| == Capitalization for "[[Marines]]" ==
| |
|
| |
| Just wondering, before I make changes... In order to make the articles in this Wiki consistent with each other, when is the word 'marine' suppose to be capitalized and vice versa? Many articles capitalize the word in sentences. i.e. "...escorted by Marines". Others do not. Which is proper?--[[User:Veepz|Veepz]] 15:35, 22 July 2007 (CDT)
| |
| : Marines is typically capitalized, as far as I know, since it's more or less a proper name. -- [[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> 15:37, 22 July 2007 (CDT)

| == On RFA voting ==
| |
|
| |
| To clarify Joe's comment in case it was confusing, anyone with a user account 30 days and older can vote. For you, that time is July 30, one month after your account creation. In future RFAs, you can vote immediately. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 00:41, 24 July 2007 (CDT)
| |
| :Noted, thanks Spence. --[[User:Veepz|Veepz]] 07:08, 24 July 2007 (CDT)

| == Note on capitalization (maybe it's just me) ==
| |
|
| |
| Not sure how others feel about this. We use "Re-imagined Series" as proper noun, and that's correct. However, when you say "re-imagined ''Battlestar Galactica''", you use it as adjective. In that case it should stay lowercase IMHO. Though I see that it appears somewhat inconsistent and nitpicky. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 16:16, 24 July 2007 (CDT)
| |
| :My first goal for this wiki was to make it more consistent, the 'little' things. I guess because they stand out to me when I read. Sorry if I'm doing things incorrectly, and thank you for pointing them out. I've always thought "Re-imagined Series" should be capitlized per [[BW:SAC#Disambiguation|BW:SAC]](doesn't it look neater too? :P that's irrelevant anyway), but I do see where you're coming from. I will go back and revise if no other opinions are expressed. -- [[User:Veepz|Veepz]] 19:44, 24 July 2007 (CDT)
| |
| ::And "Re-imagined Series" is correct. It's just "Re-imagined ''Battlestar Galactica''" that's the issue here. :) --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 05:37, 25 July 2007 (CDT)
| |
| :I have to agree with Serenity; the issue with "Re-imagined Series" is that it's basically a proper noun for "re-imagined ''Battlestar Galactica''", thus the "re-imagined" before ''Battlestar Galactica'' should never be capitalized. -- [[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> 19:53, 24 July 2007 (CDT)
| |
| ::Okay! That takes care of that. :-) -- [[User:Veepz|Veepz]] 19:57, 24 July 2007 (CDT)
| |
| ::How about [[The Cylons' Secret|here]]? If "Re-imagined" comes after "''Battlestar Galactica''", as "''Battlestar Galactica'' Re-imagined Series" -- [[User:Veepz|Veepz]] 20:09, 24 July 2007 (CDT)
| |
| :::That looks grammatically weird. The purpose of having "Re-imagined Series" is to ''avoid'' having to type in "Battlestar Galactica" all the time, as well as being a way to differentiate from the Original Series (which follows the same rule). Since we ''are'' a wiki on ''Battlestar'', typing the title is a bit redundant and confusing, so I'd recommend using only "Re-imagined Series" or "Original Series" in most cases. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 02:08, 25 July 2007 (CDT)

| == Curiosity ==
| |
|
| |
| I'm quite curious. What is the purpose of '''&#39;s'''<s>(see the edit box)</s>? Is it something more than just apostrophe S... Or not? -- [[User:Veepz|Veepz]] 15:41, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
| |
| :Exactly where in the edit box do you see that? Anyway, it's probably to prevent the single quote from being seen as part of wiki markup (as in <nowiki>''Galactica'''s</nowiki>, which sometimes gives problems). --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 16:01, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
| |
| :: I'm talking about & # 39 ;s, ''without'' the spaces. If you look at, for example, [[Noel Allison]] and click on 'edit'. In the edit box there is the whole ''& 39 s'' thing in place of the '''s''. Your explanation does make sense though. Thanks. -- [[User:Veepz|Veepz]] 16:10, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
| |
| :::I noticed that too sometimes, but rarely now. Not sure if it's intentional or some markup error. There is a problem with using a certain combination of apostrophes as genuine apostrophes and italics together, which will prevent the italics from terminating correctly. I thought that maybe people encountered that and used this code instead. No idea... --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 16:25, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
| |
| ::::Yeah, the purpose of the unicode thing (&#39;) is so that you could write something like ''Galactica'''s without causing formatting issues, basically having the wrong things italicized because it's confused about where the terminating tag actually is in a sentence or paragraph.-- [[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> 16:31, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
| |
| :::::I see. Thank you Joe, and thank you Serenity... BTW, I was trying so hard to get '''&#39;s''' to show up on screen. As you see I did not succeed :p -- [[User:Veepz|Veepz]] 16:38, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
