Well, this is me. I'm into BattleTech, though to be honest I've always been into the video games, so you will most likely see me working with Apocryphal content based on my relatively wide in-game experiences verified by having the games in the background and drawing info from them, mostly regarding MechCommander Gold, MechWarrior 3, and MechWarrior 4 - possibly MWO and MechWarrior 2, though I'm rusty on MechWarrior 2. I've got a healthy respect for the roots behind the games, so if you see me in regular articles I'll be fixing grammar or making a section more clear. The main reason I joined? Besides using this site hundreds of times over the years (I'm being very, very generous with that number), I'm a roleplayer and gamer who has seen BattleTech evolve. The immediate reason is because I looked at the article for Marcus Kotare and thought it could use an overhaul.

I'll add "project pages" and edit histories below, shall I?

April

Marcus Kotare: Pre-edit to italicize a mech name.

Intended Update (currently in Draft Mode) Marcus Kotare: Paragraph syntax revision, refocused article to describe the character. Most sentences revised to fit the content changes, though appropriate elements were retained. Removed various segments that -I could not find to be supportable, and -stated opinions. Dates were conflicting (Captured in 3060, but his planet was invaded in 3059? Eh?) and updated to be more clear. Citation needed on mentions of Clan Nova Cat - I can't verify the info one way or another at the moment, and I don't want to delete it, so it along with a few smaller sections require citation. The article after release will remain on a post-polish list unless someone has changes they think are appropriate to add in the meantime.

-Content base is done, verifying facts, dates, inserting links to appropriate items, and ensuring the rest of the page is solid for the imminent edit.

In the future projects:

-Review and verify all Apocryphal content specifically relating to MechCommander, MechWarrior 3 and MechWarrior 4, including the creation of Apocryphal sections relative to the games where appropriate.

Longer term, a look at MechWarrior 2 and possibly MechWarrior Online (though MWO... doesn't really have the lore to it).

At some point I might throw myself at this: Beta Regiment (Wolf's Dragoons). Even the title strikes me as a bit long ^.^ And yes, for a wiki article... it's more like a super-encyclopedia entry for a Wolf's Dragoons record-keeper... Given the scale of the project at the vary least I would wait until later on, and probably get a couple other people to help work on this as well.
