| | == Welcome to Battlestar Wiki! == |
| | Welcome to the Wiki, DrWho42. Tell us about yourself on [[User:DrWho42|your user page]]. |

|
| == BSG on French Wikipedia ==
| | 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]]. |
|

|
| You're right. French Wikipedia is a good place for BSG. I shall link the articles. But first I'm trying to make the wiki work fine. I must import many templates, translate their code, their documentation, and their names within the pages which call them, and also update the real-content articles'names etc etc etc before adding real data. You can be sure I won't forget Wikipedia when everything is finished ;-). [[User:Alvine|alvine]] 23:26, 21 January 2009 (UTC)Alvine
| | 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. |

| ==Hello==
| | 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]]. |

| Thanks for the greetings. I have about 7000 edits at the English wikipedia site, but I happy to help here. Thanks [[User:Oldag07|Oldag07]] 16:52, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
| | Battlestar Wiki's [[Battlestar Wiki:Project List|many projects]] help improve our content. Are you a [[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. |

| == "No Exit" promotional images ==
| | 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]]. To sign your posts on any talk page, just enter four tildes (~<!---->~~<!---->~)! |

| I've recently been finding promo images from Caprica-City.de (a German site, but, no I don't speak the language). The very first images [http://www.caprica-city.de/index.php?seite=episodenguide&aktion=showfolge&ID=72 seen here] says it all. While I'm presenting the set, I thought I'd just point out that last image with Ellen Tigh. Fairly unusual for an episode set. --[[User:Mars|Mars]] 06:40, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

| == Nice Formatting ==

| | |
| I like the new style of the [[The Caprican]]! Hope we'll find a way to preserve the articles if Syfy should take down the blog at some point. -- [[User:Graf Iblis|Graf Iblis]] 04:08, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
| |
| :Thanks! I thought the article needed links back to The Caprican's news stories and reporter's names seemed important to me too. I think the articles should be still available via the [[w:Internet Archive|Internet Archive]] (I hope).--[[User:DrWho42|DrWho42]] 04:18, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

| == Thanks ==
| |
| Thank you for the comment on my personal page :) Got the four part comic and will be adding as much as I can. The concepts are quite interesting actually if a bit rushed. Will see about adding other entries from the comics to the wiki. Oh well, take care! -- [[User:Deimos|Deimos]] 16:56, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

| == Welcoming new users. ==
| |
| | |
| There is a high probability that all those new users you welcomed are human spammers or fully/semi automated spam bots. -- [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] 02:51, 1 February 2012 (EST)
| |
| : I can confirm as only the first or last letter of their userid change. Take a look:
| |
| :* '''Fdallasgordon'''y and '''Fdallasgordon'''v: sockpuppets
| |
| :* A'''stanjosephj''' and V'''stanjosephj''': sockpuppets
| |
| :I know we have to [[BW:AGF|assume good faith]], but those ones are obviously sockpuppets and potential spammers. For the others I have doubts, so I leave as this (''assuming good faith''). Let us wait and see ;-). --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 04:45, 1 February 2012 (EST)

| :: Congrats on banning them before me! I used to use [http://www.stopforumspam.com/ Stop Forum Spam] to confirm sockpuppets/potentital spammers on the Battlestar Forum, but I'm not sure if it's applicable to wikis.--[[User:DrWho42|DrWho42]] 20:33, 1 February 2012 (EST)

| | |
| ::: That's not a pride for me but a plague as we are wasting our time to eradicate those spammers. See in the [[md:Special:RecentChanges|Media Repository]] for yourself. They are clues to identify such users:
| |
| :::* Random letters at the first and/or last position
| |
| :::* Succession of numbers between first and last name
| |
| :::* A mix of both
| |
| :::* Random letters
| |
| ::: Some special users (like [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]]) have the CheckUser feature. But the [[BW:CHECK|policy]] restricts the use to particular cases. --[[User:LIMAFOX76|LIMAFOX76]] 02:43, 2 February 2012 (EST)

| Thanks for this bit of background info! - [[User:BlueResistance|BlueResistance]] 20:23, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

| :You're welcome! Just the first thought that entered my mind. I think we could always e-mail or message the writer for the episode for a confirmation.--[[User:DrWho42|DrWho42]] 16:39, 1 May 2012 (EDT)
