Welcome to Battlestar Wiki![edit]
Welcome to the Wiki, BSG_Philosopher. Tell us about yourself on your user page. We have a template that lets you put some information about yourself in a nice-looking box.
Battlestar Wiki is an encyclopedia on officially-licensed stories, aired episodes, and other products of the Battlestar universes. Make sure that your contributions fit Battlestar Wiki's purpose, avoiding what we aren't.
Our editing standards and conventions policies may differ from other wikis, especially in verb tense and voice, capitalization and the like. Please read this policy. We have an editing tutorial and wiki markup codes to help you.
Our policies on original research differ from places such as Wikipedia. We allow some research based on aired episode content, but don't allow speculation that isn't supported from episode events.
Battlestar Wiki's many projects help improve our content. Are you an Original Series fan? Help out in the Original Series Article Project. Non-English versions of Battlestar Wiki also need contributors, and helpers for our podcast transcriptions are also welcome. New projects should be brought to our Think Tank, where we hash out large-scale ideas before implementing them.
Any questions about an article can be entered on the article's talk page. General questions about the wiki can be brought to the Quorum or the administrators' noticeboard. To sign your posts on any talk page, just enter four tildes (~~~~)!
We look forward to your contributions to the community! --Spencerian 22:01, 21 June 2007 (CDT)
About your first contribution[edit]
Welcome! Since Battlestar Wiki isn't a general encyclopedia, sometimes its better to take some phrases and colloquialisms from the show and condense them in a single article for brevity. For that reason I added "spooch" to the article, List of terms (RDM). That was a good catch, by the way! Some online episode transcripts show "pooched", where "spooched" is what is said and shown in the DVD episode and its captioning.
Given your user name, you might be fond of the article, Philosophy in Battlestar Galactica, or see the sourced speculation in articles like Religion in the Twelve Colonies (RDM) or The Destiny. Don't let my anal retentive need to keep wiki entries concise stop you from making more articles! --Spencerian 22:21, 21 June 2007 (CDT)
