That would be ideal (along with pictures, of course), but I am not sure if it is consistent with Fair Use. -- [[User:Graf Iblis|Graf Iblis]] 15:06, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

: Given that the content will not be available elsewhere (once Syfy takes down the site, it's basically gone), and that we're using it for reference, we need to have copies of the original articles to refer to. Therefore, it's more of a necessary evil that we have copies of the data, either as PDFs or what have ya. (Also, the data was technically promotional for the show, no different than posters, really.) Basically, same concept as having transcripts of RDM's BSG podcasts; they're freely available and promote the show, and so having another source for them isn't going to hurt anything.  -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 16:41, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

What about @SergeGraystone's tweets? A lot of them contain interesting information. -- [[User:Graf Iblis|Graf Iblis]] 18:12, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
:Yeah... I was going to ask about that too, but how often are Twitter accounts deleted/deactivated? I hardly use Twitter enough to call myself a Twat (or whatever Twittests call themselves) so I wouldn't know.--[[User:DrWho42|DrWho42]] 20:33, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Now that I'm looking at the article, it might be better to remove the date headings altogether and place all the articles into one huge table, with two additional columns showing the date/time of publication and the fictional date. The sorting function would become more useful that way (e.g. if someone wanted to see which journalist wrote the most articles). I might reorganize it like that at some point. -- [[User:Graf Iblis|Graf Iblis]] 17:59, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
: Sounds good. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 22:05, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
:: As per the comment by [[User:Graf Iblis|Graf Iblis]], I have removed the date headings and placed all the articles into one humungous table. Its available at [[User:CylonU87/Sandbox/The Caprican‎‎]]. Everyone, please take a look and comments are welcome. The idea was to make the table sortable by date, article types, authors, etc. -- [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] 09:38, 29 January 2012 (EST)
::: Looks good. I like it. Personally, I'd remove the notes by the headlines (or at least put them in reference tags).--[[User:DrWho42|DrWho42]] 00:14, 2 February 2012 (EST)
:::: Yeah, I was planning to remove those notes anyway. Just wanted to look at them in detail as to know why they are there in the first place. And for some reason the wiki table sorting hasn't worked very well. All the fields are being treated as alphanumeric, so when you sort by the date for example, it does not work. Any ideas on how to fix that. Otherwise it seems to be pointless to have one big huge table. Feel free to make changes, Don't hesitate because its under my userpage namespace. -- [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] 01:57, 2 February 2012 (EST)
