| ==Fanfic== | | == Thanks for the offer and hospitality, Mr. Viper == |
| (I hope I'm doing this right.) I got your message about a fanfic article on my user page and thank you for the invitation to discuss it over here. Although I don't know when I'd be able to write something up, I would be interested in putting together a fanfic article, if you think there's enough interest here for such a beast. I'm so new to all this, though, that I probably will need help... (On the bright side, I ''did'' figure out how to do a header on this entry, all by myself. Hee.)

| :You did just fine! I often append new conversations to the bottom of a page, but there are others that prefer to be at the top of the stack. I live out of the Recent Changes page and diffs, so I should be able to find it either way. Creating the article is as simple as "searching" for a topic that doesn't exist, and clicking the "create this article" link on the resulting page. In this case [[Fan fiction]] might be an appropriate article name, as a [[Memoryalpha:Fan fiction|page]] with that name exists over at Memory-alpha. (I am nothing if not a pattern-follower.) I may go ahead and "click the red link" and get the page created, since I know that can be a scary process when you're not used to it. Whenever you're ready, feel free to start in on it. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 16:05, 6 April 2006 (CDT)
| | Thank you so much for your words of welcome into this well put together website as well as the offer to display my artwork on a budding Battlestar Galactica fansite. I am flattered by your proposal and I would be happy to participate. I do not claim on being the best fan artist out there. I don't have graphic images or fancy computer programs. All I have is a sheet of paper, colored pencils, a scanner (which is momentarily broken), and a PowerPoint program to add additional information. Regardless, I will try my best to give BSG fans what they want. I would be honored to put my art on your site. |
| ::A) Yeah to create new articles, i.e. "Frodo", you would type "Frodo" into the search bar, it would say that a page of that name doesn't exist, along with a red linke saying you may "creat this article", click on that, then "edit" the blank page (just as you click "edit" to post on any page, such as you did for this one) and type your info. We'll help you along with the particulars later. <br> B)'''I see nothing wrong with copying from MemoryAlpha, I've been bringing this up more lately, but I really base alot of BSGwiki stuff on MemoryAlpha'''. Entries for the battles series, and so forth. They've already established and worked the kinks out of a lot of this, so I usually try to '''"reverse-engineer"''' things to do for ''BattlestarWiki'' by examining Memory Alpha. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 17:17, 6 April 2006 (CDT)

| I see you deleted quite a few images the other day (March 31), but you deletet quite a few that were being linked to. [[Heavy Raider]] and [[Basestar]].

| :'''Sigh'''. My bad. It is exceedingly difficult to determine that images being linked in that way are being used, since they don't register in the "what links here" and they end up in the "unused files" report (which is what I was cleaning up). I tried restoring the images, but it appeared to only restore the text. I guess for now I'll remove the dead links, but you might post to the talk page and see if people interested in those articles miss those images. I apologize for trampling over your images in my "cleaning rampage". I did not intend to delete the linked images. Perhaps a short term hack for getting them off of the "unused files" would be to post thumbnails to the talk page. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 07:35, 3 April 2006 (CDT)

And (as you've probably noticed) it's all the same junk. I'm surprised they don't move on to less heavily patrolled waters.

| == Japanese articles ==
| | Mr. Viper, |
|
| |
|
| Hey SV, as you already know I have been creating some articles in Japanese. When I was just starting I made a couple mistakes. Unfortunately I messed up the titles of the pages, so we have links to pages that really aren't needed and should be, if I may quote from Stewie, "Eliminated." Here are the links that I would appreciate being destroyed:
| | Regarding your suggestions on what format to use for the Fan Art gallery, I think it should definitely be in a gallery format. Being a long time user of Wikis everywhere, I always found it easier to visually see the picture than to continuously click on an article and read look at it to see what it's like. Please advise. |

| | == DeviantArt Notice == |
|
| |
|
| ::These links were created incorrectly. #1 has a space between the jp: and the title, I did not do that on any of the other episode guide titles. It can be redirected to this link if you can't eliminate the page: [[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I/jp:あんたの負担を落とす, 部分 一]]. #2 is incorrect because Part I does not jive with the ending of the title in Japanese: 部分 (ニ)=2. So the second link if it can't be destroyed can be redirected to: [[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II/jp:あんたの負担を落とす, 部分 ニ].

| Great work with the podcast transcription, SV! Something so minor that I hate to even mention it, but for the multipart episodes I use [http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/episodes Sci Fi's episode list] as my guide for the titling of episodes (i.e. using Part 1 and 2 instead of Part I and II). So when I verified your podcast, I changed the "I's" and "II's" to "One's" or "Two's" and used the long hand version just to err on the side of caution with regards to the [[Battlestar_Wiki:Standards_and_Conventions#Spelling_and_Numbers|Standards and Conventions]].

|
| Shaun, from Subject2Discussion, heard about my stance against Koenigrules on HangarDeck5, and e-mailed me back complaining that A) I wanted to "rip into" Koenigrules B)"recalling it was YOU, Merovingian, that Ron Moore was talking about in regards to massive spoilers." As a result, I will *NOT* be appearing on his show, he said.
| | == [[:Image:Hellen.jpg]] == |
|
| |
|
| I replied back to Shaun, telling him that B) That doesn't make sense: I've never spread massive spoilers: if he means the season 2 finale spoiler warning, that was against "TheDigitalAlchemist" a poster on the official messageboards who openly admits that he spread the spoilers---->I mean, he started a thread, using his normal user name, which was filled with spoiler screencaps from the finale. And he's proud of this and will admit it to anyone. If Shaun meant "recent spoiler complaints Ron has had".....all of the recent season THREE spoilers have originated with KoenigRules. So I honestly don't know why Shaun would think that.

| |
|
| As for "A" I told Shaun that yes, I want to in a professional manner "rip into" Koenigrules....because his behavior has been so appalling, and has abused our trust so much, that he deserves to be exposed. ---->I told Shaun that I hope he would reconsider, because we have all here already agreed on BSWiki to blacklist KoenigRules, and I really, really felt that the right thing to do is to go onto Shaun's show to explain to both him and his listeners why we felt we had to do it. ---->I also urged Shaun to read our eveidence against Koenigrules, posted on BattlestarWiki (I don't think he saw it yet).
| | == Battlestar Galacticast == |
|
| |
|
| I hope Shaun gives up the benefit of the doubt: I think we're really trying to help ''him'', by pointing out this breach of trust to him, and by wanting to contact him personally via phone instead of just doing it.

| I added a block explanation to the user's page already, but feel free to add any additional explanation or clarify/modify what I've added. He's a bit of a loose cannon, this one. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 10:16, 21 June 2006 (CDT)
| |
| :Thanks! Looks good. For whatever good it will do... (it appears that he doesn't read his talk page). You'd think he/she'd notice the "new messages" prompt that appears at the top. Perhaps not. Being blocked limits that user to only editing their talk page, so hopefully this gives them an opportunity to find it and respond. I'd like to see Cylon500 be a contributing member. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 11:18, 21 June 2006 (CDT)

| I just looked at those advertising images you made and was overwhelmed with a need to respond. WOW. Those are some GREAT advertisements, with the perfect blend of factuality and satire (making Spencerian Adama, thumbs up!). Alas, the wonders of Adobe Photoshop (or other program, if you don't use Photoshop) never cease. Of course, you'd probably need to update the group image with Mercifull's face, since he's a new admin, but other than that they're awesome. Where do you post that stuff anyway? I though Wikipedia was commercial free, or is this going out on the World Wide Web, or am I just completely mistaken as to where they go? --[[User:Homeworld616|Homeworld616]] 14:35, 23 July 2006 (CDT)

| :Thanks for the feedback! World Wide Web was the idea, to be used by other Galactica sites or by contributors on their webpages or as signatures on message boards. It wasn't really a completed thought, and was partly just "proof of concept". I do post similar work over in my [http://galacticabs.com/index.php?showtopic=751 Galactica BS fan art thread]. Photoshop 6 is the "weapon of choice". I've got GIMP installed on another machine, but I don't know it nearly as well as PS at this point. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 06:58, 24 July 2006 (CDT)

| ::Well, they were great nonetheless and it's good to know that you aren't injured. If you are confused by that "injured" comment, I said it because I noticed in the newspaper this morning that there was a gunman shooting people at a party in a Knights of Columbus building in Kansas City. I saw from your character box that that is where you live, and when I saw the ages of two of the dead victims I immediately thought, "Holy frak! I hope Steelviper wasn't one of them!" --[[User:Homeworld616|Homeworld616]] 23:42, 24 July 2006 (CDT)

| ==User Name==

| | |
| As a massive Battletech fan, I'm surprised it took me this long to comment on your user name. The clans are one of my favorite parts of the universe though. Of course, the Jade Falcons are the greatest of the clans, Quiaff? --[[User:Talos|Talos]] 15:09, 23 July 2006 (CDT)
| |
| :Neg. (But then, you're asking a fan of the clan that got ran out of their invasion corridor in the Inner Sphere by the Falcons, so I'm more than a little biased.) --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 07:01, 24 July 2006 (CDT)
| |
| ::True, true, better than Wolverine, Wolf, or Smoke(d) Jaguar though. --[[User:Talos|Talos]] 10:55, 24 July 2006 (CDT)
| |
| :::It took me a second to remember that first one is the "Not named clan". Which Wolf? (Got all fractured, etc.) And the poor Jaguars ended up paying the price for Wolcott (though I hear it was actually the insolence of an individual on a usenet group pissing off the FASA writers that was actually their undoing). And I DO have to give the Falcons credit for kicking the Vipers out of their "wedge". I think I always resented a little the support they got from all the Aiden Pryde readers. Clan Steel Viper was always sort of a "Ravenclaw" or a "Hufflepuff" to the Falcon's "Gryffendor" or "Slytherin" (to put it in terms of Harry Potter).--[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 11:08, 24 July 2006 (CDT)

| ::::When I said Wolves, I meant both the Wolves and the WIE. Kell is cool, except in Operation Audacity when he helps fight the Falcons. I'm a big fan of Pryde, he has a great story (The Jade Phoenix Saga is a great book). Yeah, the Vipers are cool, better than those crazy, shaman (and traitorous) Nova Cats and the bloody Fire Mandrills. --[[User:Talos|Talos]] 17:02, 24 July 2006 (CDT)

| | |
| I'm working on the updated wiki comparison article; I'll likely make it a special page of some kind. I couldn't remember where we discussed redoing it, thus the note here. I hope to have it done before the weekend, but I have to dive around all the wikis a lot. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 10:36, 2 August 2006 (CDT)

Thanks for the offer and hospitality, Mr. Viper
Thank you so much for your words of welcome into this well put together website as well as the offer to display my artwork on a budding Battlestar Galactica fansite. I am flattered by your proposal and I would be happy to participate. I do not claim on being the best fan artist out there. I don't have graphic images or fancy computer programs. All I have is a sheet of paper, colored pencils, a scanner (which is momentarily broken), and a PowerPoint program to add additional information. Regardless, I will try my best to give BSG fans what they want. I would be honored to put my art on your site.
Thank you so much for the offer. So say we all (or maybe just me).

Definitely gallery format
Mr. Viper,
Regarding your suggestions on what format to use for the Fan Art gallery, I think it should definitely be in a gallery format. Being a long time user of Wikis everywhere, I always found it easier to visually see the picture than to continuously click on an article and read look at it to see what it's like. Please advise.

DeviantArt Notice
Dear Mr. Viper (I think that's going to be your new nickname if I may be so bold),
I will definitely spread the word to other BSG Deviants. The only reason I haven't been posting art is (this is humiliating) I forgot how to upload images.
Incompetently yours,
Forestbender
You're gonna be happy with me, Mr. Viper
Dear Mr. Viper,
As you have told me, I have started to direct Deviants to BSP. I haven't just directed, I've downright recruited. I already have at least five incredibly gifted artists who have agreed to let us use their pictures. However, one of them asked if this is good for college credit. Is it? Please contact me ASAP.

BSP
Mr. Viper,
I have a good idea. Really good idea.
You know how on the character pages in BSW, they give all this info on the colony, the job, the birth name, etc. of the character. What if we used that same format for the users of BSP? See my user page to get the idea of what I'm talking about.
If you like it, submit your own. I can't wait to see what colony you're from.
-Forestbender
- While we could add "Colony" to the User Data template, I'm not sure how frequently it'd get filled out. I'm not terribly proud of my birth colony (based on my birthdate) of Aquaria, seeing as how badly our team got stomped by the Picon Panthers last season. Though if people did want to fill in that kind of information, using the Character Data template like you did is the perfect way to do it, in my opinion. --Steelviper 15:36, 22 March 2008 (CDT)
Idea for the header. :) Shane (talk) 16:07, 16 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
- Oh. The random images. OK. I'll get right on that. --Steelviper 08:26, 17 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Battlestar Galacticast
Not sure if you were already aware, but Tricia began a podcast called "Battlestar Galacticast" that may be worth exploring. I've only begun listening to it, but it looks very promising for new nuggets of information. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 21:57, 22 May 2019 (PDT)
Age
Nice to see some new activity on the wiki. Particularly I was amused by you updating your age for the first time in a decade. Did you know that we have a template to calculate age so that you don't need to manually keep updating it? {{age|yyyy|mm|dd}} --Mercifull (Talk/Contribs) 05:15, 24 May 2019 (PDT)
