== 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.

==Dragoons Images==

== Profession box position shortening ==
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 ==
+
Hey CW,
[[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 ==
+
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.
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 ==
+
[[Archon-Prince]] of the [[Federated Commonwealth]] or [[saKhan]] of [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] are perfect examples of titles that can be shortened without sacrificing information.
[[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)

== Zoomer - new article ==
  
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)

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)
: 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)

::Okidoky, i added a Infantry Units Infobox example, any thoughts.--[[User:Doneve|Doneve]] 20:42, 19 January 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)
 
 
== Richard Steiner II ==
 
 
 
[[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)

==sub-stub==
 
Hey, tnx for your message. I have two questions to you:
 
:1st: How many content is necessary for an article that he doesn't fall under the sub-stub category?
 
:2nd: Can we create a common style for the biography like the units?
 
 
 
with best regards [[User:Neuling|Neuling]] 18:56, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 
::No problem. To answer your questions:

==Cassie Suthurn==
 
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)

== 2010 Founders Awards ==
 
Hey Wolverine! For being with us for just a year, you've had a huge impact on the quality of articles on BTW.  The research and level of detail you put into articles is reflected immediately on the site.  Thanks for all of your hard work!  You've been awarded the Founder's Superior Editor of the Year award: [[User:Nicjansma|Nicjansma]] 06:21, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Hey wolverine. What is your opinion about my latest article about the euipments? I know it must be filled with additional information from the indivdual sources. I will do this the next couple of days. For help or any helpful thougths I'm grateful. [[User:Neuling|Neuling]] 22:04, 7 February 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)

== One Year ==
 
 
 
Wow. So I have been an Editor and Writer on Sarna.net for one year. In that year, I feel I've gotten to know a lot of you a little bit, and perhaps you've gotten to know me. I'd like to thank Rev and many others for really guiding me early on, helping me conform what I was doing to the greater whole without discouraging me at all. I'd like to thank Doneve, not only for his incredible amount of content, but for helpfully providing images to character bio articles, which helps make good articles into great ones. I'd like to thank Nic for starting this up in the first place, and for honoring me with a Founder's award. I'm grateful to all of you. (Yes, even you, Scaletail. :) ) Most of all, and this is selfish of me, I'm grateful to have an output where I can pursue my passion for writing.
 
 
 
When I look at some of my early contributions, I confess I do cringe a little. I was looking for my voice with respect to Sarna.net, and hadn't found it yet. I think I made progress with my [[Waco Rangers]] article, and I think I hit my groove with my later character articles. Along the way, I like to think I've helped improve other articles around the wiki, many with relatively small copyedits and "cleanup" tags reminding me to come back; others with far more substantial contributions. I've racked up a decent Edit Count (though I'll never touch Doneve. ;) ), but I like to think I've done so in good faith.
 
 
 
Because honestly? In my opinion, no article on this site is ever truly complete. There are always potential changes to be made, as the vision of the wiki changes. Even the product articles may need editing from time to time to note a reprinting, new versions (like the TROs), and new contexts. There are almost always copyedits, and compromises to style. So even though part of me considers the articles I've written from scratch to be my "children", another part of me knows I need to let them go, and (hopefully) let them grow with the help of other editors.  
 
 
 
As we move forward, I hope to put a dent in the "to do" list of new articles I keep by my desk. I hope the wiki will grow in respect to the Classic Battletech community, which was always healthier than WizKids understood. I hope we are joined by more editors with a passion for this fictional universe and a willingness to work with others. I hope good thoughts for all of you.
 
 
 
Thanks all.

== Isle of Sky ==
 
 
 
Okay - I just finished the [[Isle of Skye]]. It was by far the longest, most difficult original article I have written yet. It may also be the most controversial, as I would humbly submit that all linked references to the [[Federation of Skye]], [[Free Skye]] and the various rebellions (at least three) should redirect to this one article. No doubt we'll have some discussion on that. Nevertheless, I was as thorough as possible. Please give it a look and give me your opinion when you have a chance. Thanks.

==Academies==
 
Hey Wolverine, I will talk about this topic. I wrote most of the academy articelson sarna and they are accepted by most of the users. THink about it. Every Fieldmanual hold entire pages about the individual acadmies. Every academy is unique, some are the onyl hope for the cadets, because others are former SDLF institution like Nagelring and Northwind. Some supports large cadets corps and other gradute only a few dozens soldiers per year. My overview provide the common users with a feeling how long whould it take to accomplish the academic carrer successfull.
 
Not every study field is provide on all academies and some have a high specialization. In the near future I will expande this chapter on sarna with more material. [[User:Neuling|Neuling]] 17:04, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 
: That's a good point about the Field Manuals. I think, perhaps, if the formatting of the tables was a bit more polished, I'd be sold on the concept. Also, I don't know how comprehensive we want to be on the MW "Career Paths". Regardless, I respect the ambition of the article. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 18:39, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 
::The academies are a cornerstone to most of the military organisation and I think that all aspects of the battletech univers are interesting to cover. I will work out on the influence of the academies, what is different and what are shared features. And remember many leaders of the great houses are former graduates. For example victor steiner davion was on Nagelring, Peter Steiner Davion in contrast on Robinson Battle Academy. I have another question to yow. I will make an article about the different castle brian types, but have not idea how to incorporate the available information in a good article. I have access to the maps and the information to. Please give me a inspiration... [[User:Neuling|Neuling]] 19:46, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

I don't believe they classify as being fandom (i've edited picture i've recently uploaded without adding anything new-original), but please make sure note the changes so a fan/reader will know this not quite the original image.

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)

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.
