== Rollback Note ==

Hi, Mars. I rolled back your last edit to [[Propulsion in the Re-imagined Series]] as it was unnecessary. To save a few characters in typing (and to keep articles from growing over time), you can use <nowiki>[[Re-imagined Series]] or [[Original Series]]</nowiki> for links that are always redirected to the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)]] and [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)]] articles, respectively. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 09:06, 12 October 2006 (CDT)

== News update ==
In the future, if you ever need to update the news you need only click on the little icon in the news header which will take you [[Battlestar_Wiki:News|here]]. You can edit the news items there. Also, in the future you can ask questions in the [[Battlestar Wiki:Wikipedian Quorum|Quorum]] or at the [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard|admin noticeboard]]. Or you can hit somebody's talk page. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 12:50, 28 November 2006 (CST)

== Image ==

That was a frak-up on my part. Seems I uploaded the wrong image when changing the low-res stuff to DVD screenshots. They are supposed to be different. I'll revert it and upload a new one. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 20:11, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

== No Exit promotional image ==

Hey, what promotional image do you refer to that says [[John Hodgman]] appears in the episode "[[No Exit]]"?--[[User:DrWho42|DrWho42]] 18:36, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

== Move permissions ==

Mars, 

I've given you move permissions, which will allow you to make the necessary corrections you see fit when it comes to issues like [[Alessandra Toressani]]'s article. Message me if you have any questions, comments, or concerns! -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 16:54, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

== Spoiler text removal ==

I would go cautious myself and wait 'til the January 4 broadcast. Some people don't buy the DVD, the DVD set only just came out, and it's not a long wait to hold off for the broadcast. The broadcast is at a set time, whereas people could obtain the DVD anytime in the near future and don't have to watch all the unaired episodes at once. They may not have seen all (or any, if they're about to start them or start with the aired episodes in the set), and then come to this wiki. 

BTW, can't put the spoiler text back myself as I haven't seen the unaired episodes (please don't mention details of them to me). I just knew you had removed it because I saw your summary in Recentchanges. -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 04:30, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

:On the other hand, there are precedents for putting new information onto the wiki ''without'' spoiler covers after a DVD release but before broadcast--''The Plan'' (about three months before broadcast) and the ''Caprica'' pilot (nine months before broadcast).  -- [[User:BlueResistance|BlueResistance]] 21:05, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

::But it wasn't known when those would be broadcast when they came out on DVD, so they were less likely to have people waiting for the broadcast (and weren't overpriced, containing multiple episodes including aired ones, and on the heels of an acrimonious cancellation), and it turned out to be longer gaps than in this case. Someone could be planning to DVR the episodes to contribute to the ratings (though buying the DVDs also figures) and/or figuring they don't need to bother buying the DVD with the broadcast so close. The Plan and the Caprica pilot cases feel more like the DVD was the proper debut than this does. -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 01:30, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
