			===Citing Episodes===

			Episodes are typically cited at the end of the paragraph or sentence stating a fact seen or mentioned in said episode(s). For instance, from the article on the Re-imagined Series's ''[[Galactica (RDM)\|Galactica]]'':

			: Four months after their escape, ''Galactica'''s staff is still in the process of developing a rescue strategy with 16 training exercises having been completed and a 17th underway when an accident causes its early cessation ([[TRS]]: "[[Occupation]]"). This forces both a change in strategy and the reformulation of a rescue plan to deal with personnel who have not seen conflict in 16 months. While ''Galactica'' fights to liberate the Colonials on-planet, ''Pegasus'' is assigned to protect the remaining civilian Fleet and continue its search for [[Earth (RDM)\|Earth]] ([[TRS]]: "[[Precipice]]"; "[[Exodus, Part I]]").

			All episode citations have the following format: (SERIES ACRONYM: "Episode Name").

			The following acronyms are used (typically in alpha-order):

			* [[1980]]: ''Galactica 1980''
			* [[CAP]]: ''Caprica''
			* [[TOS]]: The Original Series
			* [[TRS]]: The Re-imagined Series

			Multiple episodes inside the cite parentheses typically use the comma ''outside'' of the ending quotation mark. The only exception to the comma use is when the episode title already contains a comma within it, such as "[[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down]]." In that event, the semi-colon is used to separate said episode titles.

	Plausible speculation occurs when official sources on the subject are sparse, but substantially important events and results occur in the official sources that logical possibilities can be generated. Plausible speculations are ''highly'' fluid and subject to extreme editing as new official information occurs. Again, '''plausible explanations lend themselves best to character behaviors and motivations.'''

	One significant example of an article that uses a great deal of plausible speculation is the article ~~on [[Humanoid Cylon speculation]] and~~ [[Case Orange]]. For contributors of [[Original Series]] content, plausible speculation is all that can be drawn upon on since the Original Series and its [[Galactica 1980\|spinoff]] have long ceased production, and there are very few official resources available to consult or research.
