Category talk:Articles with no sources

Why this category?

It's a compromise: if we follow the letter of Policy, I should have marked all these for Deletion as they lack citations and have been up for years in most cases. I would have been technically in the right but nobody would have thanked me for that. I would not have liked me for that. Over 1/3 of our pages marked "refimprove" have nothing, and I am hopeful we can salvage some significant percentage, maybe even most. My next task is going to be to take another pass through and look at those without Bibliography sections and see if I can at least identify what book the original editors were working from, to give us a starting point.--Talvin (talk) 15:16, 25 May 2022 (EDT)

At least a few of those articles had many more problems than just a lack of citations, I have deleted some of the really old ones that would require a lot of work to bring up to any real standard, at least two where just data dumps without real context. What is left will mostly be fairly easy to track stuff down for... Some like the Warlord articles and the Grand Knight are just a case of harvesting the correct citations from the linked character articles. I will try and get that done at some point in the next couple of days.--Dmon (talk) 23:26, 25 May 2022 (EDT)

They certainly did, and your deletions came as no surprise. I now have most of them with Bibliographies at least. 25 of these pages are Star Adder units that I think are all from FM: Crusader Clans, which I do not have, but someone with that book could knock those out very quickly.--Talvin (talk) 08:21, 26 May 2022 (EDT)

I think I still have FM:Crusader Clans. At the moment it is looking like Sunday will be when I get to sit down and dedicate some real time.--Dmon (talk) 10:41, 26 May 2022 (EDT)

Field Manual: Crusader Clans

CLEARED--Talvin (talk) 12:49, 3 June 2022 (EDT)

No Bibliography

These do not even list a book or other source from which citations might be drawn. Where I have an educated guess, I will note it:

• Carl Marik - The Marik Sourcebooks
• Clasped Hands Agreement - Star League sourcebooks, Reunification War
• Galactic Directions - No clue, though I do not doubt the information in it particularly. This is an important page for explaining concepts.
• History of the Star League - Star League Sourcebooks
• Kesari
• Magnus DelVillar - Wars of Reaving
• Marsden Coup - Steiner books
• Rasalhague Province
• Skandia Province
• Stone's Coalition - Looks like something gathered from the various Jihad books.
• Territorial States of the Star League - Star League and Reunification War
• VTOL - Core Books, and ventures more into rules territory than I like.
• Ward Marik (28th c.) - Marik Books

Found Weapons Plant SL-R63073 - It is in Field Manual: Crusader Clans. I will add to the article. --HF22 (talk) 09:11, 27 May 2022 (EDT)

Thank you! I am going to delete that from the list on this talk page, then.--Talvin (talk) 09:13, 27 May 2022 (EDT)

I can clear Tomi Nagawa as well - The character is from MechWarrior: Dark Age - Sneak Peeks. Will update.--HF22 (talk) 09:29, 27 May 2022 (EDT)

Appreciated. I know that messing with other people's talk page entries is not the normally done thing, but feel free to remove anything from above if it is settled.--Talvin (talk) 09:31, 27 May 2022 (EDT)

Joyeux Corsaire is all over TRO 3150; I'll get something done. --Tumult&Travail (talk) 17:03, 27 May 2022 (EDT)

Made a start on the Warlord articles, I shall fill them out fully over the next few days.--Dmon (talk) 12:04, 5 June 2022 (EDT)
