Editing User talk:XcsexiboycX

== Welcome to Battlestar Wiki! ==

Greetings, {{PAGENAME}}, and welcome to Battlestar Wiki! I'm pleased to tell you that you have full editing privileges on every wiki in the Battlestar Wiki network. I hope you enjoy your stay with us and am looking forward to your contributions to the Wiki! Why not begin by telling us a bit about yourself on your own [[User:{{PAGENAME}}|user page]]?

As you may already know, Battlestar Wiki covers all the ''Battlestar Galactica'' series from past to present, in addition to authorized merchandise. Presently, we don't cover fan fiction, but our sister-site, [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]], does so. We're also not a discussion site, although we do have an ever-growing [http://www.battlestarforum.com Battlestar Forum] where people can discuss the various shows and non-BSG topics as well!

To get started on the wiki, we suggest that you check out our [[BW:TUT|tutorial]], experiment in [[BW:SAND|the sandbox]] (a test editing area for those learning wiki code), and review some of our basic [[BW:POL|policies]] (which have important differences from other SF wikis). For some general questions and answers about the navigation and operation of the Wiki, check out the [[Battlestar Wiki:FAQ|Frequently Asked Questions]] (FAQ).

Of course, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, you are more than welcome to bring them up at the [[BW:CN|Chiefs' noticeboard]] (which is frequented by the administrators of the Wiki) and at the [[BW:GQ|Galactipedians' Quorum]] (which is the hub for contributors, who are called "Galactipedians").

Furthermore, if you don't wish to see the ads, then please consider upgrading your account to a [[BW:MEMBERSHIP|paid membership]], which costs only $10 USD a year and helps support the wiki financially. This membership also extends to the [http://www.battlestarforum.com Battlestar Forum], where you can talk to other members about the show and most anything that you want to talk about to BSG fans! We think this is very cool, and we hope you do as well! 

Thank you for joining us! Hope to see you soon!

-== Reasons for Reversion ==
-I am (or already have been, depending on when you read this) reverting your recent edits to [[Natalie]], [[Caprica-Six]] and [[Number Six]], since your edits—while good intentioned—are simply too verbose and too riddled with style errors to be of any serious worth. Furthermore, the lack of proper grammar and sentence structure (many of your sentences are run-ons, sadly), have utterly destroyed the flow of the previous versions of the articles. While I will readily admit that the previous versions may have areas of opportunity, I do believe that they are far more readable, understandable and, quite simply, succinct and to-the-point than the edits you have made.
-My intent on writing this message is to point out that you should '''seriously and thoroughly proof-read your edits ''before'' you submit them'''. While reading in the MediaWiki [[BW:CODE|syntax]] may hamper proof-reading, there is a preview feature that allows editors to be able to see the results of their work '''before''' being able to submit their data for world-wide viewing.
-Further, I recommend reading our  [[BW:SAC|standards and conventions]] and [[BW:CON|concision]] policies, which will aid you in editing here.
-I don't meant to come down hard on you, and I certainly do not want to damage or destroy your self-esteem or the enthusiasm you have shown here in the past day since you've joined us, however there are certain things that must simply be adhered to to make editing easier and more pleasurable for ''all'' of our active contributors, since we are a team here and we must work as one in order to make this reference work.
-Please feel free to contact me (or any other chief or senior chief) with any questions, comments, or concerns.
-Thank you! -- [[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> 19:18, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
