This noticeboard is a location to discuss and coordinate administrative tasks for the Battlestar Wiki. | |||
It is my hope that this place can serve as a location for administrators to coordinate their efforts on the maintenance tasks of the Wiki (it's not ALL fun and games), as well as a spot for our contributors to be able to bring things to the attention of the admins if something needs to be done. Need a protected page edited? An article or picture deleted? Admins will watchlist this page so that your request won't get lost in the shuffle. | |||
== Tasks == | |||
Special pages that could use some attention include: | |||
* [[Special:Lonelypages|The Article Orphanarium]] | |||
* [[Special:Deadendpages|Dead-end Pages]] - usually a sign that there are no citations | |||
* [[Battlestar Wiki:Community Portal]] - [[User:Steelviper/CommunityPortal|ideas]] to develop a "portal" for the wiki community | |||

== David Larson Screen Capture == | |||
Hi | |||
I am new to the site and wanted to say that it is one of the best Galactica sites on the web. I have used it as a reference source on many, many occassions. Thanks to all the contributors. | |||
A few of weeks from now, I have an opportunity to get an autograph from David Larson (Baby Walker from TOS and one of the Super Scouts). Does anyone have a screen capture of him that I could get him to autograph? Thanks Larrydale140 | |||
:Hi, Larry. A number of folks that work on the [[Battlestar Wiki:Original Series Article Development Project]] have the DVD collection and have contributed many screenshots. I would direct your request on [[The Super Scouts]] article to request this picture. Oh, in the future, to sign and date/timestamp your talk entries, just place a couple of hyphens and four tilde ("~") symbols. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 16:12, 8 February 2006 (EST) | |||
:The [[Walker]] article has the best shot that I could find in Greetings From Earth. I could take a shot of the whole scene (that includes Sarah holding him), though, if you wanted something bigger to print out. You might ask [[User:Mokwella|Mokwella]] about the Galactica 1980 stuff, as he's been the ONLY source of screenshots and information from that series that we've really had. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 16:30, 8 February 2006 (EST) | |||
[[Image:SarahWalker.jpg|thumb|right]] | |||
:If you click through the thumbnail on the right you should find the full 640x480 screenshot. It's the best pic of Walker that I could easily identify from Greetings from Earth. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 18:18, 8 February 2006 (EST) | |||
Thank you. The screen capture is perfect. --[[User:Larrydale140|Larrydale140]] 12:18, 9 February 2006 (EST) | |||
== Home, Part II == | |||
[[Home, Part II]] lacks a summary section in the episode summary. I JUST deleted that episode from my DVR last night (was cleaning things up), so if somebody who has a copy of that could take that on that'd be great. It'd be a shame to have a gap in our RDM episode coverage. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 11:12, 8 February 2006 (EST) | |||
:Ah, hell, I can probably do that one from memory. I'll look into it if someone doesn't beat me to it. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 11:22, 8 February 2006 (EST) | |||
::Fire continuously? Thanks for looking into it.--[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 11:26, 8 February 2006 (EST) | |||

I have proposed a large-scale revision in [[Talk:Toaster]]--[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] 14:16, 20 February 2006 (EST) | |||
=== | === Billy === | ||
Does anyone know why Billy was killed off? I have been unable to find an official statement on this issue. Did the actor Paul Campbell transfer to a different show or was his death solely story oriented? Is it possible he may come back as a cylon? | |||
:Paul Campbell will be starring in another show, I forget the name.--[[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 18:26, 8 March 2006 (EST) | |||
:According to RDM's podcast for [[Sacrifice]], the decision to off him was done to let Campbell take advantage of the leading roles he had been offered in other series. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] 17:25, 8 March 2006 (CST) | |||
== | == Spam Alert == | ||
I've noticed an uptick in the amount of spamming recently, all linking to the same sites (looks like some sort of a prescription drug outfit). | |||

I don't have access to their IP addresses, but it appears from the IP block log that they are trying to repeat offend. Just wanted to let you guys know so you can be on the lookout. These persons (if there are, in fact, multiple), have been amply warned and the "leniency window" is quickly slamming shut. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 12:26, 9 March 2006 (CST) | |||
