:I'm for creating a comic continuity for these, noting that the events are based on the RDM continuity but are of a different continuity. This prevents us from mixing what contradictions or "non-events" occur between the shows. Obviously if a major character of the past reappeared, our characters should have been gravely affected, but then, the TV continuity character may not. They have a place, but we need to make a distinction. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 13:36, 3 June 2006 (CDT) | :I'm for creating a comic continuity for these, noting that the events are based on the RDM continuity but are of a different continuity.

::So does this mean we would need separate pages for [[Zak Adama]] and [[Timeline (RDM)]] to include comics continuity information? Would separate sections within the main page be enough? --[[User: | ::So does this mean we would need separate pages for [[Zak Adama]] and [[Timeline (RDM)]] to include comics continuity information?

:::I think that making separate subsections in an article is a mistake, as is making a separate timeline. It's a comic book. STar trek has dozens and Memory Alpha does not include such info outside of the comic book article. We don't need to include them into our projects when their canonicity is dubious: we don't include info from the video game. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> | :::I think that making separate subsections in an article is a mistake, as is making a separate timeline.

::::We don't include (much) information from the Video Game because few people have contributed anything. Our purpose is to be an encyclopedia for all things BSG. I don't think it's our place to make quality distinctions here - we could argue against documenting Galactica 1980 on the same grounds. I say that as long as it has an official license, it's fair game. --[[User: | ::::We don't include (much) information from the Video Game because few people have contributed anything.

:::::Right. I'm just saying Galactica 1980 and RIC stuff don't get mixed. Current warning on top of this page seems adequate. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 21:06, 4 June 2006 (CDT) | :::::Right.

:Anyway, I only really bought the frakking thing for the artwork (which ain't that good, but has its moments) to see what the characters look like. So far they're just introducing main characters, so they haven't gotten to like Helo or Cally or Tyrol yet. I mean for a frakking quarter, the price was right. But it's not worth the gas money to go out and buy just that, think about it. Pick it up if you're buying a BSG Titanium Series toy or something (note: The Titanium Series Cylon Raiders stink; by the Gods, they're purple. Not Chrome, they made them purple. I'm not buying that.). --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 21:24, 27 June 2006 (CDT) | :Anyway, I only really bought the frakking thing for the artwork (which ain't that good, but has its moments) to see what the characters look like.

::At a quarter each, I got both covers. Having read through one of my copies, I can only agree with this judgement of its canonicity (and, for that matter, artwork). --[[User:CalculatinAvatar|CalculatinAvatar]]<sup>([[Special:Contributions/CalculatinAvatar|C]]-[[User talk:CalculatinAvatar|T]])</sup> 01:44, 28 June 2006 (CDT) | ::At a quarter each, I got both covers.
