| Since the history files have the GFDL Wikipedia version, I am probably going to have to delete the whole history of this article. Therefore, once the rewrite is done, I'll delete the page and move the Cylons (TOS)/rewrite to the Cylons (TOS) namespace. Just FYI. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] 11:47, 14 February 2006 (EST)

| :Yeah, that was my bad. I'll mop up and clean the kitchen as penance when the rewrite is done. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 13:32, 14 February 2006 (EST)

| ::Should we worry about other pages that held copyright violations in the past? --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] 19:01, 14 February 2006 (EST)

| :::We might as well. Other than the [[Lorne Greene]] page, I don't know of any others. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] 19:09, 14 February 2006 (EST)

| ::::I was thinking of [http://www.battlestarwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Basestar_%28TOS%29&oldid=16837 Basestar (TOS)]. --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] 13:09, 17 February 2006 (EST)
| |
| :::::Wow. A lot of the info about the armament, Raider capacity, etc, comes from [[The Hand of God (TOS)]]. I'll have to pull that episode up and incorporate some of the info from Tigh's briefing into the basestar article. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 13:19, 17 February 2006 (EST)

| This article had a mismatch (from an encyclopedic POV) of data that inappropriately contrasted itself to the RDM world. I removed it just to keep the topic on-topic. There are plenty of cross reference links here for others who are interested in the RDM world. It shouldn't be a requirement for readers to know of (or care about) the RDM world in TOS topics unless marked to the end of the article for trivia (as with the new [[Pegasus (RDM)]] design and the old battlestars), when a common term is used in both series (such as [[tylium]]), or when disambiguation is needed at the start of the article (such as [[Baltar (TOS)]]).

| I was also very confused with the additions that implied that ''all'' Cylons were now robotic. Rather than ask for a source for this, I removed it and reset the Imperious Leader info to being a reptilian, as I believed that all original Cylons were these beings, not robots. If someone wants to readd it, a source is needed. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 13:04, 6 June 2006 (CDT)

| :Aren't they all robotic? "The machines took over and exterminated the reptiles thousands of yahrens ago, but they still call them Cylons." (paraphrased from [[Saga of a Star World]]). The fact that the voice of the imperious leader exactly matched [[Count Iblis]] was another "clue" mentioned in War of the Gods that tied Iblis to the original robotic revolution (and makes it more likely that a living reptile wouldn't have a voice identical to the "evil being of light thing"). --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 13:33, 6 June 2006 (CDT)
