Ok, I was looking at the Wiki at Sarna. Specifically the documentation on the line of Chancellors is horrendous. Sorry if you are the creator of those articles, the grammar and spelling is enough to make it almost illegible.

Could I get a hand with reworking those pages to give some pride to the CC?

Thanks.

I would suggest that you attempt to speak with the administrators of that website directly as it is a fan run website and thus not subject (to my knowledge) to any staff of PGI or IGP influence.

You may do so by clicking this link: http://www.sarna.net..._Administrators

The cool thing about wikis is that anyone can edit them. I tried looking up the Capellan Confederation article, and the paragraph about the politics in the CC didn't seem badly worded. Can you provide a link to the page you're talking about?

I've gone through much of the Chancellor's list and cleaned them up.

Struth, I see what you mean!

Unfortunately, I do not have access to any information regarding the Chancellors so the best that I can do for now is try and clean up the appaling grammer and spelling errors (seeing as I am a freelance travel writer and journalist, it irks me to see articles written so sloppily).

You really don't have to have the information, I really don't. All it needs is to rewrite the information that's already there to make it more legible.

I'm fully behind any attempts at proofreading and updating the stuff I'm seeing on Sarna while copying down some fluff for ISN articles. A great deal of it looks like it was autotranslated from a foreign language or just plain awkwardly written by an enthusiastic fan. A good point of reference is good for everybody, newbie or veteran alike!

If I can get the appropriate permissions, it would look great.

You need some sort of background as to who the article is about and what happened during their time of rein, and since I do not own any of the technical books about most of the rulers throughout the BattleTech universe, I wait until with enough enough of their background to upload it onto the page then go over it and use my (fantastic) journalism skills to touch up the articles submitted so they flow in a way that makes it easier for everyone to understand.
