Welcome

Welcome, BobTheZombie, to BattleTechWiki!

We look forward to your contributions and want to help you get off to a good strong start. Hopefully you will soon join the army of BattleTech Editors! If you need help formatting the pages, visit the manual of style. For general questions go to the Help section or the FAQ. If you can't find your answer there, please ask an Admin.

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

• For policies and guidelines, see The Five Core Policies of BattleTechWiki and the BTW Policies. Another good place to check out is our market of Projects, to see how the smaller communities within BTW do things in their particular niche areas.
• Each and every page (articles, policies, projects, images, etc.) has its very own discussion/talk page, found on the tab line at the top of the page. This is a great place to find out what the community is discussing along that subject and what previous issues have already been solved.
• 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.
• If you're not registered, then please consider doing so. At the very least, you'll have a UserPage that you own, rather than sharing one with the community.
• Also consider writing something about yourself on your UserPage (marked as "BobTheZombie" at the top of the page, though only do this if you're registered). You'll go from being a 'redshirt' to a 'blueshirt,' with the respect of a more permanent member.
  • This is really helpful for the admins, as it gives your account that touch of "humanity" that assists us in our never-ending battle with spambots.
• For your first few edits on the wiki, please do not add any URLs (which can be an indicator of SPAM).
• Consider introducing yourself on our Discord server.
• In your Preferences, under the edit tab, consider checking 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 following visits by clicking on 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 (~~~~) or by clicking on the circled button in this image; this will automatically produce your name (or IP address, if you are editing anonymously) and the date.

Again, welcome to Sarna's BattleTechWiki!

Weapons List

• Please see my response. -- Wrangler (talk) 11:01, 19 January 2014 (PST)

Almost done... -BobTheZombie (talk) 11:07, 19 January 2014 (PST)

No worries. If there something going on you think i should be ware of, that fine with me. Keep the good work up! -- Wrangler (talk) 13:41, 19 January 2014 (PST)

Operation Guerrero

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.--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). Thanks. -BobTheZombie (talk) 04:25, 21 January 2014 (PST)

Be advised that Zurich wasn't part of the second wave. You should add a section that covers actions by rebels/revolutionaries/terrorists that were supported by Marik Mercs. Northwind would fall under this category.--Aldous (talk) 04:43, 21 January 2014 (PST)

Content

Hello, I moved all content of the pages which are listed of the CCAF -talk page. You can now delete the pages with out any further concern. With best regards Neuling (talk) 00:46, 26 January 2014 (PST)

Cockpit Page

Again, thank you for writing this page. You deserve this: --S.gage (talk) 09:58, 1 February 2014 (PST)

Why, thank you! I guess it could still use some work, but I first wanted to save it from the decrepit form it used to have. Thanks again! -BobTheZombie (talk) 10:44, 1 February 2014 (PST)

SIAMS Training Group

Hello. Why is Leftenant General not italicized but Sao Shao is?--Aldous (talk) 18:25, 19 February 2014 (PST)

Leftenant General falls under the category of normal ranks that don't need to be italicized. See the policy talk page concerning this:

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

That is why I thought the rank in question didn't need the italics, but the others did. -BobTheZombie (talk) 18:34, 19 February 2014 (PST)

Spot on. BrokenMnemonic (talk) 00:06, 28 February 2014 (PST)

Casual Edit Award

Good morning Bob (I have to keep reminding myself to not type Bub - I've watched Day of the Dead too many times)
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:

Once I've checked your contributions log to make sure that you've made at least one edit to a random file, of course... BrokenMnemonic (talk) 00:06, 28 February 2014 (PST)

Thank you very much! That means a lot to me, though sadly I've never seen Day of the Dead before... -BobTheZombie (talk) 14:36, 28 February 2014 (PST)

Assistance Appreciated Award

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. --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. -BobTheZombie (talk) 07:15, 14 March 2014 (PDT)
