Greetings

Good day to all. I'm new here, so please be patient with me. I have some experience with Wikipedia, so I understand the basics, but lots of things are still new to me. I look forward to working a lot with you people in the future. You can find my contributions Here or ask questions on my Talk Page.

My Motto(s)

"You have to respect everyone, but you don't have to agree with anyone."

"If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the Lord will reward you." -- Proverbs 25:21-22, NIV

My Projects

In Progress

• Adding MekTek article, updating Mech articles with correct info/formatting, and adding pictures to 'Mech pages in need

Ongoing

• Closely watching the recent changes page
• Going through the Double Redirect page, Broken Redirects page, Deadend pages, Uncategorized pages, Lonely pages, and disambiguation links
• Making sure new articles have their respective WikiProject tags on talk pages
• Adding {welcome} tags to good anonymous users
• Randomly proofreading articles
• Eliminating redundant links (except on year pages)
• Changing first links from shorthand (SLDF) to the correct longhand (Star League Defense Force)
• Randomly adding/editing pictures
• Adding existing references from other pages to those with few
• Changing ampersands; they look bad when "and" is used nearly everywhere else...

Done

• Standardized battle armor/infantry weapon names
• Updated most all unit and weapon pages with their respective tags
• Overhauled the Operation Bulldog page by moving most of the planets' info onto their respective planetary pages
• Added Holovid, Hrothgar, Talon (DropShip), Nightshade (Conventional Fighter), and Legion pages
• Added/fixed some pictures to spruce up lonely weapon pages
• Finished going through the planets and removing redundant faction links and doing cleanup, along with the instrumental help of Doneve, BrokenMnemonic, and others
• Overhauled Canon WarShip Overview

On the Backburner

• Overhaul the Operation Guerrero Unit Deployment Tables page and moving the planets' info onto their respective planetary pages
• Adding numerous apocryphal images from MechWarrior BattleTech Reference (MW4 manual)
• Add info and pictures from BattleTech: 25 Years of Art & Fiction
• Go through all the year pages to standardize link rules and grammar
• Add Flare Launcher, Advanced Gyro, Warlord (MekTek), Rail Gun, as well as MekTek, and possibly MW4 variants to Mech pages
• Go through all units and add their variants' intro dates to year pages
• Go through the new articles to be checked and articles to be peer reviewed and thoroughly clean them up - BattleMechs (none in peer review), Biographies (none in peer review), Ground Units (none in peer review), Military Commands (peer), Spacecraft (none in peer review), Technology (peer), and possibly planets (none in peer review).
