Welcome to Battlestar Wiki![edit]
Welcome to the Wiki, Kevingianotto. Feel free to tell us about yourself on your user page. Before you get started on other edits, please read the Standards and Conventions, which details the policies we use in editing pages (this differs from many other wikis in its particular use of verb tense, abbreviations, formatting, and the like). If you need help in learning how to use the MediaWiki tools supported here, you can check out the tutorial and the wiki markup code pages for assistance.
Please read the articles "What is Battlestar Wiki" and "What Battlestar Wiki is Not." This important information details what contributions are acceptable in this encyclopedia.
We encourage you to participate in any projects on Battlestar Wiki, which work to enhance a particular subject or extension of the wiki. These include the Original Series Article Development Project and several language translations of Battlestar Wiki. If you have a new idea for a new project, visit the Think Tank, where we hash out large-scale ideas before implementing them.
Also, if you have any questions or suggestions you wish to offer, please feel free to do so either on an article's talk page that's relevant to the subject, the Wikipedian Quorum or the Administrators' noticeboard. Remember to sign your posts on any talk pages using four tildes (~~~~)!
We look forward to your contributions to the community! --Mercifull (Talk/Contribs) 13:32, 10 October 2006 (CDT)
Verb Tense[edit]
Greetings. I appreciate your work at the New Caprica article, but I must point out that the wiki has standardized on the use of the present tense. Please see Standards & Conventions for more information. --April Arcus 17:06, 29 October 2006 (CST)
- I should also encourage you to be wary of overlinking - generally speaking, a term needs to be linked only once per page-worth of text. --April Arcus 17:14, 29 October 2006 (CST)
- Agreed on the links. I removed most of them and it's much more readable now IMO.
- Two more things: 1.) Don't capitalize the verb "jump" 2.) Ship names without articles are usually better. "Galactica jumps away" instead "The Galactica jumps away" --Serenity 17:51, 29 October 2006 (CST)
