User talk:Communibus locis

Welcome

Welcome aboard! Thanks for adding the info on early BT history. Also, thank you for taking the time to do it properly with the categories and headings.

As a courtesy for other editors, it is a BattleTechWiki guideline to sign your talk page and user talk page posts. To do so simply add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comments and your user name (or IP address, if you are editing anonymously) and the date will be automatically added along with a timestamp. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion). For further info see the talk page guidelines. Thank you.

Great job!

I really appreciate how you've vastly improved BTW's offerings this month. Even the small events deserve articles and you've increased the value of the project accordingly. Thanks, too, for referencing the origin of the articles. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 21:18, 27 January 2008 (CST)

Just love BattleTech and decided to start from the top and work my way down. It's been fun! Locis 07:50, 28 January 2008 (CST)

I'd like to second Revanche here, you are doing a sterling job (still, after almost a year!). Thank you for the amount and quality of your edits, and keep up the good work! Frabby 14:21, 1 December 2008 (PST)

Thank you for the kind words. I took a little time off there but I'm back and more addicted then ever! Sorry I've been letting the timeline lapse a bit but I'm picking up on the Korvin Doctrine soon. I just got the Blake documents and the Blaine Lee Pardoe book on the Wolverines so I'm a little preoccupied with that. I revise my earlier statements, Clan Wolverine is my favorite ANNIHILATED clan ;) ...lol. Locis 16:12, 1 December 2008 (PST)

p.s. Congrats on making admin! Locis 16:14, 1 December 2008 (PST)

Ruler articles

Locis, per the discussion on Policy talk:Notability, articles that are created with insufficient information are subject to deletion. Given your history of good edits and substantial contributions, I really hate to do this, but the mass of articles you've created on various Inner Sphere rulers are subject to this. I do not want to delete them, so please make an effort to go back through them and write something substantive about those characters.

Please note that the policy has not been fully fleshed out, so I will not be deleting them at this time. I just wanted to bring your attention to the fact that community consensus is currently against very short articles. An example of another effective way to do what you have done with these articles is at Federated Suns#Rulers. Thank you. --Scaletail 17:12, 16 December 2008 (PST)

I apologize. Here are my rational:

• Tired of red links for everything
• Seeding of Rulers might encourage others to expand
• Just first pass at writing articles, intended to come back and flesh out as I get ambitious
• Putting in Positions and dates isn't all that easy; 25% or so take research for the dates and titles
• I felt that the positions tables provided value based on the linking backwards and forwards to other articles
• I did not read completely the Projects Biography section
• I will remove myself from that project at this time

Regardless, take what steps are necessary to keep the Wiki clean. I will refrain from here on out (Marik, Periphery and minor Hegemony are left). Again, I apologize. Locis 17:32, 16 December 2008 (PST)
