			:I understand your frustration as I once did the same mistake myself. But spoiler warnings won't help, because what you came to read would have been spoilers to someone that has only seen the miniseries. Even just the name of some of the characters are spoilers. The only proper solution I can think up is to somehow restict the wiki to only show revisions as they were at the original air date of the first episode each user has not seen, but even this is a lot of work for someone. In the end, I have concluded that in order to avoid spoilers (not including spoilers from those with inside information), one have to either see episodes when they were first shown, or stay away from all sites writing about said show. The latter might include all of Web 2.0, as spoilers might creep up in so called signatures and even nicknames. [[User:Caldumidoan\|Caldumidoan]] 10:15, 18 December 2011 (EST)

He has tattoos, befriended by Baltar (who was classist against Capricans), plotted murder on New Caprica, plotted a mutiny, smoked, and since Taurons all have dark hair and are "ethnic" looking (as in any country on the Mediterranean) he fits the look no doubt.

			== Spoilers, ugh ==

			I came across this Wiki so I could backtrack and make sure I understood who each of the BSG characters are before proceeding with the series. I'm only in the middle of season two and I've been going through the episodes rapidly. In this entry, it mentions that plot involves abandoning earth, while earth is still the goal from where I stand in the series. This is incredibly frustrating and I wish this Wiki had some sort of spoiler warnings or (like other sites) blacked out spoiler text to avoid accidentally revealing plot turns. It's one thing to post plot information on episode pages, but to post it on character pages is a bit unexpected.

			I guess I don't have any use coming back here, since I risk seeing spoilers on any page I visit and after I'm finished with the series I won't care about the information anymore :-\

			Thanks for listening.

The fact that he has wings 98% of the time, or the one or two scenes where he doesn't? If it's OK with everyone, I would like to add in the notes section the inference that Gaeta holds some sort of flight status-- even if it's just basic flight. I don't recall seeing Lt. Hoshi, Ens. Thornton or even Capt. Kelly have wings.[[User:AnteaterFeeder\|AnteaterFeeder]] 12:17, 26 January 2007 (CST)
	::::Yeah. He wears wings almost all the time, so it's likely that he's somewhat qualified. Probably just Raptors though. I wouldn't write that's he's a Viper pilot. The error is in the few cases where he doesn't wear them. And it's a bit fanwanky to write everything I said above, but just saying "Since he wears wings, Gaeta probably has had at least basic flight training" isn't. --[[User:Serenity\|Serenity]] 13:06, 26 January 2007 (CST)		::::Yeah.

	Now that Part 9 of Face of the Enemy reveals what Baltar whispered to Gaeta that got him stabbed with a pen, the Animosity Toward Baltar section (and the accompanying footnote) obviously needs to be updated. Since I haven't done much around here, I didn't want to just go in and mess with what was done previously without discussing it first. Should the footnote be deleted, or just amended? Was the podcast info a ruse, or have they just retconned the conversation to get rid of the dangling subplot? I don't know.

	: The original purpose of the scene was to implicate Gaeta in the murders of Sagittarons on New Caprica during the occupation. However, since that was jettisoned, the reason for its existence (at least from inside the story) remain nebulous. Now that the webisode has aired, we see why, and so that is now true canon. However, at the same time, we do need to note the original intent of the scene. -- [[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> 06:42, 8 January 2009 (UTC)		: The original purpose of the scene was to implicate Gaeta in the murders of Sagittarons on New Caprica during the occupation.

	Very, very (very) minor point... Looking at the name 'Gaeta', I always saw it as Latin-esque (whatever the Colonial equivalent of historical Latin would have been - 'Gaius' would be from the same culture, presumably). In Latin, the '-ae-' part would make the name 'GY-ta' rather than 'GAY-ta', and in the Miniseries that seems to be how it was pronounced. Is there some reason we know of why the pronunciation was changed? -- [[User:Sator\|Sator]] 15:02, 7 June 2008 (UTC)		Very, very (very) minor point...

	: "Gay-ta" is simply easier to pronounce; they had problems nailing down the pronunciation in the miniseries, where they vacillated between the two pronunciations. -- [[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> 15:05, 7 June 2008 (UTC)		: "Gay-ta" is simply easier to pronounce; they had problems nailing down the pronunciation in the miniseries, where they vacillated between the two pronunciations. -- [[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> 15:05, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
