Style Note: Mission Status reports

Mission Status reports, as compiled by the Project Lead, are determined by page completions. As each assignment has three team members assigned, and as each team member finishes his assignment, the respective pages of the targeted title are considered completed. In other words, if a title has 21 pages of material, and the Research Writer completes his assignment of 2 pages, but neither the Fact Checker nor the Copy-editor have done so, the project would be at 3% completion.

Example: A 21-page article has 63 'pages' of assignments: 21 for the Research Writer, 21 for the Fact Checker and 21 for the Copy-editor. With 2 'completed' pages from the Research Writer, the mission is at 3% (2/63=0.031746, rounded to 3). If all three members of the team have completed the same 2-page assignment, then the mission is at 10% complete (6/63=0.095238, rounded to 10).

Copy-editor Training: Doneve

Okay, if a Research Writer reports to the Fact Checker, then both of them report to the Copy-editor. The Copy-editor must be and remain familiar with the BattleTechWiki: Manual of Style and ensure that the Writer conforms to those standards. For that to happen, you have to understand how the Writer and Checker work together. In that regard, I'm going to have you practice a little source research yourself.

Open up your copy of Jihad Turning Points: Luthien to page 6. (If you don't have JTP:L, let me know to which of the Turning Points you do have access.) In the "Combatants" section, look for "1st Genyosha [Samurai]". Within that short 19-line entry there are 13 different subjects that are relevant to the article (in order of appearance): 1st Genyosha, 3067, Shih Chou, Hohiro Kurita II, Tharkad, 14th Sun Zhang Academy Cadre, 3068, Sorenson's Sabres, Luthien, 3071, Chandrasekhar Kurita, Arcturus and 3073. A PUB team member understanding the material may find additional articles that are directly relevant to this. The first one that comes to my mind is Battle of Luthien (Jihad).

If you understand how I found these subjects, I want you to try it. On the same page, find the entry "Sathen's Snipers". I want you to list all relevant subjects addressed in the Snipers' entry, just as I did for "1st Genyosha [Samurai]". List those in your response. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 17:19, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
