:I have to go back and watch Hand of God but, I don't think Wilco is part of the phonetic alphabet. In radio transmissions it means "Will Comply" so you can see why it would be confusing to be used as a letter as well. --[[User:Talos|Talos]] 17:49, 23 September 2005 (EDT)

::Agree. The Hand of God writers clearly used the NATO phonetic alphabet. --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] 17:56, 23 September 2005 (EDT)

:::The alphabet probably has astronomical terms for some of the letters, Pulsar, Quasar, and Universe for example. --[[User:Talos|Talos]] 18:11, 23 September 2005 (EDT)

:::: Yeah. As I watched the rest of the episode, they used Wilco again and I was reminded of its normal usage. Thus I've removed it. I agree that Pulsar, Quasar and Universe are likely. I also bet they use Galaxy and maybe Star. However, I don't want to get into the business of pure speculation. --[[User:Day|Day]] 18:19, 23 September 2005 (EDT)

:::::I was thinking about Kilo. When the Tactical Officer gives the information on a new DRADIS contact he always uses the word "Kerim". I'm not sure about this and I have no way of backing this up, but it's possible K is Kerim. -- [[User:Venge|Venge]] 15:59, 4 May 2008 (EET)
::::::The term is "[[carom]]", not "kerim". -- [[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> 13:50, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Also, I think it would be really cool if we used the [[Wikipedia:International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]] in addition to an ad hoc guide, just to be as clear as possible. However, that's another issue, I think. --[[User:Day|Day]] 20:43, 10 October 2005 (EDT)

:We have Wikipedia's IPA template here, in case you want to use it. Joe imported it for me a while back.--[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] 21:41, 10 October 2005 (EDT)

I'm not sure we should list the unattested entries here, although a link to the NATO alphabet and the points on which terms are unlikely are useful. --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] 21:38, 10 October 2005 (EDT)
