== 2017 Year in Review ==
[[Isoroku Kurita]] is up. I just love Robert Charette's minor characters. :P [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 04:15, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Hey - sorry i've been away. I've got caught up in some other games that have captured my creative interests. I'm hoping something re-ignites my interest in CBT in the coming year. Regardless, i'm proud of what people have accomplished with Sarna. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] ([[User talk:ClanWolverine101|talk]]) 02:42, 4 January 2018 (EST)
 
 
==Dragoons Images==
 
Hy, have you any idea where we can found, images from [[Dechan Fraser]] and [[Jenette Rand]], i search in all my sources and my litte databas...but grml.--[[User:Doneve|Doneve]] 00:19, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 
:No, I don't think so. In the novel [[Wolf Pack]], there is a picture of Fraser talking to [[Takashi Kurita]], but its from behind. :( [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 00:51, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 
*:Hmm, ok i look what i do can to bring it on top.--[[User:Doneve|Doneve]] 00:56, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Vasily Cherenkoff ==
 
[[Vasily Cherenkoff]] is up. Yes, another Kuritan Warlord jerk. Everyone who worked for Takashi Kurita was an ass-hole. It was essentially a job requirement. :P [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 05:27, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
== The Planet Thomas ==
 
The planet [[Thomas]] has been posted. Apparently, its a small, Liao world that keeps getting left off the maps. Feel free to discuss this on the [[Talk:Thomas]] page. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 20:48, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Barber's Marauder IIs ==
 
[[Barber's Marauder IIs]] is up. I'm actually quite proud of this one, as I used all the current templates. I managed to find mention of them in a fairly long list of works. Also : The idea a full battalion of 100 ton Marauder IIs jumping up and down chasing somebody always amused me. Like Jurassic Park. :P [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 03:58, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Selvin Kelswa III ==
 
[[Selvin Kelswa III]] is up, for anyone who is interested. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 05:30, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Tamar Jagers ==
 
[[Tamar Jagers]] is up. These guys have a weird history, in that they were there and then they weren't. Feel free to hit their "Discussion" page. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 18:25, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello my friend,

Notable Unit: DEST Heavy Response Platoon
 
Tech Base (Rating): Inner Sphere (E/X-E-E)
 
Transport Weight: 4 tons
 
Equipment:

tnx
 
 
 
I forget... I will support your work with the updating of all military units. I will concentrate on the tactic and other small types.[[User:Neuling|Neuling]] 21:32, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 
: Neuling - I appreciate it. I like the idea of an Infantry infobox, but its probably outside of my expertise. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 21:40, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

== Profession box position shortening ==
  
[[Richard Steiner II]] is up. Yeah, another jerk. It seems to be a thing with me. :) Anyway, I was proud of the research I did on this one, though I used quite a few "red links" (some of which are now on my to-do list). Still, I think the overall quality was good. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 05:08, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Hey CW,
  
== Tamar Pact ==
+
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.
  
[[Tamar Pact]] is up. What do people think? [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 18:17, 22 January 2011 (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.
:Hy ClanWolverine, very very nice article.--[[User:Doneve|Doneve]] 18:20, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

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)
Hey, tnx for your message. I have two questions to you:
+
:Dmon - I'm not sure i agree with that application, but if that is how we are doing it now, i understand. 09:08, 2 August 2019 (EDT)
:1st: How many content is necessary for an article that he doesn't fall under the sub-stub category?
+
::If you disagree feel free to propose a different method, and if I think it is better I will adopt that instead. My primary objective is to try and bring all character infobox's to a common standard and methodology.--[[User:Dmon|Dmon]] ([[User talk:Dmon|talk]]) 09:52, 2 August 2019 (EDT)

Hi Wolverine. I'm slowly doing Cassie Suthorn article, i do have the novel. I'm nearly burned myself out writing first two. I plan to do it within next or so. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 11:57, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

: Neuling - Its an impressive amount of material. I would suggest a new Project:Discussion page to go over thingslike formatting. (Much like you see with mechs, character bios, and planets.) Does that makes sense? [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 22:30, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

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)

2017 Year in Review

Hey - sorry i've been away. I've got caught up in some other games that have captured my creative interests. I'm hoping something re-ignites my interest in CBT in the coming year. Regardless, i'm proud of what people have accomplished with Sarna. ClanWolverine101 (talk) 02:42, 4 January 2018 (EST)

Profession box position shortening

Hey CW,

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.

Archon-Prince of the Federated Commonwealth or saKhan of Clan Smoke Jaguar are perfect examples of titles that can be shortened without sacrificing information.

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.--Dmon (talk) 05:57, 2 August 2019 (EDT)

Dmon - I'm not sure i agree with that application, but if that is how we are doing it now, i understand. 09:08, 2 August 2019 (EDT)
If you disagree feel free to propose a different method, and if I think it is better I will adopt that instead. My primary objective is to try and bring all character infobox's to a common standard and methodology.--Dmon (talk) 09:52, 2 August 2019 (EDT)

Military affiliations
