Additional tips

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the wiki:

• For policies and guidelines, see The Five Pillars of BattleTechWiki.
• If you want to play around with your new wiki skills, the Sandbox is for you. Don't worry: you won't break anything. A great resource for printing out is the Wiki Cheat Sheet.
• Consider registering at the site (if you haven't already). That way, you'll get name recognition and respect for the effort you put in here.
• Also considering writing something about yourself on your UserPage (marked as BigDuke66 at the top of the page). You'll go from being a 'redshirt' to a 'blueshirt,' with the respect of a more permanent member.
• Introduce yourself at the new user log.
• In your Preferences, under the edit tab, check Add pages I create to my watchlist and Add pages I edit to my watchlist, so that you can see how your efforts have affected the community. Check back on each visit by clicking on my watchlist.
• If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random button in the sidebar, or check out the List of Wanted Pages. Or even go to Special Pages to see what weird stuff is actually tracked by this wiki.
• Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

You can find me at my user page or talk page for any questions. Happy editing, and we'll see ya 'round.

Welcome

Welcome from me, as well! I appreciate you taking the time to discuss changes and actually using talk pages. If I could make one suggestion? Rather than leaving a summary of your changes on an article's talk page, write than in the "summary" box located directly beneath the edit window. This allows everybody to see what you did on the Recent changes page, without having to go to the talk page. Also, the sources are great, so could you please incorporate them into the article? This can be done by adding "<ref>Author Name, Title, etc.</ref>", then create a "Notes" section and add "<references/>". Thanks! --Scaletail 21:17, 15 July 2008 (CDT)

Products

Man, dawg! Great streak you're on. If I may ask, where are you getting those images? Do you have all of these old products yourself? --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 10:20, 17 July 2008 (CDT)

Yes most of them, to be precise almost all sourcebooks(YEA background!), no scenario & campaign stuff(only minor background) and no old rulebooks(again only minor background).--BigDuke66 20:25, 17 July 2008 (CDT)

WikiProject Military Commands

I created a new WikiProject to encompass all military commands. Since you've done a lot of work in the past with them, please come over and sign up so that we can improve the coverage of all units. --Scaletail 14:17, 14 February 2009 (PST)

Image replacement

Just because you work with images a lot, if you click on the old image (to go to its page), you'll see a link to replace it with another one. That way, you don't have to deal with changing names in articles and such. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 11:43, 26 June 2009 (PDT)

Capellan Confederations Armed Forces page

Hi BigDuke66, The status listings listed next to the unit on the main page for the CAAF is unneccesary. It clutters the page, the detail information should go only into the article themselves. Listing of Destroyed units is ment only as quick references since units can be resurrected or rebuilt. If you could move your information you added to the regiment articles, that would be swell. Sorry to bother you regarding things. -- Wrangler 15:59, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Yea I already thought that this is too much info for the main page, I'll edit it now.--BigDuke66 17:14, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

McCormack's Fusiliers Confusion

Hi BigDuke66, I think you may have mixed up stuff with your McCormack's Fusiliers with Marion's Highlanders articles. In McCormack article you talk about the Marion's Highlanders for unspecifed reasons that doesn't deal with McCormack. I was going trying fix it, but do you want do it first. I'm not certain if you type up something and forgot to add something. -- Wrangler 15:28, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
