Move is done. Please let the user know that the name has been changed by email just in case they don't immediately return. --Spencerian
- Yeah, I saw it. I emailed him already, saying that it will be taken care of. --Serenity 17:19, 21 June 2007 (CDT)
Singular nouns
Just so you know, something like Pegasus' is actually allowed in modern English, although it's still pronounced as Pegasus's. The s-less form is a more recent development, and I agree with you that Pegasus's is more consistent. Pegasus', however ugly, is allowed, though. --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 15:41, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
- Mhhh, alright. But we use apostrophe-s for its plural here, so it's better to stick to that. --Serenity 15:46, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
Deletions
Please, please, PLEASE do not delete articles stating "per consensus on talk page" or similar, and delete the talk page mere seconds later. Not only is this very confusing for non-sysops who haven't seen the full discussion (e.g. me), it's also policy to leave the talk page intact, per this discussion. Please restore Talk:Threa Sita (and move it to Talk:Thera Sita) and Talk:Apple iPatch. Also, you might wanna see Threa Sita/Thwhatever Sita which has slightly more content (you might wanna merge some stuff). --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 06:07, 2 July 2007 (CDT)
- Yeah, I wasn't sure if this policy is officially in effect already. Sorry. :(
- I don't have time now, but I will get to it later. And I left out that content deliberately, because it's just retelling the episode. --Serenity 06:12, 2 July 2007 (CDT)
Citing
OK, cool! Just one question though. I've tried using the template you mentioned but the number of the citing wasn't correct. It should have been 13 but came out 6, or something like that. Any idea where I might have gone wrong? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Helo87 (talk • contribs).
- The numbering is caused by the ref tags and done automatically. It depends on the order of the references. If you insert a reference somewhere inbetween, the others after it will change, so you can't really influence it the way you want. But there is no need to worry about it, as the exact number of a reference doesn't really matter. Just that it has one. --Serenity 18:18, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
Joe's Bar
Thanks for the add on the Crew facilities page on Joe's Bar...I was trying to remember other times it had been used for other things and I was WAY too tired to be thinking about anything!--RUSnooky 10:14, 10 July 2007 (CDT)
- No problem. :) The refugee camp is technically another use, but I don't think it should go here, as it's for the civilians and not the crew. --Serenity 10:21, 10 July 2007 (CDT)
- I had the exact same thought. If we do that I think we'd have to add the launch tubes as execution chambers too :)--RUSnooky 11:19, 10 July 2007 (CDT)
Archiving
It's good you're adding the ArchiveBot to pages, but you should make sure the archive points to Talk:(insertpagehere), not User_Talk:Serenity. If you don't make sure of that, pages like Talk:Crossroads, Part II would be put into an archive on your user talk page. --BklynBruzer 20:38, 13 July 2007 (CDT)
- EEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!! I copied the code from my page. Thanks for reminding me. Thankfully the bot isn't always on :) --Serenity 04:59, 14 July 2007 (CDT)
Copy/Paste
What'd I do wrong on the copy paste for GuyIncognito? I saw where it dropped a lot of it into the comments section on recent changes, but something else I need to know?--RUSnooky 10:23, 16 July 2007 (CDT)
- You copied it from your user page, right? Because instead of his user name, yours was there :) Btw, you can just use a the template {{welcome|Username}} instead.
- But it's not as bad as my recent copy/paste job where I accidentally told the archive bot to archive several pages to my own talk page. Fortunately it wasn't running. --Serenity 10:30, 16 July 2007 (CDT)
- Yeah, I just noticed that I was answering his question about fanfiction. What a dumbass I am. Maybe nexttime I write to you I'll sign it Serentiy :)--RUSnooky 10:32, 16 July 2007 (CDT)
- Don't worry. Nothing bad happened. Just use the welcome template next time. Less work anyways :) --Serenity 10:36, 16 July 2007 (CDT)

Thanks!
Thanks for the quick revert and block on the misguided sap. The person in question has attempted to get under my skin for sometime now -- which in itself is extremely sad, actually, and rather hilarious to boot! Much obliged. :-) -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New 14:56, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
- Dude's an ass. Jealousy perhaps? -- Veepz 15:04, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
- I likely banned the person in question from WP during my active period there. He probably has nothing better to do. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New 15:13, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
- The guy's definitely got some nerve, vandalizing your user page. Pity for him anons don't get move rights, or you would've been at User:Loser or User:Pornlover right now ;) --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 15:49, 31 July 2007 (CDT)

- Ewww stalkers. I guess those aren't losers at all. He really owned you there. ;) --Serenity 16:14, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
- ROFL! :-) Again, I'm most amused by this. Particularly since it's all ancient history at this point. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New 16:19, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
Edit
I think you need to edit the welcome template some more, I can't do it. It says "by enter fouring tides". Perhaps "by entering four tides" would be better? -- Veepz 16:25, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
- Frak! Thanks for telling me. Cursor must have jumped somehow :( --Serenity 16:28, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
- Hehe, no worries, it has happened to me on numerous occasions. :-) -- Veepz 16:30, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
Wikipedian
Um, why am I no longer a wikipedian? Durandal 08:33, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
- Because we decided that we are not really Wikipedians and so the category was changed to "Galactipedian". That happened in June already. I just got around to changing the users who added the category by hand and so weren't affected by the automatic change. --Serenity 08:35, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
- Duly noted. Meanwhile, as I happen to be (at least in theory) a wikipedian and a galactipedian, I will be re-adding the former. As a side note, it might be a good idea to acutally use the summary field in such cases, as it cuts down on the "HUH?" moments... TheEverRampant Durandal 08:40, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
- Yeah, but it wasn't just you I changed as Special:Recentchanges shows. So not making an edit summary for all was just laziness :(
- I understand that you might see yourself as a Wikipedian in the sense as being on the actual Wikipedia, but that's not really what the category was about. It was just users of this wiki and merely used the Wikipedia name. I deleted the category, but I can restore without all the sub categories, so people who think they are true Wikipedians can use it. --Serenity 08:45, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
- Laziness gets the best of all of us at times.... meh. Meanwhile, the whole reason I ever added that tag was because I thought that was what that catagory was about. Considering my lack of activity recently, amongst other factors, I'm not going to ask/demand that a catagory be created solely on my whim. Durandal 08:56, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
- Well, there was at least one other person who likes the idea of all wikis falling under the "Wikipedia" header. I won't restore all the sub categories, so it's no hassle. That there is some confusion about its meaning just shows that doing something about it was a good idea. And while some people are also Wikipedia editors, not all who added the category are. The intended meaning was more "Battlestar Wiki users". --Serenity 09:03, 16 August 2007 (CDT)

Troy --> Troy (1980) conversion
The next time you do such a conversion, it would be nice if you marked the edits as minor and specified [[Troy]] --> [[Troy (1980]] in the edit summary. That may seem like a lot of work, but if you have any browser at all you'll only have to type it out in full once. This little addition makes these trivial changes much easier to spot in Special:Recentchanges. --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 15:55, 19 August 2007 (CDT)
- See, above. I'm just lazy :(
- But to be honest, once you checked one edit with "diff", you know what the others are all about, because they all have the same changed characters. So I don't see that it's a big mystery. You are right on the major/minor thing though. --Serenity 16:09, 19 August 2007 (CDT)
- And you're right about the summary thing, although most users are just as lazy as you are ;) --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 16:15, 19 August 2007 (CDT)
language confusion
aussi is without the "e", but thanks, I'll keep it in mind ;) --Aerelon 10:22, 27 August 2007 (CDT)
