Naszym celem nie jest wnikliwe sprawdzanie, które nieoficjalne źródła przedstawiają prawdziwe informacje. Naszym celem jest zamieszczanie prawdziwych informacji w formie encyklopedii. Z tego | Naszym celem nie jest wnikliwe sprawdzanie, które nieoficjalne źródła przedstawiają prawdziwe informacje. Naszym celem jest zamieszczanie prawdziwych informacji w formie encyklopedii. Z tego powody, nie cytujemy plotek z innych źródeł niż oficjalne. Do oficjalnych źródeł zaliczamy [[Sci Fi Channel]], [[Ronald D. Moore|Ronalda D. Moore'a]] oraz innych aktorów i członków ekipy [[Original Series|Oryginalneg]] lub [[Re-imagined Series|Nowego Serialu]]. Każda informacja ze źródła innego, niż wyżej wymienione będzie natychmiast z wiki usuwana. | ||

=== | ===Special considerations in using derived content=== | ||
Using either plausible speculation or logical deduction methods require all contributors to cite '''credible official sources that support their speculation or deduction.''' Be sure to use footnote templates or the Sources namespace (see later sections) to add in the references that support your hypotheses. | |||
It is also very important to note the subtle differences between logical or plausible interpretation of observed concepts and events of the show, and '''generating''' ideas of what you or other fans of the show ''believe'' has happened. Don't attempt to explain away a plot hole, circumstance, mistake or other event in the show with your own created idea that hasn't an official source. This mistake is known as [[BW:FANW|fanwanking]]. As a wiki that encyclopedically chronicles a work of fiction, Battlestar Wiki policy on derived content treads all too closely to the problems created in using [[Wikipedia:No_original_research|original research]], which is why '''official sources are critical for any derived content'''. | |||
Articles without obvious official sourcing will be marked for deletion, where contributors have a period of time to improve the article. Articles without any internal links to episode information, characters and events (common to fanwanked articles or fanon) may be marked for [[Battlestar Wiki:Candidates for deletion|speedy deletion]]. | |||
=== | ===Footnote Templates=== | ||
Battlestar Wiki supports the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cite/Cite.php Cite.php] script for the purpose of making footnotes where in-text citations become too cumbersome. This is the preferred way of citing sources. If you use this method, please make sure the <code><nowiki><references/></nowiki></code> tag is flanked like so: <code><nowiki><div style="font-size:85%"><references/></div></nowiki></code>. In addistion to using the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cite/Cite.php Cite.php] script, all citations are to be in proper format. [[:Category:Citation templates|Citation templates]] have been imported from ''Wikipedia'' to help. Please review the template pages to understand how they are used. These templates should be placed within the <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> tags. | |||
In the past, we have used <nowiki>{{ref}} and {{note}}</nowiki> (imported from Wikipedia) for this purpose. They have been removed from the system. Please see [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cite/Cite.php Cite.php] script for examples on how to use the new tags. | |||
We also have taken the liberty of adding {{tl|citation needed}}, a template which does double duty by adding articles needing citations to the [[:Category:Articles requiring citations|Articles requiring citations]] category as well as indicating which paragraph or sentence requires the citation. | |||
Footnotes are most useful to keep the voice of an article from oscillating between describing a viewer perspective or behind-the-scenes notation as opposed to the "in-universe" description of the character or event. Here is an example of where a footnote would aid in keeping the focus of the article on the subject matter and not related matter: | |||
<blockquote>"Ragnar Anchorage resides inside the gas giant, Ragnar. '''Filmed in a sugar mill near Vancouver''', the Anchorage is a Colonial storage depot. '''The main depot area is later used as the Temple of Five in the episode, "The Eye of Jupiter."'''</blockquote> | |||
Here, the out-of-universe comments (shown in bold, above) on the real-world scenery take away the article's attempt to describe Ragnar Anchorage as if it were a real place. By moving these comments to a footnote, the "flavor" of the article and its subject matter is retained. | |||

Lista źródeł istnieje po to, aby zebrać razem treści głównych źródeł. Przykład: [[Sources:Correspondence with Jose Perez]]. Wszystkie główne źródła powinny być na niej umieszczone. | Lista źródeł istnieje po to, aby zebrać razem treści głównych źródeł. Przykład: [[Sources:Correspondence with Jose Perez]].

=== | ===How to cite print sources=== | ||
Print sources, such as ''Battlestar Galactica: The Official Magazine'', should be cited with a full MLA style citation in the footnote and, where possible, a brief and pertinent quote. See [[Saul Tigh#References]] for an example. | |||

===Articles needing sources=== | |||
[[:Category:Articles requiring citations]] provides a list of articles already tagged with {{tl|citation needed}}. | |||
*[[Original Battlestar (RDM)]] - Many technical items found here without sources. | |||
*[[Viper (TOS)]] - Unsourced dimensions of the vehicles. | |||
*Any of the alleged [[Zoic]] battlestars not authenticated in episodes or elsewhere: Prometheus; [[Pacifica]]; [[Rycon]] (of which a battlestar ''does'' exist in TOS); Poseidon; Argo; [[Acropolis]]. | |||
*Need source on director Ahmer Lateaf from TOS episode "[[Greetings from Earth]]"; does not appear in IMDB. | |||
===Widespread misconceptions (aka "[[Wikipedia:Fanon (fiction)|Fanon]]")=== | |||
*The RDM ''Galactica'' is not equipped with [[railgun]]s (see the article, [[Weapons in the Re-imagined Series]], for more information). | |||
*No official sources back up the assertion of the Original Series battlestar ''[[Columbia (TOS)|Columbia]]'' as the namesake for the battlestar class of the [[Colonial Fleet (TOS)|old Colonial Fleet]]. | |||
*No official source implies that there are specifically twelve [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies#Belief|Lords of Kobol]]. | |||
*The Re-imagined Series of ''Battlestar Galactica'' does not necessarily take place in the "future" relative to our present on Earth. Executive producer [[Ron Moore]], as well as many of the cast and crew, consistently point out that the timeframe of the series is deliberately ambiguous, and could be set in the past, present, or future relative to Earth today. | |||
