| + | Hi BobTheZombie, |
− | Hello. How much time do I have to make the corrections? I understand that this is a placeholder that will be put back into the main article when done. Also... if you are adding the Chaos March worlds, you should also add the Disputed Territories too.--[[User:Aldous|Aldous]] ([[User talk:Aldous|talk]]) 17:48, 20 January 2014 (PST)

− | :Take as long as you need to add those; I have plenty of other stuff to work on in the meantime. And yes, all the stuff to the end needs references (or to be added if something is missing).

− | ==Cockpit Page==
| + | Do you know how the system maps are generated? All those images don't have a category and this makes the [https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Special:UncategorizedFiles Uncategorized files] not very useful as from the first 1000 thousand maybe 95% images as these ones. And I do not want to put them in a category as this might affect the "program" that generates them. Do you know who can help? Maybe when the image is generated it can be put in a category like "System Images". I'm asking more people, but do you have any idea?--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 10:40, 10 March 2021 (EST) |

− | *"Usually only Chinese and Japanese ranks get italics." - Mbear
| |
− | *"Unless the title is in a foreign language, it should not be italicized." - Scaletail

− | == Casual Edit Award ==
| + | Hey Bob, |
− | Good morning Bob (I have to keep reminding myself to not type Bub - I've watched Day of the Dead too many times)<br>
| |
− | I'm impressed with the tempo of work you've kept up on here since joining, and the way that you're doing things like bringing up issues in talk pages - basically, doing all the right things. I was going to give you another Act of Appreciation Award when I noticed that you didn't have a Casual Edit Award. Casual Edit Awards are notionally for when "an editor witnesses another editor making a minor addition or correction to any random article." I'd say I'm a little surprised you don't have one, but I'm going to award you one now:<br>
| |
− | [[File:CE.jpg|Casual Edit Award, 1st ribbon]]<br>
| |
− | Once I've checked your contributions log to make sure that you've made at least one edit to a random file, of course... {{Emoticon| ;) }} [[User:BrokenMnemonic|BrokenMnemonic]] ([[User talk:BrokenMnemonic|talk]]) 00:06, 28 February 2014 (PST)

− | ==Assistance Appreciated Award==
| + | I saw you adding wikilinks into the dates in title articles. |
− | Hey Bob, I have taken the liberty of giving you a Assistance Appreciated Award for your sterling service in helping out with the situation dealing with House Military Layouts. I am not always the most diplomatic of chaps and you stepped in and calmly and efficiently presented a very good idea of putting it to the wider community. Thank you. --[[User:Dmon|Dmon]] ([[User talk:Dmon|talk]]) 02:23, 14 March 2014 (PDT)

− | :Thanks for that; I don't even know why but I just made an account there recently and wanted to help Sarna through it. I'm planning more outreach to them in the near future. -[[User:BobTheZombie|BobTheZombie]] ([[User talk:BobTheZombie|talk]]) 07:15, 14 March 2014 (PDT)

− | ==Re-Engineered Lasers==
| + | the way the wikilinks have been done has actually been done on purpose. It just appears a little messed up in articles where we do not have full lines of succession. |
− | Hi BobTheZombie, do you want me to spruce up the other Re-Engineering Laser articles? Game Play/Construction Rules should be listed seperately or least be in uniformed. I think my weakest point was the infobox, its kinda confusing for me. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] ([[User talk:Wrangler|talk]]) 19:10, 16 March 2014 (PDT)
| |
− | :Sure, go ahead and work on them; the infobox looked fine by the way. Sorry, too much going on at the moment, will check back tomorrow. -[[User:BobTheZombie|BobTheZombie]] ([[User talk:BobTheZombie|talk]]) 20:01, 16 March 2014 (PDT)

− | ==New Layout for military pages==

− | Hello BobTheZombie, I discover that all text will be displayed from an article until the first sub section begins, I hope that information will help you in some way. With best regards [[User:Neuling|Neuling]] ([[User talk:Neuling|talk]]) 15:55, 18 March 2014 (PDT)
| |
− | :Sorry, but I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Are you talking about the summary at the beginning of an article? -[[User:BobTheZombie|BobTheZombie]] ([[User talk:BobTheZombie|talk]]) 16:11, 18 March 2014 (PDT)
| |
− | ::I Thik when you used the onlyinclude tags, the text is repeat until the first sub section of the page. When you use a whort summary and then start the text with a section like historical or overview it only whows the paragraph until then. I hope my explanaition is not to bad.

| |
− | :::If you're talking about my sandbox, then yes, I was hiding what I had had on the page with onlyinclude tags so that I could still see it but not have to delete all the info. I simply forgot to fully add the intro and have since revamped the page. I think I understand all you were trying to say. Please forgive me for my difficulty in understanding you. -[[User:BobTheZombie|BobTheZombie]] ([[User talk:BobTheZombie|talk]]) 05:06, 19 March 2014 (PDT)

− | [[File:CE 1bol.jpg|Casual Edit Award, 2nd ribbon]]I'm happy to see how you whipped the [[Spidermech]] article into shape between the three of you. This particular article has been a thorn in my side for some time because I knew it needed a serious rework but I knew nothing about the subject matter myself. So, for getting this out of my head, I'm giving each of you a Casual Edit Award (2nd ribbon). Thanks!

− | == TPTB Rulings ==
| + | Hope this makes sense.--[[User:Dmon|Dmon]] ([[User talk:Dmon|talk]]) 16:02, 21 February 2022 (EST) |
− | Hi Bob,<br>
| + | |
− | Thanks for including a reference to the TPTB ruling on the origin of the name of the [[LB-X Autocannon]] in the article - personally, I think one of the roles for Sarna to play is to track rulings from TPTB on [[canon]] detail that aren't specified in the published material; things like errata and rulings that tend to get lost whenever CGL backs up it's forums, or has it crashed. Anyway, I'd like to give you this award as thanks:<br>
| + | :Ah, that does, I was sprinting through, so thanks for catching me. I thought it was a more kosher to have redundant links in lists than in the article, but I'll watch a little closer when I'm messing with that {{emoticon|:)}} -[[User:BobTheZombie|BobTheZombie]] ([[User talk:BobTheZombie|talk]]) 16:25, 21 February 2022 (EST) |
− | [[File:RAA_2bol.jpg|Random Act of Appreciation Award, 3rd ribbon]]<br>
| |
− | However, there is one thing I'd ask - when you're including details of a ruling or something similar in an article, can you also directly quote the detail either in the Notes section, as I've done with articles like the one on [[Colonial Tractors]], or in the Talk page for the article, as Frabby's done with the ''[[Full Moon]]'' article? Whenever TPTB update their boards, we end up with dead links - copying the text itself across preserves that ruling, and hopefully makes Sarna more useful for those doing research. [[User:BrokenMnemonic|BrokenMnemonic]] ([[User talk:BrokenMnemonic|talk]]) 11:09, 24 March 2014 (PDT)
| |
− | :Thank you! It was by pure chance that I saw that post and decided it should be added to the page. I completely forgot about quoting it and will try to remember to do that if I find more in the future. Thanks once again! -[[User:BobTheZombie|BobTheZombie]] ([[User talk:BobTheZombie|talk]]) 15:20, 24 March 2014 (PDT)
| |
− | ::You definitely had the right instincts when it came to flagging up Herb's ruling in the article here. What made me sensitive to making sure that the quotes themselves are included was when I was doing some work on updating the WarShip class pages and I found a reference on (I think) the ''[[Kyushu]]'' that talked about the fate of various ships having been confirmed by the Developers, complete with a link - that that led nowhere, because the boards had been hacked after the link was generated, and the area was inaccessible through internet resources like the Wayback Machine, making it impossible to dig the ruling out. I hate the idea of losing relevant information when we can do something to preserve it here {{Emoticon| ;) }} [[User:BrokenMnemonic|BrokenMnemonic]] ([[User talk:BrokenMnemonic|talk]]) 01:25, 25 March 2014 (PDT) | |
− | :::Why yes, of course that makes complete sense! I agree that placing the actual text here is a great idea, and I guess I hadn't thought of it, but there must have been a lot of information loss at the great BT crash of 2011. I just have to remember how it gets all laid out when you do add it though... -[[User:BobTheZombie|BobTheZombie]] ([[User talk:BobTheZombie|talk]]) 04:23, 25 March 2014 (PDT)
| |
− | ::::I normally just go back to an entry I've already used a quote in and copy and paste - Colonial Tractors is my go-to at the moment. It catches me out when people change title/post though - Herb's no longer Lead Developer, for example, although I keep forgetting that. One problem I have found that isn't obvious is that some URLs don't work well with the quote code. It's usually best to use the URL for a message within a thread, rather than for the thread - thread title URLs seem to break the quote code. You can tell if that's the problem because the mask for the hyperlink shows up empty. [[User:BrokenMnemonic|BrokenMnemonic]] ([[User talk:BrokenMnemonic|talk]]) 12:46, 25 March 2014 (PDT)
| |
− | :::::I remembered that he wasn't but he posted in the developers thread and didn't care much. I'll try to find urls to posts inside next time. -[[User:BobTheZombie|BobTheZombie]] ([[User talk:BobTheZombie|talk]]) 13:01, 25 March 2014 (PDT)
