Just FYI: I put an Update Needed on the Category: Star League Defense Force commands talk page so we wouldn't have all 900+ SLDF commands appearing in the Updates Needed listing.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]]<sup>([[User_talk:Mbear|talk]])</sup> 11:54, 4 January 2016 (PST)

Hey CW,
  
== Hi ==
+
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.
  
[[Sarah Steiner]] is one of those minor characters who keeps being referenced in passing. I decided she needed an article. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] ([[User talk:ClanWolverine101|talk]]) 10:35, 28 January 2016 (PST)

== Battle of Morges (3054) ==
+
== Irwin Tyrell ==
  
[[Battle of Morges (3054)]] is up. Why an article about such a minor battle? Well, it appears in the notes. There's a ton of confusion about when it happened and even who fought in it, so i hoped this would makes things more clear.

[[Irwin Tyrell]] is up. First new article in... a rather long time. Its nice to be back. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] ([[User talk:ClanWolverine101|talk]]) 17:58, 8 August 2019 (EDT)
  
:I've just read through the article and made a few tweaks - it's an interesting piece, particularly given the confusion in canon over what happened, when, and to whom - and I particularly like the clear and concise list of conflicting detail and sources in the notes section, which is one of the things I think Sarna can be really good at capturing. Most of the tweaks I made were minor grammatical niggles or where you typed one word while thinking of another, but I added in some references for the future battles and clarified the section on the Refusal War battle, which reminded me that some of the other articles relating to it could do with some work. But then, when isn't there something on Sarna that could do with clarification/expansion?

== Neil Parella ==
:Anyway, I think the article is a useful addition to Sarna, so I'd like to give you this substantial addition award:
 
:[[File:SubAdd.jpg|Substantial Addition Award, 1st ribbon]]
 
:I'd also like to ask that you copy/link to the article in various other articles on Sarna to help disseminate the information - the Morges planet article, the Fourth Skye Rangers article, etc. Particularly the Morges article - sooner or later, I'm going to reach Morges as a part of the Project: Planets overhaul, and lots of little details from the battle article like the name of the mountain Jaime Wolf was observing the battle from, the name of the capital city and the like are exactly the sort of details that help flesh out a proper planet article and help writers using Sarna for reference to stay consistent.

::With respect to to the copying, i've actually linked it in most of the articles that referred to it at all, though i haven't done this with Morges itself, yet. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] ([[User talk:ClanWolverine101|talk]]) 21:23, 3 February 2016 (PST)

== Beneficence ==
 
Hi CW,<br>
 
 
 
I just rolled back your edit on the ''Beneficence'' article because in the context, it's more accurate to say that Victor's forces had to retreat under fire than simply to retreat - they were in constant contact with the Loyalist forces on the ground according to the FedCom Civil War sourcebook, with the Fifth Crucis Lancers in battle or being harried at every step because of their slow attached conventional forces, and the evacuation zone for the Allied forces had to move 500 km while they were all retreating because of the number and position of enemy units engaging them. That's very different to them simply retreating, IMO - there are a fair number of planetary occupations where a bigger task force shows up and the occupiers retreat, but this was Victor's forces trying to avoid being wiped out on the ground with the spectre of orbital bombardment hanging over them as they were fighting. There's a difference between evacuating a compound or fortification before you get attacked, and having to try and retreat and board exit vessels while actively being attacked, harried and pursued. I hope that makes sense? [[User:BrokenMnemonic|BrokenMnemonic]] ([[User talk:BrokenMnemonic|talk]]) 23:45, 5 April 2016 (PDT)

== Epsilon Regiment (Wolf's Dragoons) ==
 
 
 
[[Epsilon Regiment (Wolf's Dragoons)]] has been re-written. I want people to know i accepted the critique from BobTheZombie that my Beta Regiment article (posted back in 2013), to heart. As such, this article is about 40 percent shorter, where i trimmed and summarized a lot of redundant material. I feel the end product is superior, and hope others will find it so. At some point, i will go back and perform the needed revisions to Beta Regiment and the other Dragoon articles. But please give Epsilon a look and let me know. Thank you.

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)
