==Placeholder articles==
Hi Neuling, and thank you for the mercenary command articles. Two points though: You have inserted a "cleanup" tag, but I think the template you really want to use is "stub". Which brings me to the second point, do you intend to expand these placeholders into full articles? If so, great; but if not, then be advised that we have the [[List of minor mercenary units]] article specifically for the purpose of putting down such data. If and when you have enough material on a merc unit to warrant their own article, go ahead and create the article (deleting the unit from the List article). But please do not create essentially empty placeholders. [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] 09:09, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

==Use NEW Merc template==

Hello Neuling,  there have been recent changes to Sarna's website.  As you are placing high number of mercenary articles on line.  It appears your still using the OLD template that has problems.  Recently a new ones has been made, please use; [[Help:CreateMercenaryUnitArticle]]. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 12:09, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

== Operation Guerrero changes ==
Hi. I'm the guy who wrote the Operation Guerrero page, and I was wondering why you removed so much of the article. Several of the elements that you excised, particularly the Capellan operations, were needed to properly set the stage for the invasion in my opinion. --[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 13:08, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
:I've restored most of my original article text. I've also included the summary tables you created. I did this for several reasons:
:# You removed information that was important to the article. (Pre-Guerrero Capellan operations)
:# The text you included was confusing.
:# Some of the text you had (units, etc.) was incorrect.
:I really like the tables you created and wish I had thought of them first. I think that between your summary tables and my original text the article is great. I hope you agree with me once you've reviewed the article. --[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 22:09, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

==Image Question==

==DCMS Unit tables==
Hey bro, Not to be a killjoy or anything but looking at your new unit tables in the DCMS article I think we should possibly consider rolling them back to the old way as IMHO they are a little "squashed" looking now. --[[User:Dmon|Dmon]] 15:45, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
:and looking at it again it also removes the individual brigades from the contenst at the top of the page. --[[User:Dmon|Dmon]] 15:48, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

== Clan Goliath Scorpion page update ==
Neuling, I finished making the Goliath Scorpion rank insignia. After I put them on the appropriate [[:category:Military Ranks|rank]] pages, I also updated the [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]] page with to use the images. I've also moved the Rank insignia to near the bottom of the page so the unit organization information can stay together. Hope you like it!--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 18:32, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

:Hi [[User:Mbear|Mbear]], I overworked the clan articles for you. You can put your images/files direct in the table. The ranktable is only a shell for your work. Great that we can work together and yes I like your work. [[User:Neuling|Neuling]] 00:29, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

==Award: Image Import==
Neuling, normally I would wait to see how someone uses the images they imported before providing this award, but I have confidence you'll be placing them all in their respective articles or a gallery very shortly. So, in light of the sheer amount of uploading of new imagery you did today (95 at current count), I award you the II ribbon:
:[[File:ImgImp.jpg|Image Import Award, 1st ribbon]]

== Clean-ups ==

Good morning, Neuling. Please review your recent contributions, such as those for [[Word of Blake ROM‎‎]] and [[Tmi]], as well as others. Other Editors have noted that the articles don't meet BTW's standards for informative articles and don't have the criteria for proper formatting. I'd prefer you complete some of these articles, by providing wikilinks and references and describing what they are [what is 'Tmi'? I've never heard of it.], before adding more articles. Since they are notable enough to be included by you, I hope they're notable enough to be saved by you, as well. Thank you. --[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 11:28, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

==ComStar ROM==
Evening, Neuling. Please consider merging [[Rom comstar‎‎ ]] with the pre-existing [[ROM]]. Its been decided that there shall only be two articles: ROM (which deals with ComStar ROM from its inception, thru the Schism, to the current Jihad era) and [[Word of Blake ROM]], which starts at the Schism. --[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 01:22, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

:Hi, I have no problem with your decicion. I put the two articles from me in to the existing ROM article. I can't decide which information are useful for the community and I have uploaded the logos for all agencies. It is your decicion now. Make it a hole cohensive. [[User:Neuling|Neuling]] 07:05, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

::The WOB ROM article was fine. We just didn't need two different articles about ComStar's ROM. --[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 10:56, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

== Images ==
Good morning Neuling! I took the liberty of updating the [[DMI]] and [[FIC]] pages to move the insignias into a gallery. I did that because the images were breaking the layout of the article and making it harder to read. By putting the images into a gallery, the flow of the article remains intact and people will still be able to see what branch uses which insignia.

In case you want to start using galleries, you can find the info on the [[Policy:Images]] page, but here's a quick how to:

1. Create a header that reads '''''Agency name'' insignias'''.

2. Paste this code underneath your new header

<pre>
<gallery>
Image:filename.jpg|Descriptive caption of image.
Image:filename.png|Descriptive caption of image.
Image:filename.gif|Descriptive caption of image.
</gallery>
</pre>

3. Replace '''filename.jpg''' with your file name.

4. Press the '''Save Page''' button, and you're done!

You can also insert a gallery from the image based toolbar. Press the fourth button from the right side to have the editor insert a '''gallery''' tag for you.

Thanks, and keep up the good work with importing images!--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 15:30, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

==Princfield Military Academy==
Hello, Neuling.  Your (slightly misspelled) article is duplicating information.  Is possible to move your content to REDIRECT that has correct spelling. Right now its just re-direct to FWL list of schools with Princefield Military Academy listed.{{Unsigned|Wrangler|06:47, 2 April 2010}}

==All-capital letter article titles==
Hello Neuling, please do not create articles with all-capitals titles, like AITUTAKI ACADEMY‎ --> correct title Aitutaki Academy, NAIS COLLEGE OF MILITARY SCIENCES (NAMA) --> correct title would be NAIS College of Military Sciences (NAMA).

I do realize that the BattleTech font often appears to be all capitals, but that is not the style we use here on BTW. There are only a few cases where the correct article title spelling would call for all-capitals, usually in abbreviations/acronmys such as NAIS, AFFS or MIIO. [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] 09:48, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

===AITUTAKI ACADEMY‎===
Hi Neuling,  Can you changing the name from AITUTAKI ACADEMY‎; to Aitutaki Academy.  Nothing on Sarna, has itself spelled in CAPs.  Thanks! -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 11:39, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

== Good Humor Award (a.k.a. "We're not picking on you")==
Neuling, I know you've been getting a lot of comments recently about changes to your articles and requests to modify them. As one of those people, I'm giving you a Good Humor Award for listening to us make these comments and not throwing a temper tantrum.

[[File:GH.jpg|Good Humor Award, 1st ribbon]]

We're not picking on you or saying your work is poor when we make these suggestions. Speaking only for myself (but I think the others would agree) your articles are adding a great deal to BTW, and I'm trying to hold you up to a higher standard so your articles become even better.

Keep up the good work, and remember: Keep smiling.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 14:25, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

== Can you do me a favor?==
Neuling, can you please start putting references in your articles? You have a lot of good information, but I can't find it in my source materials because I don't know where to look. Thanks!--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 14:52, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 
:No problem can you make me an overview please, were I have forget the source of my information to put on. Tnx [[User:Neuling|Neuling]] 15:00, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

::Most of it appears to be in the [[AFFS]] unit pages. I've split each command into other pages, so you'll have to follow a few links to get to the pages. One example is the [[Avalon Hussars]] page.
::"At its zenith, the Avalon Hussars defended the entire Combine border with 26 BattleMech regiments and 32 conventional regiments."
::Where did you find this fact? That's interesting, and I want to know more. Stuff like that appears in a lot of the AFFS military units you've created.
::Thanks!--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 15:35, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

== Good Work! ==

Neuling, I just logged in with the intent of continuing to replace the tables on the [[FWLM]] page with a heading and list when I discovered that you'd beaten me to it! Way to go! These look good and make the page flow a lot better.

== Operation Ice Storm ==
Hi Neuling, I like some of the improvements to the article.  However, i think that listing Ice Hellion's Clutters with the Galaxy in beginning of the article is un-necessary since there are already wiki-links through Galaxy wiki-links, it just makes the page more clustered. I'm uncertain listing all the naval assets on the top is good idea either. I listed them as they appeared in the campaign, that should enough without being too cluttering.  -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 19:04, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

::Hi Neuling, I love how you colored map for Operation: Ice Storm.  Do you think you can make a second picture?  Namily one that high lights (lightly, like faded yellow) the area where the fighting was happening?  The map you colored has borders for where Ice Hellions were fighting with Falcons and Horses. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 00:05, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

::::We only need the Ice Hellion's Invasion corridor version, from Jihad Secrets. I thought if you can take your map you already made, just highlight the invasion area of Ice Hellion's fighting in yellow or light color, it would help reader looking at article get idea where the invasion happened. If its too much, don't worry about it. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 18:30, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Neuling, when uploading (or re-uploading) picture files please remember to provide source data, especially stating the Artist, Source and Licensing. All files need to provide these. [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] 11:19, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

::I've been looking over the images on BTW and noticed that many of your picture uploads have misspelled names (Romani-liao, Takeshi Kurita, etc.) - please be more careful here. Not only does it look unprofessional, it also makes the files hard to find for people who are looking for pictures of a given character.
::The other thing is that many pics you uploaded are not actually used in any article.

==Vintain's Vigilantes==
Hi Neuling, I see you're taking merc units out of the [[List of minor mercenary units]] and creating full-blown articles on them. Thanks for that! But there is one unit - Vintain's Vigilantes - which you removed but for which you did not (yet) create an article. I even doubt there is enough information on that particular unit to warrant their own article. I suppose you mixed them up with [[Vinson's Vigilantes]]? If that is the case please say so, so that the entry for Vintain's Vigilantes can be restored to the minor mercs list. [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] 18:44, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

== Tiny spelling error. ==

Neuling, I just looked at your [[Clan Territory Wars]] page. Looks incredible! So much information.
And thanks for using tables to only present table data. I know you're not really comfortable doing that, but you're doing good work by listing the information as a list, and using the tables to present stuff that should be in tables. (I'm not really saying this well. What I'm trying to say is you're using the tables and lists appropriately, and if I could get the people in my office to do the same thing I'd be happy!)

One thing though: You're using "loose" instead of "lose". The first means not tight or not restrained, and the second means not victorious. (Don't feel badly though, there are a lot of English speakers who mess this up as well.)

Some examples that may help:
Loose as in "to unleash":
*"Once Wolf's Dragoons turned loose their firepower, the ''Ryuken'' were bound to lose the conflict on Misery."
*"The Smoke Jaguars' loosed the firepower of the ''Sabre Cat'' on Turtle Bay. This was the first step to their annihilation."

Loose as in "to not restrain":
*"The FRR loosened the restrictions placed on mercenaries in 3050, after the Clan invasion."

Like I said, it's a minor thing, but it's a pet peeve of mine. And if you're going to learn English by using the wiki, you may as well learn the correct words, right?

Have a good one!--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 14:19, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello Neuling, i saw your pirate article Order of the Faithful.  Why don't you use existing template for [[Help:CreateCommandArticle|military commands]] to put your article? There is already Pirates Commands category as well. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 18:39, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

==Vegan Rangers Regiments==
I see you've created articles named "Alpha Regiment" etc., referring to individual regiments of the 12th Vegan Rangers merc division. Cyc already pointed out that they need to be renamed (everybody and his dog has an Alpha Regiment, so that name is hardly distinctive) but I'd go one step further and suggest merging them into a single article to cover the entire merc unit. There is no reason to break it down into its regiments (or battalions, companies, or lances, for that matter). [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] 12:06, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
:I've created Disambiguation pages for Alpha, Beta, and Gamma regiments that point to the relevant commands.
:We've been going around and around about the Brigade level vs. Regimental level for a while now, and FWIW, I think Neuling's on the right path. Each regiment in the larger units has its own history, organization, and specializations. IMHO, these multi-unit formations should be treated like the multi-unit formations from the House militaries: You wouldn't put all the Davion Guards or Sword of Light regiments on one page, so these units shouldn't be there either.

Hy, bitte adde deine references zu Fourth Succession War, und deinen anderen posts, damit man nachverfolgen kann was für eine source du benutzt und es für andere klar ersichtlich wird.--[[User:Doneve|Doneve]] 10:39, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

== DCMS Unit Formatting ==

Neuling - With all respect, the [[Ronin War]] came before the [[War of 3039]]. Just an fyi? [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 22:12, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Tnx for the advice, I will changed it. [[User:Neuling|Neuling]] 04:17, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

: Hate to be a bother, but its also an issue on the Ghost regiments you're editing. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 20:35, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

== DCMS Unit History Stubs ==
Hello Neuling, i noticed in the [[10th Ghost]] you added a stub for Fourth Succession War and other conflicts in 31st Century. I wanted ask you if your doing this for all units? I don't think its a good idea. There was reason why i had put history section in place then empty wars that unit may or may not fought in if had existed at the time. If you looked up the Ghost, you'd noticed 10th Ghost didn't exist in the Fourth Succession War. I don't think its good idea putting conflict entries into a unit's history. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 19:51, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

:I will rework all units were I make a mistake. I know the Ghost regiments are formed after the 4th succession wars. I wil change this immedatly. It is easier for me in the next step to integrated the information for this time period when the sub section exists. [[User:Neuling|Neuling]] 20:00, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

== Fourth Succession War ==

Neuling - Hope I don't seem petty, but your section headers for the Fourth war use Caps. That's not really standard? Just a thought. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 15:08, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

== Missing Imagine ==
Hi Neuling, i was updating your maps of the Federated Suns.  I appears that [http://www.sarna.net/wiki/File:Fs-3sw-3025.png FedSuns 3025] is not working.  Is possible to fix it? -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 14:08, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

== FCAF? ==

Shouldn't it be AFFC? [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 14:24, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

== Unit Name Conventions ==
Hello, as per [[BattleTechWiki:Project Military Commands]], due to large volume of similarly named Clan units, Clan unit articles need the Clan name in brackets on the end. The two articles you've created as well as the military overviews and events generally don't follow this and create redlinks for articles that BTW has had for awhile. When creating articles it always pays to search and check redlinks in case something is spelt differently or is rendered differently. [[User:Cyc|Cyc]] 13:12, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

== Edit Count Award ==

Neuling, you've been exceptionally active and made nearly two thousand edits, but nobody has awarded you your Edit Count Award.  I have therefor remedied that. [[File:EC1 3s.jpg|Edit Count (1,500)]] ;) --[[User:Peregry|Peregry]] 07:13, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

== Regarding your deployment tables ==

Neuling - Let me say, first, that I respect amount of work you've put into those faction/year deployment tables. 
Having said that, I think myself and a number of other editors have certain concerns about the policies and formatting of these tables, and how it impacts the site as a whole. I would ask that you start a policy discussion on the appropriate talk page, so we can find common ground. Thanks. 
[[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 04:08, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

== Regarding your unit history revamps ==
Neuling, you have been really active re-formating alot unit histories.  You have be more careful, you [[BattleTechWiki_talk:Project_Military_Commands#Page_Structure|steamrolled over]] someone else edits while you putting those generic sub-sections in.  Your not only person editing on Sarna. Take care -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 13:11, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
::Hello Neuling,  As for better format, i think having "history" as section will have to do.  You have to remember, each regiment/battalion/company in Battletech universe has unique histories, they didn't all do same thing or fought same wars. ALSO, there alot missing information on alot of house/merc units because no one wrote anything about it in canon.  Mass-editting you been doesn't work, if it did, sarna be done along time ago in my humble opinion.  I would recommend look for units you have information on, just work on ONE unit at a time.  Just put information you have on it into the article.  '''Example:''' You doing something for a 1st Army of Word of Blake (I made this up), they only fought in Invasion of Terra, then you just write under the history section a new sub-section called Invasion of Terra.  All you add, until you would find more.  I work by just add sub-sections when information is FOUND.  Do add more when i find more. There are Lyran units for example that never fought Operation Revival (the Clan Invasion) or Operation Bulldog.  Don't add more sub-sections to histories of the units, let someone who going work on it do it. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 13:49, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

== Table of organization images ==

Neuling, I want to thank you for using the gallery tags to organize your images. It's really a great way to keep things orderly. I do have a request however. When you put a gallery in place on a page, could you please include captions for the images? If you look at the [[Task_Force_Serpent#Smoke_Jaguar_BattleForce_Defence_Forces]] images, the lack of any text on them is really confusing. I realize I can sit down and puzzle out the unit name from the file name, but that's a pain if I want to see the units quickly. Thanks!--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 19:47, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

===Organization Structure===
Hy Mbear, I jump in, then I add the gallery's of Neulings Organzation Structures, but i must say, i talk with Neuling every day in the ICQ, you know we are german natives, and nice to see it comes a notice for Neulings edits, he makes a really good work about the newly added Organization structure, he added it and i fix little thinks (gallery, tags, etc), a hand to hand cooperation, you are the first admin to bring a statement to his last work, ähm sorry for my rough englisch ;), but i think you know what i say..., and again sorry for my grammar ...past and tense failurs in the conversation grml. Greetings --[[User:Doneve|Doneve]] 04:31, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
:I remember both you and Neuling aren't native speakers of English. (And I respect your efforts to learn such a messed-up language!) And I agree, Neuling has made a lot of very nice improvements to the Wiki. If I implied otherwise in my message to him, I'll apologize for that. Neuling's work strikes me as being a "diamond in the rough" as we say over here: A few cuts and trips to the polishing stone and it's great. That's all I meant about the Organization tree images. 
:If you're working in the gallery I mentioned on the [[Task Force Serpent]] page, please realize that my comment wasn't "This sucks, get rid of it" it was "This is a great start, but could be so much better with just a little more effort." It was like seeing someone run a marathon and then deciding to drop out at mile marker 25 instead of finishing the race.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 14:09, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
== Key Planets Gallery‎ ==
Hello Neuling.  Your pictures for your  Key Planets Gallery‎ are way too dark. I don't have reliable paint program, but do you think you can light them up little bit? -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 17:13, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

== Andurien Succession ==

Neuling, you left this message on my talk page but I don't see that you read it. Just to be sure you see it I've copied it here to your page.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 18:07, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Hey Mbear, what is your opinion about my extension of the Andurien Crises. My next project will the Ronin Wars and after that the Anton Marik Revolt. Both Project in two days... :) [[User:Neuling|Neuling]] 16:00, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
:I think you should change your formatting 
:*so it's written in sentences rather than this list format
:*so it doesn't use the "+" sign in the lists, but does use a comma as the separator
:*so it uses the correct referencing system (<nowiki><ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 54</ref></nowiki>)

So instead of this:
;Planet:Repulse 
;MAF Forces:Taskforce Duo (2nd Canopian Light Horse + 2nd Canopian Cuirassiers + 2nd Canopian Fusiliers) 
;CCAF Forces:Kincade’s Rangers 
;Outcome:The numbers count for the invaders but the Rangers had some training cycles with the Death Commandos. The used every possible tactic to soften the Canopian forces up. The Rangers went in the underground. 
;Source:Brush War p. 54

It would read more like this:

On [[Repulse]] the Taskforce Duo (consisting of the [[2nd Canopian Light Horse]], [[2nd Canopian Cuirassiers]], and [[2nd Canopian Fusiliers]]) faced the [[CCAF]]'s [[Kincaid's Rangers]]. Though outnumbering the Rangers three to one, the Rangers had trained alongside the [[Death Commando]]s and used every possible tactic to soften up the invading Canopian forces. They then went underground to continue their resistance.<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 54</ref>

:There's no point in reinventing something that already exists (referencing system), and the lists you're using here are just one step away from a sentence based layout anyway.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 16:13, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

== Historical Event Formatting ==

Neuling, please have a look at [[Operation: Ice Storm]], [[Operation: Sovereign Justice]], and [[Operation: Thunderstrike]] to see some examples of what I mean by using a sentence based structure. These articles are well-written and well-organized. Don't worry about grammar and spelling, I or another editor can help with that. The sentence based structure makes the articles into something more interesting than a series of lists.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 18:11, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Mbear, I read the articles. But that is not my way. Facts is more important to me than to write a well written text. In the short time of my 
membership to this site I have put a huge amount of information to this site. I always respect your work and ask for help when a where on a wrong way. I have changed once my way from tables to a other form of articles but for another change it is not the time. Let me think about it. [[User:Neuling|Neuling]] 18:21, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

:OK, if you want to add just the facts, that's fine. The thing is that the accepted format is to use full sentences. Would you mind if I rewrote your stuff so it used that structure?--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 19:09, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
::And I'm not saying I'm unaware of the work you've done. I am, and yes, there is a lot of it.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 19:12, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
:::I had think about your offer. We can make a deal, if you rewrite the text and I have the chance to put this fact in a overview or summary in someway in the text. What are you thinking?[[User:Neuling|Neuling]] 04:55, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
::::The problem is that you're the only one using the lists/table approach, which is not how any other article was set up. In addition, the lists and tables are disruptive to the flow of the text. At the same time, the tables/lists do provide a good format for skimming (just the facts).
::::How about this: We consolidate all the information about the event into a single table placed at the end of the article, like an appendix. In the introductory text (first paragraph) we let the users know that a table with the information can be found at the end of the article.
::::I picture the table itself looking something like this:
==Force Deployment Summary==
{|class="wikitable zebra" 
|+ Forces Deployed during ''Operation Name''
! Wave !! World !! Attacker !! Defender !! Outcome 
|-
| Wave 1 
| New Avalon
| 45th Shadow Division
| New Avalon CMM
| New Avalon CMM lost 10% of forces. 45th Shadow Division driven off world.
|-
| 
| New Aragon
| 4th McCarron's Armored Cavalry
| New Aragon CMM
| The New Aragon CMM was destroyed by the 4th MAC.
|-
| 
| Kathil
| Death Commandos
| Kathil CMM, 1st Kathil Uhlans
| Death Commandos lost two companies on way in. AFFS defenders destroyed rest on world.
|-
| Wave 2
| New Avalon
| 45th Shadow Division
| New Avalon CMM
| New Avalon CMM lost 30% of forces. 45th Shadow Division driven off world.
|-
|
| Another world
| Attacking force name
| Defending force name
| 
|}

::::By putting the summary tables in a single appendix at the end of the article, we gain consistency across all articles. Users know they can jump to the end to see the summary, and can go back up to the top to get more information. This is also similar to the table format you originally used, but the tables are not scattered through the article forcing users to hunt for the information.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 14:25, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

:::::Neuling, Mbear suggests a compromise. Its not the preferred one I would go with (i.e., we have the established policies agreed upon by the community at large), but it is clear he is trying to find some middle ground. 

:::::I also like the approach you suggested: start a project and have a partner to finish it. However, I don't think it needs to be Mbear and I don't think it is appropriate to do it on a public page, but move it over to a public page from one of your sub-pages. I suggest you find a partner who likes to write, but avoids research. You do the research, he does the writing and when its ready to be unveiled through mutual effort, you transfer it to a new article. 

:::::That gives you three options: 1) the standard way of complete sentences with proper formatting and references by yourself, 2) Mbear's idea of standardized tables or 3) a partner and you completing an article (similar to #1). Which one do you prefer? --[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 23:57, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi Neuling, i see you've started a Star League era project. I'd like let you know, that your getting initials of the Star League Defense Force backwards.  Its SLDF, not SDLF.

== FedCom Civil War ==

Neuling - could you please explain your reasoning for what you did to the [[FedCom Civil War]] article? It looks like you gutted it, and left only the deployment tables. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 19:59, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

:Please accuse me, I saved the article but my browser make a mistake and I didn't realized that this process cut most mof the article and tnx Doneve for your quick help to rebuild the former version of this article. [[User:Neuling|Neuling]] 20:29, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

== Plagiarism ==

I have removed the lists of units you added to [[Clans]], [[Clan Blood Spirit]], and [[Star League Defense Force]]. This material was copied directly from ''[[Combat Operations]]''. According to [[BattleTechWiki:Copyrights]], in order to add written content to BTW, you must own it, which means that you must have written it yourself (unless the text was published under a GFDL or other free license, such as Creative Commons). --[[User:Scaletail|Scaletail]] 00:24, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

== Missing attribution ==

Neuling....whoa...slow down. That is a lot of images and none that I reviewed had any source information added. Remember, unattributed images can be deleted without warning. I'd hate to see all your work deleted with just two clicks of a button. Maybe you should go back and add it to the 86 images you've uploaded just today? Also, each image has to be embedded within an article, also per [[Policy:Images]]. I do know that (now) over 1000 images are due to be erased this weekend. --[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 18:18, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

:Thanks for uploading new, better versions of various images! However, a request: Could you please use the opportunity and provide the source of the image while you're at it, plus artist/licensing information? I realize most of these pics didn't have that information before, but we're trying to establish this as a rule for each and every picture upload. Even the older images need to be updated with such information. [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] 12:23, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

== Problems with Images ==
Hi Neuling, there appears to be a problem.  Some of the images you uploaded, specially in the maps are from non-canon sources. Columbus Cartographic Services was done by someone who became a Battletech freelancer, but his stuff before that wasn't declared canon. This going cause us problems with folks looking for canon info. I'm going need put non-canon labels on those.  Sorry -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 02:42, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

== BTW is not an image repository ==
:''was: "CBT Companion images"''
There are a few issues regarding your recent upload of images from ''[[Classic BattleTech Companion]]'', per [[Policy:Images]]. First, Guideline #2 states that "BTW is not an image repository". Images are to illustrate existing articles. BTW is not and should not be a place to store copyrighted imagery. 

Second, when you upload images (per Guideline #5), you ''must'' include a page number. I did not see page numbers in the description of any of the pictures I viewed.

Finally, the images are not utilized in any articles, which Guideline #2 states. That fact that a copyrighted image is not used in any way could call the "fair use" argument into question and potentially places this website in legal jeopardy. 

I thank you for your attention to these matters. --[[User:Scaletail|Scaletail]] 00:32, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

:I have raised this issue on [[Category talk:Galleries]]. In lieu with the Policy and Nic Jansma's statement, we don't do gallery articles here. Only upload images if/when needed for an article (and not merely a picture gallery). [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] 21:46, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

== Wikilinks ==

Hey, Neuling: just a quick reminder. Don't forget to add wikilinks to [[Nobility]]. The bibliography would be a great place to start.

== Variant formatting ==

Neuling,

The accepted standard for variant formatting doesn't include boldfacing the text, as you did on the [[Lightning (AeroSpace Fighter)]] page. It's just plain text. This is based on the formatting used on the BattleMech pages.

"In the variants section, list the whole designation again. For example, if the HCT-3F Hatchetman is the primary article, in the variant section, start off each entry from the hyphen, followed by a space, another hyphen and one more space. For example:
" * HCT-4M - The variant entry looks like this... "
So if you could remain consistent with the other entries, that would be good. Thanks!--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 21:14, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Fell free when you want to put this information in a unique article. Operation Revival and Jade Falcon incursion article will be modify also in the near future by me.

== Marik/Liao Ofensive page moved ==

Neuling,

Since you're building tables with the [[Operation Guerrero]] information, I've moved the Marik/Liao Ofensive page you created to [[Operation Guerrero Unit Deployment Tables]]. I've also added a '''Seealso''' link on the main OpG page after the '''Military Actions''' header that will take the user directly to your table page. This will leave the text intact, but allow users that like tables to find the information quickly.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 20:21, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

== New infantry unit pages ==

Neuling,

Good work on starting this. Could you do me a small favor though? Just start adding some content to the pages. Even a sentence or two in each section would greatly improve the articles. (And prevent the pages from being marked as deletion candidates or sub stubs!)

Thanks!--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 17:56, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

== Spelling on recent image uploads ==
Hi Neuling, what's the matter with the curious uppercase/lowercase spelling for the recent uploads? Not sure to what extent BTW is case sensitive, but the... unconventional... spelling might cause problems down the road. [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] 20:38, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

== Sub-stub deletions ==

Morning, Neuling. You will porbably want to review [[:Category:Sub-stub]] ''very'' soon, as there a lot of articles you've created that will be deleted in 7 days if they are not brought up above sub-stub status. As someone with over 3,000 edits on BTW and almost 12 months, I'd expect you'd be rather familiar with the [[Policy:Notability|Notability]] policy by now, but if you need it to be explained to you in finer detail, please ask [[User:Frabby|Frabby]], who is also a native German speaker. Right now, it really appears that these articles have been abandoned, and since they don't yet meet the standards on remaining on BTW, I fear they will be lost according to that policy very soon.<br>

Thinking of doing a TOE Format for infantry platoons... while the newer units in the TOE forget about the concept of Line Squads and Support Squads, the ones in BattleTroops more closely followed what you would actually see... I am definately thinking that all of the different infantry images that you have found would be perfect for this... what is the source of them?  --[[User:PerkinsC|Cameron]] 22:16, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

== How to do multiple uses of the same Reference ==

Neuling, pls take a look at my edit to [http://www.sarna.net/wiki/index.php?title=Brion%27s_Legion,_2nd_Regiment&oldid=164572 Brion's Legion, 2nd Regiment] to see how you can use the same reference multiple times. It'll save you time from having to type the same reference more than one and it really cleans up the article too.--[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 21:36, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

== Academy - overview ==

Neuling - I respectfully disagree with the structure you used here. Nearly all the major academies are already addressed on the appropriate military page. For example, the [[Wisdom of the Dragon]] academy is addressed on the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]], and people can just link there. Most academies do not have the amount of published material needed to eventually make their own article, aside from the NAIS and a few others. Care to talk on this? [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 16:51, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

== Encyclopedic time reference ==
Hi Neuling, ich schreibe mal auf Deutsch weil ich das Problem sonst nicht gut erklären kann. Du hast in einigen neuen Charakter-Artikeln einen zeitlichen Bezug zur Gegenwart (z.B. "Marcus Baxter is the '''current''' leader of MAC"). BTW existiert aber nicht in einer bestimmten Zeit. Man kann nicht sagen ob gerade 3025 oder 3052 oder 3072 oder 3135 ist; es ist halt OOC 2011. Deshalb immer absolute Zeitangaben verwenden (also z.B. "Marcus Baxter was the leader of MAC '''as of''' 3052" oder "'''from''' 3050 '''through''' 3067", und relative Worte wie "current", "incumbent" usw. vermeiden weil sie quasi immer falsch sind. Gruß, [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] 19:03, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

== Stub Articles ==

Neuling - I'd like to talk about some of your character articles. Is it wise to create articles that are below the sub-stub level? Honest, many of these characters don't have enough material published to warrant their own article. There are others who do, but instead of using it, you just threw in one line from a single sourcebook. Please don't be offended, but I intend to apply the sub-stub banners where warranted. We shouldn't make articles for the sake of making articles. We should make them because they improve the quality of the wiki, and provide interesting info to the community. If the articles we're putting up don't do either of those things, why bother? [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 02:23, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

:A Time of War reverses that, Neuling appears to be using the A Time of War nomenclature, that is the authoritative book at the momemt (even though it has some buggs)--[[User:PerkinsC|Cameron]] 02:12, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

::<s>I think we can all agree that there is no weapon class called nambu, right?</s> [http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nambu_pistol Apparently] there is. [[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 02:32, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

:::A Time of War uses the [[Class of Weapon (Proper Name)]] standard for Infantry Weapons.  Weapons have traditionally been using the Class of Weapon standard because, with the possible exception of the LB-X (rumored LuBalin-eXperimental in TR2750) all that we have is the Class in the BattleTech Name of the weapon.  I would be the first one to do proper names of Battlemech Weapons, but when you go down to the Manufacturer & Model Level that is more the RPG than BattleTech.  With Infantry Weapons, the case is the Opposite, you have a Class leader Generic weapon that representative of a broad range of weapons that are produced on all or most of the inhabited worlds in the BTU, then you have the Brands of Weapons that each manufacturer that has significance of use & commonality.  Tech Manual tracked each of these with a Parenthetical Proper Name.  Even in the Case of the Nambu Type 4 and the Nambu Type 14, the Nambu refers to the designer of the original weapon rather than a general class of weapon and would be considered a Proper Name rather than the Class.--[[User:PerkinsC|Cameron]] 21:29, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

:::The Difference is that the Stats Published in BattleTech Books for Vehicular Weapons are for the Class, and, when taken down to the Proper Name Level, the Stats on the BattleTech Level would be the Same, for each of the Proper Names that fall into that class fireing any where from 1 to 100 shells, a weapon that falls into the AutoCannon/20 Class does the same amount of damage and has the same range bands.  Infantry Weapons are different, the Classes are loose, and based on is it a Machine Gun, a Rifle, A Sub-Machine Gun, a Machine Pistol, an Auto-Pistol, A Pistol, etc. Each particular Weapon with a proper name has different Stats on the RPG Level which translate to different BattleTech Stats.  It appears that the Powers that Be wanted to make the table Similar to the Larger Weapons table, and put the Class Name First to aid sorting.--[[User:PerkinsC|Cameron]] 21:42, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

== Your 'Mech Variant wikitables ==

Hey, nice idea with the tables for the variants, but I think the fixed width is a rather big problem. Right now, they push the variants beneath the Infobox even at a resolution of 1280x1024. And on my widescreen monitor (1920x1080), the table looks rather squished. How about using 70% instead of 800 to make it fit better?

Alternatively, if it ''was'' your intention to squeeze it beneath the Infobox, I'd suggest using class="wikitable center" for a more consistent width. [[User:Dirk Bastion|Dirk Bastion]] 11:38, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
:I'm just making suggestions, is all. Have a look at the [[Help:Sandbox|Sandbox]]. I think 70% would be better instead of a fixed width, because you have actual text in the table.<br>
:And if you use width, it would be better to use a measurement unit, because some browsers really don't deal well without one - so width='800px' instead of width='800' is usually better. [[User:Dirk Bastion|Dirk Bastion]] 11:55, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
::Take a look at variant #4. Is that what you were going for?? [[User:Dirk Bastion|Dirk Bastion]] 12:21, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

== A response ==

Hello Mbear, i will think about it to include the css formating in my side. And about the tables. I will include tables in articles which are created by me and when I think it looks better. I understand that by larger pages it could increase the bandwitch a little bit. Tables are also a personal taste. The user like it or not. I will always listen to the other users and will think about their arguments. But I reserve the freedom to me to act on creation and will find a solution when problems arise by cooperative works. Sometimes my behavior is unsual, but I have put a lot of information in articles and categories which were orphans before. Neuling 14:51, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
:OK, I want to be clear: I understand your position. I just have a problem with it when you start changing pages to suit your preference without making any effort to build consensus or involve other users, which is what I think you've been doing (although I could be mistaken about that).
:A related issue is that I don't know where we would have a discussion about some of these topics. The Chatterweb hasn't been updated recently and I don't know if it covers the topics we're talking about here anyway. Anyway, good luck and happy editing.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 15:24, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

== Biography Project ==

Neuling - 90% of the characters on your "to-do" list are so minor that writing a quality article about them is not feasible. Please reconsider giving each of them their own article. Thanks. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 16:11, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

== Table captions ==

Hey Neuling. Just wanted to let you know something about your tables (and no, I'm not going to give you a hard time about using them. {{Emoticon| :) }} ) Currently you're using a standard table cell with a colspan attribute and special formatting, like this:

! colspan="3" style="border-bottom:2px solid black"|Battlemech TO&E

You can actually get the same effect by using this:

|+ Battlemech TO&E

One advantage to this is you don't have to remember to change the colspan value if your table grows. It will also save you a few keystrokes.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 16:53, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
