:Sorry, didn't know that. Are you also then cross-reversing this, because it is quite a work to be done--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 08:06, 12 July 2023 (EDT)

::No worries. Yea, it's going to take a bit of time going through them all. Maybe months. But undo'ing the ones from the last few minutes I can take care of. --[[User:Csdavis715|Csdavis715]] ([[User talk:Csdavis715|talk]]) 08:08, 12 July 2023 (EDT)

==Helping out with Family Trees==
 
Hey Ps, just looking at your new [[Dinah Marik]] article. It is good that these last characters from the family trees get added, but could you do me a favor and when doing characters with relatives, could you be sure to add citations to the family members in the infobox as well. Even if it is all the same reference it saves me having to go check next time I am doing family tree work!--[[User:Dmon|Dmon]] ([[User talk:Dmon|talk]]) 11:51, 11 September 2023 (EDT)
 
:Will do that. It is a copy of ond of the brothers, who does not have it. There will be a loooot of with that! 🤣--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 15:33, 11 September 2023 (EDT)
 
::Sorry for slow reply, I had not noticed that you had replied. And yes, sadly there will be a LOT of copy/paste the same reference but it is better than trying to put it into the family tree itself. (you have seen how horrible the code is for them even without references). So when somebody clicks on a character in a tree, we need them to see all the siblings etc are referenced, just so people can feel confident the tree is correct.
 
 
::Also, reversed your edit adding in the Devalis surname to [[Carolina Devalis]]'s mother as we don't know she had the same surname. (She likely did as this is BattleTech).--[[User:Dmon|Dmon]] ([[User talk:Dmon|talk]]) 07:35, 15 September 2023 (EDT)
 
:::Where I live marriage does not carry a change in surnames, but in Battletech universe it seems it is always the "saxon" way, that was the point, but OK with your change.--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 07:42, 15 September 2023 (EDT)
 
::::I actually agree you are likely correct, but we don't actually know for sure.--[[User:Dmon|Dmon]] ([[User talk:Dmon|talk]]) 08:31, 15 September 2023 (EDT)
 
 
==Armorcast BattleTech==
 
This is the website of the former owner of Armorcast. The page is a copy of Armorcast's BattleTech online catalog. [http://timdp.members.sonic.net/battletech/ Armorcast BattleTech] --[[User:Cache|Cache]] ([[User talk:Cache|talk]]) 09:37, 7 November 2023 (EST)
 
:I think it is work having here on sarna just in case.--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 09:38, 7 November 2023 (EST)
 
::I'm sorry for not being clear. I was sharing the website for your reference. That is the most accurate information on the kits, as well as better quality pictures. (I'm just not in a position to contribute more at the moment.)--[[User:Cache|Cache]] ([[User talk:Cache|talk]]) 09:43, 7 November 2023 (EST)
 
:::OK, thanks. I'll review and update based on your copy of the page!!--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 11:54, 7 November 2023 (EST)
 
::::I was reviewing this again and realized that an article already had been created for Armorcast's BattleTech miniatures. It might be best to merge your recent article into the old: [[Miniatures - Armorcast]]--[[User:Cache|Cache]] ([[User talk:Cache|talk]]) 16:42, 10 November 2023 (EST)

Hi Pseterrav, I'm Fredericmora. Can we talk? There is something I would to ask you. F
 
 
==Sir Roger articles==
 
Hi Pserratv, in speaking with other senior admins on Discord, we determined/confirmed that [[Sir Roger]] is not canon and because of that, we will be moving the 4 mech pages from its publication into the main article as a subsection. I will do my best to make sure nothing is omitted. [[User:Csdavis715|Csdavis715]] ([[User talk:Csdavis715|talk]]) 05:06, 4 January 2024 (EST)
 
: No worries. Tell which will be the new place and I'll try to review this.--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 17:19, 4 January 2024 (EST)
 
:: Ok, take a look and let me know what you think. It was pretty much a copy/paste. [[User:Csdavis715|Csdavis715]] ([[User talk:Csdavis715|talk]]) 07:42, 6 January 2024 (EST)
 
 
==Tina Rosche and Evan Kaiple==
 
Hi again! Could I ask you to take a look at your [[Tina Rosche]] article? It looks like almost the whole main body was copied from the Andrew Giggins page and doesn't really pertain to Rosche, aside from her presumably being with her unit during those events. I think most of it can be removed.
 
 
Second, the [[Evan Kaiple]] page is very long and has 2 challenges I'm hoping you can fix more easily than me: 1) it needs some subheaders to organize the history into sections and make it easier to read, and 2) it needs to be in the past tense. Thanks! [[User:Csdavis715|Csdavis715]] ([[User talk:Csdavis715|talk]]) 08:08, 6 January 2024 (EST)
 
: Done except the past tense... not sure what you want.--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 11:17, 9 January 2024 (EST)
 
:: (Apologies for jumping in...) Preterite tense or imperfect tense. Much of the article is written as though it is currently happening. It should be written as though it happened in the past. For example, "The unit discovers that the next mission was in Skye." should be, "The unit discovered that the next mission was on Skye."--[[User:Cache|Cache]] ([[User talk:Cache|talk]]) 12:35, 9 January 2024 (EST)
 
:::Got it. I'll try to review it, but not this week.--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 04:20, 10 January 2024 (EST)
 
::I cleaned up the first part of the Kaiple article up to the section on Skye. Putting in the subheaders helped a lot. I'll check back in next week and do a little more if you haven't had tmie to look at it by then. Also thanks for cleaning up the Rosche page. [[User:Csdavis715|Csdavis715]] ([[User talk:Csdavis715|talk]]) 20:57, 15 January 2024 (EST)
 
:I did until "Shinonoi", but no more. If you can cleanse the rest, better.--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 11:54, 17 January 2024 (EST)
 
::All done now, thanks for your help. It's a lot for one character, isn't it?! [[User:Csdavis715|Csdavis715]] ([[User talk:Csdavis715|talk]]) 12:29, 30 January 2024 (EST)
 
:::Maybe too much, but those diaries cover a lot of detailed information which maybe I wrote too much.--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 13:40, 30 January 2024 (EST)
 
 
==George Adlet==
 
Hi Pserratv, could I ask you to take a look at [[George Adlet]]? I just did a touchup of the page but couldn't figure out the 3 parts I marked. Thanks [[User:Csdavis715|Csdavis715]] ([[User talk:Csdavis715|talk]]) 00:28, 25 February 2024 (EST)
 
:I've reviewed them and madeone amendment while settign details and pages of the points marked. Hope this helps.--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 17:42, 3 March 2024 (EST)
 
::So, I wasn't really asking for citations there, or I would have used the <nowiki>{{cn}}</nowiki> tag. I figured the one in the article lead was a typo, but for the other two I was looking for clarification on the meaning of what you wrote. I don't have that book and you didn't link to anything that could explain what a Greenlander, Inuit, or Dankova is. I think it would be helpful to any reader if all information we write can be explained or accessed without requiring a book. [[User:Csdavis715|Csdavis715]] ([[User talk:Csdavis715|talk]]) 01:23, 4 March 2024 (EST)
 
:::Got it now and I'm going to amend that, using wiki in most cases as they are existing terms.--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 08:53, 4 March 2024 (EST)
 
::::Now that I know what you meant, I was able to smooth it out. Thanks for your time and help improving this. [[User:Csdavis715|Csdavis715]] ([[User talk:Csdavis715|talk]]) 09:47, 4 March 2024 (EST)
 
 
== MWDA content ==
 
 
As I know that you aren't on Discord, I'm unable to forward you in the direction of the resource Google drive we are using for MWDA content. However I can let you know that we have found the lance lists that were on the dossiers are not in the [[MechWarrior: Dark Age - Dossiers and Pilot Cards]] resource. Additionally we have found small differences between all the different fan-created compendiums and other resources. Finally we are taking pictures of MWDA models and cards to place on the wiki, which will also assist in the creation of the character articles and many others. I am using [[MechWarrior: Dark Age - Miniatures]] for a staging area and doing modifications to the display of such data.
 
 
Helping with all of this is [[User:Tumult&Travail]], who is going though these MWDA meta-sources and cleaning up a fair amount of pages that either took from them, or say that they did. I'll let him expand on that himself.
 
--[[User:Deadfire|Deadfire]] ([[User talk:Deadfire|talk]]) 14:21, 19 March 2024 (EDT)
 
: I guess I've been called in here. I wouldn't say they're [[Canon#Meta-sources|meta-sources]] as Sarna uses the term - I don't believe anyone's been directly citing ''unofficial'' compilations and the like - but there are a number of pages around with poor citations of DA dossiers dating back to the early days of Sarna. Individual dossiers directly linked in bibliographies without any indication of what, if any, material was drawn from them, usually. I've been mostly on break from sweeping those up for the last month or so, mostly because I have a lot on my plate otherwise, so there's still [https://www.sarna.net/wiki/index.php?search=sarna.net+dossier+pdf&title=Special%3ASearch&profile=default&fulltext=1 too many pages] to go. The goal's to cite what hasn't been cited, update citations to [[MechWarrior: Dark Age - Dossiers and Pilot Cards|the most current publication of the dossiers]] when applicable (with the caveat that some fragments of info, like the lance lists, never made it into the most current publication), clear direct links to dossiers from bibliographies, and basically push things from 2008 standards to 2024 standards. --[[User:Tumult&#38;Travail|Tumult&#38;Travail]] ([[User talk:Tumult&#38;Travail|talk]]) 18:12, 19 March 2024 (EDT)
 
::I'm using as reference the two documents that are being shared in the classic battletech pages. If there are new sources, you can contact me in mail e-mail address. it is easy... it is gmail with this user.--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 09:03, 21 March 2024 (EDT)
 
:::Aye, it is just that easy. I shared the Google drive folder with your Gmail. That should provide you what all we are looking at with this.--[[User:Deadfire|Deadfire]] ([[User talk:Deadfire|talk]]) 12:28, 24 March 2024 (EDT)
 
::::Thanks, downloading them :).--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 12:35, 24 March 2024 (EDT)
