:Thanks! Hopefully I don't become so good at coming up with lists of things for others to work on that I forget to actually do some work myself. I think Joe actually had the idea for this project a while back.

:Do you think you might be able to recruit some of the skiffy's to take a look at some of these? They seem intimidated to deal with the canon stuff (judging by some of the posts about why they don't contribute), but maybe we can get their toes wet with some of the cast & crew info. After that they might see that they CAN contribute to the RDM stuff after all (knowing that the other Battle Wikipedians, like yourself, will be there to help them comply with necessary standards & conventions). --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 15:27, 28 March 2006 (CST)

== An Issue of Inclusion ==
Here's an issue I'm seeing when I'm viewing the articles on cast and crew... We have articles on actors and actresses who have only appeared once in the series, for instance [[Dana Delany]] who played [[Sesha Abinell]]. Question is, since we've never hased this out, do we follow Memory Alpha and have articles on every single cast and crew member credited for the series or do we establish criteria for inclusion depending on show appearances? If the latter, then what? Thoughts? -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 15:53, 8 September 2006 (CDT)
==Cast Bio question==
All of the cast biographies I have read, are worded like they have been created by the person's publicist. Is it really "Wiki" like to use the adjectives I see there?? They appear to not be the NPOV I am used to on other Wiki's [[User:N7bsn|N7bsn]] 11:59, 13 March 2007 (CDT)
:Hi N7bsn. The cast bios should be informative, but if you see language that appears not to be neutral, feel free to change it. Yes, we aren't as "anal" about certain levels of NPOV like [[w:Wikipedia|other wikis]] since we are a wiki that chronicles a fictitious work, but we do have NPOV requirements. Take a look at the likely greeting on your talk page for links that detail some of these policies. Many contributors may write bios that are derived from publicity bios, so that is the likely issue you are seeing. Keep in mind that we use last names in all articles by convention, never first names unless two or more people with the same last name is involved, per [[BW:SAC]]. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 12:37, 13 March 2007 (CDT)
