:Awesome!  I was not aware that article was done yet. Thanks for the cleanup on that.  I just want to make sure that this [[Brett Andrews]] document is a good one, so along the way I'm making sure everything else about him or connected with him is in line.  It will be comparable to [[Marthe Pryde]] in size.  Then I will seriously take a look at fixing links to ships in my coyote, blood spirit and raven articles :)  while finishing up minor vipers.  But first, back to this.--[[User:Rebs|Rebs]] ([[User talk:Rebs|talk]]) 18:41, 7 March 2013 (PST)

::That's a great article!  I like the headings by years.  Very fitting decision, characters need titles for sections, but doing that for ships would be unnecessary.  BrokenMnemonic did a great job!  I'll go over everything on the bio side for style conformity, ship links, touch ups, edits, images and the rest - which will be soon - after this.  --[[User:Rebs|Rebs]] ([[User talk:Rebs|talk]]) 20:17, 7 March 2013 (PST)

:::Yep, you're right, BM do a hell of job to provide some individual ship pages (take a look on the [[:category: Individual WarShips]] pages), he put circa one or two hundrets of the named vessel pages to sarna, and i help a little bit.--[[User:Doneve|Doneve]] ([[User talk:Doneve|talk]]) 20:35, 7 March 2013 (PST)

:::What I've been doing for the various ships is breaking the history section down if it either covers several periods, or if the ship in question did a lot in a short space of time. The [[Perigard Zalman (Individual Leviathan-class WarShip)|''Perigard Zalman'']] was only active for 2-3 years, but fought numerous battles in that time, so it seemed appropriate to break the history of the ship down by year, and where it fought more than one campaign in that year, to include sub-headings for the individual campaigns. For other ships, like the [[Inquisitor (Individual Aegis-class WarShip)|''Inquisitor'']], I've broken the history down by era, because it was active during KLONDIKE and then again during the Wars of Reaving. I'm not looking forward to the ''McKenna's Pride'', because that's going to be a monster of an article - I'll probably have to have a Star League history sub-section, with further sub-sections by campaign (CHIEFTAN, etc) and possibly by world, then an Exodus sub-section, then a section to cover the Clan years, and then a Wars of Reaving sub-section. Yeesh.

:::Oh, I should mention naming conventions, just in case you want to pre-load articles with ship names (Doneve's been a rock star with getting that done on ship class pages and the like) - the convention being used is that ship articles will use the Ship Name as the article name, but that if there is already an article with that name (typically a planet or a person) then the article uses Ship Name (Vessel) to signify that it's a vessel. If there two vessels with the same name (Swift Strike, Ark Royal, etc) then the (Vessel) part is replaced with the class name of each - so we have Swift Strike (Individual Overlord-class DropShip) and Swift Strike (Individual Fredasa-class WarShip), and Ark Royal (Vessel) (because we don't know what class the Martial Olympiad winner was) and Ark Royal (Individual Conqueror-class WarShip).

:Thanks, Rev.  I learned it from you.  I'm still taking a break because [[Brett Andrews]] drained my soul, but I check things out all the time and I'm always sympathetic to newcomers.  This place can be a lot of work (done mostly by you admins), but it's fun and rewarding in its own way. --[[User:Rebs|Rebs]] ([[User talk:Rebs|talk]]) 04:05, 26 April 2013 (PDT)

== Battle of Twycross ==
 
 
[[Battle of Twycross]] is up. Got some Clan stuff in there. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] ([[User talk:ClanWolverine101|talk]]) 08:52, 1 May 2013 (PDT)
 
:That's a really good article.  Very balanced in sources, plenty of citations.  Too bad there simply isn't more material about Adler Malthus and his perspective.  Instead, he's just a high ranking redshirt.  ;)  Good article though.
 
:One thing, there seems to have been a bold/italics snafu there in the middle about the hatchetman and the ejection system/ flying head contraption.  It looks overemphasized because several lines are bold italic. Just a typo and quirk of the wiki, but other than that I didn't see any other typo.--[[User:Rebs|Rebs]] ([[User talk:Rebs|talk]]) 06:52, 2 May 2013 (PDT)
 
::Yeah, Mbear fixed that for me. The problem is using an apostrophe s when we use apostrophes in the code.
 
::Adler Malthus had a brief write up in the Battle for Twycross scenario pack. I used a couple of bits from that bio, but like you said, it was pretty minimal. Still, I'll give him his own write up in good time. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] ([[User talk:ClanWolverine101|talk]]) 07:58, 2 May 2013 (PDT)
 
:::Cool.  Think you might hit [[Taman Malthus]] too?  It would make sense.  I've thought about doing a write up for him too, he's pretty interesting, and his actions display what can be cool about a clanner.  But I would gladly not write it if you wanted it.  I've got a full plate.--[[User:Rebs|Rebs]] ([[User talk:Rebs|talk]]) 08:16, 2 May 2013 (PDT)
 
::::I want to do Taman. Unfortunately, I don't have a reading copy of Assumption of Risk. Still, he's on my (ever-growing) list. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] ([[User talk:ClanWolverine101|talk]]) 09:41, 2 May 2013 (PDT)
 
:::::I think Adler goes with the Taman Malthus package ;)  Should be only a few paragraphs at most, right? --[[User:Rebs|Rebs]] ([[User talk:Rebs|talk]]) 14:47, 2 May 2013 (PDT)
 
::::::I would think. He's on the list, too. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] ([[User talk:ClanWolverine101|talk]]) 14:49, 2 May 2013 (PDT)
 
 
==Hey==
 
Hy Rebs, hope all is well, i miss your well writen articles, when you have time talk what is going on, yaya i know reall life is busy {{Emoticon| ;) }}.--[[User:Doneve|Doneve]] ([[User talk:Doneve|talk]]) 14:42, 2 June 2013 (PDT)\
 
:Still reading and catching up, though as you say, yeah, RL is pretty busy now.  I started working again, I'm a land surveyor who specializes in updates for mortgage reports.  I check and make sure the fences are were they should be, and no one's house in on two pieces of property (called an encroachment), which happens more than one would think...  Last time I surveyed property was 2005, when the economy really crashed hard in my area, so I've been content with getting back into the swing of that, and with lots reading.  I have a lot of stuff I was putting off that I'm now getting into, reading the DA novels and the new stuff too.  And I hooked up with a GF.  So yeah, busy-busy here.  I'll see what I can do to at least start writing a few articles here and there.  I know I have things to finish, too. --[[User:Rebs|Rebs]] ([[User talk:Rebs|talk]]) 23:48, 7 June 2013 (PDT)
 
 
== References - Updated help page ==
 
 
Saw your comments to [[User:Adridos]]. I've tweaked the References page so that it reflects how we're actually using the references tag on Sarna. If there's anything I should add, please let me know. Thanks!--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]]<sup>([[User_talk:Mbear|talk]])</sup> 10:02, 7 June 2013 (PDT)
 
:Didn't see anything amiss.  Looks like it's complete and up-to-date.  Hopefully this helps the new folks to get to the right path. --[[User:Rebs|Rebs]] ([[User talk:Rebs|talk]]) 23:52, 7 June 2013 (PDT)
