Thastas[edit]
Just wondering on your source for your change from "Thustas" due to the source I used Historical: Operation KLONDIKE (p. 36, "Origins of the Bloodnames: The Clans' Founders"). Which to my knowledge is the source for all bloodnames used by the clans as the erratum to any prior books. Is there a errata to that source? --Deadfire (talk) 07:06, 20 June 2016 (PDT)
- This was a spelling change of "Thustas" to "Thastus." There is no mention of anyone with the last name "Thustas," please reference pg. 36 Historical: Operation Klondike. deusduce2 18:29, 26 June 2016 (PDT)
Hellcat (Hellhound II)[edit]
Because Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 30 is under moratorium until 20 March 2023, I deleted the article you created for the Hellcat (Hellhound II) as well as the image that was uploaded. Once the moratorium has passed, new content should be added rather than a copy of the Conjurer (Hellhound) article.--Cache (talk) 17:31, 31 January 2023 (EST)
Name changes[edit]
I have just had a look at Thus It Shall Stand and as far as I can tell the word Nova does not appear in the story at all. Could you please enlighten me as to why you are changing the names on Clan 'Mechs?--Dmon (talk) 04:15, 16 February 2023 (EST)
- The name of the Clan mech is the Nova, and was only given the designation of "Black Hawk" because its real name was initially unknown. The Wiki, as an out-of-universe source has changed the "default" designation to the original Clan name. This clears up inconsistencies and assists new players in using the correct names for the initial waves of Clan 'Mechs. Deusduce2 (talk) 04:22, 16 February 2023 (EST)
- No one is debating that. I'm adding additional clarification in the case of the first waves of Clan 'Mechs where two names are given. Users who are new to the in-game universe will not "automatically" know what mech a Black Hawk is. The page for the mech is also listed as Nova (Black Hawk). Deusduce2 (talk) 04:39, 16 February 2023 (EST)
- We use the name refered to in the story for pretty much the same reason as you are arguing against it. If a new player is reading the story they are going to be reading about a Black Hawk, and at no point does the fact that it is called a Nova with Black Hawk as an inner sphere designation ever come up. So to mention it without context will simply confuse the reader. As such I am going to re-revert your edit, please do not continue with this seties of edits.--Dmon (talk) 06:37, 16 February 2023 (EST)
