:The reason we don't add quotes is because it is already sperated and each character is identified at the begining of each line. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 08:06, 5 June 2006 (CDT)
::He's talking about the project name. "Battlestar Wiki:Quotes" vs "Battlestar Wiki:Quotations". "Quote" to mean a quotation is an [http://www.answers.com/quote&r=67 informal use of the word]. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 08:17, 5 June 2006 (CDT)
::"Quotes" is valid in the English dictionary --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] 09:14, 5 June 2006 (CDT)

== Season 3 Previews ==
This maybe a stretch, but would be proper to use quotes from the teaser and previews? Just an idea. Or save them for a lead up to the start of season. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 23:18, 28 July 2006 (CDT)
:Lead. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 11:55, 29 July 2006 (CDT)
== Stats ==
Are done. Sp we can see we need some diverity. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 11:55, 29 July 2006 (CDT)
== Moving Quotes ==
I have been thinking about moving some quotes from Oct., Nov. Dec into August and Sept preparing for the new season adding 3-4 quotes aweek. For me, it's because tedious to come up with good new  quotes. Thoughts? I'm really sleepy on hope this makes sense. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 20:51, 1 August 2006 (CDT)
== TOS Quotes ==
I have some TOS quotes I like but can't figure which episode. Can anyone help? Thanks, --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 20:53, 1 August 2006 (CDT)
:Yeah. If you post them, I can probably id the episode. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 08:02, 2 August 2006 (CDT)
== To Mix Up the Group ==
[http://mboard.scifi.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=1993674&page=0&fpart=1&vc=1 This thread] over a the SciFi boards is making me crack up. The reason I post it here is because some of our posts need some livelness, and what they done is put the characters situations from the show, and replaced them with other quotse from other TV shows/movies. I gotta tell ya, these are ''really'' funny, and a few of them I would not mind putting in.
<blockquote>Leoben: Youre in a camp surrounded by Cylons, a human form Cylon is right in front of you with a detonator in his hand. What do you do?<br/>
Chief: Pop quiz hotshot, I already took the batteries..
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
Cally: Chief, theres something we forgot to tell you<br/>
Chief: What?<br/>
Cally: Dont cross the beams<br/>
Chief: Why not?<br/>
Cally: Trust me, it would be bad!<br/>
Chief: What do you mean "bad"?<br/>
</blockquote>
"Speed" and "Ghostbusters" reference . Anyway, check it out. They are really funny. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 00:56, 1 September 2006 (CDT)
:My problem is that the quotes ''aren't'' actual BSG quotes from the show, but parody. Further, this is essentially a generation of BSG fan fiction, which really should be kept separate and shouldn't appear on the main page. I wouldn't mind a fan fiction article of the funniest ones, but we need to keep our canonical and noncanonical well separated; some people may use the quotes section as a legitimate dialog reference, and doing this would screw that up. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 18:04, 9 September 2006 (CDT)
:I'd have to agree. Perhaps if the quote was somehow tagged as a "silly quote" then it would pass? -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 18:06, 9 September 2006 (CDT)
::I agree to that. Each quote has scene assocated with it. I can't remmeber the current silly quote location, butthe TOP GUN, Spaceball , and The Ghostbuster quote (which has already shown) does have a scene associated with it even a mix of scenes. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 18:10, 9 September 2006 (CDT)
::I dislike the idea of posting such "quotes" even when tagged. I am dismayed that one snuck by; I remember reading it and noting that I'd missed a rather obvious reference. I am completely opposed to dignifying mock quotes by inclusion on the main page. The key justification for our silly content is its segregation. --[[User:CalculatinAvatar|CalculatinAvatar]]<sup>([[Special:Contributions/CalculatinAvatar|C]]-[[User talk:CalculatinAvatar|T]])</sup> 21:32, 9 September 2006 (CDT)
Yeah, these need to be (at the very least) separated from the real quotes just to avoid confusion. [[User:Philwelch|Philwelch]] 04:18, 10 September 2006 (CDT)
:Don't think that there was a consensus reach on this yet? --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 05:37, 10 September 2006 (CDT)
::I have been getting confused also by the parody quotes. I would prefer if we stuck to only real ones. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 10:05, 10 September 2006 (CDT)
::I recognized the source of a fake quote, but I got confused about why it's there. I thought maybe someone was just fooling around or doing a prank.
::At the very least they should be marked as parody, but I don't see the point of it on a Wiki. Such things belong on normal forums --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 11:56, 11 September 2006 (CDT)
::I would have to agree with everything said here against the silly quotes. I feel that we shouldn't be having parody or silly information on the main page of the Wiki. Having it on the user space, such as what [[User:Shane|Shane]] did to his user page, is fine. So say we all. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 12:06, 11 September 2006 (CDT)
== New year, Old quotes ==
The system doesn't distinguish between 2006 and 2007, so 2007 uses the same quotes as last year. That means there are hardly any free places for new additions. Should people just overwrite old quotes to add ones from brand new episodes? {{Unsigned|Serenity}}
:Abso-frakkin-lutely. If I see Adama's "we're at war" quote one more time I'm gonna fill my toaster with concrete and drop it in a lake. My feeling is that the quotes should distill themselves as time goes on to the funniest, most prophetic, or character-defining moments. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 09:26, 30 January 2007 (CST)
== Moving the subpages to the "Quotes:" namespace ==
Does anyone have any objection or comment with regard to moving the subpages (like [[Battlestar Wiki:Quotes/January]]) to the Quotes: namespace? The reason I ask is because this would make it easier for people to use the quotes namespace sidebar menu with the month/quotes pages. -- [[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> 22:13, 26 February 2008 (CST)
== Long quotes ==
I have notice several quotes that are too long like 3/15 or yesterday's. I feel that quotes should be short, pithy, without necessary explanations (like 3/8), and no more that 4 or 5 lines. What ya think? -- [[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 19:16, 8 March 2008 (CST)
:I don't really mind, as long as it's a good quote. There is some good stuff that's longer. 3/15 though can easily be shortened to just Baltar's little speech, since that's what it's about. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 20:02, 8 March 2008 (CST)
== New quotes needed ==
Much of the second half of March has quotes from ''[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]'' and Part II. Some of them sure need to be replaced so make your mark with a new quote from Season 3. -- [[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 19:21, 8 March 2008 (CST)
