	Good work on the cleanup. The early episode articles probably aren't up to our later standards, because a lot of the guidelines were just being developed then and people became more strict as time went on as far as informal or more subjective writing is concerned. We really should have done this before now.		Good work on the cleanup.

Joe Beaudoin Jr.: Welcome to Battlestar Wiki!

2007-09-01T00:23:05Z

Welcome to Battlestar Wiki!

New page

== Welcome to Battlestar Wiki! ==
Welcome to the Wiki, Perlmonger42. Tell us about yourself on [[User:Perlmonger42|your user page]]. We have a [[Template:User Data|template]] that lets you put some information about yourself in a nice-looking box.

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]].

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.

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]]. Battlestar Wiki does <u>'''not'''</u> allow [[fan fiction]] articles.

Battlestar Wiki's [[Battlestar Wiki:Project List|many projects]] help improve our content. Are you an [[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.

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]]. Please sign your posts on any talk page by simply entering four tildes (~~~~), which will be automatically replaced with your name and a time stamp.

Remember that talk pages are for questions about the article connected to that talk page, and [[BW:FORUM|aren't for long discussions about the show.]] To chat as much as you'd like about the show (or other topics), why not set up a free account on the [http://www.battlestarforum.com Battlestar Forum] bulletin board?

We look forward to your contributions to the Battlestar Wiki community!
