Interesting concept. We would probably need a master list of birthdays though, probably under Battlestar Wiki:User Birthdays, and we should probably ad a birthday field to the user data template. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 12:51, 4 September 2006 (CDT)
- Can be done. :) Didn't think of that... --Shane (T - C - E) 13:18, 4 September 2006 (CDT)
- Any further thoughts, concerns or issues before I move this to the votiing stage? -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 02:13, 15 September 2006 (CDT)
- Not really, would be useful to have some kind of birthdays page though or if you put it in your userpage in the usertemplate somehow a bot picks that up automaticly? --Mercifull (Talk/Contribs) 03:06, 15 September 2006 (CDT)
- Other than making it a way for everyone to be grouped into Month categories. Or we can just do one big "events" calander like.. Wikipedia:September 15 in a much more smaller scale. --Shane (T - C - E) 04:40, 15 September 2006 (CDT)

Neutral It's in the talk namespace, so it's not hurting anything as long as the quotes stay within Battlestar Galactica and, well, real. I just don't think such a thing needs an independent policy; anyone who cares about the quote for their birthday can just edit it. --CalculatinAvatar(C-T) 06:28, 29 September 2006 (CDT) - Day -

Oppose - But I would not object to a more discrete birthday announcement near the bottom of the main portal. - Spencerian - Oppose - I don't like the idea of mixing up the quotes area with non-BSG stuff. But, like Peter, I'd be very cool with a birthday list that displays on a section of the main page (users can add themselves in the list by option).
