• By the way, I am very excited that you have enthusiasm about this. Welcome aboard! Nicjansma
  • Thanks, I appreciate that. Revanche 01:15, 18 September 2006 (CDT)
    • You're still rockin' it! Keep up the great work. I'll have more time in the next few weeks to add other articles and stuff. Nicjansma 14:35, 26 September 2006 (CDT)

• It wasn't until after I converted Sarna.net to wiki that I heard about MechWikia. Think we should start a dialogue with them? Maybe they would want to join projects? Nicjansma 01:08, 18 September 2006 (CDT)
  • Absolutely. From what I've read by Jason, he's pretty new to BT, and the video games at that. He's got a lot of enthusiasm and (relative to me) wiki-knowledge. I'd think he'd make a great addition to your admin team (if you're seeking to open it up). I'd suggest approaching him from the perspective of teaming up, bringing his skills over here, based on your considerable database already in place. Do you have any ideas, regarding this?

• Problem with the BV, for some reason I cant see the weapons anymore......dont know why but it just doesnt let me see them. We may need to modify the mechbox. --CJKeys 08:51, 28 September 2006 (CDT)
  • Fixed it, apparently when the BV changes were made the template had tha a in armament capatilized where you enter it and it made it that if the templat used didnt have the a capitalized it didnt work. fixed the problem. The weapons show up again.
    • Thanks, CJKeys. Argh...this whole thing with capital letters frustrates me. I think I need to see what you did and then check my other infoboxes. I'm glad you found the problem. Revanche 10:14, 28 September 2006 (CDT)

• Hi revanche, just wanted to say you thanks for fixing my page, now it looks much better, hope this is the apropiate page for doing it ;), by the way, im curious, ¿do you play neveron? i dont know of any lpayer with that nick playing the game... see you around!! --Rantamplan
  • Hey, Rantamplan: my pleasure. I really want Nic's new Sarna to be a place that becomes The source for BT info. And, yes, this is exactly where you leave notes to people. Not as easy as PMs, but that's the nature of wikis. As for Neveron: yeah, I started playing Neveron about5 years ago, but stopped about 3 years ago. I found it was too addicting and was eating up a lot of time. Good game. Revanche 07:56, 3 October 2006 (CDT)

• I've made you a SysOp, in recognition of all the hard work you're putting into the project. Thanks! Nicjansma 16:23, 4 October 2006 (CDT)
  • Thanks, Nic! Guess now I have to read up on what a SysOp is, so I know my responsibilities and authority. Thanks again! --Revanche 16:30, 4 October 2006 (CDT)

• You and Nick are doing a great job with the Sarna updates. It's a large project, and I am sure it will take some time to really get the ball rolling but the progress you have been making to this point is excellent. Kudos. Katrar 15:50, 14 October 2006 (CDT)
  • Wow, man, thanks. That means a lot. --Revanche 23:06, 15 October 2006 (CDT)

• Hey man, Took a few off after finishing up the Mediums from 3025. Started the heavies tonight so im almost on the homestreach for 3025. --CJKeys 22:11, 18 October 2006 (CDT)
  • You're doing an incredible job, mah-man. Filling up the 'Mechs category like that will show people the potential for the wiki. --Revanche 08:59, 19 October 2006 (CDT)

• Thanks for cleaning up the big mess of manufacturing details I posted a few days ago. I appreciate it. Nicjansma 01:57, 23 October 2006 (CDT)
  • Nic, I'm gonna have to plead 'ignorant' on that one. What was messed up and what did I do to fix it? --Revanche (admin) 11:57, 23 October 2006 (CDT)
    • Oh I was just saying thanks for adding more fluff and/or fixing some of the categories for all of the equipment, weapons, etc that I updated with manufacturing data last week. Nicjansma 14:55, 23 October 2006 (CDT)
      • Not a problem, Nic. You did all the grunt work setting up the basis for that information. Afetr that, everything else is just cream. Basically, I was just adding stuff that related to TRO:2750, and you had the framework already there. --Revanche (admin) 15:35, 23 October 2006 (CDT)

• You are doing a great job onthe portal. I left my comments on the BattleMech Project page. I'll finish 3055 before the end of the week and do some of the 3055 upgrade stuff too.--CJKeys 22:30, 11 November 2006 (CST)
  • Thanks, CJ. If you have any style ideas, please let me know. I'm just working on functionality at the moment, so I'm surely not earning any points for beauty. --Revanche (admin) 23:13, 11 November 2006 (CST)

• Hey Revanche, here I am as promised. Wow, this place is awesome the amount of CBT data is enormous. I'm very impressed. I'm always willing to help out if you need it, just point my nose in the right direction and tell me to fetch. Jimmy the Tulip
  • Hey, JtT...great to see you here! There is a lot here, thanks to Nic's archives, but there is far more to do than is done. Its a far better place...stop me now, before I start waxing literical. Well, anyway, let me point you off to Project BattleMechs. Go to Collaboration and review and click on one of the 'Mechs listed under New Articles Review. When you see a mistake in spelling or grammar, or think you can clean it up again, make the edit and make it better. When its done, go back to the Project page and remove the 'Mech from the list. I'll keep an eye on what you're doing at first, to help you out. If you need any help, just ask. (You might also find it helpful, once you've dug in around here, to create your own personal table of contents on your personal page. Take a look at CJKey's & mine for some examples.) Man, great to have you aboard! --Revanche (admin) 23:16, 12 November 2006 (CST)

My Fan fic

• Ok, it's up but I'm damned if I know how to get the chapters headings (the location, planet, state, date) to appear underneath each other instead of side by side. LOL! Perhaps you could give me some tuition there...? Thanks. :) --Jimmy the Tulip

Okay, I'll take a look at fixing that. Go into the edit field after I have to see how I did it (still gotta figure out what you intended, so I may be wrong).--Revanche (admin) 22:07, 13 November 2006 (CST)

EDIT: Never mind, I think I've sorted it.:) --Jimmy the Tulip

Yeah, it looks we were both working on it at the same time; my bad. I did put some <br> codes after each of your section titles, to help with the spacing problem. I hope you don't mind. Some times, people use : or :: to do the same thing, though it also indents the item it preceeds. Also, remember to 'sign' your posts, so that people can follow the conversation more clearly. Its not as clean as a forum is it? ;) --Revanche (admin) 22:20, 13 November 2006 (CST)

Is there a way to make an indent like a paragraph (i.e. only the first sentence is indented)?RogueBaron

Thanks for the welcome

• On my first edit too. :-)

Since I'm head admin at another wiki I don't expect to be around all that much, but I mainly focus on fixing what ever needs some polish. Funnily enough, I was actually working on cleaning that very page up when I got IMed about some stuff that needed to be dealt with. --Xoid 01:14, 15 November 2006 (CST)

Well, we're small enough here to spot new people and their efforts to help out. Thanks again. --Revanche (admin) 09:11, 15 November 2006 (CST)

• Revanche,

thank you very much for your comments. It is my pleasure to contribute things to this website. You can ask Nic how long I had been a huge fan of sarna (back to 2000, I think) One thing about your last comment: you suggest that I log in so my fanfic(s) can get credit. I don't understand it. Do you suggest that I log in when I am making the post? Please enlighten me on this.

RogueBaron, when you log onto BTW, you can have the site recognize you. That way, /almost/ everything you do gets attributed to you. For example, when you posted 2 of your 3 stories, they are attributed to IP addresses (216.69.63.254) rather than to you. There's no danger in not doing it, but as BTW picks up in popularity, the admins (and fellow editors) will start to recognize log-in names, but hone in on changes/additions made by anonymous users (i.e. IP addresess). It gives us a warm-fuzzy feeling when we see that RogueBaron added/edited/uploaded something, but alarms go off if it was an IP address. Also, you'll notice that my posts, and some of the others made on talk pages (like this one) have signatures from the poster, that includes the time of the post. You can easily add this yourself, to your posts, with one touch of a button - the button 2nd to the right above the edit field, between the 'no-W' symbol and the dark dash; it looks like a cursive Q. Clicking on that will immediately sign & datestamp your post, so that others know who wrote it. Keep submitting the stories...you're already responsible for bringing at least one more author in! --Revanche (admin) 13:59, 15 November 2006 (CST)

Alright, I get it. I'll do that. RogueBaron
