== Welcome to Battlestar Wiki! ==
Welcome to the Wiki, Chet. Tell us about yourself on [[User:Chet|your user page]]. We have a [[Template:User Data|template]] that lets you put some information about yourself in a nice-looking box.

Battlestar Wiki is an encyclopedia on '''officially-licensed stories, aired episodes, and other products of the ''Battlestar'' universes.''' Make sure that your contributions fit [[Battlestar Wiki:What is Battlestar Wiki|Battlestar Wiki's purpose]], avoiding [[BW:NOT|what we aren't]].

Our [[BW:SAC|editing standards and conventions policies]] may differ from other wikis, especially in verb tense and voice, capitalization and the like. '''Please read this policy.''' We have [[BW:TUT|an editing tutorial]] and [[BW:MARK|wiki markup codes]] to help you.

Our policies on [[w:Original research|original research]] differ from places such as Wikipedia. We allow [[BW:CJ#Derived Content|some research based on aired episode content]], but don't allow [[BW:FANW|speculation that isn't supported from episode events]].

Battlestar Wiki's [[Battlestar Wiki:Project List|many projects]] help improve our content. Are you an [[Original Series]] fan? Help out in the [[Battlestar Wiki:Original Series Article Development Project|Original Series Article Project]]. [[Battlestar Wiki:Translation Project|Non-English versions of Battlestar Wiki]] also need contributors, and helpers for our [[BW:POD|podcast transcriptions]] are also welcome. New projects should be brought to our [[BW:TANK|Think Tank]], where we hash out large-scale ideas before implementing them.

Any questions about an article can be entered on the article's talk page. General questions about the wiki can be brought to [[Battlestar Wiki:Wikipedian Quorum|the Quorum]] or [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard|the administrators' noticeboard]].

We look forward to your contributions to the community!

== About your first new article ==

Hi, Chet, and welcome to Battlestar Wiki. Unfortunately, your first contribution, the article "Second Variety", will need to be deleted. Battlestar Wiki is an encyclopedia that, unlike Wikipedia, contains articles specific to the ''Battlestar'' universe only--we're not a general encyclopedia. While we do note, contrast and compare ''Battlestar'' stories with other works of fiction (and Dick's stories do have a significant ring), such information doesn't merit an article in itself. The relevant note on the Cylon's betrayal and its contrast to ''Second Variety'' is a good one that can be incorporated into the [[Cylon History]] article. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 08:02, 6 June 2007 (CDT)
:To clarify my actions, I removed the addition from [[Cylons (RDM)]], because that's only meant as a small portal to introduce the Cylons. There are a couple of other articles that go into more detail, and as said [[Cylon History]] is a better place to note that. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 10:22, 6 June 2007 (CDT)

Thanks for the direction! I have updated the notes on [[Cylon History]]  since that seems to be the best place for this contribution. {{unsigned|Chet}}
