- Technically, Image Import Awards need to be awarded by Admins, but given that I was coming here to award you with one for all your work providing updated images for various articles, it seems fitting that I endorse Doneve's. I appreciate the work you're doing, and i'd like to join Doneve in thanking you for your efforts.BrokenMnemonic (talk) 12:14, 8 November 2014 (PST)
Welcome!
Greetings, and a somewhat belated welcome from me, too! Let me echo BobTheZombie, you've gotten off to a great start indeed. I noted you've been working on the Unseen article, which really badly needs a workover that I've conssitently postponed doing myself for many years. So I'm very glad that you're doing this, especially as you seem to be knowledgeable on the subject. Have an award:
Sidenote regarding the Leopard: Like the Galleon tank it was never expressly declared unseen, but it is clearly taken from the same third-party anime sources as the unseen BattleMechs. Frabby (talk) 02:18, 8 November 2014 (PST)
- Thank you for the award. I've put off updating my own website with any of the recent events regarding the Unseen because that is going to be a good bit of work. Updating articles here is so much easier. I'm still confused about some like the Thunderbolt and Locust, which have appeared in recent products but are still on the Unseen list at bg.battletech.com. I would ask about them over there but I'm not sure I want to poke the hornet's nest.
- In regards to the Galleon tank, it was declared Unseen, just not immediately. I guess the initial focus was on 'Mechs. The Leopard, Corsair, and Sparrowhawk are inspired by Crusher Joe designs but not direct copies like the Galleon, Samurai, and Locust. Cache (talk) 09:14, 9 November 2014 (PST)
Images
Hi Cache, be advised that it is not necessary to upload additional images of units unless these images are somehow relevant content. We might get into legal hot waters otherwise, as the Fair Use rationale may not apply if an image is uploaded for no particular reason. See also Policy:Images.

- My thought when uploading the extra images was to show other artist's depiction of the units, since there tends to be major differences. Is that relevant enough or should I stick to uploading only pictures of variants that are not already present? Cache (talk) 09:01, 16 November 2014 (PST)
- I'm not an expert with the policies, but the different artists' renditions can vary quite a bit, so I'd say that it'd be reason enough to add them. -BobTheZombie (talk) 09:32, 16 November 2014 (PST)
