== [[User:Veeps]] ==

Are you sure you didn't mean for [[User:Veepz]] to become a trusted rather than Veeps? --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 06:41, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
:I think Catrope is right, I wondered why I couldn't see 'move' a top the page. Thought it took time for it to activate or something. -- [[User:Veepz|Veepz]] 09:59, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
::I've corrected it. Veepz now can move pages and Veeps cannot. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 10:34, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
:::Thanks Spence. BTW, I ''may'' have been the person who created User:Veeps a long time ago. I don't know for sure. I created Veepz because I couldn't remember my old one, whatever it was, and Veeps was taken. I do wonder... -- [[User:Veepz|Veepz]] 10:44, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
::::Someone with checkuser rights could probably check that. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 11:47, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
:::::Unfortunately, CheckUser only works if the user's logged in within the lifespan of RecentChanges (which means basically 30 days, give or take). Since User:Veeps (with an S) hasn't logged in within that time period, CheckUser is useless. I'd have to access the database directly and pull up the appropriate table, which may or may not yield anything either. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki — ''New''] 11:59, 16 August 2007 (CDT)

== Times publicity ==

Do you guys run statistics software (e.g. AWStat) that can tell whether we've gotten any more traffic from timesonline.co.uk due to their coverage of us? --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]]) 16:25, 19 August 2007 (CDT)
: I just checked. We have Webalizer installed and monitoring frakr.com, but we never enabled it for the battlestarwiki.org, more out of laziness if anything... and the fact that we had to disable the stats software on our old, old server when the site was being besieged. I've just enabled it now, since we can handle it now. So we'll see. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki — ''New''] 16:32, 19 August 2007 (CDT)
::I had to add that to the "news" on the Main Page. We don't get that much opportunity for self-aggrandizement, and the wiki community should be proud to be noticed. :) --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 20:14, 19 August 2007 (CDT)

== new contributor - audio episode guides? ==

Hello! Sorry to be a newbie, but, I've been a fan of the BSGWiki for quite some time, and I finally got a working headset and decided to give something back to the site if I could - I recorded the episode guide for '33' according to the script given on the Audio project page, and I was wondering where I should upload it for verification and such. If I did everything right, I should be able to record most of the audio for the episode guides within the week if you guys want - this seems like an interesting idea, I like doing voiceovers and audio work, and the Lords know I can't edit a wiki to save my life XD

Just looking to be pointed in the right direction, and asking the admin for help might get me there ^^ Thank you, [[User:Kobayashihikaru|Kobayashihikaru]] 14:41, 22 October 2006 (CDT)

: Hello! Nothing wrong with being a newbie! Anyway, all files are to be uploaded to the [[md:Special:Upload|Media Wiki]]. Just a question, though, how big is the MP3 file, because I may have to increase the upload limit on the server. Look forward to hearing back from you! -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 14:57, 22 October 2006 (CDT)

:: Whoa, thank you for the quick response ^^ I just finished recording the audio for the third episode guide, for Bastille Day, and so far the largest of the three is 2.3 MB in size - I tried to keep the file size down as much as I could out of compassion for those of us with dialup and for the BSGWiki server. [[User:Kobayashihikaru|Kobayashihikaru]] 15:33, 22 October 2006 (CDT)

::: Cool! Look forward to reviewing your reads! -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 15:35, 22 October 2006 (CDT)

:::: Okay, I uploaded the files to the MediaWiki, but I'm not sure where I have to go to flag them for review. The verifications page is coming up as an 'edit' link, and I somehow don't feel like I have the authority to make the page for the stuff I did to be reviewed at. >.> I'm going to provide links to the audio files here, so you don't have to go hunting for them - I -think- these links should work...

::::{{audio|33_episodeguide.mp3|listen}}, {{audio|water_episodeguide.mp3|listen}}, {{audio|bastilleday_episodeguide.mp3|listen}}

::::Again, sorry for being clueless, just trying to help the wiki where I can. ^^ [[User:Kobayashihikaru|Kobayashihikaru]] 15:51, 22 October 2006 (CDT)

:::::No need to be sorry. :-) Actually, the verifications page hasn't been set up yet, so that's why your getting the edit page. For now, just post them on [[Battlestar Wiki talk:Audio Development|talk page for the audio development project]]. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 15:56, 22 October 2006 (CDT)

:::::: By your command~ They're on the talk page for Audio Development. I'll be away for a few hours for a martial arts class, I might record more episode guides afterwards. Thank you for being so welcoming to a newb like me ^_^ [[User:Kobayashihikaru|Kobayashihikaru]] 15:59, 22 October 2006 (CDT)

==Scifipedia==
Hey, Joe, if you look over at the [[BW:WQ|Quorum]], you'll see the discussion on how Sci-Fi's very own Wiki has been stealing some of their info from us here at Battlestar Wiki. --[[User:BklynBruzer|BklynBruzer]] 21:22, 24 October 2006 (CDT)

== On GTalk ==

== Regarding the questions section ==

"Questions - yet again, this section is for questions -- not possible answers to questions!"

It just doesn't make any sense. A questions section without answers has no real purpose. I've seen speculative material posted over and over again at that section. Some questions are pertinent, but there are others which can be easily answered and shouldn't be there.

:The problem was that people went too far with it, especially at the beginning of Season 3. There were lots of trivial questions and overly lenghty replies. Also back and forthing where other people replied with counter arguments and questions, leading to lots of fanwanking and baseless speculation and opinionating. Very annoying to read.
:To me, the current solution feels restrictive too, but otherwise it's hard to draw a line on what to allow and what not. However, I agree that some questions have answers that could easily be explained within the context of the episode and without speculating much (like deducing Helo's or Kat's rank from their pins). Still, it's better than what went on before. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 07:16, 9 November 2006 (CST)

:As Serenity points out above, people went too far with the questions section. We're an encyclopedic reference, not a message board. Firstly, much of our episode guide format is derived from the Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5 (an excellent resource that pre-dates even Wikipedia), and we use its methods as a guide to our own episode guide. Secondly, any answers to questions given in the episode can be placed in either the analysis or notes sections, which is the more pertinent place for answers. Also, in general though, may I suggest that you comments of this nature to the [[Battlestar Wiki:Wikipedian Quorum|Wikipedian Quorum]], since this is more a general question and not specifically a question I should (alone) answer. Thank you. :-) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 09:17, 9 November 2006 (CST)

:I see. Makes prefect sense now. Thanks ! --[[User:MAIA]]

==Advertisements==
Joe, I'm happy to see that the site is back up. I see that you've implemented some animated GIF advertisements. Shane and I had previously discussed some other alternatives. Is there a currently open discussion on site support? --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 16:06, 11 November 2006 (CST)

To do it, I need to shut down the site for two days as I be testing out configs. Hopefully one shot and it will work, but you never know. [[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]]) 18:42, 13 November 2006 (CST)

==In Lieu Of==
"In lieu of" means "instead of". I think the expression you're looking for is "in light of". --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 17:48, 21 November 2006 (CST)

== Hi again from Wikia ==

Hi Joe,

I saw the discussion about hosting, it sounds like you decided to try something else for now. Best of luck with the adbrite tools. If it is of any value, we'd be happy to discuss hosting you with the following if you ever change your mind 
* Ads only on content pages for registered users (not on talk, history, edit, etc) if that makes the site cleaner and faster loading.
* Offering attribution, Youtube, easier photo uploading (try our image button), polling, mapping and a bunch of other extensions that have improved functionality
* Links from the wikia home page to help you grow

That said, I respect the desire to build what you have, so best of luck with a great site - I'm a fan of the show and of your work.

Gil:

Welcome to the Wiki. Feel free to tell us about yourself on your user page. Before you get started on other edits, please read the [[Battlestar Wiki:Standards and Conventions]] project article, which details the policies we use in editing pages (this differs from many other wikis in consistent use of phrasing, abbreviations, format, and the like). --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 18:42, 29 January 2006 (EST)

== Editing Change ==

Hi, there. Wanted to explain a recent edit I did on a submission you made. Your addition to the section on spacetime manipulation of gravity for the [[Science in the Re-imagined Series]] article was interesting, but I had to rewrite the statement "This is approximately 3.5 astronomical units, which is consistent with the expected dimensions of the Colonial planetary system." We have no information on the configuration of the solar system of the Colonies--none except Virgon and Caprica were planets. Therefore, we have no dimensions of the system. There is a separate article on [[Cyrannus]] that speculates on the Colonies' configuration, but since the "Science" article's purpose is not to be overly speculative without grounded, aired content, it seemed out of place. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 08:32, 30 January 2006 (EST)
