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.

Hey CW,

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)

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.

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

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.

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.

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)

: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]]

Question : In many of the source materials this is referred to as the Treaty of Tukayyid. How do i set it up so that "Treaty of Tukayyid" redirects here? ClanWolverine101

    Click go the page you want to create, in this case I'll just add Treaty of Tukayyid here as there are no existing redlinks on BTW for that, when you edit that page hit the #R button along the top so it dumps in #REDIRECT[[Target page name]] and enter in the page you want the redirect to lead to, in this case #REDIRECT[[Truce of Tukayyid]] Cyc 22:33, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

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

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.
