Heavy Metal

Metallica and MechWarrior; two of my favorite things. Also, I hate it when people call "Modern Warfare 3" MW3. That is MechWarrior 3, stupids. Ah, the unenlightened...

For Hire

If there is a page that you know of that needs some grammatical attention, please tell me, and I will do my best to respond and help ASAP.

That would be pretty much any article I go near :-p. On a serious note welcome to the wiki man. Nice to see another metalhead. Also as a little tip when your editing on a a talk page be sure to use the signiture button on the tool bar to sign your comments. --Dmon (talk) 19:14, 19 June 2013 (PDT)

I'm only about halfway done with the page, so I'll try to finish it later today. Thanks for the recognition, too! BobTheZombie (talk) 16:44, 19 June 2013 (PDT)

No problem, if you have some questions, set up a talk to me.--Doneve (talk) 16:46, 19 June 2013 (PDT)

I'm [currently] working on other horrendously worded pages, so give me a little while to get the Emma Centrella page done. BobTheZombie (talk) 23:11, 19 June 2013 (PDT)

Operation MAILED FIST

Can you please stop reverting MAILED FIST to lower case - NATO military options have the name capitalised (i.e. Operation DESERT FOX) and the writers/line developers have indicated that this is the format they intend to use for BattleTech, which is why the more recent publications have shifted to full capitals.

Should Operation Mailed Fist be edited within the Reunification War page to the capital letter form of MAILED FIST in order to form to standard military ops and then have all of the pages re-edited to link to the new capital form of the page? DerangedShadow (talk) 12:08, 24 June 2013 (PDT)

Oh, sorry, I thought I was doing something right, because there was another page with things in caps, and they wanted it changed; I noticed the trend and tried to help. Good thing I didn't get that far... should I revert those that I changed back then? BobTheZombie (talk) 14:28, 24 June 2013 (PDT)

Then there is also an issue with "Taskforce MAILED FIST"; I've seen it both ways on different pages. BobTheZombie (talk) 14:44, 24 June 2013 (PDT)

All-caps spelling for operations has only crept up relatively recently; older BattleTech books didn't do this. While there is obviously a new standard here that we should adhere to, whenever an older canonical source spelled an operation out with only the starting letter capitalized then that, too, is a correct spelling. Since Sarna.net BTW is case sensitive, I'd say the article name about a given operation should spell it in all caps but a redirect should be installed from "normal" spelling for older material where the op was spelled normally.

Well, I don't know how to add redirects, sooo... could someone do it themselves or show me how to? BobTheZombie (talk) 09:00, 28 June 2013 (PDT)
