	~~The reasons we '''protect/lock'~~'' the ~~current episode guide close to and during airing of episode is~~ for ~~a number of reasons~~.		:''For the article on the [[Re-imagined Series]] use for spacecraft, see [[Airlock]].''

	~~# To help server speed by not slowing down the overall connections made~~ to ~~the server.~~		Battlestar Wiki [[BW:USERTYPES\|Chiefs and Senior Chiefs]] will often '''lock episode guide articles related to a currently airing episode''' for a period of time.
	~~# To make sure everyone has~~ a ~~chance to watch the~~ episode~~. But most importantly...~~
	~~# Locking the episode allows you to gather your thoughts first before you rush to update the page with content that would otherwise have to be re-edited in the first place~~.

	~~This however~~ is not done on ~~other~~ articles unless that article is ~~going~~ to ~~be a highly motivated article~~ to ~~update~~. ~~This~~ is [[BW:NOT\|not a race to who can edit ~~first~~]], but ~~a place of content and~~ [[BW:CJ\|precise information]]. It's better to have all the facts instead of leaving some out.		We '''protect/lock''' the current episode guide before, during and sometimes shortly after the last airing of an episode because:

			# Locking articles help the wiki's server speed by not slowing down the overall connections made to the server. Battlestar Wiki is visited very often while an episode is airing or nearing air time. Contributors often make conflicting edits during airings, causing serious slowdowns (even downtime) of the entire wiki.
			# Locking articles give everyone a chance to watch the episode before a wiki visit could spoil that.
			# Most importantly, locking the episode allows you to gather your thoughts first before you rush to update the page with content that would otherwise have to be re-edited in the first place.

			Locking is generally not done on related articles to the airing episode unless that article is known to contain significant changes to the character, event, or object (things like birth, death, change of status or destruction).

			Remember that editing is [[BW:NOT\|not a race to see who can make the first edit]], but to add accurate, [[BW:CJ\|precise information]]. It's better to have all the facts instead of leaving some out for the sake of "first post."
