Well I agree in general but could you point out specifically what you'd like to standardize? For example, I mean like pick one episode article in particular and say what about it should be standardized but more importantly ''how''. | |||
I myself was going to propose something like "standardize the Analysis sections", but I think that would fall under this: '''Our Analysis sections are in great need of standardization, but I was reluctant to change them myself for fear of ruffling feathers'''.----------------->Case in point, the Analysis for "[[Colonial Day]]" is...incredibly POV: this isn't a blog where we're writing an "episode review" in the Analysis section, Analysis is more for theorizing and pointing out trends. I mean yes like in Black Market we can point out "this episode has a lot of problems", but I think I tried to keep it to a minumum in there. ----->With everyone I've ever seen Colonial Day with at DVD parties and such, or on BSG messageboards, Colonial Day ranks as one of the favorites of Season 1. By the late season they really got good at scripting for the characters. But the analysis section of Colonial Day says right on the front line flatly that "This is the most poorly-conceived and executed episode in BSG's first season". It's POV for *me* to say I like it, but I still think that objectively, yes it had a good script I've already marked it for cleanup. | I myself was going to propose something like "standardize the Analysis sections", but I think that would fall under this: '''Our Analysis sections are in great need of standardization, but I was reluctant to change them myself for fear of ruffling feathers'''.----------------->Case in point, the Analysis for "[[Colonial Day]]" is...incredibly POV: this isn't a blog where we're writing an "episode review" in the Analysis section, Analysis is more for theorizing and pointing out trends.

:What really started me on this is that the first season episodes have the summary from Sci-Fi channel (which should I think should be in the episode article until it is aired). Those kind of things. Also, going back through "Questions" is probably a good idea. At least make the articles all "look" the same. However, you are correct about the "Analysis" section. I think that it is a fine line between "Analysis" and "Speculation" (which I personally unintentionally drift toward). We can add "Analysis" specifically to this project if you wish or it can be done as a followup. Do you have a particular article that you think the "Analysis" is a good example of "how-to"? I just think that if we have an "example" article, it would save on some discussions on individual articles. I made the proposal "thin" so others can add ideas to it. This is not "my" project, but something I am proposing from "us" to do. Also, I too have been thinking about how to rewrite the [[Colonial Day]] analysis which is clearly biased. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 13:18, 9 July 2006 (CDT) | :What really started me on this is that the first season episodes have the summary from Sci-Fi channel (which should I think should be in the episode article until it is aired).

Is the Think Tank really the best place for this? [[BW:SC]] is where we usually deal with standardization issues. --[[User: | Is the Think Tank really the best place for this?

::::(Turning on my mind reading cap.) I got the impression he had more thoughts/organization/structure that he was working on and planning to present here. I guess 26 hours seemed like a nice round number. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 14:55, 17 July 2006 (CDT) | ::::(Turning on my mind reading cap.)
