::I see it this way: Notes is for simple things that don't require any thought but are kind of interesting: "Pegasus doesn't retract flight pods", "Tyrol shaved his beard", etc. Analysis is for points that require more explication: "Kat was previously shown to be a driven pilot in "Final Cut", so it's unsurprising that she is so talented in "Scar" now that she's overcome her Stim addiction." Questions is for those remaining points which cannot be answered by the episodes aired to date.

::The key point about the questions section is that they ''should not have answers'' in the material aired up to the episode's release. Questions which are answered adequately should be redacted and moved to analysis. It should be our expectation that contributors will do this themselves, and not wait for a mop boy to do the gruntwork. Redaction is particularly excrutiating given the current server problems and the issue of edit collisions. --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] 21:50, 25 October 2006 (CDT)

::::I agree with Serenity. Obviously, things can probably be tightened when it comes to when a bullet point is and should be used. Probably best to define such things in the [[BW:SAC|standards and conventions]]. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 20:13, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

:I used the idea of collecting each line item into scenes and naming the scene location from scriptwriting practices.  The reason I liked the definition list is because the default formatting makes it a little easier on the eyes to separate the list items than from an unordered or ordered list.  The bullet points for some reason just made it all blend together.  Another possibility is to change the CSS for a definition list so that the "headword" appears inline with the definition.  *shrug*  Speaking of CSS, it seems like the image thumbnails need some padding around them.  The text hits right up against the image border (on Firefox using default skin).  --[[User:Tuzaa|Tuzaa]] 23:01, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

::From main.css: div.thumb {border:medium none;margin-bottom:0.5em;width:auto;}  Suggest adding margin:0.5em or margin-left:0.5em. --[[User:Tuzaa|Tuzaa]] 23:09, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
