User talk:Dude RB

Welcome

Welcome, Dude RB, 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 "Dude RB" 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!

Editor and Admin Awards

Dude RB, Editors contributing to Sarna typically fall into three categories: single-digit Editors, Site-wide editors, & Focused Interest Editors. They are all valued equally, for each brings a much needed level of attention to issues throughout the overall project. However, every now and then, the efforts of the third type of Editors catch my eye, for they add something that was either sorely neglected or altogether missing. Your focus on beefing up the tracking of the individual issues of miniatures is equal to that of any other type of BattleTech product reported on here and you've certainly added tremendous value to Sarna for your efforts.

I normally don't grant multiple serial awards, but your scope of articles (Miniatures - Catalyst Game Labs, Miniatures - Ral Partha, and Ral Partha Catalogs) each deserve the Admin level Good Article Award for their comprehensive details. (It should be noted you also started Miniatures - FASA, but I suspect that article just doesn't have much more information for you to inject.) As a fellow Editor, I'm also awarding you the Substantial Addition Award for your work improving List of Miniatures.

• 

  Miniatures - Ral Partha

  Ral Partha Catalogs

Finally, I'd like to also recognize your six+ months of Time In Service since you started here. This ribbon, much like the Edit Count Award, can be updated by yourself, as you meet the milestones. I've taken the liberty of adding the ribbons to your User Page ribbon board.

  Time in Service (6 months)

Thank you for your efforts, Dude RB.--Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 14:31, 9 May 2021 (EDT)
