== 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)
We look forward to your contributions to the community!

== Nice Formatting ==
==Battlesev Galaxative==
Hi. I have deleted your article on Battlesev Galaxative as is is against the policty of the wiki re linking. See [[Battlestar Wiki:What Battlestar Wiki is not]]. "IS NOT a repository of Web links. We are not Google or the IMDB, although we do link to them from time to time. Yes, we do have links to other websites, but they are normally related to a topic covered by this Wiki". I have moved your link to the webcomic to the Fan sites page so the link still exists but there is no dedicated page for it. If you have any questions please leave a message on my talk page. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 03:24, 18 April 2007 (CDT)


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)
== Categories ==
: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 ==
You don't need to add the categories manually. When you set <code>gender=male</code> and <code>countrycode=US</code> in your {{tl|User Data}}, they'll appear automatically. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 03:44, 3 May 2007 (CDT)
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. ==
== Move ==
Joe gave you move privileges, so you should see the move button above pages now. In case, you know, you need to move stuff. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 12:47, 22 May 2007 (CDT)


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)
==Pat Adrien Dorval Revert Move==
: I can confirm as only the first or last letter of their userid change. Take a look:
While the imdb credits him as Adrien Dorval, in the credits of Battlestar Galactica he has been referred to by his full name Pat Adrien Dorval. Official sources override the imdb. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 13:27, 22 May 2007 (CDT)

::No problem :) --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 13:33, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
: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)
== Whoa, Cowboy! ==


::: 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:
Hey there! That [[List of Former Star Trek Cast and Crew]] article is pretty darn detailed, but the [[BW:CON|Concision Fairy]] thinks it would be best not to list ''every single thing'' that many of the prolific cast and crew have done for that show. It makes reading the article very difficult, and, as you know, there's [[memoryalpha:Main Page|another wiki]] for that sort of thing, so the article has gone off from Battlestar Wiki's need-to-know. The Fairy truncated Ron Moore's and Michael Taylor's entries, but the article could be shorter, or maybe, cite more of their most popular work that illustrates each writer or director's quality work. I convinced the Fairy not to bring out the double-bladed tree ax, asking her to wait until you or others made the finer concision so the article maintains its quality (the Fairy is not a neat fairy -- she's watched too many episodes of ''The Sopranos'' and enjoys all that whacking.). :) --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 11:18, 15 July 2007 (CDT)

: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)
