==Vaporware==
Hey PS,

Looking at your recent work involving the mattel toy line that never emerged and the GDL video game. I am uncomfortable with this stuff being categorised alongside actual products. Maybe it should be included in the [[Vaporware]] article instead.--[[User:Dmon|Dmon]] ([[User talk:Dmon|talk]]) 05:13, 30 January 2025 (EST)
: Ok, fair point. I'm going to add that information in the vaporware article--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 05:56, 30 January 2025 (EST)
::Done, can you please delete the pages [[Battletech Gray Death Legion]] and [[Kenner Battletech Prototype Toys]].--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 06:00, 30 January 2025 (EST)

==Editing==
Dear Pserratv,

A handful of editors have concerns about some of the ways you write and edit and we're wondering if you have Discord and might be able to join us there. It seems to be the easiest way for all of us to communicate with each other and offer feedback big and small, with better response time.

Here are some of our points:
* We ask that you use an English spellcheck or grammar check such as Grammarly or ChatGPT. Errors like this {{Diff|1135669}} don't need to happen. Here's an example of ChatGPT correcting spelling and grammar: [https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/nxz1ljp83xaaphxx1gm09/ChatGPT-spelling-and-grammar-checker.jpg?rlkey=zvdkisrq62t11zh6lnv3kmb3v&dl=0 ChatGPT]
* It's not ok to copy/paste content from other Sarna pages when creating new pages without tailoring them to the new page. At the minimum there are usually formatting errors (such as piping) and other times like this one {{Diff|1135503}} you copied info onto a character page that had nothing to do with the character (I think you assumed she was there with her unit, but in fact she wasn't).
* When you create or expand a page, it's not necessary to write everything you see in the source into the page. Keep it succinct and to the point. We touched on this regarding the [[Evan Kaiple]] article before but it's still happening on a smaller scale, such as {{Diff|1136086}} recently. Also please note we should be very literal with information; we can't state the Calderon Protectorate was in control of a system unless it specifically says that in the text or on a map.
* We have to be very careful about using the BT forums as a source, especially an only source, and we can't take pictures without any sort of permission and then labeling them as "fair use."
* There has also been some concern that many of your articles from the late 2010s border on plagiarism. Many of us have rewritten some of your older pages, but if you could spare the time to review and update your own pages, that would be helpful since you likely know the content better.

We have enjoyed working with you all these years and look forward to seeing you on Discord. [[User:Csdavis715|Csdavis715]] ([[User talk:Csdavis715|talk]]) 17:03, 6 February 2025 (EST)
:I do not have Discord, though I might try to install it.
:As per your comments, I'm going to take much more care on this. Even I feel I'm not always correctly summarizing facts and give too much info in a sort of copy & paste hence plagiarism. I have though a bad memery so I sincerely do not know most of the pages I did modify...
:Thanks for the tip and I'll ensure to do this better from here onwards.--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 22:45, 6 February 2025 (EST)

::Wonderful, thanks for your reply. Well, the great thing about Discord is that on your computer you can just open it in your browser. No need to install anything. And for finding your old pages, you can look in your contribution history. Just go to your oldest pages and look for any that have an "N" by the edit, which means you created the article, or you can look for any that show a large + number which indicates you added quite a bit of content to the page. See you around. [[User:Csdavis715|Csdavis715]] ([[User talk:Csdavis715|talk]]) 08:27, 7 February 2025 (EST)
