| Looks good. We should add how contributors can report a news item, and how administrators may handle it in terms of where, if any usage of it on the wiki, to avoid the issue we had with the season 4 rumor from Sackhoff and Olmos, too. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 10:11, 17 May 2007 (CDT) | | Looks good.

| :::Believe it or not, I DO have a news background. My bachelor's degree is in journalism and I've either been a part of the media, or on the darker side known as PR for all of my professional life. What, if anything, can I do to help on this project?--[[User:RUSnooky|RUSnooky]] 10:00, 8 June 2007 (CDT)

| == "Credit" ==
| |
| "Otherwise, you are encouraged to submit the tip on your own, without mentioning the wiki or your association with it."
| |
| :Totally. Unless you're conducting "wiki-business" under the "wiki-name", feel free to leave us out of it. That's not to downplay the value/significance of running across a juicy tidbit of information, just that that's not part of our core mission. There's always plenty of [[Battlestar_Wiki:Project_List|work]] to do without having to put on Clark Kent glasses (or whatever it is that journalists do). --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 10:23, 17 May 2007 (CDT)

| ::I added a section that asks contributors to relay any bits through admins first. We as admins should be conditioned not to make a knee-jerk post, determining whether to relay it to a news partner, make a note on our news topics, both or neither. I expanded the section on submitting news tips, remembering the incident involving Merv and his messages on Sciffy with Mrs. Ron and the fallout there. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 11:48, 17 May 2007 (CDT)

| == Representation ==
| |
|
| |
| Currently, the representation section says that no one except Joe may represent BSWiki anywhere.
| |
|
| |
| I once thanked the BtRL forums for including us in their links section, including a disclaimer in my post that said:
| |
| :Disclaimer: I do not own Battlestar Wiki. I am not even an administrator there. I am merely a sympathizer and contributor.
| |
| Perhaps I could've reworded this to something more like:
| |
| :Disclaimer: I am a contributor at Battlestar Wiki, nothing more. I do not represent the wiki in any way. All opinions voiced above are my opinions and mine only, and do not necessarily represent Battlestar Wiki's official standpoint.
| |
| Any thoughts? Maybe mention this in an official policy? --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 05:02, 18 May 2007 (CDT)
| |
|
| |
| : As long as there is a clearly worded disclaimer, I'm fine with that, unless someone has a reason for me not to be fine with it. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki — ''New'']</sup> 09:05, 7 June 2007 (CDT)
