	::I do not want to drag this up again as it was resolved, and I agree that it inappropriate for anyone to act as sole spokesperson.

This was resolved, and to be honest, more amicably than I had hoped. More to the point, before KR responded everyone here voted that they agreed with my (previous) position.

			== Quorum Definintion ==

			This should be for questions only and not ideas. If everything was "moderated" there would be no [[BW:BOLD]] or "Good Faith". This underminds the purpose of implemiting new ideas. --[[User:Shane\|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane\|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane\|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane\|E]])</sup> 14:01, 10 June 2006 (CDT)

			:I think the idea is... "being bold" would be coming up with cool new data box/category/what have you that could go on every character page. You'd still "be bold" to go ahead an implement it for one character, to show how it would look. It would be "reckless" to go ahead an implement the new widget on every character page on the wiki without feedback. What happens if you post something here, or on the new widget's talk page, or elsewhere soliciting feedback and you don't get any? (I know that happens sometimes, and it can be frustrating.) Maybe try to actively engage some of the "regulars" on their talk page, inviting them to weigh in on a topic. Is it slower? Most definitely. However, in the process of building consensus you're bringing others "on board", investing them in the project. You'll likely have helping hands for implementing whatever gets sorted out (and it may even be exactly what you proposed). I think the main distinction falls between "implementing" the new ideas (creating the widgets, proposing formatting standards/changes, etc) and doing all the grunt work to make them happen. Energetic and active posters are vital to the health of the wiki. We just need to make sure that we use good judgement and establish consensus as to where we direct all that energy and activity. Together our potential is limited only by our imagination (and sometimes by whatever version of Mediawiki we're running). --[[User:Steelviper\|Steelviper]] 08:13, 12 June 2006 (CDT)

			::What SV said. Besides, by alerting others to your idea, you might get some pointers to do it better or improve your idea...and even save a bit of work as the tasks are delegated. Very few articles (or components thereof) in our wiki are sole projects by one contributor. --[[User:Spencerian\|Spencerian]] 12:19, 12 June 2006 (CDT)

			== DVD titles. ==

			At the moment the DVD information pages are a little messed up and the content is confusing because they differ from America to Europe but sre still on the same pages in some cases.
			Here is a list of all the DVD pages
			*[[Miniseries DVD]] Covers both the American and European versions on the same page
			*[[Season 1 DVD]] Covers both the American and European versions on the same page
			*[[Season 2.0 DVD]] Just the Region 1 American version
			*[[Season 2 DVD]] Just the Region 1,4 Version for Europe and Australia
			*[[Season 2.5 DVD]] Just the Region 1 American version
			I think that a new naming convention should be in place. ''Season X DVD (Region #)'' eg ''[[Season 1 DVD (Region 1)]]'' for the American version of the first series DVD's. I think this would save a lot more confusion in the long term as some pages have information on two different sets of DVDs on one page whearas the 2.0, 2.5 and 2 have more specific information which I belive is better.

			I therefor propose a new naming convention with linking pages to direct people with one page summarising all the DVD's together.

			===Support===
			*{{support}}: As explained above --[[User:Mercifull\|Mercifull]] 04:25, 26 June 2006 (CDT)

			===Oppose===
			*{{oppose}}: No, I think our current DVD's should retain their current names, and a new separate page be made that says "Season 2 DVD (UK version) or something"--->My point being that it's not a widespread enough thing that it justifies giving the other DVD's confusing titles. I mean we've got "Scar" and then "Scar (Raider)" to set the two apart, because that's only 2 things, while there's nothing named just "Resistance" now but "Resistance (episode)", etc. because it's a big change. Long story short, I think we could make a UK DVD page but it's not worth moving around and changing the names on the current ones. --[[User:The Merovingian\|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian\|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian\|E]])</sup> 07:39, 26 June 2006 (CDT)
			:The UK version is the same as the Aussie version which is why I suggested putting the regions in brackets instead of (UK) or (US version). The season 1 dvd page is a mess right now --[[User:Mercifull\|Mercifull]] 07:48, 26 June 2006 (CDT)

			===Neutral===

			== Archiving the Wikipedian Quorum ==

			I think this page could do with a little bit of archiving. Theres a lot of old stuff here thats not relevant anymore and It could do with being a bit smaller to enable more up to date conversations to take place. --[[User:Mercifull\|Mercifull]] 04:31, 26 June 2006 (CDT)

			== Featured Article and Featured Picture ==
			We should probably figure out what we want to do as far as identifying a [[BW:FA\|featured article]] and [[BW:FP\|featured picture]] for July(ish). The picture appears to have a clear favorite, but we could use some more candidates/debate/revision regarding an article. --[[User:Steelviper\|Steelviper]] 15:51, 6 July 2006 (CDT)

	:Thank you for that most gracious offer. I am curious, though - what HDTV format has those dimensons? As I understand it, HDTV should be in either 720x1280 or in 1080x1920. 960x540 appears to be a quarter the resolution of a 1080i image, and the 960x528 dimensions (20:11 aspect ratio?) are even more confusing. --[[User:~~Peter Farago~~\|~~Peter Farago~~]] 16:00, 15 April 2006 (CDT)		:Thank you for that most gracious offer.

	::As far as i'm aware the 960x528's are actually slightly cropped from 960x540 to produce the actual picture as the HDTV version still has black bands on it (only just). This is due to them being capped in Australia from 'Network 10'. The 960x540's are indeed 50% reduction in vertical and horizontal res from the 1920x1080i, but thanks to the way that 'UniversalHD' have broadcast them, there are no black bands to crop off. I still have to wait to see if anyone manages to pull off capping BSG from SkyOne HD when it starts broadcasting later this year, although judging from the amount of proprietary DRM crap they'll use, its unlikely.
