| | == Welcome to Battlestar Wiki! == |
| | |
| | Greetings, {{PAGENAME}}, and welcome to Battlestar Wiki! I'm pleased to tell you that you have full editing privileges on every wiki in the Battlestar Wiki network. I hope you enjoy your stay with us and am looking forward to your contributions to the Wiki! Why not begin by telling us a bit about yourself on your own [[User:{{PAGENAME}}|user page]]? |
| | |
| | As you may already know, Battlestar Wiki covers all the ''Battlestar Galactica'' series from past to present, in addition to authorized merchandise and [[BW:SEPCON|separate continuity]] materials such as comics and tie-in novels. '''We do not cover fan fiction.''' We're also not a discussion site, although we do have an ever-growing [http://www.battlestarforum.com Battlestar Forum] where people can discuss the various shows and non-BSG topics as well! |
| | |
| | To get started on the wiki, we suggest that you check out our [[BW:TUT|tutorial]], experiment in [[BW:SAND|the sandbox]] (a test editing area for those learning wiki code), and review some of our basic [[BW:POL|policies]] (which have important differences from other SF wikis). For some general questions and answers about the navigation and operation of the Wiki, check out the [[Battlestar Wiki:FAQ|Frequently Asked Questions]] (FAQ). |
| | |
| | Of course, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, you are more than welcome to bring them up at the [[BW:CN|Chiefs' noticeboard]] (which is frequented by the administrators of the Wiki) and at the [[BW:GQ|Galactipedians' Quorum]] (which is the hub for contributors, who are called "Galactipedians"). |
| | |
| | Furthermore, if you don't wish to see the ads, then please consider upgrading your account to a [[BW:MEMBERSHIP|paid membership]], which costs only $10 USD a year and helps support the wiki financially. This membership also extends to the [http://www.battlestarforum.com Battlestar Forum], where you can talk to other members about the show and most anything that you want to talk about to BSG fans! We think this is very cool, and we hope you do as well! |
| | |
| | Thank you for joining us! Hope to see you soon! -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 19:05, 22 July 2013 (EDT) |

| :::I will recreate my PPDIOO page, even more so, since I found, that PPDIOO is actually a _real_ network planning and improvement process defined by Cisco. This, especially with respect to the fact, that network intrusions were the reason for the colonial demise, is more than a mere "coincidence", no? - and of some relevance to the BSG continuum.--[[User:Determinant|Determinant]] 09:58, 8 August 2015 (EDT) | | :::I will recreate my PPDIOO page, even more so, since I found, that PPDIOO is actually a _real_ network planning and improvement process defined by Cisco.

| ::::Users can edit dead links going outside just as easily.
| |
|
| |
| ::::You may be conflating the real world PPIDOO and the one in "Razor"; if it was on screen so briefly, then you don't have clear evidence of what it did in the movie. In addition, your "coincidence" point is only speculation without evidence of some sort to back it up. Something as simple as a statement from somebody involved in the production would suffice. But the bigger point here is that because something exists in both the BSG world and in the real world doesn't mean it deserves an article here. If it did, then you could just as easily have individual articles on desks, food, parents, children, and so on--and these are things that have had clearer ''specific'' relevance to the stories, the characters, and/or their situations. In other words, I'm still not convinced.
| |
|
| |
| ::::However, I'll let it stay on the wiki if you do the following in the next couple of days: 1) provide a screen grab of PPIDOO from "Razor," and 2) bring the article up to standards for general proofreading (italics, capital letters, etc.) and for Battlestar Wiki style (proper episode/movie references, relevant links, etc.). There are many examples throughout the wiki that you can use. -- [[User:BlueResistance|BlueResistance]] 00:27, 10 August 2015 (EDT)

| :::::I did just that on page recreation ([[PPDIOO]]).
| |
| :::::'''Again''': I do not refer to red links (maybe with the exception of the red link ''present in the tutorial'' and also in the ''Terms of Service'' on the user registration form)!
| |
| :::::Instead, I am referring to
| |
| :::::* [[Help:Unified login|Unified login]] not working anymore, but still effectively preventing creation of a new login on e.g. media.battlestarwiki.org with the same credentials as on en.battlestarwiki.org
| |
| :::::* dead links from the site's frame, e.g.
| |
| :::::** FrakMedia! Network
| |
| :::::** mister-wong.com
| |
| :::::** BS Pegasus
| |
| :::::** BSG Forum
| |
| :::::** Wiki Frakr
| |
| :::::** Our Google+ Page
| |
| :::::* database and/or syntax errors in subdomains:
| |
| :::::** fr.battlestarwiki.org
| |
| :::::** zh.battlestarwiki.org
| |
| :::::** es.battlestarwiki.org
| |
| :::::** tr.battlestarwiki.org
| |
| :::::** simple.battlestarwiki.org
| |
| :::::** ms.battlestarwiki.org
| |
| :::::and so forth.
| |
| :::::Those topics should concern an administrator of a site, while assuming a "I am the one and only authorized to make content-related worthiness-decisions"-position should possibly not so much. Even on Wikipedia, and even on the German one, which is sometimes quite extreme in its stringency, administrators do not usually assume such an attitude. They especially do not just delete on their own authority.
| |
| :::::Besides: You seem mightily convinced of the completeness of the Wiki. Maybe you might want to take a look at my further updates in the last days. Even such obvious topics as the different serial number of Saul Tigh in different places in the continuum (especially at the start of series 4) were overlooked.--[[User:Determinant|Determinant]] 06:07, 10 August 2015 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| ::::::You ignored the other changes that I mentioned above--general proofreading (such as italicizing ship names) and Battlestar Wiki style (mainly giving a proper citation to the "Razor" movie). However, I apologize for missing the screen grab; I was expecting it to be in the page itself and not an external link.
| |
|
| |
| ::::::Besides telling you that I do not have access to the kinds of technical problems your cited, I am not sure how else to convince you. Also, if you read what I wrote earlier, you would see that I never claimed that the wiki was complete--I wrote quite the opposite, in fact.
| |
|
| |
| ::::::I am sorry that your view of the proper role of a wiki administrator is so different from mine, but I have been on this wiki as both a contributor and as an admin for much longer than you. Please make the rest of the necessary revisions to the PPIDOO page. You can ask me if you're not sure what needs to be done. -- [[User:BlueResistance|BlueResistance]] 00:22, 12 August 2015 (EDT)

| |
| :::::::@[[User:BlueResistance]]: Please at least ''try'' to reach one of the real administrators: The site en.battlestarwiki.org seems on the verge of going down as the other language versions already did. If the site is finally breaking/offline, all other content-related discussions would be of no significance whatsoever and the wealth of information lost.--[[User:Determinant|Determinant]] 05:43, 12 August 2015 (EDT)
