Welcome

Welcome, Wookiebear, 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 "Wookiebear" 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!

Two Michael Gilberts

A curious thing indeed. Please add to the Michael Gilbert article any information about yourself that you want to share. (Oh, and Hi & Welcome to BTW!) :) Frabby 23:40, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

will do and thanks again Wookiebear 15:36, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

All Purpose Award

Welcome to BTW, Wookiebear. I rarely (if ever) award ribbons this soon after a contributor's first arrival here, but I've been taken by your serious efforts to engage with others (in the spirit of team cooperation) and to add/enhance details of existing articles. I award you the All Purpose award, in light of those efforts.

Be aware, too, that you can (and should) self-award yourself the Time In Service (1 Month) on 24 February and the Edit Count Award once you have made 100 edits. Details of these can be found at BattleTechWiki:Awards. I've taken the liberty of adding the AP ribbon and awards board to your user page.
Again, welcome. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 15:47, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the award and for the welcome. I am feeling very at home here :) Wookiebear 18:13, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Vandal Cop award

Wookie, thanks for marking that act of spam/vandalism to Sarna yesterday. Its appreciated when members bring those to our attention.

Keep in mind, too, that in about 11 edits, you can self-award yourself the Edit Count ribbon. Again, thanks. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 12:02, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. Just saw it as I was hitting random pages and figured that was the best way to bring it to you alls attention Wookiebear 13:51, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Hyades Cluster

Good job on this. Have a . ClanWolverine101 03:44, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the award, just having fun Wookiebear 04:00, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Have something shiny, will give it to you

For your work on the Taurian Defense Forces (especially Special Asteroid Support Force), I'll give you this fancy jpg file: . Do note that Battletech canonically doesn't know the word nebulae and uses nebulea instead, which is bloody irritating to me as well. Dirk Bastion 18:54, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the award. I am just going through the bits I enjoy and filling in gaps. And thanks for the nebulea(sic) catch. Never would have thought of looking for it with that spelling :) Wookiebear 19:09, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Despite the innuendo, you are filling in pretty nicely. ;) And you're not alone - I've already found a dead redirect when looking for the correct spelling of Flannagan's thingy. Dirk Bastion 19:11, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

yup, been having a time fixing links myself this fine day. Have been working on finding bits to fill in for the Concordat, but random pages are fun too. Am currently trying to find enough information to build pages for the Taurian Velites and the Taurian Guard Regiments, and getting some but not sure if I have enough yet. But then again I thought the same when I started the SASF article :P Wookiebear 20:55, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

My best bet would be the classics: Periphery (1st edition), the Star League sourcebook and Field Manual: Periphery. You pretty much can't find this stuff in one go, it's just too spread around a dozen books or so. I have the same problem - my period of interest is the Human Sphere up to the Star League era. On any given issue, I have to look at roughly 15 books with a sentence or two each, and if I'm lucky, they don't even disagree with each other. In other words: if you can't help but stub, do stub and build it up as you go along. Dirk Bastion 21:21, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice, sounds like the way to go. Am finding some good (and not so good) information regarding both the Guard and Velites Regiments. Am going to do some rough out, then clean up and post, hopefully this weekend Wookiebear 04:49, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
