| − | ;Talvin's Clan Law
| + | July 14, 2022: I am no longer an active Editor on this Wiki. |

| − | [[Image:BTW_EditorBar2.jpg]]
| + | I may return at some future point, but I have no plans to at this time. |
| | | | |
| − | ==Profile==
| |
| − | Call me Talvin, more people know me by that than my real name anyhow.
| |
| | | | |
| − | I have been playing casually off and on, both tabletop (that's been a while) and computer games since the early 90s, and I have a significant collection of the novels, some in print from back when, though nowadays I mostly get Kindle. My most interesting achievement is losing a Highlander to a Gauss headshot (after I kept saying "There can be only one!") during a free-for-all game in college. And I have a degree in English and Education for all that's worth.

| − | I have been enjoying this Wiki for a few years and decided it was time I stepped up to pay my dues.

| − | ===Discord=== | |
| − | If you want to chat on Discord, send a friend request to my username here with #3561 tacked on the end. (Obfuscating that a bit so bots can't just grab it.)

| − | ==Task List==
| |
| − | *Every week, look at [[Special:LonelyPages|the Orphans]] and deal with new stuff as appropriate.
| |
| − | *For those [[BattleTechWiki:Project Orphanage|Orphans]] already classified: pick a category and try to knock it down some. Find homes for stuff. Some of these are just not going to happen. Accept it gracefully.
| |
| − | *[[User:Talvin/Media Companies|Media Companies]] is going to be slow but sure. Figure out how to fit that into the Wiki as a whole, too.
| |
| − | *[[User:Talvin/Word of Blake Navy|Word of Blake Navy]] is a long-term project.
| |
| − | * [[:Category:Foreign Language Editions]] In fact, let's go large on this. To the extent possible, add info about all the publishing houses that have handled foreign editions, and put them under [[:Category:Game Publisher]], since that states it is for Novels as well. They don't need huge writeups, just something to help people find them and their products more easily.

| − | ===IlClan Jade Falcon===
| |
| − | A few members of the community have expressed that having a well-cited list of Jade Falcons to survive the ilClan Trial would be useful. As this will necessarily involve some speculation and inferences, the proper format is an [[Policy:BattleTech Essays|Essay]]. So I have begun [[Essay: IlClan Jade Falcons]] to serve until more canon information becomes available.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Word of Blake Navy===
| |
| − | [[User:Talvin/Word of Blake Navy]] is something I tinker with when I want a break from the other stuff. Space battles need more love and attention.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Stuff on the Back Burner===
| |
| − | [[User:Talvin/Other_Projects|Other Projects]] I am considering or have set aside for now.

| |
| − | ==Pages That Amuse or Interest Me==
| |
| − | *[[Four Horsemen of Errai]] - The first big "gem" that I dug out of the Orphanage, that I recall. I hope they expand on this in canon someday.
| |
| − | *[[Jeffery Foxworth]] Love the reference.
| |
| − | *[[Schedar Enlightenment and Liberation Force]] (SELF). I mean, if they got forced to join a Clan, they would be...''SELF-Absorbed''!
| |
| − | *[[Callandra Witch]] There's a story here, and I hope they continue developing it.
| |
| − | *[[Dagen's Daggers]] Looks like they were just fluff from a Technical Readout, but this is the sort of thing that could make a whole Scenario Pack or Novella. Both? Both is good!
| |
| − | *[[Precentor Who Lost His Name]] Huh! I read the novel, of course, but I didn't know about this little followup. Interesting....
| |
| − | * "Pilot! Can you identify the DropShip?"
| |
| − | :"Wait a minute!"
| |
| − | :"Pilot! Identify that DropShip!"
| |
| − | :"I said [[Waytaminit|WAYTAMINIT]]!"
| |
| − | * [[Bob]]. It's a planet. It used to have a different name. Check it out.
| |
| − | * [[Tai Dai Cult]] Somebody actually went there.
| |
| − | * [[Hobb V. Ess]]
| |
| − | * [[Kalvin Hobbes]] commanded the [[Third Taurian Lancers]]. We should make that page. Because.
| |
| − | * [[Rekkem]]: I should apply to be the guy that comes up with names for Clan OLWs (One Line Wonders). I really should.

| − | ===Saving this from Project Orphanage===
| |
| − | Had to pull this off when the project went public, so saving it here:<br>
| |
| − | I am the very model of a Modern Major-General, <br>
| |
| − | I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral, <br>
| |
| − | I know the [[Khan of Clan Jade Falcon|Khans of Falcon]], and I quote the fights historical,
