| + | Hey CW, |
| | | | |
| − | == Cosara Weaponries ==
| + | I have just reverted your edit to the [[Elizabeth Nichole]] article and thought I should explain my thinking. A characters overview it should be pointed out that they are a Colonel in a mercenary command (and name said command) but I feel the infobox has no discernible need for the ''mercenary'' appellation since her affiliation is stated as [[Wolf's Dragoons]] directly above in the affiliation box via a wikilink. At the level of a Colonel it is a minor quibble but a lot of the better known characters and state leaders infobox's become quite unwieldy so I am trying to set a precedent of being short and concise. |
| | | | |
| − | Evening, ClanWolverine101. I saw your removal of the statement regarding [[Cosara Weaponries]] from the [[Northwind Highlanders]] article. Because I don't want to discourage a new Editor, especially one working so hard as you, I'm not gonna dispute that, but it is generally our policy to post a '''<nowiki>{{citation needed}}</nowiki>''' tag after something that doesn't seem right to you. That way, multiple Editors have the opportunity to research the fact, rather than just losing the information. If someone hasn't updated the statement with a verifiable citation, then you are free to delete it. That tag, and others, can be found in the left-side column in the [[Help:Template gallery|Template gallery]]. Thanks. --[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 02:08, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
| + | [[Archon-Prince]] of the [[Federated Commonwealth]] or [[saKhan]] of [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] are perfect examples of titles that can be shortened without sacrificing information. |
| | | | |
| − | :Understood, and thank you. I started having second thoughts about my original note, thinking maybe it was in regards to the Cosara factories on Terra, not Northwind that I was thinking of. Regardless, I would not have zapped it arbitrarily if it had been someone else's posting.[[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] | + | As a side note it is on my to do list to eventually make faction specific Khan / saKhan articled as part of my [[:Category:Titles and Positions]] project but it is a way off at the moment.--[[User:Dmon|Dmon]] ([[User talk:Dmon|talk]]) 05:57, 2 August 2019 (EDT) |

| − | == Notable Pilots Project == | + | == Zoomer - new article == |
| − | So something I'm planning on focusing on is hitting all the 'VIP' type bios and listing what mechs they were known to use, in the standard section. Conversely, I would go to the mech pages and add the 'VIP' types as 'Notable Pilots'. Does this sound good? [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]]
| |
| | | | |
| − | :Yep. But it would have to be a ''really'' notable person, because we don't want to spam the 'Mech entries with pilot names. Most "notable pilots" from the TROs are in fact nobodies who may get their own IC character entry on BTW, but do not deserve a mention as a notable pilot. Further, I feel (but this is just my personal opinion) that the 'Mech and its notable pilot should be identified with each other to some notable degree. Natasha Kerensky and her Warhammer are an immediate match; by contrast, Sun Tzu Liao piloted numerous designs at various points but is not really associated with any particular 'Mech. [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] 21:12, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
| + | The [[Zoomer]] is up. This one is tricky, since it doesn't have statistics or even a proper name. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] ([[User talk:ClanWolverine101|talk]]) 19:42, 26 August 2019 (EDT) |
| | | | |
| − | ::Oh, I agree. When I say 'notable pilots' I do mean significant characters from the novels and such, who actually had a connection to the machine. Sun-Tzu was never much of a mechwarrior, so I wouldn't bother with him at all. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]]
| + | ==Military affiliations== |
| − | | + | Hi ClanWolverine, I don't think we've met yet but I've seen lots of your work over the years and respect your contributions to the wiki. I just want to ask about some mass tweaks you've been recently making to character articles such as [[https://www.sarna.net/wiki/index.php?title=Ethan_Kuhn&diff=prev&oldid=1065336 this one]]. While in most cases you're not wrong (there have been a few that you accidentally attributed to the wrong state/military), I feel like it's bloating the article leads with somewhat redundant information. Nearly every military character in the FedSuns or Lyran Commonwealth who lived around the mid-31st century will have been associated with 2 or 3 militaries if not more. The characters are already linked to their factions in the infobox and categories, and if a user clicks on the commands they were assigned to, they'll see further associations there. Do you have any particular rationale for putting it in there? Thanks, [[User:Csdavis715|Csdavis715]] ([[User talk:Csdavis715|talk]]) 04:11, 4 April 2024 (EDT) |
| − | == Mechforce Quarterly == | |
| − | I gather from your question at [[:Talk:Hansen's_Roughriders]] that you were a member of the MFNA for a time at least, and also have the magazines? May I kindly request that you look over my [[MechForce]] article and check if you can add something, and perhaps also create the articles on [[MechForce North America]], [['Mech (magazine)]] and [[MechForce Quarterly]] which are redlinked so far. [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] 20:38, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | :How I wish I could. :( Sadly, they are in a box in a pile of boxes in a closet in a basement in parent's house 1,000 miles away. I probably would have needed help referencing the article. Its just that when I read the entry that the Roughriders never fought in the clan invasion, I suddenly remembered that scenario. I miss the old magazine, though. I even got paid $20 for a submitted scenario. Don't think they ran it though. Maybe I could hunt those mags down eventually. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]]

| |
| − | :P.S. I re-ordered a couple sections of the page (moved Amaris Civil War to follow Equipment). Since you have troop composition first, I thought it made more sense to have the equipment be the next thing, rather than launching into the Amaris Civil War stuff. Plus the last line of the Equipment section flowed naturally into the ACW section.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 13:45, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

| − | ==Date request==
| |
| − | Hey, CW: this is only a request, not a mandate by any means. Can you start signing your posts the traditional way (i.e., with four tildes or using the 'sign with timestamp' button), so that readers can follow when you made them? Its not normally a big thing, but because you are much more involved in the behind-the-scenes of the wiki than most new Editors, and because you are influencing discussions, I've often been checking page history to see if a cocnern of your's is recent or older (and possibly thereby needing a response by me). Again, if its a thing of your's to not do that, roger that and I'll adapt.--[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 16:21, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Incidentially, I was preparing a Waco Rangers article myself (because they're among my favourite units), but I'm glad you beat me to it. I may add a few bits and pieces to the article in the future.

I'm really glad to see an Editor doing this kind of detailed research and proud for BTW when these kind of articles get referenced elsewhere (such as CBT's forums and even eBay!). These aren't easy to do, even when just using one title. But to seek out multiple titles to get the broadest picture takes work.

They were never featured, but whenever the writers needed an idiot villain to show up, act like an ass, get their butts kicked and then survive, there they were. They were a throw-in - the story was never about them. Their existence can easily be boiled down to some footnotes and references.

| − | | |
| − | :I made some changes.
| |
| − | :*First off is every level 3 section heading must fall under a level 2. That was easy enough, as the relevant sections all fell under the History section, anyway.
| |
| − | :*Part of me notices that there is a Dragoon Mystery section, but all of the sections are related to that. If it could support it, I'd like Precentor ROM, Thar Marik Civil War and Aftermath all be level 4 sections under the Dragoon Mystery, since they are related. However, I'll leave that up to you. Legacy seems just right as a level 3.
| |
| − | :*Good use of citations. I think the article is well-sourced. I have removed the links to the articles in the references, as an upcoming policy seeks to make references as easy and consistent as possible. Since all cited material should be in the bibliography section (I added them where they weren't), internal links in the refs are unnecessary. When ever possible, also include the relevant page numbers and section heading (if available); it helps cuts down on the time Editors need to verify, since you already found it. Also note: the right abbreviation of page is 'p.' and plural would be 'pp.'. Look out how [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] used "ref name" to make citations easier on the read; which is also easier on the citing Editor, if used.
| |
| − | :*Also, the biblio should be alphabetized. When the linked article must use a descriptor in the title, pipe the link so it only shows the title's actual name (ex: <nowiki>[[</nowiki>ComStar (sourcebook)|ComStar<nowiki>]]</nowiki>).
| |
| − | :This was well-researched and well-written. The copyedits I listed above were just that: they made the article only marginally better. The materiel was clear and valuable and -since it spanned numerous titles- also encompassing. If there were a picture available, the article would be complete.
| |
| − | :Right now, most Editors are seeking to get something, anything on a subject on to BTW, so searches are rewarded with actual content. Your level of effort is the next phase, where one Editor does a tremendous amount of work to best complete just one article. You should be proud.

| − | Saw you had updated the VSPL page with note you'd add something later. No need. I just fixed the redirect to point to the Laser page. I'm going to go through and check the other laser pages now to make sure nothing was missed.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 18:57, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

| − | == Task Force Vengeance ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | CW, take another look at [[Task Force Vengeance]]. I agree it should be a disambiguation page, since there will be two articles dealing with different formations having the name Task Force Vengeance. However, the intent of disambig pages is to point readers directly to the information on the subject of the disambig (Task Force Vengeance), rather than educate them about every aspect of the event surrounding the formation's use. as such, you find the most appropriate article and you can rename it, so that directly informs the reader where they should go to read more.
| |
| − | For example, if I was looking for the TF formed by the surviving AMC, I can quickly identify the first link as being the article i want to read on the subject.
| |
| − | Does that make sense? --[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 11:53, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

| − | : I think so? If you feel I had too much detail there, I have no problem with you changing it. I only added that detail to avoid the inevitable "Which Task Force Vengeance do you mean?" "The one during the Jihad." "Which TF Vengeance during the Jihad do you mean?" and so on. I can maybe fix it myself. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 13:46, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

| − | == The Battle of Mars ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Certainly, we MIGHT have called it "[[Attack on Mars]]" (which makes it sound like a bad '50s movie) or "[[Task Force Vengeance]]" (of which there are two). I went in this direction. I feel its one of my better efforts, but I leave it to you all to judge. Give it a read [[Battle of Mars|here]]. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 04:55, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

| − | :Lots of minor things. Check [[Policy:Manual of Style]] for a lot of it. The one thing that I removed was the reference to the date of Pearl Harbor; the source did not mention it (though you were supposed to pick up on it, as a reader), so there doesn't seem to be anything supporting the importance of the date. I won't try to enumerate the other changes; just check the history to see the differences. --[[User:Scaletail|Scaletail]] 00:02, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

| − | ::Didn't hear any objection to adding the Small Craft/ASF line to DropShip and WarShip infoboxes, so I just did that. It's an optional field, so if there are no values, the line will be ignored. You'll probably have to go back and add it to the infobox for most of the Ships, but I assume you knew that already.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 14:51, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

| − | | |
| − | So. I added little notes under "family" for both of these characters. Hohiro, in that he was supposedly descended from Camerons, and Victor, in the whole Dragoon-trueborn thing. (Actually, Victor's thing also applies to Victor and others, but I decided not to go nuts.) If you'd like to debate those placements, please go to the respective Talk pages. Thanks!

I know there are more "red links" then we'd like, but I'm thinking I'll soon tackle Michi, Samsanov, and maybe Jenette. Anyway, feel free to weigh in.
