have forget the source of my information to put on. Tnx Neuling 15:00, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Most of it appears to be in the AFFS unit pages. I've split each command into other pages, so you'll have to follow a few links to get to the pages. One example is the Avalon Hussars page.

"At its zenith, the Avalon Hussars defended the entire Combine border with 26 BattleMech regiments and 32 conventional regiments."

Where did you find this fact? That's interesting, and I want to know more. Stuff like that appears in a lot of the AFFS military units you've created.

Thanks!--Mbear 15:35, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Good Work!

Neuling, I just logged in with the intent of continuing to replace the tables on the FWLM page with a heading and list when I discovered that you'd beaten me to it! Way to go! These look good and make the page flow a lot better.

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent work! Keep it up!--Mbear 12:47, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Operation Ice Storm

Hi Neuling, I like some of the improvements to the article. However, i think that listing Ice Hellion's Clutters with the Galaxy in beginning of the article is un-necessary since there are already wiki-links through Galaxy wiki-links, it just makes the page more clustered. I'm uncertain listing all the naval assets on the top is good idea either. I listed them as they appeared in the campaign, that should enough without being too cluttering. -- Wrangler 19:04, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Neuling, I love how you colored map for Operation: Ice Storm. Do you think you can make a second picture? Namily one that high lights (lightly, like faded yellow) the area where the fighting was happening? The map you colored has borders for where Ice Hellions were fighting with Falcons and Horses. -- Wrangler 00:05, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

I can make another 2 pictures, 1 with border of 3067 and 1 with the invasion corridors. Sometimes the planets were conquered and reconquered several times but this is difficult to integrad it in my work... Neuling 17:35, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

We only need the Ice Hellion's Invasion corridor version, from Jihad Secrets. I thought if you can take your map you already made, just highlight the invasion area of Ice Hellion's fighting in yellow or light color, it would help reader looking at article get idea where the invasion happened. If its too much, don't worry about it. -- Wrangler 18:30, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Nice Job! Thank you so much for making those maps! I'd like present to you the [[ All-Purpose Award, 2nd ribbon. I would like give you one that better. Its what all i can do thank you for enhancing the article! -- Wrangler 19:50, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Tried to answer your question.

Neuling, I tried to answer your question.--Mbear 20:41, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

CCAF Actions during Operation Guerrero

As promised, I will now post what little I found on CCAF actions during the Guerrero. This will take a few days. Aldous 02:15, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

• During the period of Operation Guerrero, the CapCon secured 19 worlds. FM:CC, p.13
• Judging from the 3058 Map, the CCAF advance started along the point of the Liao/Marik border and moved outwards following the CC/FC border with attempts made to link planet Liao to the rest of the CapCon.
• The 1st Wave hit 9 worlds. Shattered Sphere, p.68
• Planets believed hit during 1st Wave:

Campertown

Tsinghai

Old Kentucky

Picture upload

Hi Neuling, when uploading (or re-uploading) picture files please remember to provide source data, especially stating the Artist, Source and Licensing. All files need to provide these. Frabby 11:19, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Read and aknowledge Neuling 11:41, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

I've been looking over the images on BTW and noticed that many of your picture uploads have misspelled names (Romani-liao, Takeshi Kurita, etc.) - please be more careful here. Not only does it look unprofessional, it also makes the files hard to find for people who are looking for pictures of a given character.

The other thing is that many pics you uploaded are not actually used in any article. I suggest uploading a picture only if you need/want it for an article, because otherwise people may believe the picture doesn't exist yet on BTW and will upload yet another version of the same pic. Frabby 09:04, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Me again. I've just noticed your picture galleries and I like what you're doing here, so congrats on that. These galleries do adress the problem I spoke of above - now users can browse them to find pictures for their own articles. Very good. As a suggestion, it would be very useful if you added subtext or some descriptive text to the pictures; that would make the galleries easier to work with. Frabby 07:34, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Hy Guys, i jump in. I agree with Frabby, the Uploads from Neuling gives the wiki better quality images, but please add a descriptive text to your images, roll on, roll on, goood work.--Doneve 11:13, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Vintain's Vigilantes

Hi Neuling, I see you're taking merc units out of the List of minor mercenary units and creating full-blown articles on them. Thanks for that! But there is one unit - Vintain's Vigilantes - which you removed but for which you did not (yet) create an article. I even doubt there is enough information on that particular unit to warrant their own article. I suppose you mixed them up with Vinson's Vigilantes? If that is the case please say so, so that the entry for Vintain's Vigilantes can be restored to the minor mercs list. Frabby 18:44, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Tiny spelling error.

Neuling, I just looked at your Clan Territory Wars page. Looks incredible! So much information. And thanks for using tables to only present table data. I know you're not really comfortable doing that, but you're doing good work by listing the information as a list, and using the tables to present stuff that should be in tables. (I'm not really saying this well. What I'm trying to say is you're using the tables and lists appropriately, and if I could get the people in my office to do the same thing I'd be happy!)

One thing though: You're using "loose" instead of "lose". The first means not tight or not restrained, and the second means not victorious. (Don't feel badly though, there are a lot of English speakers who mess this up as well.)

Some examples that may help: Loose as in "to unleash":

• "Once Wolf's Dragoons turned loose their firepower, the Ryuken were bound to lose the conflict on Misery."
• "The Smoke Jaguars' loosed the firepower of the Sabre Cat on Turtle Bay. This was the first step to their annihilation."

Loose as in "to not restrain":

• "The FRR loosened the restrictions placed on mercenaries in 3050, after the Clan invasion."

Like I said, it's a minor thing, but it's a pet peeve of mine. And if you're going to learn English by using the wiki, you may as well learn the correct words, right?

Have a good one!--Mbear 14:19, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Tnx for your advice. I need help to recheck my data when possible. My next step is to put the information from the field manual update in the correct sub articles. I'm a native german speacker, my english is not always good , but i do my best. Mbear, what are you thinking about my work for the merc area? Neuling 20:00, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

The military articles are intended as an overview, not date specific postings. Such specific detail as postings based on date are better placed on each unit page not the brigade or military pages.Cyc 12:45, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Images

Neuling, you had a couple images that appeared on pages that were flagged as sub-stubs. So we don't lose them, I've put them here on your page.

• 

  Magna Metals

• Mauser & gray firearms.jpg

  Mauser & Gray logo

• 

  Nashan Diversified Logo

• 

  Tharkad Aerospace group logo

• 
• 
• FEDERATED INDUSTRIES.jpg

Like I said, most of these pages were sub stubs, meaning they had almost no content. If you want to add them back into the wiki with more content, please do.

Thanks!--Mbear 13:15, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Added the Steel Viper Jade Falcon War image to this page, deleted sub-stub.--Mbear 18:48, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Order of the Faithful

Hello Neuling, i saw your pirate article Order of the Faithful. Why don't you use existing template for military commands to put your article? There is already Pirates Commands category as well. -- Wrangler 18:39, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Vegan Rangers Regiments

I see you've created articles named "Alpha Regiment" etc., referring to individual regiments of the 12th Vegan Rangers merc division. Cyc already pointed out that they need to be renamed (everybody and his dog has an Alpha Regiment, so that name is hardly distinctive) but I'd go one step further and suggest merging them into a single article to cover the entire merc unit. There is no reason to break it down into its regiments (or battalions, companies, or lances, for that matter). Frabby 12:06, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

I've created Disambiguation pages for Alpha, Beta, and Gamma regiments that point to the relevant commands.

We've been going around and around about the Brigade level vs. Regimental level for a while now, and FWIW, I think Neuling's on the right path. Each regiment in the larger units has its own history, organization, and specializations. IMHO, these multi-unit formations should be treated like the multi-unit formations from the House militaries: You wouldn't put all the Davion Guards or Sword of Light regiments on one page, so these units shouldn't be there either.

(But the more information you can add to each of the regimental level pages, the better!)--Mbear 16:52, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Hughe Project

Hy Neuling take a look on this BattleTechWiki:Project Military Commands, i think this gives the answer.--Doneve 18:43, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

That would certainly be the place to have this discussion. There is already a standard format for military command articles, which I see you have used in 1st Aragon Borderers. Is your suggestion to use the official BattleTech eras as sub-headings, or is there something more that I am missing? --Scaletail 00:22, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Your Military Commands Project

Neuling - I am interested in helping you make the unit pages uniform, but first I'd like to discuss details of the format you're looking at. From what I can tell above, other people share my view.

Hate to be a bother, but its also an issue on the Ghost regiments you're editing. ClanWolverine101 20:35, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

DCMS Unit History Stubs

Hello Neuling, i noticed in the 10th Ghost you added a stub for Fourth Succession War and other conflicts in 31st Century. I wanted ask you if your doing this for all units? I don't think its a good idea. There was reason why i had put history section in place then empty wars that unit may or may not fought in if had existed at the time. If you looked up the Ghost, you'd noticed 10th Ghost didn't exist in the Fourth Succession War. I don't think its good idea putting conflict entries into a unit's history. -- Wrangler 19:51, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

I will rework all units were I make a mistake. I know the Ghost regiments are formed after the 4th succession wars. I wil change this immedatly. It is easier for me in the next step to integrated the information for this time period when the sub section exists. Neuling 20:00, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Fourth Succession War

Neuling - Hope I don't seem petty, but your section headers for the Fourth war use Caps. That's not really standard? Just a thought. ClanWolverine101 15:08, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Missing Imagine

Hi Neuling, i was updating your maps of the Federated Suns. I appears that FedSuns 3025 is not working. Is possible to fix it? -- Wrangler 14:08, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

FCAF?

Shouldn't it be AFFC? ClanWolverine101 14:24, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Unit Name Conventions

Hello, as per BattleTechWiki:Project Military Commands, due to large volume of similarly named Clan units, Clan unit articles need the Clan name in brackets on the end. The two articles you've created as well as the military overviews and events generally don't follow this and create redlinks for articles that BTW has had for awhile. When creating articles it always pays to search and check redlinks in case something is spelt differently or is rendered differently. Cyc 13:12, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Edit Count Award

Neuling, you've been exceptionally active and made nearly two thousand edits, but nobody has awarded you your Edit Count Award. I have therefor remedied that.  ;) --Peregry 07:13, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Regarding your deployment tables

Neuling - Let me say, first, that I respect amount of work you've put into those faction/year deployment tables. Having said that, I think myself and a number of other editors have certain concerns about the policies and formatting of these tables, and how it impacts the site as a whole. I would ask that you start a policy discussion on the appropriate talk page, so we can find common ground. Thanks. ClanWolverine101 04:08, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Regarding your unit history revamps

Neuling, you have been really active re-formating alot unit histories. You have be more careful, you steamrolled over someone else edits while you putting those generic sub-sections in. Your not only person editing on Sarna. Take care -- Wrangler 13:11, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello Neuling, As for better format, i think having "history" as section will have to do. You have to remember, each regiment/battalion/company in Battletech universe has unique histories, they didn't all do same thing or fought same wars. ALSO, there alot missing information on alot of house/merc units because no one wrote anything about it in canon. Mass-editting you been doesn't work, if it did, sarna be done along time ago in my humble opinion. I would recommend look for units you have information on, just work on ONE unit at a time. Just put information you have on it into the article. Example: You doing something for a 1st Army of Word of Blake (I made this up), they only fought in Invasion of Terra, then you just write under the history section a new sub-section called Invasion of Terra. All you add, until you would find more. I work by just add sub-sections when information is FOUND. Do add more when i find more. There are Lyran units for example that never fought Operation Revival (the Clan Invasion) or Operation Bulldog. Don't add more sub-sections to histories of the units, let someone who going work on it do it. -- Wrangler 13:49, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Table of organization images

Neuling, I want to thank you for using the gallery tags to organize your images. It's really a great way to keep things orderly. I do have a request however. When you put a gallery in place on a page, could you please include captions for the images? If you look at the Task_Force_Serpent#Smoke_Jaguar_BattleForce_Defence_Forces images, the lack of any text on them is really confusing. I realize I can sit down and puzzle out the unit name from the file name, but that's a pain if I want to see the units quickly. Thanks!--Mbear 19:47, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Organization Structure

Hy Mbear, I jump in, then I add the gallery's of Neulings Organzation Structures, but i must say, i talk with Neuling every day in the ICQ, you know we are german natives, and nice to see it comes a notice for Neulings edits, he makes a really good work about the newly added Organization structure, he added it and i fix little thinks (gallery, tags, etc), a hand to hand cooperation, you are the first admin to bring a statement to his last work, ähm sorry for my rough englisch ;), but i think you know what i say..., and again sorry for my grammar ...past and tense failurs in the conversation grml. Greetings --Doneve 04:31, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

I remember both you and Neuling aren't native speakers of English. (And I respect your efforts to learn such a messed-up language!) And I agree, Neuling has made a lot of very nice improvements to the Wiki. If I implied otherwise in my message to him, I'll apologize for that. Neuling's work strikes me as being a "diamond in the rough" as we say over here: A few cuts and trips to the polishing stone and it's great. That's all I meant about the Organization tree images.

If you're working in the gallery I mentioned on the Task Force Serpent page, please realize that my comment wasn't "This sucks, get rid of it" it was "This is a great start, but could be so much better with just a little more effort." It was like seeing someone run a marathon and then deciding to drop out at mile marker 25 instead of finishing the race.--Mbear 14:09, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Key Planets Gallery‎

Hello Neuling. Your pictures for your Key Planets Gallery‎ are way too dark. I don't have reliable paint program, but do you think you can light them up little bit? -- Wrangler 17:13, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Andurien Succession

Neuling, you left this message on my talk page but I don't see that you read it. Just to be sure you see it I've copied it here to your page.--Mbear 18:07, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Hey Mbear, what is your opinion about my extension of the Andurien Crises. My next project will the Ronin Wars and after that the Anton Marik Revolt. Both Project in two days... :) Neuling 16:00, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

I think you should change your formatting

• so it's written in sentences rather than this list format
• so it doesn't use the "+" sign in the lists, but does use a comma as the separator
• so it uses the correct referencing system (<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 54</ref>)

So instead of this:

Planet

Repulse

MAF Forces

Taskforce Duo (2nd Canopian Light Horse + 2nd Canopian Cuirassiers + 2nd Canopian Fusiliers)

CCAF Forces

Kincade’s Rangers

Outcome

The numbers count for the invaders but the Rangers had some training cycles with the Death Commandos. The used every possible tactic to soften the Canopian forces up. The Rangers went in the underground.

Source

Brush War p. 54

It would read more like this:

On Repulse the Taskforce Duo (consisting of the 2nd Canopian Light Horse, 2nd Canopian Cuirassiers, and 2nd Canopian Fusiliers) faced the CCAF's Kincaid's Rangers. Though outnumbering the Rangers three to one, the Rangers had trained alongside the Death Commandos and used every possible tactic to soften up the invading Canopian forces. They then went underground to continue their resistance.

There's no point in reinventing something that already exists (referencing system), and the lists you're using here are just one step away from a sentence based layout anyway.--Mbear 16:13, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Historical Event Formatting

Neuling, please have a look at Operation: Ice Storm, Operation: Sovereign Justice, and Operation: Thunderstrike to see some examples of what I mean by using a sentence based structure. These articles are well-written and well-organized. Don't worry about grammar and spelling, I or another editor can help with that. The sentence based structure makes the articles into something more interesting than a series of lists.--Mbear 18:11, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
