== Welcome to Battlestar Wiki! ==
Welcome to the Wiki, Spartan-117. Tell us about yourself on [[User:Spartan-117|your user page]]. We have a [[Template:User Data|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:What is Battlestar Wiki|Battlestar Wiki's purpose]], avoiding [[BW:NOT|what we aren't]].

Our [[BW:SAC|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 [[BW:TUT|an editing tutorial]] and [[BW:MARK|wiki markup codes]] to help you.

Our policies on [[w:Original research|original research]] differ from places such as Wikipedia. We allow [[BW:CJ#Derived Content|some research based on aired episode content]], but don't allow [[BW:FANW|speculation that isn't supported from episode events]].

Battlestar Wiki's [[Battlestar Wiki:Project List|many projects]] help improve our content. Are you an [[Original Series]] fan? Help out in the [[Battlestar Wiki:Original Series Article Development Project|Original Series Article Project]]. [[Battlestar Wiki:Translation Project|Non-English versions of Battlestar Wiki]] also need contributors, and helpers for our [[BW:POD|podcast transcriptions]] are also welcome. New projects should be brought to our [[BW:TANK|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 [[Battlestar Wiki:Wikipedian Quorum|the Quorum]] or [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard|the administrators' noticeboard]].

We look forward to your contributions to the community!

== Regarding edit on [[Basestar (TOS)]] ==

Hi, welcome to the Wiki! I'm letting you know that I removed your recent edit on the [[Basestar (TOS)]] article mainly because it was conjecture. Also, I wasn't entirely sure what you meant by the addition, since it seemed to be more or less an incomplete idea. If you could let me know what you were aiming for, perhaps I can help you flesh out your point? -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 21:24, 29 May 2007 (CDT)
:I just reverted a more recent edit. It seems, Spartan, that you've fleshed out the idea, but it's the kind of idea that really belongs in the talk page, not the article itself. --[[User:BklynBruzer|BklynBruzer]] 22:46, 29 May 2007 (CDT)
::He disagrees that the basestar is only an homage and thinks that it was really used in the Cylon War, but with possibly more primitive weapons. It's there and possibly needs to be explained, but it's strange that the Cylons would use own ships so quickly, when in fact they started out as Colonial soldiers. But as said, it's something for the talk pages. Saying things like "I think" and "I disagree" in articles is a big no-no. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 08:53, 30 May 2007 (CDT)
