Personal welcome

Hey HF22,

I am extremely excited that we uncovering some BT material that had slipped under the radar of us here at Sarna and almost into obscurity. I just wanted to say thank you for adding the new fiction to the LinkNet article hope you stay with us on this!--Dmon (talk) 15:58, 12 May 2019 (EDT)

I'll echo this. Thank you, and carry on! Frabby (talk) 16:13, 12 May 2019 (EDT)

MWDA Scenarios

Man, you really took up the ball and ran with it there! I can't tell you how glad I am that someone who actually seems knowledgeable about the subject matter is covering this (MWDA basically happened during my BT hiatus and was over just as I came back to the hobby). Really really helpful - thanks a million! Award is definitely in order: Substantial Addition Award, 1st ribbon Frabby (talk) 02:21, 5 May 2020 (EDT)

No problem, always fun to recover these missing pieces of the lore. Now I just have to finish the remaining 80 or so :) HF22 (talk) 02:30, 5 May 2020 (EDT)

Did the email not come through? I'll DM you a cloud link on the official forums instead - Let me know if it doesn't work. HF22 (talk) 06:15, 3 May 2021 (EDT)

William Marik

Hey HF22, I don't want to get in the way of your editing, so are you on to move William Marik to William Marik (29th c.) and create a disambiguation or should I come back later and do it?--Dmon (talk) 02:11, 29 May 2021 (EDT)

I wasn't sure what the preference was on that (was actually about to ask on the Discord), but based on your confirmation I'll do that now. HF22 (talk) 02:15, 29 May 2021 (EDT)
All good then :-)--Dmon (talk) 02:21, 29 May 2021 (EDT)

Nice solid addition to the wiki, HF22. It's not often that a bio can be added/created with such substance, when present in previous sources. Thank you for that.--Revanche (talk|contribs) 06:09, 29 May 2021 (EDT)

Individual Spacecraft discussion

Good morning, HF22. I thought—with your interest in the genre—you might like to be aware of the call for discussion about updating the templates here. --Revanche (talk|contribs) 09:34, 4 June 2021 (EDT)

Baron of Mirach

Hey HF22,

Made an edit to the House Sandowski but I want to give you a heads up because I not have access to the source material so I could be wrong. I have changed the family title to just Baron because the wording in the article reads as such "Baroness Jade Sandowski was rewarded with a Barony on Mirach.", the on implies to me that it was not the entire world and likely just a fiefdom. However the Dark Age book Ruins of Power also has a Baron as Planetary Governor who is not expressly indicated to be Baron of Mirach, but the idea is not without merit.--Dmon (talk) 12:26, 3 July 2021 (EDT)

I'm ok with the change. I went back and forwards on this because the source has a pull quote on the first page which it attributes to "Jade Sandowski, Baroness of Mirach, to elements of the Seventh Crucis Lancers", but then the situation brief talks of her being "rewarded with a Barony on part of the Hegemony's part of Mirach". So the Barony certainly didn't cover the whole world, even though it may have been referred to as "of Mirach" informally. HF22 (talk) 21:35, 3 July 2021 (EDT)
All good then. I half did it as a safety precaution against myself, if it was left as a redlink there was the risk I might come back at some point in the future and create an article without noticing the exact wording!--Dmon (talk) 01:02, 4 July 2021 (EDT)

Italics

Hello. I made corrections to the Wolf's Dragoons characters that you have added so far. The current style guide is a little lacking at the moment, but a new one is being created. The short of it is that vehicles are not italicized (Pegasus, Saracen, Schrek...). VTOLs are not specifically mentioned in the guide (yet) but, judging by what I see in BT products, they should not italicized either. Regards.--Cache (talk) 17:34, 15 July 2021 (EDT)

Thanks, and noted for future reference. HF22 (talk) 18:42, 15 July 2021 (EDT)

Wolf's Dragoons Bios

Hey HF22! Quick question - Do you think its wise to have bios on every character mentioned in the Wolf's Dragoons sourcebook, given that the vast majority of them would never be mentioned in another BattleTech product, and our information on them is usually limited to their name and their assignment at the time? Thanks. ClanWolverine101 (talk) 11:16, 22 July 2021 (EDT)

For what it's worth, if you have the time and the willpower to get the job done, I'm all for it. There are a lot of other one-off characters from novels and other (non-phonebook-listing) sourcebooks with their own articles.--Cache (talk) 16:38, 22 July 2021 (EDT)
