Welcome to Battlestar Wiki![edit]

Greetings, Forestbender, and welcome to Battlestar Wiki! 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 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, Battlestar Pegasus, does so. We're also not a discussion site, although we do have an ever-growing 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 tutorial, experiment in the sandbox (a test editing area for those learning wiki code), and review some of our basic policies (which have important differences from other SF wikis).

Of course, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, you are more than welcome to bring them up at the Chiefs' noticeboard (which is frequented by the administrators of the Wiki) and at the 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 paid membership, which costs only $10 USD a year and helps support the wiki financially. Becoming a member also entitles you to our raffle, where you can win gift cards, merchandise, and other prizes! We think this is ver cool, and we hope you do as well!

Thank you for joining us! Hope to see you soon! --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 03:27, 1 March 2008 (CST)

Battlestar Pegasus[edit]

My name isn't battlestar-specific either, as I too have tried to maintain a consistent identity for my online presence. (Not too many people pick up on the Battletech reference anymore.) However, that's not really why I piped in... I noticed that you mentioned that you do BSG-related art at deviantart, and I thought I'd go ahead and welcome you to submit any of your BSG work to Battlestar Pegasus. While Battlestar Wiki isn't a place for fan art, Battlestar Pegasus is striving to be a place where BSG fans can bring their creative works together, hopefully becoming a Battlestar Wiki for fan-derived work. It's run by the same people (mostly Joe), and I've been doing a little work over there helping to adapt BattlestarCentral's bulletin-board collaborative fiction to the wiki format. Joe's also got some scripts (published and otherwise) from the older series up. I'm not aware of any fan art that's up there, and I'm sure Joe would love it if you'd check it out. --Steelviper 11:18, 1 March 2008 (CST)
