No. Ron Moore & Co. ''know'' about this thing and we're starting up the Second Awards; we just started this week, and our placeholder [http://goldentoasterawards.hangardeck5.com/ website for the 2nd awards is up here]. More news to follow. Please leave it as it is for now. Plus, quite possibly the entire online community is involved and it really ''is'' an "awards show", just one held online.--[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 14:28, 24 March 2006 (CST) | No. Ron Moore & Co.

:I don't mind having fandom topics discussed here, as long as there's no ambiguity between what's canonical and what's fan-related - and this article is pretty clear. --[[User: | :I don't mind having fandom topics discussed here, as long as there's no ambiguity between what's canonical and what's fan-related - and this article is pretty clear. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 16:30, 24 March 2006 (CST) | ||

::: Perhaps some kind of template for the header, much like the current neutrality one, but specifically for fan related articles. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] 11:06, 7 April 2006 (CDT) | ::: Perhaps some kind of template for the header, much like the current neutrality one, but specifically for fan related articles. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] 11:06, 7 April 2006 (CDT) | ||
::::Not a bad idea there: casual users don't always notice the categories on the ''bottom'' of an article; having a tag in "nice big shiny letters" (haha) having another tag that says something's related to the fanbase would be okay. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 14:01, 7 April 2006 (CDT) | ::::Not a bad idea there: casual users don't always notice the categories on the ''bottom'' of an article; having a tag in "nice big shiny letters" (haha) having another tag that says something's related to the fanbase would be okay. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 14:01, 7 April 2006 (CDT) | ||
:::There is no reason for anyone on the show not to accept fan awards, and every cast member who has been told about it has been gracious and grateful, naturally. I don't see any reason to exclude this. It is a fact that these ceremonies take place with a lot of fan participation and it is a fact that these awards are given, and it is a fact that the cast and crew are notified where possible, and respond. At Galactica Actual they posted few responses from the recipients and I'm sure that this will happen again. If there is some reason why this one of the most formal interactions between the fans and the cast/crew should be treated as if it is a matter of opinion or it never happened, I can't imagine what that reason might be.--[[User:Dogger|Dogger]] 14:25, 7 April 2006 (CDT) | :::There is no reason for anyone on the show not to accept fan awards, and every cast member who has been told about it has been gracious and grateful, naturally.

::::I agree with Dogger. These awards were a pretty big deal last year, with a lot of participation from across fandom and some wonderful validation from the cast and crew. They may not be some industry-sanctioned award, but they are well-organized and well-taken by the creators of the show. And, as a newbie around here, I'd prefer the article stay somewhere obvious, where I can find it. I can't possibly be the only one... -- [[User:Sabaceanbabe|Sabaceanbabe]] 15:05, 7 April 2006 (CDT) | ::::I agree with Dogger.

:::Based on what MrsRon has told us, these awards are as real to RDM as any other award so I think that presenting the information in article format is appropriate. --[[User:AerynSun44|AerynSun44]] 15:51, 7 April 2006 (CDT) | :::Based on what MrsRon has told us, these awards are as real to RDM as any other award so I think that presenting the information in article format is appropriate. --[[User:AerynSun44|AerynSun44]] 15:51, 7 April 2006 (CDT) | ||
