			== Past versus present tense. ==

			Yesterday I overhauled the "Fall of the Scorpion Shipyards" page and when I visited the page today I found that it had been converted to present tense. I'm pretty sure that an encyclopedia is ''always'' supposed to use past tense, but I don't want to change anything and then find that the whole article has been re-converted to present tense. I really don't want to sound uptight but I think that we should enforce academic standards like they do over at Memory Alpha (i.e. always use past tense). {{unsigned\|Helo87}}
			:We do things a bit differently here. See the relevant section of [[BW:SAC]]. In general we use present tense for everything but events prior to the Miniseries. "Razor" is somewhat of an exception to this. Though the events take place concurrently, until now we used past tense for them, as they were only told second hand. Now that we've seen them on screen, that doesn't make much sense anymore.
			:I know that MA does it differently, but personally it seems to odd to me now. I also don't care for their "pretend historian" approach. They even use the past tense for things that take place in the "present" of the story; like for people aren't dead yet. This isn't a real encyclopedia. Using past tense to document fictional events seems odd somehow. In reviewing things I often use present tense for books that are written in the past tense, though I find myself alternating in tenses now and then. --[[User:Serenity\|Serenity]] 02:02, 8 November 2007 (CST)
			::To add my two cents here, we are documenting a fictional series here, not real history. My personal feeling is that the present tense tends to draw in the reader much more than the past tense, it makes the experience much more visceral. Not to mention the fact that it also directly mirrors how events are shown in the series, with the exception of the "Razor" stuff. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.\|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.\|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support\|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki — ''New'']</sup> 02:08, 8 November 2007 (CST)
			:::After using present-tense for the past few days I have become much more tolerant of it. I think that past-tense will always sound more poignant, but I realize that present-tense is much more useful/exciting in the context of this wiki. Now I wouldn't be able to imagine any of the battle pages without it! --Helo87

			== We use it, we don't use it... ==

			Sorry for my rapid change of mind regarding the production-readiness of [[Template:Podcast Data]]. After thinking about it for a minute, I concluded that the template is actually pretty production-ready. We shouldn't add it to each and every podcast page just yet, though, as we might wanna call a vote on it first. I'll add it to [[Podcast:Frak Party Q and A]] as a special podcast showcase. --[[User:Catrope\|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope\|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope\|e-mail me]])</sup> 08:12, 28 September 2007 (CDT)
			:No problem. Though I don't see the need for a formal vote really, as it will likely pass easily. Maybe a section on the talk page asking for some final comments and opinions before implementation. --[[User:Serenity\|Serenity]] 09:08, 28 September 2007 (CDT)

			:I didn't think about then, but just noticed it in my Firefox spell checker and "corrected" it :) Thinking about it, I know that it's not wrong, but we still prefer AE here. And I knew about "recognize/recognise", but didn't realize that "sceptical" is BE. That really looked wrong to me. --[[User:Serenity\|Serenity]] 06:39, 10 September 2007 (CDT)
			::Hmm, somehow 'sceptical' looks more logical to me than 'skeptical', but I guess that's because I'm Dutch and Serenity's German (many Dutch k's were changed to c's in the 1995 spelling revision). --[[User:Catrope\|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope\|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope\|e-mail me]])</sup> 08:47, 10 September 2007 (CDT)
			:::Probably. It's written with 'k' here. Mhhh...I can actually see both, but languages don't make that much sense sometimes. German, English and Dutch all have common roots, but a lot of the details changed over the centuries. Anyways, this was just a result of me having an AE spell checker installed. I didn't edit the article because I noticed the "typos", but because of the series titles and while doing that I noticed the spell checker marking two words. Then I just wrote "typos" in the edit summary. --[[User:Serenity\|Serenity]] 08:59, 10 September 2007 (CDT)

			== Past versus present tense. ==

			Yesterday I overhauled the "Fall of the Scorpion Shipyards" page and when I visited the page today I found that it had been converted to present tense. I'm pretty sure that an encyclopedia is ''always'' supposed to use past tense, but I don't want to change anything and then find that the whole article has been re-converted to present tense. I really don't want to sound uptight but I think that we should enforce academic standards like they do over at Memory Alpha (i.e. always use past tense). {{unsigned\|Helo87}}
			:We do things a bit differently here. See the relevant section of [[BW:SAC]]. In general we use present tense for everything but events prior to the Miniseries. "Razor" is somewhat of an exception to this. Though the events take place concurrently, until now we used past tense for them, as they were only told second hand. Now that we've seen them on screen, that doesn't make much sense anymore.
			:I know that MA does it differently, but personally it seems to odd to me now. I also don't care for their "pretend historian" approach. They even use the past tense for things that take place in the "present" of the story; like for people aren't dead yet. This isn't a real encyclopedia. Using past tense to document fictional events seems odd somehow. In reviewing things I often use present tense for books that are written in the past tense, though I find myself alternating in tenses now and then. --[[User:Serenity\|Serenity]] 02:02, 8 November 2007 (CST)
			::To add my two cents here, we are documenting a fictional series here, not real history. My personal feeling is that the present tense tends to draw in the reader much more than the past tense, it makes the experience much more visceral. Not to mention the fact that it also directly mirrors how events are shown in the series, with the exception of the "Razor" stuff. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.\|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.\|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support\|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki — ''New'']</sup> 02:08, 8 November 2007 (CST)
			:::After using present-tense for the past few days I have become much more tolerant of it. I think that past-tense will always sound more poignant, but I realize that present-tense is much more useful/exciting in the context of this wiki. Now I wouldn't be able to imagine any of the battle pages without it! --Helo87

			== We use it, we don't use it... ==

			Sorry for my rapid change of mind regarding the production-readiness of [[Template:Podcast Data]]. After thinking about it for a minute, I concluded that the template is actually pretty production-ready. We shouldn't add it to each and every podcast page just yet, though, as we might wanna call a vote on it first. I'll add it to [[Podcast:Frak Party Q and A]] as a special podcast showcase. --[[User:Catrope\|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope\|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope\|e-mail me]])</sup> 08:12, 28 September 2007 (CDT)
			:No problem. Though I don't see the need for a formal vote really, as it will likely pass easily. Maybe a section on the talk page asking for some final comments and opinions before implementation. --[[User:Serenity\|Serenity]] 09:08, 28 September 2007 (CDT)

			:I didn't think about then, but just noticed it in my Firefox spell checker and "corrected" it :) Thinking about it, I know that it's not wrong, but we still prefer AE here. And I knew about "recognize/recognise", but didn't realize that "sceptical" is BE. That really looked wrong to me. --[[User:Serenity\|Serenity]] 06:39, 10 September 2007 (CDT)
			::Hmm, somehow 'sceptical' looks more logical to me than 'skeptical', but I guess that's because I'm Dutch and Serenity's German (many Dutch k's were changed to c's in the 1995 spelling revision). --[[User:Catrope\|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope\|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope\|e-mail me]])</sup> 08:47, 10 September 2007 (CDT)
			:::Probably. It's written with 'k' here. Mhhh...I can actually see both, but languages don't make that much sense sometimes. German, English and Dutch all have common roots, but a lot of the details changed over the centuries. Anyways, this was just a result of me having an AE spell checker installed. I didn't edit the article because I noticed the "typos", but because of the series titles and while doing that I noticed the spell checker marking two words. Then I just wrote "typos" in the edit summary. --[[User:Serenity\|Serenity]] 08:59, 10 September 2007 (CDT)
