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)
  
Hey all - So much of 2016 was a challenging year for me personally and professionally, and i'm happy to say that Sarna provided a good outlet for me during a time where i really needed it. I'm happy to say that by the end of the year i was in a much better place, though my time for Sarna had been cut. The realization that i've been part of this little community for seven years is humbling, and i'm hoping to make some more time for the project in the near future. I want to thank all those who've helped me along the way, particularly Doneve for his contributions. I'll close with a list of articles i wrote or rewrote this past year.

[[Battle of Wapakoneta (Fourth Succession War)]] is up. Feel free to edit. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] ([[User talk:ClanWolverine101|talk]]) 23:21, 27 April 2017 (EDT)

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.
  
Go to each use of the word "guerilla" and correct it to say "guerrilla". Especially in articles where the mistake is my own. :P [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] ([[User talk:ClanWolverine101|talk]]) 20:08, 1 May 2017 (EDT)

The [[81st FedCom Independent Aero Regiment]] has been posted. As some of you may know, when i write a new article and create a "red link" to an unwritten article, i make a note of it for future reference, as i like to clean those up eventually. Some years ago i wrote an article for the [[5th Deneb Light Cavalry]]. That included a "red link" to this Aero unit. Its good to finally cross one off the list.

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)

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

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 [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, Csdavis715 (talk) 04:11, 4 April 2024 (EDT)
