Welcome to Battlestar Wiki!
Welcome to the Wiki, Sdfas. 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 (~~~~)!

- Thank you for your contribution. However we are an encyclopedia on Battlestar Galactica and not an encyclopedia or web guide to spam links. Refrain from adding any more spam or you will be banned per our policy. Thank you for your attention, should you have any questions please let me know. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 16:19, 1 October 2006 (CDT)
- Why is there any hesitation about the ban? I wouldn't bother with warnings in such a case. It wasn't just a case of not knowing the rules and posting one wrong link, but spam of the lowest order --Serenity 16:22, 1 October 2006 (CDT)
- Not really so much hesitation as wanting to test out something... To the admins, please don't ban this individual yet. Thanks. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 16:27, 1 October 2006 (CDT)
- I have insituted the perma-ban. I was waiting to see whether or not the user would come through and use this account again to further spam. If they had done so, I would be able to check whether or not they came from the same IP address. My hope is to find some sort of IP range I can block, so that they can't create accounts in the first place. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 00:22, 4 October 2006 (CDT)
