== Idols of Mine ==

=== Malcolm X ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LukWzli19M The problem is still here]'''
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO6Co8v2XjY&mode=related&search= Nationalism is the wave of the future]'''
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87dgmGwqhKU&NR We are brutalized because we are black people in America]'''
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ2mc8DJsyQ&NR I for one will join in with anyone, I don't care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this Earth]

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

=== George Orwell ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyrIj4CqVsc Who controls the past, controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past]'''
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNuVVgh1HTw 2 + 2 =]'''
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxpJSeTkEWE April 4, 1984 (ignore the first and last parts please)]
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFnHD1AlKEU&mode=related&search= Here comes a candle to light you to bed. Here comes a chopper to chop off your head.]

Okay, so YouTube has a rather poor selection of Nineteen Eighty-Four clips, but that is inconsequential. George Orwell wrote arguably the best and easily the most haunting bleak future novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. His social commentary, brilliant mind, bleak settings and symbolism deserve him a place in the Annals of Literature. As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

=== Stephen Colbert ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7W42aE9kao My all-time favorite. Stephen Colbert takes on WIKIPEDIA!]'''
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzo6hbKcGV8&mode=related&search= Stephen Colbert takes on my state's politics]'''

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDLWqOCqngY&NR Stephen Colbert takes on the World Cup]

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

== Editing Philosophy ==

Over the months I've been on Wikipedia and affilitated sites, I've developed a philosophy for editing that works well for me, and hopefully me fellow editors and SysOps. I attempt to put this into practice every time.

* I assume good faith.
* I condemn all personal attacks, and will remove them if they are too offensive.
* I have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Vandalism.
* I prefer to discuss large-scale changes (i.e. content additions) to articles on the talk page before changing anything.
* I respond to EVERY message I get on my talk page, although not necessarily right away. You can be safe knowing that ANYTHING you write will be answered at some point in time.
* I prefer communication and friendliness with other users.
* I am bold...with typo correction and small omissions.

== Caveat ==

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up. ''(Problem identified by the two SysOps above)''
* Certain wiki guidelines (i.e. the various naming conventions of [[Sharon Valerii]]). ''(Problem identified by [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]])''
* Figuring out who's who here (SysOp vs. member). ''(Problem identified by [[User: Steelviper|Steelviper]])''
* I go nuts with trivia and notes. An excellent example would be the Notes section of [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* BSG is filmed in Vancouver, and that city and its landmarks are featured in Colonial scenes. I try to base theories off of those screenshots, which is bad. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* I like to talk to people I'm friendly with here. To become wikifriends with me, you simply have to leave a note of any sort on my talk page. I will often contact you after that, and if I accidentally spam you or say something offensive, please correct me! ''(Hasn't happened yet, but just in case it does)''
* I get the feeling that I'm not bold enough (see Editing Philosophy section above). Tell me where the line between being bold and being reckless is if I goof up. ''(Problem identified by myself)''
* I can't figure out how to upload images. ''(Problme identified by myself)''

== Statement of My Mission on Battlestar Wiki ==

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

=== Directory of My Work ===

* [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]
* [[Cities of Caprica]] (Has since been deleted)
* [[Caprica 7]] (Deleted on my recommendation)
* [[Caprica Beach]]
* [[Caprica 5]]
* [[Channel 7 News]]
* [[The News-Review]]
* [[Gemini Freight]] (Turned into a redirect for ''Gemini'')
* [[Breeders Canyon]]
* [[Pergamus Flats]]

=== Statistics ===

In order to keep a track record of how I'm doing, I'm going to tally statistics of my articles that are kept and deleted.

'''Total Number of Articles Created'''
* 10
'''Number of Articles Deleted'''
* 2

== The Homeworld ==

'''CAUTION:''' THIS WILL BE RATHER SILLY

[[Image:Railgun.jpg|thumb|right|We have BIG GUNS on this Colony]]
[[Image:BSGToaster.jpg|thumb|right|We like toast on The Homeworld (with butter and fruity preserves, of course)]]
[[Image:Cylonattack.jpg|thumb|right|Take that Speilberg!]]
[[Image:CapricaMessage.jpg|thumb|right|Oh George Lucas. You poor, poor fool for sueing BSG.]]
[[Image:BattleofKobol.jpg|thumb|right|The Cylons apparently had a falling out with the Gould at some point...Why else would they be blowin up the Great Pyramids?]]

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

== WARNING! ==

Who do you think you are, Homeworld...whatever your true username is. You keep changing it every time we see you. Anywho, who do you think you are to go around cockily and make you userpage '''''humorous'''''? It's an outrage! A scandal!

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

''No actual users were harmed in the making of this satire on wiki politics. Any parallels with any other user's ideology or interests are unintended, and they should not be interpreted as being intended. I hold the utmost respect for policies here, and will always cite a source. I just like to poke fun every once in a while. If anyone takes offense to this, leave a note on my talk page where I will apologize and (GASP AND HORROR!) crack a joke.''

== Music to Work To ==

Most of these songs have videos attached. Don't feel obligated to watch them, as they are repetative. It's the song you want.

== If You See What I See, If You Feel As I Feel... ==

'''SPECIAL THANKS TO ''THE MEROVINGIAN,'' FOR INSPIRING THIS SECTION WITH HIS OWN LITTLE "V" SECTION'''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression. The following is the rise of dictators, and the beginnings of revolutions. Dictatorship and oppression is what happens when millions of people stop thinking and succumb to fear and terror. BE WARNED.

''"You gotta stand up for something, or you'll fall for anything"''.

*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KMlCeDnGoI&NR Remember, remember the 11th of September...]
*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9CT3BIz_y8&mode=related&search= V for Venezuela]
*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFPwfPUhZwk&mode=related&search= "So this is how democracy dies...with thundrous applause"]
*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzFsG6J-DaU&NR "He offered you order, he offered you peace. And all he demanded in return was your silent obedient consent"]
*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNDzLYpN_Q8&NR This is over the top and this country's problems aren't ''this'' bad...yet, but nevertheless has some good points regardless]
*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7i8b7YwMWhs&mode=related&search= "Fear became the ultimate tool of this Government"]

*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk2nDlTc1qY&NR Ideas are bulletproof...the Revolution begins]

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!

Adriatic

Homeworld: Updated with the Adriatic's loss in The Passage

{{Ship Data
| image=
| race= Colonial
| type= Civilian
| ftl= Yes
| crew= Unknown
| role= Unknown
| weapons= Short range ship-ship missiles
}}

The '''''Adriatic''''' is the first ship in [[The Fleet (RDM)|The Fleet]] other than ''[[Galactica]]'' and ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' that is known to viewers to have weapons. It is armed with ship-to-ship missiles of a limited range. Its class is unknown.

This ship, or at least a majority of her crew, were part of [[Roslin Faction|Roslin's fleet]].

It was in weapon's range of [[Kara Thrace]] and her party's stolen [[Cylon Heavy Raider]] when it returned from [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Caprica|Caprica]], though it did not fire ([[Home, Part I]]).

The ''Adriatic'' was permanently lost, presumably with all hands, to a radioactive star cluster in [[The Passage]] after [[Hot Dog]] failed to locate it and shepherd it to safety.

==Notes==
The name of the ''Adriatic'' is yet another naming anomaly, as it appears to be named after the [[Wikipedia:Adriatic Sea|Adriatic Sea]], an arm of the [[Wikipedia:Mediterranean Sea|Mediterranean Sea]] that separates Italy from the Balkan peninsula on [[Earth]].

In addition to the ocean, the [[Wikipedia:White Star Line|White Star Line]] named two of its vessels ''Adriatic'', one entering service in [[Wikipedia:SS Adriatic (1871)|1871]] and the other in [[Wikipedia:RMS Adriatic (1907)|1907]]

Fanu Sadin

2006-12-09T03:47:49Z

Homeworld: Updated article with info from the 8th's episode

The '''Fanu Sadin''' is a ship in [[The Fleet (RDM)|The Fleet]]. The ship has yet to be seen, but its name was shown on the voting tally board in "''[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]''".

In [[The Passage]], the Fanu Sadin was assigned to [[Louanne Katraine|Kat]] for guidance through the star cluster. Though it was almost lost with all hands like two other passenger carriers before it, the Fanu Sadin was saved by Kat and brought safely back to the Fleet.

== Richard Dawkins takes on a jerk ==

Hey man. You must be a bit stressed with all this style updating and reformatting, so I thought I could help you relax. Check [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmNjfpoRZpE&NR this out]. Here we have Richard Dawkins take on an evangelical "Christian" who turns into a jerk really fast. I think Dawkins won the argument too, though it's rather grey. Now, I have to agree with you. Richard Dawkins is the MAN when it comes to science, and I'm glad you idolized him. I respect him quite a bit myself, and I appreciate his scientific commentary. Happy viewing! --[[User:Homeworld|Homeworld]] 15:31, 26 August 2006 (CDT)
:Thats a clip taken from a TV program he did called [[Wikipedia:The Root of All Evil?|The Root of All Evil?]] ^_^ Its not been repeated in the UK as far as I know but you could probably download it from somewhere, it was a great program. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] ([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]]) 15:48, 26 August 2006 (CDT)

::I'm interested to see the full program. That 6-minute clip piqued my interest. That site I got it from has bits and pieces from the show, and maybe the whole thing. I already watched another clip called "Teapot Atheists." Striking commentary. Dawkins says that everyone is an atheist since many no longer believe in the gods of Egypt or Rome or Sumer. By the way, I decided to read about James Randi (I already know about Gervais and Sagan). I must say, I respect anyone who can reveal that a "faith-healer" is a sham. I have no patience for people who sell their faith like that Popville guy did. Has the world no shame? I recently added an "Idols" section to my own userpage along with some video clips of them. Thanks for being the inspiration for that! ^_^ --[[User:Homeworld|Homeworld]] 16:09, 26 August 2006 (CDT)

== CNP vs virus ==

Hey. I reverted an edit you made on [[Atlantia (RDM)]]. Just to let you know, the Cylons used [[backdoor]] programming to essentially command the [[CNP]] to turn off or seriously disable itself, leading to their victory. Viruses are an old tactic of theirs from the Cylon War, and are used if they can hack into a Colonial ship's computer network (as done in [[Scattered]] and [[Flight of the Phoenix]]). But the Cylons didn't primarily win with viruses, just the CNP. The talk page there, I think, says it all. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 10:27, 6 October 2006 (CDT)

== Idols of Mine ==

=== Malcolm X ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LukWzli19M The problem is still here]'''
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO6Co8v2XjY&mode=related&search= Nationalism is the wave of the future]'''
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87dgmGwqhKU&NR We are brutalized because we are black people in America]'''
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ2mc8DJsyQ&NR I for one will join in with anyone, I don't care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this Earth]

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

=== George Orwell ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyrIj4CqVsc Who controls the past, controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past]'''
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNuVVgh1HTw 2 + 2 =]'''
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxpJSeTkEWE April 4, 1984 (ignore the first and last parts please)]
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFnHD1AlKEU&mode=related&search= Here comes a candle to light you to bed. Here comes a chopper to chop off your head.]

Okay, so YouTube has a rather poor selection of Nineteen Eighty-Four clips, but that is inconsequential. George Orwell wrote arguably the best and easily the most haunting bleak future novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. His social commentary, brilliant mind, bleak settings and symbolism deserve him a place in the Annals of Literature. As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

=== Stephen Colbert ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDLWqOCqngY&NR Stephen Colbert takes on the World Cup]

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

== Editing Philosophy ==

Over the months I've been on Wikipedia and affilitated sites, I've developed a philosophy for editing that works well for me, and hopefully me fellow editors and SysOps. I attempt to put this into practice every time.

* I assume good faith.
* I condemn all personal attacks, and will remove them if they are too offensive.
* I have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Vandalism.
* I prefer to discuss large-scale changes (i.e. content additions) to articles on the talk page before changing anything.
* I respond to EVERY message I get on my talk page, although not necessarily right away. You can be safe knowing that ANYTHING you write will be answered at some point in time.
* I prefer communication and friendliness with other users.
* I am bold...with typo correction and small omissions.

== Caveat ==

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up. ''(Problem identified by the two SysOps above)''
* Certain wiki guidelines (i.e. the various naming conventions of [[Sharon Valerii]]). ''(Problem identified by [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]])''
* Figuring out who's who here (SysOp vs. member). ''(Problem identified by [[User: Steelviper|Steelviper]])''
* I go nuts with trivia and notes. An excellent example would be the Notes section of [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* BSG is filmed in Vancouver, and that city and its landmarks are featured in Colonial scenes. I try to base theories off of those screenshots, which is bad. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* I like to talk to people I'm friendly with here. To become wikifriends with me, you simply have to leave a note of any sort on my talk page. I will often contact you after that, and if I accidentally spam you or say something offensive, please correct me! ''(Hasn't happened yet, but just in case it does)''
* I get the feeling that I'm not bold enough (see Editing Philosophy section above). Tell me where the line between being bold and being reckless is if I goof up. ''(Problem identified by myself)''
* I can't figure out how to upload images. ''(Problme identified by myself)''

== Statement of My Mission on Battlestar Wiki ==

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

=== Directory of My Work ===

* [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]
* [[Cities of Caprica]] (Has since been deleted)
* [[Caprica 7]] (Deleted on my recommendation)
* [[Caprica Beach]]
* [[Caprica 5]]
* [[Channel 7 News]]
* [[The News-Review]]
* [[Gemini Freight]] (Turned into a redirect for ''Gemini'')
* [[Breeder's Canyon]]
* [[Pergamus Flats]]

=== Statistics ===

In order to keep a track record of how I'm doing, I'm going to tally statistics of my articles that are kept and deleted.

'''Total Number of Articles Created'''
* 10
'''Number of Articles Deleted'''
* 2

== The Homeworld ==

'''CAUTION:''' THIS WILL BE RATHER SILLY

[[Image:Railgun.jpg|thumb|right|We have BIG GUNS on this Colony]]
[[Image:BSGToaster.jpg|thumb|right|We like toast on The Homeworld (with butter and fruity preserves, of course)]]
[[Image:Cylonattack.jpg|thumb|right|Take that Speilberg!]]

[[Image:BattleofKobol.jpg|thumb|right|The Cylons apparently had a falling out with the Gould at some point...Why else would they be blowin up the Great Pyramids?]]

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

== WARNING! ==

Who do you think you are, Homeworld...whatever your true username is. You keep changing it every time we see you. Anywho, who do you think you are to go around cockily and make you userpage '''''humorous'''''? It's an outrage! A scandal!

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

''No actual users were harmed in the making of this satire on wiki politics. Any parallels with any other user's ideology or interests are unintended, and they should not be interpreted as being intended. I hold the utmost respect for policies here, and will always cite a source. I just like to poke fun every once in a while. If anyone takes offense to this, leave a note on my talk page where I will apologize and (GASP AND HORROR!) crack a joke.''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression. The following is the rise of dictators, and the beginnings of revolutions. Dictatorship and oppression is what happens when millions of people stop thinking and succumb to fear and terror.

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!

[[Image:Close up of NCP Poster.png|200px|thumb|right|Close up ([[Occupation]])]]
The '''New Caprica Police''' ('''NCP''') is a force of humans recruited by the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] to maintain order on [[New Caprica]]. Each wears a black [[Wikipedia:Balaclava|ski mask]], blue body armor, a green uniform, and a black and yellow sleeve patch with the characters "NCP" surrounded by the words "New Caprica Security Forces". They are commonly seen as prison guards, rounding up other citizens and even beating up or shooting prisoners down.

In [[Occupation]], a graduating class of two hundred cadets from the New Caprica Police Academy and some [[Cylon agent|VIP]] guests are caught in a suicide bomb attack at the graduation hall. Casualties included thirty-three cadets and numerous Cylons. The attack is planned and executed by [[Tucker Clellan|Tucker "Duck" Clellan]], a member of the [[New Caprica Resistance|insurgency]] driven to suicidal depression by the death of his partner, [[Nora]], two months previously.

== Note ==

The recruiting poster seen in [[Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance]] depicts a man in black clothing, despite all police seen on duty being dressed as above.

== Idols of Mine ==

=== Malcolm X ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LukWzli19M The problem is still here]'''
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO6Co8v2XjY&mode=related&search= Nationalism is the wave of the future]'''
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87dgmGwqhKU&NR We are brutalized because we are black people in America]'''
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ2mc8DJsyQ&NR I for one will join in with anyone, I don't care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this Earth]

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

=== George Orwell ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyrIj4CqVsc Who controls the past, controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past]'''

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFnHD1AlKEU&mode=related&search= Here comes a candle to light you to bed. Here comes a chopper to chop off your head.]

Okay, so YouTube has a rather poor selection of Nineteen Eighty-Four clips, but that is inconsequential. George Orwell wrote arguably the best and easily the most haunting bleak future novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. His social commentary, brilliant mind, bleak settings and symbolism deserve him a place in the Annals of Literature. As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

=== Stephen Colbert ===

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

== Editing Philosophy ==

Over the months I've been on Wikipedia and affilitated sites, I've developed a philosophy for editing that works well for me, and hopefully me fellow editors and SysOps. I attempt to put this into practice every time.

* I assume good faith.
* I condemn all personal attacks, and will remove them if they are too offensive.
* I have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Vandalism.
* I prefer to discuss large-scale changes (i.e. content additions) to articles on the talk page before changing anything.
* I respond to EVERY message I get on my talk page, although not necessarily right away. You can be safe knowing that ANYTHING you write will be answered at some point in time.
* I prefer communication and friendliness with other users.
* I am bold...with typo correction and small omissions.

== Caveat ==

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up. ''(Problem identified by the two SysOps above)''
* Certain wiki guidelines (i.e. the various naming conventions of [[Sharon Valerii]]). ''(Problem identified by [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]])''
* Figuring out who's who here (SysOp vs. member). ''(Problem identified by [[User: Steelviper|Steelviper]])''
* I go nuts with trivia and notes. An excellent example would be the Notes section of [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* BSG is filmed in Vancouver, and that city and its landmarks are featured in Colonial scenes. I try to base theories off of those screenshots, which is bad. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* I like to talk to people I'm friendly with here. To become wikifriends with me, you simply have to leave a note of any sort on my talk page. I will often contact you after that, and if I accidentally spam you or say something offensive, please correct me! ''(Hasn't happened yet, but just in case it does)''
* I get the feeling that I'm not bold enough (see Editing Philosophy section above). Tell me where the line between being bold and being reckless is if I goof up. ''(Problem identified by myself)''
* I can't figure out how to upload images. ''(Problme identified by myself)''

== Statement of My Mission on Battlestar Wiki ==

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

=== Directory of My Work ===

* [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]
* [[Cities of Caprica]] (Has since been deleted)
* [[Caprica 7]] (Deleted on my recommendation)

* [[The News-Review]]
* [[Gemini Freight]] (Turned into a redirect for ''Gemini'')
* [[Breeder's Canyon]]

'''CAUTION:''' THIS WILL BE RATHER SILLY

[[Image:Railgun.jpg|thumb|right|We have BIG GUNS on this Colony]]

[[Image:Cylonattack.jpg|thumb|right|Take that Speilberg!]]

[[Image:BattleofKobol.jpg|thumb|right|The Cylons apparently had a falling out with the Gould at some point...Why else would they be blowin up the Great Pyramids?]]

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

== WARNING! ==

Who do you think you are, Homeworld...whatever your true username is. You keep changing it every time we see you. Anywho, who do you think you are to go around cockily and make you userpage '''''humorous'''''? It's an outrage! A scandal!

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

''No actual users were harmed in the making of this satire on wiki politics. Any parallels with any other user's ideology or interests are unintended, and they should not be interpreted as being intended. I hold the utmost respect for policies here, and will always cite a source. I just like to poke fun every once in a while. If anyone takes offense to this, leave a note on my talk page where I will apologize and (GASP AND HORROR!) crack a joke.''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression.

Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!

[[Image:Breeder's Canyon (3).png|thumb|right|150px|Raptors [[FTL|Jumping]] into the canyon]]
'''Breeder's Canyon''' is a natural landmark on [[New Caprica]].

It was carved out by a shallow, winding river that flows through the center of the valley. Surrounding the river is a forest containing numerous trees and shrubs. The greenery continues up the canyon walls until the peaks of the rocks, which appear to be barren sandstone. From [[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol's]] comments, Breeder's Canyon is apparently a long distance to walk from [[New Caprica City]].

This canyon's riverbanks is selected as the rendezvous point between ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica's]]'' [[Raptor]] team led by new officer [[Sharon Agathon]], and the New Caprica insurgency led by [[Samuel Anders]].

After [[Ellen Tigh]] tips off the Cylons in an effort to save [[Saul Tigh|her husband]] from further persecution, [[Cylon Centurion]]s ambush the united team as they planned, taking the lives of a few insurgents.

Pergamus Flats

2006-10-14T03:20:01Z

Homeworld: Article on a region in Friday's episode

The '''Pergamus Flats''' are low-lying natural landmarks located on [[New Caprica]], much like [[Breeder's Canyon]].

The topography of the Pergamus Flats consists of a series of muddy plains and grassy glades located in a basin surrounded by tree-covered plateaus. A quasi-road of mud that can support human ground vehicles runs through this region.

One of the wider rises in these flats was chosen by the [[Cylons|Cylon occupiers]] and the [[New Caprica Police]] as the site for the execution by firing squad of two-hundred suspected insurgents. This plan was ruined by several uncaptured insurgents led by [[Galen Tyrol]] who killed the [[Centurion]]s, [[Cavil]] and several NCP officers using automatic weapons from a small hillock. [[Cally]] was in the crowd of suspects and freed by [[Jammer]], who told her to run into a grassy dell behind her where she was knocked out the line of fire by Tyrol.

Homeworld: /* Population count? */

Does anyone have screenshots from [[The Resistance]] of New Caprica City? Be nice to have comparsion shot of the nearly same view. Thanks. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 15:53, 16 September 2006 (CDT)
:Good idea. I just checked and there are some very large structures at the end of the central road. Looks like the Cylons have been very busy --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 15:58, 16 September 2006 (CDT)
::Also, the ships (Colonial One etc.) are gone. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 16:00, 16 September 2006 (CDT)
:::Though probably just moved somewhere else on the planet. There will be scenes with the Cylon leaders and Baltar on Colonial One. I doubt they'll do that in orbit --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 16:03, 16 September 2006 (CDT)
::::Actually, the Structures we see are on the other side of the "Main Road". The Ship section is just under the camera, and not visible, I think. I'll check and post pics ASAP ;)--[[User:Sauron18|Sauron18]] 16:21, 16 September 2006 (CDT)
:::::I could be wrong and you may be right I just ASSume :p that is was the same POV. Thanks. Shot will still be nice! --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 16:25, 16 September 2006 (CDT)
:::::That's what I thought too at first, but if you check the pic from LDYB you see that Colonial One is right the beginning of the Main Road. Not some distance away. The position of the "Resistance" shot is a bit further to the right because the river on the left isn't visible (only the very top bit), but I think Colonial One should still be visible --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 16:28, 16 September 2006 (CDT)
:::::::Yes it's the same POV, I misunderstood what you (FrankieG) were saying and thought you meant it was another, which neither of us believed it was. Anyways, it's the same basic POV (as we both believed) and the Ships are not visible, but only a very slight portion would be visible.

:::::::Here [http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/1916/newcrappyqv9.jpg] is a comparison shot. The only ship which would be visible is Colonial One, and considering the ship, it isn't too suprising they would move it closer to wherever the Cylons reside in NC. --[[User:Sauron18|Sauron18]] 16:30, 16 September 2006 (CDT)

Let's unindented since this is really a new thread[http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/1916/newcrappyqv9.jpg], Thanks Sauron. That is the first time I noticed the towers randomly place around the city. Possibly for surveillance? Total spec. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 16:49, 16 September 2006 (CDT)

== Population count? ==

Since I feel this page needs to be rewritten anyway, should we add a section covering the population count since LDYB? -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 14:57, 8 October 2006 (CDT)

:How would we do that? We don't know how many Cylons added to the total population, but I am assuming you are interested in the human population. How would we get that? Is it just subtract 33 (police cadets killed in suicide bombing) minus 4 (humans killed in power plant bombing) minus 200 (suspected insurgents). Well, strike that, we don't know how many of the suspects were killed by the Cylons at the end of Occuprice. So are we just doing 37 minus the population as of the end of LDBY, or shall we wait? Just wondering. --[[User:Homeworld|Homeworld]] 16:03, 8 October 2006 (CDT)
:Have we been given any further information? --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 16:04, 8 October 2006 (CDT)

::Well, I forgot the two suicide bombers themselves, so that's 2 plus 37, 39. LDBY population - 39, AS OF FAR. Other than that, the casualty rates of the 200 suspects will be unresolved until next Friday, so no other information except 39 solid human deaths, plus ''perhaps'' one of a guy undergoing torture at the beginning of the episode (I could hear some screams when the Cavil entered Tigh's cell). --[[User:Homeworld|Homeworld]] 16:08, 8 October 2006 (CDT)

== Idols of Mine ==

=== Malcolm X ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LukWzli19M The problem is still here]'''
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO6Co8v2XjY&mode=related&search= Nationalism is the wave of the future]'''
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87dgmGwqhKU&NR We are brutalized because we are black people in America]'''
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ2mc8DJsyQ&NR I for one will join in with anyone, I don't care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this Earth]

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

=== George Orwell ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyrIj4CqVsc Who controls the past, controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past]'''

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFnHD1AlKEU&mode=related&search= Here comes a candle to light you to bed. Here comes a chopper to chop off your head.]

Okay, so YouTube has a rather poor selection of Nineteen Eighty-Four clips, but that is inconsequential. George Orwell wrote arguably the best and easily the most haunting bleak future novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. His social commentary, brilliant mind, bleak settings and symbolism deserve him a place in the Annals of Literature. As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

=== Stephen Colbert ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDLWqOCqngY&NR Stephen Colbert takes on the World Cup]

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

== Editing Philosophy ==

Over the months I've been on Wikipedia and affilitated sites, I've developed a philosophy for editing that works well for me, and hopefully me fellow editors and SysOps. I attempt to put this into practice every time.

* I assume good faith.
* I condemn all personal attacks, and will remove them if they are too offensive.
* I have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Vandalism.
* I prefer to discuss large-scale changes (i.e. content additions) to articles on the talk page before changing anything.
* I respond to EVERY message I get on my talk page, although not necessarily right away. You can be safe knowing that ANYTHING you write will be answered at some point in time.
* I prefer communication and friendliness with other users.
* I am bold...with typo correction and small omissions.

== Caveat ==

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up. ''(Problem identified by the two SysOps above)''
* Certain wiki guidelines (i.e. the various naming conventions of [[Sharon Valerii]]). ''(Problem identified by [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]])''
* Figuring out who's who here (SysOp vs. member). ''(Problem identified by [[User: Steelviper|Steelviper]])''
* I go nuts with trivia and notes. An excellent example would be the Notes section of [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* BSG is filmed in Vancouver, and that city and its landmarks are featured in Colonial scenes. I try to base theories off of those screenshots, which is bad. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* I like to talk to people I'm friendly with here. To become wikifriends with me, you simply have to leave a note of any sort on my talk page. I will often contact you after that, and if I accidentally spam you or say something offensive, please correct me! ''(Hasn't happened yet, but just in case it does)''
* I get the feeling that I'm not bold enough (see Editing Philosophy section above). Tell me where the line between being bold and being reckless is if I goof up. ''(Problem identified by myself)''
* I can't figure out how to upload images. ''(Problme identified by myself)''

== Statement of My Mission on Battlestar Wiki ==

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

'''CAUTION:''' THIS WILL BE RATHER SILLY

[[Image:BattleofKobol.jpg|thumb|right|The Cylons apparently had a falling out with the Gould at some point...Why else would they be blowin up the Great Pyramids?]]

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

== WARNING! ==

Who do you think you are, Homeworld...whatever your true username is. You keep changing it every time we see you. Anywho, who do you think you are to go around cockily and make you userpage '''''humorous'''''? It's an outrage! A scandal!

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

''No actual users were harmed in the making of this satire on wiki politics. Any parallels with any other user's ideology or interests are unintended, and they should not be interpreted as being intended. I hold the utmost respect for policies here, and will always cite a source. I just like to poke fun every once in a while. If anyone takes offense to this, leave a note on my talk page where I will apologize and (GASP AND HORROR!) crack a joke.''

'''SPECIAL THANKS TO ''THE MEROVINGIAN,'' FOR INSPIRING THIS SECTION WITH HIS OWN LITTLE "V" SECTION'''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression. The following is the rise of dictators, and the beginnings of revolutions. Dictatorship and oppression is what happens when millions of people stop thinking and succumb to fear and terror. BE WARNED.

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!

=== Malcolm X ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ2mc8DJsyQ&NR I for one will join in with anyone, I don't care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this Earth]

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

=== George Orwell ===

Okay, so YouTube has a rather poor selection of Nineteen Eighty-Four clips, but that is inconsequential. George Orwell wrote arguably the best and easily the most haunting bleak future novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. His social commentary, brilliant mind, bleak settings and symbolism deserve him a place in the Annals of Literature. As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

== Editing Philosophy ==

Over the months I've been on Wikipedia and affilitated sites, I've developed a philosophy for editing that works well for me, and hopefully me fellow editors and SysOps. I attempt to put this into practice every time.

* I assume good faith.
* I condemn all personal attacks, and will remove them if they are too offensive.
* I have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Vandalism.
* I prefer to discuss large-scale changes (i.e. content additions) to articles on the talk page before changing anything.
* I respond to EVERY message I get on my talk page, although not necessarily right away. You can be safe knowing that ANYTHING you write will be answered at some point in time.
* I prefer communication and friendliness with other users.
* I am bold...with typo correction and small omissions.

== Caveat ==

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up. ''(Problem identified by the two SysOps above)''
* Certain wiki guidelines (i.e. the various naming conventions of [[Sharon Valerii]]). ''(Problem identified by [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]])''
* Figuring out who's who here (SysOp vs. member). ''(Problem identified by [[User: Steelviper|Steelviper]])''
* I go nuts with trivia and notes. An excellent example would be the Notes section of [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* BSG is filmed in Vancouver, and that city and its landmarks are featured in Colonial scenes. I try to base theories off of those screenshots, which is bad. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* I like to talk to people I'm friendly with here. To become wikifriends with me, you simply have to leave a note of any sort on my talk page. I will often contact you after that, and if I accidentally spam you or say something offensive, please correct me! ''(Hasn't happened yet, but just in case it does)''
* I get the feeling that I'm not bold enough (see Editing Philosophy section above). Tell me where the line between being bold and being reckless is if I goof up. ''(Problem identified by myself)''
* I can't figure out how to upload images. ''(Problme identified by myself)''

== Statement of My Mission on Battlestar Wiki ==

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

=== Directory of My Work ===

* [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]
* [[Cities of Caprica]] (Has since been deleted)
* [[Caprica 7]] (Deleted on my recommendation)
* [[Caprica Beach]]
* [[Caprica 5]]
* [[Channel 7 News]]
* [[The News-Review]]
* [[Gemini Freight]] (Turned into a redirect for ''Gemini'')
* [[Breeder's Canyon]]

=== Statistics ===

In order to keep a track record of how I'm doing, I'm going to tally statistics of my articles that are kept and deleted.

'''Total Number of Articles Created'''
* 8
'''Number of Articles Deleted'''
* 2
'''Number of Articles Redirected'''
* 1
'''Number of Articles Safe and Sound'''
* 5

=== Articles I Have Edited ===

* [[Caprica City]]
* [[Delphi]]
* [[Twelve Colonies (RDM)]]
* [[New Caprica City]]
* [[Arts and Literature of the Twelve Colonies]]
* [[Toaster]]
* [[New Caprica]]
* [[New Caprica Police]]

== The Homeworld ==

'''CAUTION:''' THIS WILL BE RATHER SILLY

[[Image:Railgun.jpg|thumb|right|We have BIG GUNS on this Colony]]
[[Image:BSGToaster.jpg|thumb|right|We like toast on The Homeworld (with butter and fruity preserves, of course)]]

[[Image:BattleofKobol.jpg|thumb|right|The Cylons apparently had a falling out with the Gould at some point...Why else would they be blowin up the Great Pyramids?]]

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

== WARNING! ==

Who do you think you are, Homeworld...whatever your true username is. You keep changing it every time we see you. Anywho, who do you think you are to go around cockily and make you userpage '''''humorous'''''? It's an outrage! A scandal!

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

''No actual users were harmed in the making of this satire on wiki politics. Any parallels with any other user's ideology or interests are unintended, and they should not be interpreted as being intended. I hold the utmost respect for policies here, and will always cite a source. I just like to poke fun every once in a while. If anyone takes offense to this, leave a note on my talk page where I will apologize and (GASP AND HORROR!) crack a joke.''

Homeworld: Fixed dead links

Breeder's Canyon is a natural landmark on [[New Caprica]]. It was carved out by a shallow, winding river that flows through the center of the valley. Surrounding the river is a forest containing numerous trees and shrubs. The greenery continues up the canyon walls until the peaks of the rocks, which appear to be barren sandstone. From [[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol's]] comments, Breeder's Canyon is apparently a long distance to walk from [[New Caprica City]].

This canyon's riverbanks was selected as the rendezvous point between [[Battlestar Galactica|Galactica's]] Raptor contingency led by new officer [[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)|Sharon Valerii]], and the New Caprica Insurgency led by [[Samuel T. Anders]]. Having been tipped off by [[Ellen Tigh]], the Cylons ambushed both forces, taking the lives of a few insurgents.

A quasi-road that led to Breeder's Canyon was used by [[New Caprica Police]] transports to ferry suspected insurgents to execution. The executions occured in a clearing next to the muddy track. [[Cally]], who was in the crowd but freed by [[Jammer]], escaped into a dell that was heavy in trees and ran along the river.

A quasi-road that led to Breeder's Canyon was used by [[New Caprica Police]] transports to ferry suspected insurgents to execution. The executions occured in a clearing next to the muddy track. [[Cally]], who was in the crowd but freed by [[Jammer]], escaped into a dell that was heavy in trees and ran along the river.

== Idols of Mine ==

=== Malcolm X ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ2mc8DJsyQ&NR I for one will join in with anyone, I don't care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this Earth]

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

=== George Orwell ===

Okay, so YouTube has a rather poor selection of Nineteen Eighty-Four clips, but that is inconsequential. George Orwell wrote arguably the best and easily the most haunting bleak future novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. His social commentary, brilliant mind, bleak settings and symbolism deserve him a place in the Annals of Literature. As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

== Editing Philosophy ==

Over the months I've been on Wikipedia and affilitated sites, I've developed a philosophy for editing that works well for me, and hopefully me fellow editors and SysOps. I attempt to put this into practice every time.

* I assume good faith.
* I condemn all personal attacks, and will remove them if they are too offensive.
* I have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Vandalism.
* I prefer to discuss large-scale changes (i.e. content additions) to articles on the talk page before changing anything.
* I respond to EVERY message I get on my talk page, although not necessarily right away. You can be safe knowing that ANYTHING you write will be answered at some point in time.
* I prefer communication and friendliness with other users.
* I am bold...with typo correction and small omissions.

== Caveat ==

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up. ''(Problem identified by the two SysOps above)''
* Certain wiki guidelines (i.e. the various naming conventions of [[Sharon Valerii]]). ''(Problem identified by [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]])''
* Figuring out who's who here (SysOp vs. member). ''(Problem identified by [[User: Steelviper|Steelviper]])''
* I go nuts with trivia and notes. An excellent example would be the Notes section of [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* BSG is filmed in Vancouver, and that city and its landmarks are featured in Colonial scenes. I try to base theories off of those screenshots, which is bad. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* I like to talk to people I'm friendly with here. To become wikifriends with me, you simply have to leave a note of any sort on my talk page. I will often contact you after that, and if I accidentally spam you or say something offensive, please correct me! ''(Hasn't happened yet, but just in case it does)''
* I get the feeling that I'm not bold enough (see Editing Philosophy section above). Tell me where the line between being bold and being reckless is if I goof up. ''(Problem identified by myself)''
* I can't figure out how to upload images. ''(Problme identified by myself)''

== Statement of My Mission on Battlestar Wiki ==

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

=== Directory of My Work ===

* [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]
* [[Cities of Caprica]] (Has since been deleted)
* [[Caprica 7]] (Deleted on my recommendation)
* [[Caprica Beach]]
* [[Caprica 5]]
* [[Channel 7 News]]
* [[The News-Review]]
* [[Gemini Freight]] (Turned into a redirect for ''Gemini'')

=== Statistics ===

In order to keep a track record of how I'm doing, I'm going to tally statistics of my articles that are kept and deleted.

'''Total Number of Articles Created'''
* 8
'''Number of Articles Deleted'''
* 2

'''CAUTION:''' THIS WILL BE RATHER SILLY

[[Image:Railgun.jpg|thumb|right|We have BIG GUNS on this Colony]]

[[Image:BattleofKobol.jpg|thumb|right|The Cylons apparently had a falling out with the Gould at some point...Why else would they be blowin up the Great Pyramids?]]

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

== WARNING! ==

Who do you think you are, Homeworld...whatever your true username is. You keep changing it every time we see you. Anywho, who do you think you are to go around cockily and make you userpage '''''humorous'''''? It's an outrage! A scandal!

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

''No actual users were harmed in the making of this satire on wiki politics. Any parallels with any other user's ideology or interests are unintended, and they should not be interpreted as being intended. I hold the utmost respect for policies here, and will always cite a source. I just like to poke fun every once in a while. If anyone takes offense to this, leave a note on my talk page where I will apologize and (GASP AND HORROR!) crack a joke.''

'''SPECIAL THANKS TO ''THE MEROVINGIAN,'' FOR INSPIRING THIS SECTION WITH HIS OWN LITTLE "V" SECTION'''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression. The following is the rise of dictators, and the beginnings of revolutions. Dictatorship and oppression is what happens when millions of people stop thinking and succumb to fear and terror. BE WARNED.

*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk2nDlTc1qY&NR Ideas are bulletproof...the Revolution begins]

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!

New Caprica City

2006-10-07T02:22:31Z

Homeworld: Power station

[[Image:NewCapricaCity.jpg|thumb|right|New Caprica City|250px]]
'''New Caprica City''' is the small colony that the Fleet makes on [[New Caprica]]. Its population is 39,192 as of "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]". The city is essentially a shanty town of makeshift buildings and tents with a small number of buildings built from grounded ships. The city's market place and commons area/athlectic courts are located near the interstellar ships. ''[[Colonial One]]'', the ''[[Astral Queen]]'', an [[Atmospheric shuttle]] and a [[Colonial Shuttle (TOS)|Colonial Shuttle]] sit just outside of town. Former President [[Laura Roslin]] ran the city's elementary school.

In [[Occupation]], Cylon occupation has caused some changes on the face of the city. While the humans still live in a shanty town of tents and a makeshift marketplace, the Cylons have built some permanent structures. The largest of these is the [[New Caprica Detention Center]], a concrete structure and walled compound which dominates the city's skyline. [[Laura Roslin]] and [[Colonel Saul Tigh]] were imprisoned in a subterranean cell in the prison's basement. Around the prison compound are apartments occupied by Cylons, including [[Leoben Conoy]] and [[Kara Thrace]]. The apartment of Conoy and Thrace is essentially concrete and utilitarian, barred off in the hallways by gates. However, the one occupied by Thrace and Conoy is furnished and contains artwork, and is more comfortable than the human tents. There is also a power distribution station whose generators were destroyed in the second suicide bombing of the Insurgency, wiping out power to half of the city. In addition to these structures, numerous watchtowers have been constructed in points throughout the city. At night, search lights on these towers illuminate the streets and tents below.

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

Okay, so YouTube has a rather poor selection of Nineteen Eighty-Four clips, but that is inconsequential. George Orwell wrote arguably the best and easily the most haunting bleak future novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. His social commentary, brilliant mind, bleak settings and symbolism deserve him a place in the Annals of Literature. As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

== Editing Philosophy ==

Over the months I've been on Wikipedia and affilitated sites, I've developed a philosophy for editing that works well for me, and hopefully me fellow editors and SysOps. I attempt to put this into practice every time.

* I assume good faith.
* I condemn all personal attacks, and will remove them if they are too offensive.
* I have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Vandalism.
* I prefer to discuss large-scale changes (i.e. content additions) to articles on the talk page before changing anything.
* I respond to EVERY message I get on my talk page, although not necessarily right away. You can be safe knowing that ANYTHING you write will be answered at some point in time.
* I prefer communication and friendliness with other users.
* I am bold...with typo correction and small omissions.

== Caveat ==

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up. ''(Problem identified by the two SysOps above)''
* Certain wiki guidelines (i.e. the various naming conventions of [[Sharon Valerii]]). ''(Problem identified by [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]])''
* Figuring out who's who here (SysOp vs. member). ''(Problem identified by [[User: Steelviper|Steelviper]])''
* I go nuts with trivia and notes. An excellent example would be the Notes section of [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* BSG is filmed in Vancouver, and that city and its landmarks are featured in Colonial scenes. I try to base theories off of those screenshots, which is bad. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* I like to talk to people I'm friendly with here. To become wikifriends with me, you simply have to leave a note of any sort on my talk page. I will often contact you after that, and if I accidentally spam you or say something offensive, please correct me! ''(Hasn't happened yet, but just in case it does)''
* I get the feeling that I'm not bold enough (see Editing Philosophy section above). Tell me where the line between being bold and being reckless is if I goof up. ''(Problem identified by myself)''
* I can't figure out how to upload images. ''(Problme identified by myself)''

== Statement of My Mission on Battlestar Wiki ==

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

=== Directory of My Work ===

* [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]
* [[Cities of Caprica]] (Has since been deleted)
* [[Caprica 7]] (Deleted on my recommendation)
* [[Caprica Beach]]
* [[Caprica 5]]
* [[Channel 7 News]]
* [[The News-Review]]
* [[Gemini Freight]] (Turned into a redirect for ''Gemini'')

== The Homeworld ==

'''CAUTION:''' THIS WILL BE RATHER SILLY

[[Image:Railgun.jpg|thumb|right|We have BIG GUNS on this Colony]]

[[Image:BattleofKobol.jpg|thumb|right|The Cylons apparently had a falling out with the Gould at some point...Why else would they be blowin up the Great Pyramids?]]

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

== WARNING! ==

Who do you think you are, Homeworld...whatever your true username is. You keep changing it every time we see you. Anywho, who do you think you are to go around cockily and make you userpage '''''humorous'''''? It's an outrage! A scandal!

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

''No actual users were harmed in the making of this satire on wiki politics. Any parallels with any other user's ideology or interests are unintended, and they should not be interpreted as being intended. I hold the utmost respect for policies here, and will always cite a source. I just like to poke fun every once in a while. If anyone takes offense to this, leave a note on my talk page where I will apologize and (GASP AND HORROR!) crack a joke.''

== If You See What I See, If You Feel As I Feel... ==

'''SPECIAL THANKS TO ''THE MEROVINGIAN,'' FOR INSPIRING THIS SECTION WITH HIS OWN LITTLE "V" SECTION'''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression. The following is the rise of dictators, and the beginnings of revolutions. Dictatorship and oppression is what happens when millions of people stop thinking and succumb to fear and terror. BE WARNED.

''"You gotta stand up for something, or you'll fall for anything"''.

*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KMlCeDnGoI&NR Remember, remember the 11th of September...]

*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk2nDlTc1qY&NR Ideas are bulletproof...the Revolution begins]

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!

Homeworld: Dead link

:''For the Video Game's "New Caprica", see [[New Caprica (Video Game)]].''

[[Image:NewCaprica.jpg|thumb|right|'''New Caprica''', as seen from space]]
'''New Caprica''' is the name given to the harsh but fairly habitable planet found by [[The Fleet (RDM)|The Fleet]]. It is discovered by [[Racetrack]] by mere happenstance -- after her [[Raptor]] [[FTL|Jumps]] to the wrong coordinates during a [[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I|rescue mission]] to [[The Twelve Colonies#Caprica|Caprica]]. Initial surveys revealed plants and animals on the surface, although they appeared to be confined to a temperate belt near the equator.

Due to the surrounding nebulae, [[DRADIS]] is rendered practically useless around New Caprica -- an attribute which makes the planet prime for colonization by the survivors of [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]]. With this news, and unable to join up with the other Raptors on the rescue mission, Racetrack returns to ''[[Galactica]]'' with information and sensor readings on the planet.

The planet later becomes a galvanizing issue that [[Tom Zarek]] believes -- correctly, as it turns out -- would swing the Presidential election vote in Baltar's favor ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]).

Upon [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]]'s ascension to the presidency, the President orders the colonization of the planet. Settling on the planet, the major population center on New Caprica becomes [[New Caprica City]]. Over a year after settlement, there are major shortages of basic living materials and medical supplies. Most of the population still live in canvas tents instead of permanent homes of some sort. It appears many among the population of [[New Caprica City]], including [[Galen Tyrol]] and the workers' union which he now leads, blame President [[Gaius Baltar]] and his lack of leadership as President for most or all of the continuing economic/social problems facing the settlers on [[New Caprica]] ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).

[[Image:NewCapricaCity.jpg|thumb|left|New Caprica City, complete with tents and a basic road infastructure]]

On the 380th day after colonization, the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] discover New Caprica, attracted by the energy signature caused by the detonation of a nuclear warhead that destroyed ''[[Cloud 9]]''. When the Cylon fleet jumps into orbit, the orbiting remains of the Fleet (including battlestars ''Galactica'' and ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'') [[FTL|Jump away]] to an unknown location while President Baltar surrenders ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]). The permanance of New Caprica as a homeworld for humanity under Cylon occupation is questionable.

The exact population of New Caprica City is 39,192.

Significant characters left behind on New Caprica when the Cylons arrive at the season 2 cliffhanger, "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]," include former President [[Laura Roslin]] and current President [[Gaius Baltar]], Colonel [[Saul Tigh]] and his wife [[Ellen Tigh|Ellen]], Major [[Cottle]], Captain [[Kara Thrace]] and her husband [[Samuel Anders]], Chief [[Galen Tyrol]] and his wife [[Cally]], Presidential aide [[Felix Gaeta]], [[Maya]] and her adopted daughter [[Hera|Isis]].

There are at least two ships of the Fleet seen at [[New Caprica City]]: ''[[Colonial One]]'' and the ''[[Astral Queen]]''. In addition there is at least one [[atmospheric shuttle]] and a [[Raptor]] used as a communications link to the Fleet in orbit.

Cylon facilities on New Caprica include the [[New Caprica Detention Center]] ([[Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance|The Resistance]]).

The Cylon occupation has lead to numerous security restrictions and heightened levels of control and repression on the planet. In [[Occupation]], there are nightly overflights of Cylon Raiders with searchlight sweeps. The [[New Caprica Police]] perpetrate crackdowns on Cylon-approved lists of supposed insurgents. There are also announcements over the municipal intercom system concerning food rations.

The government of New Caprica post-occupation is composed of the puppet administration of [[Gaius Baltar]], and is controlled by Cylon elements. The Baltar administration rules "in name only," according to [[Laura Roslin]]. Behind him, there are at least two Cylon-owned ministries. One operates the detention facility, the other internal security.

{{spoiltext|After the Cylons have occupied New Caprica, they began collaborating with President Baltar, creating a human police force aiding the Cylons. They wear black ski masks, blue body armor, and a green uniform with a white armband with a dark letter "C". They have been seen as prison guards and rounding up other citizens.}}

One operates the detention facility, the other internal security.

{{spoiltext|After the Cylons have occupied New Caprica, they began collaborating with President Baltar, creating a human police force aiding the Cylons. They wear black ski masks, blue body armor, and a green uniform with a white armband with a dark letter "C". They have been seen as prison guards and rounding up other citizens.}}

New Caprica City

2006-10-07T01:56:41Z

Homeworld: Proper noun

[[Image:NewCapricaCity.jpg|thumb|right|New Caprica City|250px]]
'''New Caprica City''' is the small colony that the Fleet makes on [[New Caprica]]. Its population is 39,192 as of "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]". The city is essentially a shanty town of makeshift buildings and tents with a small number of buildings built from grounded ships. The city's market place and commons area/athlectic courts are located near the interstellar ships. ''[[Colonial One]]'', the ''[[Astral Queen]]'', an [[Atmospheric shuttle]] and a [[Colonial Shuttle (TOS)|Colonial Shuttle]] sit just outside of town. Former President [[Laura Roslin]] ran the city's elementary school.

In [[Occupation]], Cylon occupation has caused some changes on the face of the city. While the humans still live in a shanty town of tents and a makeshift marketplace, the Cylons have built some permanent structures. The largest of these is the [[New Caprica Detention Center]], a concrete structure and walled compound which dominates the city's skyline. [[Laura Roslin]] and [[Colonel Saul Tigh]] were imprisoned in a subterranean cell in the prison's basement. Around the prison compound are apartments occupied by Cylons, including [[Leoben Conoy]] and [[Kara Thrace]]. The apartment of Conoy and Thrace is essentially concrete and utilitarian, barred off in the hallways by gates. However, the one occupied by Thrace and Conoy is furnished and contains artwork, and is more comfortable than the human tents. In addition to these structures, numerous watchtowers have been constructed in points throughout the city. At night, seach lights on these towers illuminate the streets and tents below.

Homeworld: Suicide bomb attack

[[Image:New Caprica Police Poster.jpg|200px|thumb|right|New Caprica Police Recruitment Poster "Keeping your streets safe!"]]
The '''New Caprica Police''' ('''NCP''') is a force of humans recruited by the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] to maintain order on [[New Caprica]]. Each wears a black [[Wikipedia:Balaclava|ski mask]], blue body armor, a green uniform, and a white armband with a dark letter "C". They are commonly seen as prison guards, rounding up other citizens and even beating up or shooting prisoners down.

In [[Occupation]], a graduating class of thirty-three cadets from the New Caprica Police Academy and some [[skinjobs]] VIP guests were killed in a suicide bomb attack on the graduation hall. The attack was planned and perpetrated by the Insurgency.

== Note ==

The recruiting poster seen in [[Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance]] depicts a man in black clothing, despite all police seen on duty being dressed as above.

== Idols of Mine ==

=== Malcolm X ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LukWzli19M The problem is still here]'''
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO6Co8v2XjY&mode=related&search= Nationalism is the wave of the future]'''

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ2mc8DJsyQ&NR I for one will join in with anyone, I don't care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this Earth]

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

=== George Orwell ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyrIj4CqVsc Who controls the past, controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past]'''

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFnHD1AlKEU&mode=related&search= Here comes a candle to light you to bed. Here comes a chopper to chop off your head.]

Okay, so YouTube has a rather poor selection of Nineteen Eighty-Four clips, but that is inconsequential. George Orwell wrote arguably the best and easily the most haunting bleak future novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. His social commentary, brilliant mind, bleak settings and symbolism deserve him a place in the Annals of Literature. As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

=== Stephen Colbert ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDLWqOCqngY&NR Stephen Colbert takes on the World Cup]

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

== Editing Philosophy ==

Over the months I've been on Wikipedia and affilitated sites, I've developed a philosophy for editing that works well for me, and hopefully me fellow editors and SysOps. I attempt to put this into practice every time.

* I assume good faith.
* I condemn all personal attacks, and will remove them if they are too offensive.
* I have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Vandalism.
* I prefer to discuss large-scale changes (i.e. content additions) to articles on the talk page before changing anything.
* I respond to EVERY message I get on my talk page, although not necessarily right away. You can be safe knowing that ANYTHING you write will be answered at some point in time.
* I prefer communication and friendliness with other users.
* I am bold...with typo correction and small omissions.

== Caveat ==

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up. ''(Problem identified by the two SysOps above)''
* Certain wiki guidelines (i.e. the various naming conventions of [[Sharon Valerii]]). ''(Problem identified by [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]])''
* Figuring out who's who here (SysOp vs. member). ''(Problem identified by [[User: Steelviper|Steelviper]])''
* I go nuts with trivia and notes. An excellent example would be the Notes section of [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* BSG is filmed in Vancouver, and that city and its landmarks are featured in Colonial scenes. I try to base theories off of those screenshots, which is bad. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* I like to talk to people I'm friendly with here. To become wikifriends with me, you simply have to leave a note of any sort on my talk page. I will often contact you after that, and if I accidentally spam you or say something offensive, please correct me! ''(Hasn't happened yet, but just in case it does)''
* I get the feeling that I'm not bold enough (see Editing Philosophy section above). Tell me where the line between being bold and being reckless is if I goof up. ''(Problem identified by myself)''
* I can't figure out how to upload images. ''(Problme identified by myself)''

== Statement of My Mission on Battlestar Wiki ==

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

* [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]
* [[Cities of Caprica]] (Has since been deleted)

'''CAUTION:''' THIS WILL BE RATHER SILLY

[[Image:BattleofKobol.jpg|thumb|right|The Cylons apparently had a falling out with the Gould at some point...Why else would they be blowin up the Great Pyramids?]]

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

== WARNING! ==

Who do you think you are, Homeworld...whatever your true username is. You keep changing it every time we see you. Anywho, who do you think you are to go around cockily and make you userpage '''''humorous'''''? It's an outrage! A scandal!

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

''No actual users were harmed in the making of this satire on wiki politics. Any parallels with any other user's ideology or interests are unintended, and they should not be interpreted as being intended. I hold the utmost respect for policies here, and will always cite a source. I just like to poke fun every once in a while. If anyone takes offense to this, leave a note on my talk page where I will apologize and (GASP AND HORROR!) crack a joke.''

'''SPECIAL THANKS TO ''THE MEROVINGIAN,'' FOR INSPIRING THIS SECTION WITH HIS OWN LITTLE "V" SECTION'''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression. The following is the rise of dictators, and the beginnings of revolutions. Dictatorship and oppression is what happens when millions of people stop thinking and succumb to fear and terror. BE WARNED.

''"You gotta stand up for something, or you'll fall for anything"''.

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

Okay, so YouTube has a rather poor selection of Nineteen Eighty-Four clips, but that is inconsequential. George Orwell wrote arguably the best and easily the most haunting bleak future novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. His social commentary, brilliant mind, bleak settings and symbolism deserve him a place in the Annals of Literature. As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

== Editing Philosophy ==

Over the months I've been on Wikipedia and affilitated sites, I've developed a philosophy for editing that works well for me, and hopefully me fellow editors and SysOps. I attempt to put this into practice every time.

* I assume good faith.
* I condemn all personal attacks, and will remove them if they are too offensive.
* I have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Vandalism.
* I prefer to discuss large-scale changes (i.e. content additions) to articles on the talk page before changing anything.
* I respond to EVERY message I get on my talk page, although not necessarily right away. You can be safe knowing that ANYTHING you write will be answered at some point in time.
* I prefer communication and friendliness with other users.
* I am bold...with typo correction and small omissions.

== Caveat ==

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up. ''(Problem identified by the two SysOps above)''
* Certain wiki guidelines (i.e. the various naming conventions of [[Sharon Valerii]]). ''(Problem identified by [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]])''
* Figuring out who's who here (SysOp vs. member). ''(Problem identified by [[User: Steelviper|Steelviper]])''
* I go nuts with trivia and notes. An excellent example would be the Notes section of [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* BSG is filmed in Vancouver, and that city and its landmarks are featured in Colonial scenes. I try to base theories off of those screenshots, which is bad. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* I like to talk to people I'm friendly with here. To become wikifriends with me, you simply have to leave a note of any sort on my talk page. I will often contact you after that, and if I accidentally spam you or say something offensive, please correct me! ''(Hasn't happened yet, but just in case it does)''
* I get the feeling that I'm not bold enough (see Editing Philosophy section above). Tell me where the line between being bold and being reckless is if I goof up. ''(Problem identified by myself)''
* I can't figure out how to upload images. ''(Problme identified by myself)''

== Statement of My Mission on Battlestar Wiki ==

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

=== Directory of My Work ===

* [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]
* [[Cities of Caprica]] (Has since been deleted)
* [[Caprica 7]] (Deleted on my recommendation)
* [[Caprica Beach]]
* [[Caprica 5]]
* [[Channel 7 News]]
* [[The News-Review]]
* [[Gemini Freight]] (Turned into a redirect for ''Gemini'')

=== Statistics ===

In order to keep a track record of how I'm doing, I'm going to tally statistics of my articles that are kept and deleted.

'''Total Number of Articles Created'''
* 8
'''Number of Articles Deleted'''
* 2
'''Number of Articles Redirected'''
* 1
'''Number of Articles Safe and Sound'''
* 5

=== Articles I Have Edited ===

* [[Caprica City]]
* [[Delphi]]
* [[Twelve Colonies (RDM)]]
* [[New Caprica City]]
* [[Arts and Literature of the Twelve Colonies]]
* [[Toaster]]

== The Homeworld ==

'''CAUTION:''' THIS WILL BE RATHER SILLY

[[Image:Railgun.jpg|thumb|right|We have BIG GUNS on this Colony]]
[[Image:BSGToaster.jpg|thumb|right|We like toast on The Homeworld (with butter and fruity preserves, of course)]]
[[Image:Cylonattack.jpg|thumb|right|Take that Speilberg!]]

[[Image:BattleofKobol.jpg|thumb|right|The Cylons apparently had a falling out with the Gould at some point...Why else would they be blowin up the Great Pyramids?]]

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

== WARNING! ==

Who do you think you are, Homeworld...whatever your true username is. You keep changing it every time we see you. Anywho, who do you think you are to go around cockily and make you userpage '''''humorous'''''? It's an outrage! A scandal!

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

''No actual users were harmed in the making of this satire on wiki politics. Any parallels with any other user's ideology or interests are unintended, and they should not be interpreted as being intended. I hold the utmost respect for policies here, and will always cite a source. I just like to poke fun every once in a while. If anyone takes offense to this, leave a note on my talk page where I will apologize and (GASP AND HORROR!) crack a joke.''

'''SPECIAL THANKS TO ''THE MEROVINGIAN,'' FOR INSPIRING THIS SECTION WITH HIS OWN LITTLE "V" SECTION'''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression. The following is the rise of dictators, and the beginnings of revolutions. Dictatorship and oppression is what happens when millions of people stop thinking and succumb to fear and terror. BE WARNED.

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!

As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up.

== Statement of My Mission on Battlestar Wiki ==

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

=== Directory of My Work ===

* [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]
* [[Cities of Caprica]] (Has since been deleted)
* [[Caprica 7]] (Deleted on my recommendation)
* [[Caprica Beach]]
* [[Caprica 5]]
* [[Channel 7 News]]
* [[The News-Review]]
* [[Gemini Freight]] (Turned into a redirect for ''Gemini'')

=== Statistics ===

In order to keep a track record of how I'm doing, I'm going to tally statistics of my articles that are kept and deleted.

'''Total Number of Articles Created'''
* 8
'''Number of Articles Deleted'''
* 2
'''Number of Articles Redirected'''
* 1
'''Number of Articles Safe and Sound'''

== The Homeworld ==

'''CAUTION:''' THIS WILL BE RATHER SILLY

[[Image:Railgun.jpg|thumb|right|We have BIG GUNS on this Colony]]
[[Image:BSGToaster.jpg|thumb|right|We like toast on The Homeworld (with butter and fruity preserves, of course)]]
[[Image:Cylonattack.jpg|thumb|right|Take that Speilberg!]]

[[Image:BattleofKobol.jpg|thumb|right|The Cylons apparently had a falling out with the Gould at some point...Why else would they be blowin up the Great Pyramids?]]

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

== WARNING! ==

Who do you think you are, Homeworld...whatever your true username is. You keep changing it every time we see you. Anywho, who do you think you are to go around cockily and make you userpage '''''humorous'''''? It's an outrage! A scandal!

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

''No actual users were harmed in the making of this satire on wiki politics. Any parallels with any other user's ideology or interests are unintended, and they should not be interpreted as being intended. I hold the utmost respect for policies here, and will always cite a source. I just like to poke fun every once in a while. If anyone takes offense to this, leave a note on my talk page where I will apologize and (GASP AND HORROR!) crack a joke.''

'''SPECIAL THANKS TO ''THE MEROVINGIAN,'' FOR INSPIRING THIS SECTION WITH HIS OWN LITTLE "V" SECTION'''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression. The following is the rise of dictators, and the beginnings of revolutions. Dictatorship and oppression is what happens when millions of people stop thinking and succumb to fear and terror. BE WARNED.

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

'''CAUTION:''' THIS WILL BE RATHER SILLY

[[Image:BattleofKobol.jpg|thumb|right|The Cylons apparently had a falling out with the Gould at some point...Why else would they be blowin up the Great Pyramids?]]

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

== WARNING! ==

Who do you think you are, Homeworld...whatever your true username is. You keep changing it every time we see you. Anywho, who do you think you are to go around cockily and make you userpage '''''humorous'''''? It's an outrage! A scandal!

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

''No actual users were harmed in the making of this satire on wiki politics. Any parallels with any other user's ideology or interests are unintended, and they should not be interpreted as being intended. I hold the utmost respect for policies here, and will always cite a source. I just like to poke fun every once in a while. If anyone takes offense to this, leave a note on my talk page where I will apologize and (GASP AND HORROR!) crack a joke.''

'''SPECIAL THANKS TO ''THE MEROVINGIAN,'' FOR INSPIRING THIS SECTION WITH HIS OWN LITTLE "V" SECTION'''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression. The following is the rise of dictators, and the beginnings of revolutions. Dictatorship and oppression is what happens when millions of people stop thinking and succumb to fear and terror. BE WARNED.

''"You gotta stand up for something, or you'll fall for anything"''.

*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk2nDlTc1qY&NR Ideas are bulletproof...the Revolution begins]

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!

=== Malcolm X ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ2mc8DJsyQ&NR I for one will join in with anyone, I don't care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this Earth]

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

=== George Orwell ===

Okay, so YouTube has a rather poor selection of Nineteen Eighty-Four clips, but that is inconsequential. George Orwell wrote arguably the best and easily the most haunting bleak future novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. His social commentary, brilliant mind, bleak settings and symbolism deserve him a place in the Annals of Literature. As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

== Editing Philosophy ==

Over the months I've been on Wikipedia and affilitated sites, I've developed a philosophy for editing that works well for me, and hopefully me fellow editors and SysOps. I attempt to put this into practice every time.

* I assume good faith.
* I condemn all personal attacks, and will remove them if they are too offensive.
* I have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Vandalism.
* I prefer to discuss large-scale changes (i.e. content additions) to articles on the talk page before changing anything.
* I respond to EVERY message I get on my talk page, although not necessarily right away. You can be safe knowing that ANYTHING you write will be answered at some point in time.
* I prefer communication and friendliness with other users.
* I am bold...with typo correction and small omissions.

== Caveat ==

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up. ''(Problem identified by the two SysOps above)''
* Certain wiki guidelines (i.e. the various naming conventions of [[Sharon Valerii]]). ''(Problem identified by [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]])''
* Figuring out who's who here (SysOp vs. member). ''(Problem identified by [[User: Steelviper|Steelviper]])''
* I go nuts with trivia and notes. An excellent example would be the Notes section of [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* BSG is filmed in Vancouver, and that city and its landmarks are featured in Colonial scenes. I try to base theories off of those screenshots, which is bad. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* I like to talk to people I'm friendly with here. To become wikifriends with me, you simply have to leave a note of any sort on my talk page. I will often contact you after that, and if I accidentally spam you or say something offensive, please correct me! ''(Hasn't happened yet, but just in case it does)''
* I get the feeling that I'm not bold enough (see Editing Philosophy section above). Tell me where the line between being bold and being reckless is if I goof up. ''(Problem identified by myself)''
* I can't figure out how to upload images. ''(Problme identified by myself)''

Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

== WARNING! ==

Who do you think you are, Homeworld...whatever your true username is. You keep changing it every time we see you. Anywho, who do you think you are to go around cockily and make you userpage '''''humorous'''''? It's an outrage! A scandal!

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

''No actual users were harmed in the making of this satire on wiki politics.

'''SPECIAL THANKS TO ''THE MEROVINGIAN,'' FOR INSPIRING THIS SECTION WITH HIS OWN LITTLE "V" SECTION'''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression. The following is the rise of dictators, and the beginnings of revolutions. Dictatorship and oppression is what happens when millions of people stop thinking and succumb to fear and terror. BE WARNED.

''"You gotta stand up for something, or you'll fall for anything"''.

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!

=== Malcolm X ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LukWzli19M The problem is still here]'''
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO6Co8v2XjY&mode=related&search= Nationalism is the wave of the future]'''

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ2mc8DJsyQ&NR I for one will join in with anyone, I don't care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this Earth]

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

=== George Orwell ===

Okay, so YouTube has a rather poor selection of Nineteen Eighty-Four clips, but that is inconsequential. George Orwell wrote arguably the best and easily the most haunting bleak future novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. His social commentary, brilliant mind, bleak settings and symbolism deserve him a place in the Annals of Literature. As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

== Editing Philosophy ==

Over the months I've been on Wikipedia and affilitated sites, I've developed a philosophy for editing that works well for me, and hopefully me fellow editors and SysOps. I attempt to put this into practice every time.

* I assume good faith.
* I condemn all personal attacks, and will remove them if they are too offensive.
* I have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Vandalism.
* I prefer to discuss large-scale changes (i.e. content additions) to articles on the talk page before changing anything.
* I respond to EVERY message I get on my talk page, although not necessarily right away. You can be safe knowing that ANYTHING you write will be answered at some point in time.
* I prefer communication and friendliness with other users.
* I am bold...with typo correction and small omissions.

== Caveat ==

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up. ''(Problem identified by the two SysOps above)''
* Certain wiki guidelines (i.e. the various naming conventions of [[Sharon Valerii]]). ''(Problem identified by [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]])''
* Figuring out who's who here (SysOp vs. member). ''(Problem identified by [[User: Steelviper|Steelviper]])''
* I go nuts with trivia and notes. An excellent example would be the Notes section of [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* BSG is filmed in Vancouver, and that city and its landmarks are featured in Colonial scenes. I try to base theories off of those screenshots, which is bad. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* I like to talk to people I'm friendly with here. To become wikifriends with me, you simply have to leave a note of any sort on my talk page. I will often contact you after that, and if I accidentally spam you or say something offensive, please correct me! ''(Hasn't happened yet, but just in case it does)''
* I get the feeling that I'm not bold enough (see Editing Philosophy section above). Tell me where the line between being bold and being reckless is if I goof up. ''(Problem identified by myself)''
* I can't figure out how to upload images. ''(Problme identified by myself)''

== Statement of My Mission on Battlestar Wiki ==

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

=== Directory of My Work ===

* [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]
* [[Cities of Caprica]] (Has since been deleted)
* [[Caprica 7]] (Deleted on my recommendation)
* [[Caprica Beach]]
* [[Caprica 5]]
* [[Channel 7 News]]
* [[The News-Review]]
* [[Gemini Freight]] (Turned into a redirect for ''Gemini'')

=== Statistics ===

In order to keep a track record of how I'm doing, I'm going to tally statistics of my articles that are kept and deleted.

'''Total Number of Articles Created'''
* 8
'''Number of Articles Deleted'''
* 2
'''Number of Articles Redirected'''
* 1
'''Number of Articles Safe and Sound'''
* 5

=== Articles I Have Edited ===

* [[Caprica City]]
* [[Delphi]]
* [[Twelve Colonies (RDM)]]
* [[New Caprica City]]
* [[Arts and Literature of the Twelve Colonies]]
* [[Toaster]]

== The Homeworld ==

'''CAUTION:''' THIS WILL BE RATHER SILLY

[[Image:Railgun.jpg|thumb|right|We have BIG GUNS on this Colony]]

[[Image:BattleofKobol.jpg|thumb|right|The Cylons apparently had a falling out with the Gould at some point...Why else would they be blowin up the Great Pyramids?]]

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints.

'''SPECIAL THANKS TO ''THE MEROVINGIAN,'' FOR INSPIRING THIS SECTION WITH HIS OWN LITTLE "V" SECTION'''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression. The following is the rise of dictators, and the beginnings of revolutions. Dictatorship and oppression is what happens when millions of people stop thinking and succumb to fear and terror. BE WARNED.

''"You gotta stand up for something, or you'll fall for anything"''.

*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk2nDlTc1qY&NR Ideas are bulletproof...the Revolution begins]

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!

=== Malcolm X ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LukWzli19M The problem is still here]'''

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ2mc8DJsyQ&NR I for one will join in with anyone, I don't care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this Earth]

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

=== George Orwell ===

Okay, so YouTube has a rather poor selection of Nineteen Eighty-Four clips, but that is inconsequential. George Orwell wrote arguably the best and easily the most haunting bleak future novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. His social commentary, brilliant mind, bleak settings and symbolism deserve him a place in the Annals of Literature. As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

== Editing Philosophy ==

Over the months I've been on Wikipedia and affilitated sites, I've developed a philosophy for editing that works well for me, and hopefully me fellow editors and SysOps. I attempt to put this into practice every time.

* I assume good faith.
* I condemn all personal attacks, and will remove them if they are too offensive.
* I have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Vandalism.
* I prefer to discuss large-scale changes (i.e. content additions) to articles on the talk page before changing anything.
* I respond to EVERY message I get on my talk page, although not necessarily right away. You can be safe knowing that ANYTHING you write will be answered at some point in time.
* I prefer communication and friendliness with other users.
* I am bold...with typo correction and small omissions.

== Caveat ==

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up. ''(Problem identified by the two SysOps above)''
* Certain wiki guidelines (i.e. the various naming conventions of [[Sharon Valerii]]). ''(Problem identified by [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]])''
* Figuring out who's who here (SysOp vs. member). ''(Problem identified by [[User: Steelviper|Steelviper]])''
* I go nuts with trivia and notes. An excellent example would be the Notes section of [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* BSG is filmed in Vancouver, and that city and its landmarks are featured in Colonial scenes. I try to base theories off of those screenshots, which is bad. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* I like to talk to people I'm friendly with here. To become wikifriends with me, you simply have to leave a note of any sort on my talk page. I will often contact you after that, and if I accidentally spam you or say something offensive, please correct me! ''(Hasn't happened yet, but just in case it does)''
* I get the feeling that I'm not bold enough (see Editing Philosophy section above). Tell me where the line between being bold and being reckless is if I goof up. ''(Problem identified by myself)''
* I can't figure out how to upload images. ''(Problme identified by myself)''

== Statement of My Mission on Battlestar Wiki ==

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

=== Directory of My Work ===

* [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]
* [[Cities of Caprica]] (Has since been deleted)
* [[Caprica 7]] (Deleted on my recommendation)
* [[Caprica Beach]]
* [[Caprica 5]]
* [[Channel 7 News]]
* [[The News-Review]]
* [[Gemini Freight]] (Turned into a redirect for ''Gemini'')

=== Statistics ===

In order to keep a track record of how I'm doing, I'm going to tally statistics of my articles that are kept and deleted.

'''Total Number of Articles Created'''
* 8
'''Number of Articles Deleted'''
* 2
'''Number of Articles Redirected'''
* 1
'''Number of Articles Safe and Sound'''
* 5

=== Articles I Have Edited ===

* [[Caprica City]]
* [[Delphi]]
* [[Twelve Colonies (RDM)]]
* [[New Caprica City]]
* [[Arts and Literature of the Twelve Colonies]]
* [[Toaster]]

== The Homeworld ==

'''CAUTION:''' THIS WILL BE RATHER SILLY

[[Image:Railgun.jpg|thumb|right|We have BIG GUNS on this Colony]]
[[Image:BSGToaster.jpg|thumb|right|We like toast on The Homeworld (with butter and fruity preserves, of course)]]
[[Image:Cylonattack.jpg|thumb|right|Take that Speilberg!]]

[[Image:BattleofKobol.jpg|thumb|right|The Cylons apparently had a falling out with the Gould at some point...Why else would they be blowin up the Great Pyramids?]]

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

== WARNING! ==

Who do you think you are, Homeworld...whatever your true username is. You keep changing it every time we see you. Anywho, who do you think you are to go around cockily and make you userpage '''''humorous'''''? It's an outrage! A scandal!

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

''No actual users were harmed in the making of this satire on wiki politics. Any parallels with any other user's ideology or interests are unintended, and they should not be interpreted as being intended. I hold the utmost respect for policies here, and will always cite a source. I just like to poke fun every once in a while. If anyone takes offense to this, leave a note on my talk page where I will apologize and (GASP AND HORROR!) crack a joke.''

== Idols of Mine ==

=== Malcolm X ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ2mc8DJsyQ&NR I for one will join in with anyone, I don't care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this Earth]

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

=== George Orwell ===

Okay, so YouTube has a rather poor selection of Nineteen Eighty-Four clips, but that is inconsequential. George Orwell wrote arguably the best and easily the most haunting bleak future novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. His social commentary, brilliant mind, bleak settings and symbolism deserve him a place in the Annals of Literature. As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

== Editing Philosophy ==

Over the months I've been on Wikipedia and affilitated sites, I've developed a philosophy for editing that works well for me, and hopefully me fellow editors and SysOps. I attempt to put this into practice every time.

* I assume good faith.
* I condemn all personal attacks, and will remove them if they are too offensive.
* I have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Vandalism.
* I prefer to discuss large-scale changes (i.e. content additions) to articles on the talk page before changing anything.
* I respond to EVERY message I get on my talk page, although not necessarily right away. You can be safe knowing that ANYTHING you write will be answered at some point in time.
* I prefer communication and friendliness with other users.
* I am bold...with typo correction and small omissions.

== Caveat ==

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up. ''(Problem identified by the two SysOps above)''
* Certain wiki guidelines (i.e. the various naming conventions of [[Sharon Valerii]]). ''(Problem identified by [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]])''
* Figuring out who's who here (SysOp vs. member). ''(Problem identified by [[User: Steelviper|Steelviper]])''
* I go nuts with trivia and notes. An excellent example would be the Notes section of [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* BSG is filmed in Vancouver, and that city and its landmarks are featured in Colonial scenes. I try to base theories off of those screenshots, which is bad. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* I like to talk to people I'm friendly with here. To become wikifriends with me, you simply have to leave a note of any sort on my talk page. I will often contact you after that, and if I accidentally spam you or say something offensive, please correct me! ''(Hasn't happened yet, but just in case it does)''
* I get the feeling that I'm not bold enough (see Editing Philosophy section above). Tell me where the line between being bold and being reckless is if I goof up. ''(Problem identified by myself)''
* I can't figure out how to upload images. ''(Problme identified by myself)''

== Statement of My Mission on Battlestar Wiki ==

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

=== Directory of My Work ===

* [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]
* [[Cities of Caprica]] (Has since been deleted)
* [[Caprica 7]] (Deleted on my recommendation)
* [[Caprica Beach]]
* [[Caprica 5]]
* [[Channel 7 News]]
* [[The News-Review]]
* [[Gemini Freight]] (Turned into a redirect for ''Gemini'')

=== Statistics ===

In order to keep a track record of how I'm doing, I'm going to tally statistics of my articles that are kept and deleted.

'''Total Number of Articles Created'''
* 8
'''Number of Articles Deleted'''
* 2
'''Number of Articles Redirected'''
* 1
'''Number of Articles Safe and Sound'''
* 5

=== Articles I Have Edited ===

* [[Caprica City]]
* [[Delphi]]
* [[Twelve Colonies (RDM)]]
* [[New Caprica City]]
* [[Arts and Literature of the Twelve Colonies]]
* [[Toaster]]

== The Homeworld ==

'''CAUTION:''' THIS WILL BE RATHER SILLY

[[Image:Railgun.jpg|thumb|right|We have BIG GUNS on this Colony]]
[[Image:BSGToaster.jpg|thumb|right|We like toast on The Homeworld (with butter and fruity preserves, of course)]]
[[Image:Cylonattack.jpg|thumb|right|Take that Speilberg!]]

[[Image:BattleofKobol.jpg|thumb|right|The Cylons apparently had a falling out with the Gould at some point...Why else would they be blowin up the Great Pyramids?]]

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

== WARNING! ==

Who do you think you are, Homeworld...whatever your true username is. You keep changing it every time we see you. Anywho, who do you think you are to go around cockily and make you userpage '''''humorous'''''? It's an outrage! A scandal!

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

''No actual users were harmed in the making of this satire on wiki politics. Any parallels with any other user's ideology or interests are unintended, and they should not be interpreted as being intended. I hold the utmost respect for policies here, and will always cite a source. I just like to poke fun every once in a while. If anyone takes offense to this, leave a note on my talk page where I will apologize and (GASP AND HORROR!) crack a joke.''

'''SPECIAL THANKS TO ''THE MEROVINGIAN,'' FOR INSPIRING THIS SECTION WITH HIS OWN LITTLE "V" SECTION'''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression. The following is the rise of dictators, and the beginnings of revolutions. Dictatorship and oppression is what happens when millions of people stop thinking and succumb to fear and terror. BE WARNED.

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

== Editing Philosophy ==

Over the months I've been on Wikipedia and affilitated sites, I've developed a philosophy for editing that works well for me, and hopefully me fellow editors and SysOps. I attempt to put this into practice every time.

* I assume good faith.
* I condemn all personal attacks, and will remove them if they are too offensive.
* I have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Vandalism.
* I prefer to discuss large-scale changes (i.e. content additions) to articles on the talk page before changing anything.
* I respond to EVERY message I get on my talk page, although not necessarily right away. You can be safe knowing that ANYTHING you write will be answered at some point in time.
* I prefer communication and friendliness with other users.
* I am bold...with typo correction and small omissions.

== Caveat ==

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up. ''(Problem identified by the two SysOps above)''
* Certain wiki guidelines (i.e. the various naming conventions of [[Sharon Valerii]]). ''(Problem identified by [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]])''
* Figuring out who's who here (SysOp vs. member). ''(Problem identified by [[User: Steelviper|Steelviper]])''
* I go nuts with trivia and notes. An excellent example would be the Notes section of [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* BSG is filmed in Vancouver, and that city and its landmarks are featured in Colonial scenes. I try to base theories off of those screenshots, which is bad. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* I like to talk to people I'm friendly with here. To become wikifriends with me, you simply have to leave a note of any sort on my talk page. I will often contact you after that, and if I accidentally spam you or say something offensive, please correct me! ''(Hasn't happened yet, but just in case it does)''
* I get the feeling that I'm not bold enough (see Editing Philosophy section above). Tell me where the line between being bold and being reckless is if I goof up. ''(Problem identified by myself)''
* I can't figure out how to upload images. ''(Problme identified by myself)''

== Statement of My Mission on Battlestar Wiki ==

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

=== Directory of My Work ===

* [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]
* [[Cities of Caprica]] (Has since been deleted)

'''CAUTION:''' THIS WILL BE RATHER SILLY

[[Image:Railgun.jpg|thumb|right|We have BIG GUNS on this Colony]]
[[Image:BSGToaster.jpg|thumb|right|We like toast on The Homeworld (with butter and fruity preserves, of course)]]
[[Image:Cylonattack.jpg|thumb|right|Take that Speilberg!]]

[[Image:BattleofKobol.jpg|thumb|right|The Cylons apparently had a falling out with the Gould at some point...Why else would they be blowin up the Great Pyramids?]]

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

== WARNING! ==

Who do you think you are, Homeworld...whatever your true username is. You keep changing it every time we see you. Anywho, who do you think you are to go around cockily and make you userpage '''''humorous'''''? It's an outrage! A scandal!

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

''No actual users were harmed in the making of this satire on wiki politics. Any parallels with any other user's ideology or interests are unintended, and they should not be interpreted as being intended. I hold the utmost respect for policies here, and will always cite a source. I just like to poke fun every once in a while. If anyone takes offense to this, leave a note on my talk page where I will apologize and (GASP AND HORROR!) crack a joke.''

'''SPECIAL THANKS TO ''THE MEROVINGIAN,'' FOR INSPIRING THIS SECTION WITH HIS OWN LITTLE "V" SECTION'''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression. The following is the rise of dictators, and the beginnings of revolutions. Dictatorship and oppression is what happens when millions of people stop thinking and succumb to fear and terror. BE WARNED.

''"You gotta stand up for something, or you'll fall for anything"''.

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!

=== Malcolm X ===

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

Okay, so YouTube has a rather poor selection of Nineteen Eighty-Four clips, but that is inconsequential. George Orwell wrote arguably the best and easily the most haunting bleak future novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. His social commentary, brilliant mind, bleak settings and symbolism deserve him a place in the Annals of Literature. As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

'''CAUTION:''' THIS WILL BE RATHER SILLY

[[Image:BattleofKobol.jpg|thumb|right|The Cylons apparently had a falling out with the Gould at some point...Why else would they be blowin up the Great Pyramids?]]

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

== WARNING! ==

Who do you think you are, Homeworld...whatever your true username is. You keep changing it every time we see you. Anywho, who do you think you are to go around cockily and make you userpage '''''humorous'''''? It's an outrage! A scandal!

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

''No actual users were harmed in the making of this satire on wiki politics. Any parallels with any other user's ideology or interests are unintended, and they should not be interpreted as being intended. I hold the utmost respect for policies here, and will always cite a source. I just like to poke fun every once in a while. If anyone takes offense to this, leave a note on my talk page where I will apologize and (GASP AND HORROR!) crack a joke.''

'''SPECIAL THANKS TO ''THE MEROVINGIAN,'' FOR INSPIRING THIS SECTION WITH HIS OWN LITTLE "V" SECTION'''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression. The following is the rise of dictators, and the beginnings of revolutions. Dictatorship and oppression is what happens when millions of people stop thinking and succumb to fear and terror. BE WARNED.

''"You gotta stand up for something, or you'll fall for anything"''.

*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk2nDlTc1qY&NR Ideas are bulletproof...the Revolution begins]

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!

=== Malcolm X ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ2mc8DJsyQ&NR I for one will join in with anyone, I don't care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this Earth]

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

=== George Orwell ===

Okay, so YouTube has a rather poor selection of Nineteen Eighty-Four clips, but that is inconsequential. George Orwell wrote arguably the best and easily the most haunting bleak future novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. His social commentary, brilliant mind, bleak settings and symbolism deserve him a place in the Annals of Literature. As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

== Editing Philosophy ==

Over the months I've been on Wikipedia and affilitated sites, I've developed a philosophy for editing that works well for me, and hopefully me fellow editors and SysOps. I attempt to put this into practice every time.

* I assume good faith.
* I condemn all personal attacks, and will remove them if they are too offensive.
* I have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Vandalism.
* I prefer to discuss large-scale changes (i.e. content additions) to articles on the talk page before changing anything.
* I respond to EVERY message I get on my talk page, although not necessarily right away. You can be safe knowing that ANYTHING you write will be answered at some point in time.
* I prefer communication and friendliness with other users.
* I am bold...with typo correction and small omissions.

== Caveat ==

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up. ''(Problem identified by the two SysOps above)''
* Certain wiki guidelines (i.e. the various naming conventions of [[Sharon Valerii]]). ''(Problem identified by [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]])''
* Figuring out who's who here (SysOp vs. member). ''(Problem identified by [[User: Steelviper|Steelviper]])''
* I go nuts with trivia and notes. An excellent example would be the Notes section of [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* BSG is filmed in Vancouver, and that city and its landmarks are featured in Colonial scenes. I try to base theories off of those screenshots, which is bad. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* I like to talk to people I'm friendly with here. To become wikifriends with me, you simply have to leave a note of any sort on my talk page. I will often contact you after that, and if I accidentally spam you or say something offensive, please correct me! ''(Hasn't happened yet, but just in case it does)''
* I get the feeling that I'm not bold enough (see Editing Philosophy section above). Tell me where the line between being bold and being reckless is if I goof up. ''(Problem identified by myself)''
* I can't figure out how to upload images. ''(Problme identified by myself)''

== Statement of My Mission on Battlestar Wiki ==

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints.

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

'''SPECIAL THANKS TO ''THE MEROVINGIAN,'' FOR INSPIRING THIS SECTION WITH HIS OWN LITTLE "V" SECTION'''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression. The following is the rise of dictators, and the beginnings of revolutions. Dictatorship and oppression is what happens when millions of people stop thinking and succumb to fear and terror. BE WARNED.

''"You gotta stand up for something, or you'll fall for anything"''.

*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk2nDlTc1qY&NR Ideas are bulletproof...the Revolution begins]

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!

== Idols of Mine ==

=== Malcolm X ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LukWzli19M The problem is still here]'''
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO6Co8v2XjY&mode=related&search= Nationalism is the wave of the future]'''

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ2mc8DJsyQ&NR I for one will join in with anyone, I don't care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this Earth]

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

=== George Orwell ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyrIj4CqVsc Who controls the past, controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past]'''

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFnHD1AlKEU&mode=related&search= Here comes a candle to light you to bed. Here comes a chopper to chop off your head.]

Okay, so YouTube has a rather poor selection of Nineteen Eighty-Four clips, but that is inconsequential. George Orwell wrote arguably the best and easily the most haunting bleak future novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. His social commentary, brilliant mind, bleak settings and symbolism deserve him a place in the Annals of Literature. As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDLWqOCqngY&NR Stephen Colbert takes on the World Cup]

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

== Editing Philosophy ==

Over the months I've been on Wikipedia and affilitated sites, I've developed a philosophy for editing that works well for me, and hopefully me fellow editors and SysOps. I attempt to put this into practice every time.

* I assume good faith.
* I condemn all personal attacks, and will remove them if they are too offensive.
* I have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Vandalism.
* I prefer to discuss large-scale changes (i.e. content additions) to articles on the talk page before changing anything.
* I respond to EVERY message I get on my talk page, although not necessarily right away. You can be safe knowing that ANYTHING you write will be answered at some point in time.
* I prefer communication and friendliness with other users.
* I am bold...with typo correction and small omissions.

== Caveat ==

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up. ''(Problem identified by the two SysOps above)''
* Certain wiki guidelines (i.e. the various naming conventions of [[Sharon Valerii]]). ''(Problem identified by [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]])''
* Figuring out who's who here (SysOp vs. member). ''(Problem identified by [[User: Steelviper|Steelviper]])''
* I go nuts with trivia and notes. An excellent example would be the Notes section of [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* BSG is filmed in Vancouver, and that city and its landmarks are featured in Colonial scenes. I try to base theories off of those screenshots, which is bad. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* I like to talk to people I'm friendly with here. To become wikifriends with me, you simply have to leave a note of any sort on my talk page. I will often contact you after that, and if I accidentally spam you or say something offensive, please correct me! ''(Hasn't happened yet, but just in case it does)''
* I get the feeling that I'm not bold enough (see Editing Philosophy section above). Tell me where the line between being bold and being reckless is if I goof up. ''(Problem identified by myself)''
* I can't figure out how to upload images. ''(Problme identified by myself)''

== Statement of My Mission on Battlestar Wiki ==

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

=== Directory of My Work ===

* [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]
* [[Cities of Caprica]] (Has since been deleted)
* [[Caprica 7]] (Deleted on my recommendation)
* [[Caprica Beach]]
* [[Caprica 5]]
* [[Channel 7 News]]
* [[The News-Review]]
* [[Gemini Freight]] (Turned into a redirect for ''Gemini'')

=== Statistics ===

In order to keep a track record of how I'm doing, I'm going to tally statistics of my articles that are kept and deleted.

'''Total Number of Articles Created'''
* 8
'''Number of Articles Deleted'''
* 2
'''Number of Articles Redirected'''
* 1
'''Number of Articles Safe and Sound'''
* 5

=== Articles I Have Edited ===

* [[Caprica City]]
* [[Delphi]]
* [[Twelve Colonies (RDM)]]
* [[New Caprica City]]
* [[Arts and Literature of the Twelve Colonies]]
* [[Toaster]]

== The Homeworld ==

'''CAUTION:''' THIS WILL BE RATHER SILLY

[[Image:Railgun.jpg|thumb|right|We have BIG GUNS on this Colony]]
[[Image:BSGToaster.jpg|thumb|right|We like toast on The Homeworld (with butter and fruity preserves, of course)]]

[[Image:BattleofKobol.jpg|thumb|right|The Cylons apparently had a falling out with the Gould at some point...Why else would they be blowin up the Great Pyramids?]]

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!

=== Malcolm X ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ2mc8DJsyQ&NR I for one will join in with anyone, I don't care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this Earth]

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

=== George Orwell ===

Okay, so YouTube has a rather poor selection of Nineteen Eighty-Four clips, but that is inconsequential. George Orwell wrote arguably the best and easily the most haunting bleak future novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. His social commentary, brilliant mind, bleak settings and symbolism deserve him a place in the Annals of Literature. As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

== Editing Philosophy ==

Over the months I've been on Wikipedia and affilitated sites, I've developed a philosophy for editing that works well for me, and hopefully me fellow editors and SysOps. I attempt to put this into practice every time.

* I assume good faith.
* I condemn all personal attacks, and will remove them if they are too offensive.
* I have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Vandalism.
* I prefer to discuss large-scale changes (i.e. content additions) to articles on the talk page before changing anything.
* I respond to EVERY message I get on my talk page, although not necessarily right away. You can be safe knowing that ANYTHING you write will be answered at some point in time.
* I prefer communication and friendliness with other users.
* I am bold...with typo correction and small omissions.

== Caveat ==

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up. ''(Problem identified by the two SysOps above)''
* Certain wiki guidelines (i.e. the various naming conventions of [[Sharon Valerii]]). ''(Problem identified by [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]])''
* Figuring out who's who here (SysOp vs. member). ''(Problem identified by [[User: Steelviper|Steelviper]])''
* I go nuts with trivia and notes. An excellent example would be the Notes section of [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* BSG is filmed in Vancouver, and that city and its landmarks are featured in Colonial scenes. I try to base theories off of those screenshots, which is bad. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* I like to talk to people I'm friendly with here. To become wikifriends with me, you simply have to leave a note of any sort on my talk page. I will often contact you after that, and if I accidentally spam you or say something offensive, please correct me! ''(Hasn't happened yet, but just in case it does)''
* I get the feeling that I'm not bold enough (see Editing Philosophy section above). Tell me where the line between being bold and being reckless is if I goof up. ''(Problem identified by myself)''
* I can't figure out how to upload images. ''(Problme identified by myself)''

== Statement of My Mission on Battlestar Wiki ==

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

=== Directory of My Work ===

* [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]
* [[Cities of Caprica]] (Has since been deleted)
* [[Caprica 7]] (Deleted on my recommendation)
* [[Caprica Beach]]
* [[Caprica 5]]
* [[Channel 7 News]]
* [[The News-Review]]
* [[Gemini Freight]] (Turned into a redirect for ''Gemini'')

=== Statistics ===

In order to keep a track record of how I'm doing, I'm going to tally statistics of my articles that are kept and deleted.

'''Total Number of Articles Created'''
* 8
'''Number of Articles Deleted'''
* 2
'''Number of Articles Redirected'''
* 1
'''Number of Articles Safe and Sound'''
* 5

=== Articles I Have Edited ===

* [[Caprica City]]
* [[Delphi]]
* [[Twelve Colonies (RDM)]]
* [[New Caprica City]]
* [[Arts and Literature of the Twelve Colonies]]
* [[Toaster]]

'''CAUTION:''' THIS WILL BE RATHER SILLY

[[Image:Railgun.jpg|thumb|right|We have BIG GUNS on this Colony]]
[[Image:BSGToaster.jpg|thumb|right|We like toast on The Homeworld (with butter and fruity preserves, of course)]]
[[Image:Cylonattack.jpg|thumb|right|Take that Speilberg!]]

[[Image:BattleofKobol.jpg|thumb|right|The Cylons apparently had a falling out with the Gould at some point...Why else would they be blowin up the Great Pyramids?]]

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

== WARNING! ==

Who do you think you are, Homeworld...whatever your true username is. You keep changing it every time we see you. Anywho, who do you think you are to go around cockily and make you userpage '''''humorous'''''? It's an outrage! A scandal!

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

''No actual users were harmed in the making of this satire on wiki politics. Any parallels with any other user's ideology or interests are unintended, and they should not be interpreted as being intended. I hold the utmost respect for policies here, and will always cite a source. I just like to poke fun every once in a while. If anyone takes offense to this, leave a note on my talk page where I will apologize and (GASP AND HORROR!) crack a joke.''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression.

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

Okay, so YouTube has a rather poor selection of Nineteen Eighty-Four clips, but that is inconsequential. George Orwell wrote arguably the best and easily the most haunting bleak future novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. His social commentary, brilliant mind, bleak settings and symbolism deserve him a place in the Annals of Literature. As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

== Editing Philosophy ==

Over the months I've been on Wikipedia and affilitated sites, I've developed a philosophy for editing that works well for me, and hopefully me fellow editors and SysOps. I attempt to put this into practice every time.

* I assume good faith.
* I condemn all personal attacks, and will remove them if they are too offensive.
* I have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Vandalism.
* I prefer to discuss large-scale changes (i.e. content additions) to articles on the talk page before changing anything.
* I respond to EVERY message I get on my talk page, although not necessarily right away. You can be safe knowing that ANYTHING you write will be answered at some point in time.
* I prefer communication and friendliness with other users.
* I am bold...with typo correction and small omissions.

== Caveat ==

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up. ''(Problem identified by the two SysOps above)''
* Certain wiki guidelines (i.e. the various naming conventions of [[Sharon Valerii]]). ''(Problem identified by [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]])''
* Figuring out who's who here (SysOp vs. member). ''(Problem identified by [[User: Steelviper|Steelviper]])''
* I go nuts with trivia and notes. An excellent example would be the Notes section of [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* BSG is filmed in Vancouver, and that city and its landmarks are featured in Colonial scenes. I try to base theories off of those screenshots, which is bad. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* I like to talk to people I'm friendly with here. To become wikifriends with me, you simply have to leave a note of any sort on my talk page. I will often contact you after that, and if I accidentally spam you or say something offensive, please correct me! ''(Hasn't happened yet, but just in case it does)''
* I get the feeling that I'm not bold enough (see Editing Philosophy section above). Tell me where the line between being bold and being reckless is if I goof up. ''(Problem identified by myself)''
* I can't figure out how to upload images. ''(Problme identified by myself)''

== Statement of My Mission on Battlestar Wiki ==

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

=== Directory of My Work ===

* [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]
* [[Cities of Caprica]] (Has since been deleted)
* [[Caprica 7]] (Deleted on my recommendation)
* [[Caprica Beach]]
* [[Caprica 5]]
* [[Channel 7 News]]
* [[The News-Review]]
* [[Gemini Freight]] (Turned into a redirect for ''Gemini'')

=== Statistics ===

In order to keep a track record of how I'm doing, I'm going to tally statistics of my articles that are kept and deleted.

'''Total Number of Articles Created'''
* 8
'''Number of Articles Deleted'''
* 2
'''Number of Articles Redirected'''
* 1
'''Number of Articles Safe and Sound'''

== The Homeworld ==

'''CAUTION:''' THIS WILL BE RATHER SILLY

[[Image:Railgun.jpg|thumb|right|We have BIG GUNS on this Colony]]
[[Image:BSGToaster.jpg|thumb|right|We like toast on The Homeworld (with butter and fruity preserves, of course)]]
[[Image:Cylonattack.jpg|thumb|right|Take that Speilberg!]]
[[Image:CapricaMessage.jpg|thumb|right|Oh George Lucas. You poor, poor fool for sueing BSG.]]
[[Image:BattleofKobol.jpg|thumb|right|The Cylons apparently had a falling out with the Gould at some point...Why else would they be blowin up the Great Pyramids?]]

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

== WARNING! ==

Who do you think you are, Homeworld...whatever your true username is. You keep changing it every time we see you. Anywho, who do you think you are to go around cockily and make you userpage '''''humorous'''''? It's an outrage! A scandal!

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

''No actual users were harmed in the making of this satire on wiki politics. Any parallels with any other user's ideology or interests are unintended, and they should not be interpreted as being intended. I hold the utmost respect for policies here, and will always cite a source. I just like to poke fun every once in a while. If anyone takes offense to this, leave a note on my talk page where I will apologize and (GASP AND HORROR!) crack a joke.''

'''SPECIAL THANKS TO ''THE MEROVINGIAN,'' FOR INSPIRING THIS SECTION WITH HIS OWN LITTLE "V" SECTION'''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression. The following is the rise of dictators, and the beginnings of revolutions. Dictatorship and oppression is what happens when millions of people stop thinking and succumb to fear and terror. BE WARNED.

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!

== Statement of My Mission on Battlestar Wiki ==

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

'''CAUTION:''' THIS WILL BE RATHER SILLY

[[Image:Railgun.jpg|thumb|right|We have BIG GUNS on this Colony]]
[[Image:BSGToaster.jpg|thumb|right|We like toast on The Homeworld (with butter and fruity preserves, of course)]]

[[Image:CapricaMessage.jpg|thumb|right|Oh George Lucas. You poor, poor fool for sueing BSG.]]
[[Image:BattleofKobol.jpg|thumb|right|The Cylons apparently had a falling out with the Gould at some point...Why else would they be blowin up the Great Pyramids?]]

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

== WARNING! ==

Who do you think you are, Homeworld...whatever your true username is. You keep changing it every time we see you. Anywho, who do you think you are to go around cockily and make you userpage '''''humorous'''''? It's an outrage! A scandal!

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

''No actual users were harmed in the making of this satire on wiki politics. Any parallels with any other user's ideology or interests are unintended, and they should not be interpreted as being intended. I hold the utmost respect for policies here, and will always cite a source. I just like to poke fun every once in a while. If anyone takes offense to this, leave a note on my talk page where I will apologize and (GASP AND HORROR!) crack a joke.''

'''SPECIAL THANKS TO ''THE MEROVINGIAN,'' FOR INSPIRING THIS SECTION WITH HIS OWN LITTLE "V" SECTION'''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression. The following is the rise of dictators, and the beginnings of revolutions. Dictatorship and oppression is what happens when millions of people stop thinking and succumb to fear and terror. BE WARNED.

''"You gotta stand up for something, or you'll fall for anything"''.

*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk2nDlTc1qY&NR Ideas are bulletproof...the Revolution begins]

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!

=== Malcolm X ===

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

=== George Orwell ===

Okay, so YouTube has a rather poor selection of Nineteen Eighty-Four clips, but that is inconsequential. George Orwell wrote arguably the best and easily the most haunting bleak future novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. His social commentary, brilliant mind, bleak settings and symbolism deserve him a place in the Annals of Literature. As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

== Editing Philosophy ==

Over the months I've been on Wikipedia and affilitated sites, I've developed a philosophy for editing that works well for me, and hopefully me fellow editors and SysOps. I attempt to put this into practice every time.

* I assume good faith.
* I condemn all personal attacks, and will remove them if they are too offensive.
* I have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Vandalism.
* I prefer to discuss large-scale changes (i.e. content additions) to articles on the talk page before changing anything.
* I respond to EVERY message I get on my talk page, although not necessarily right away. You can be safe knowing that ANYTHING you write will be answered at some point in time.
* I prefer communication and friendliness with other users.
* I am bold...with typo correction and small omissions.

== Caveat ==

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up. ''(Problem identified by the two SysOps above)''
* Certain wiki guidelines (i.e. the various naming conventions of [[Sharon Valerii]]). ''(Problem identified by [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]])''
* Figuring out who's who here (SysOp vs. member). ''(Problem identified by [[User: Steelviper|Steelviper]])''
* I go nuts with trivia and notes. An excellent example would be the Notes section of [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* BSG is filmed in Vancouver, and that city and its landmarks are featured in Colonial scenes. I try to base theories off of those screenshots, which is bad. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* I like to talk to people I'm friendly with here. To become wikifriends with me, you simply have to leave a note of any sort on my talk page. I will often contact you after that, and if I accidentally spam you or say something offensive, please correct me! ''(Hasn't happened yet, but just in case it does)''
* I get the feeling that I'm not bold enough (see Editing Philosophy section above). Tell me where the line between being bold and being reckless is if I goof up. ''(Problem identified by myself)''
* I can't figure out how to upload images. ''(Problme identified by myself)''

A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

== WARNING! ==

Who do you think you are, Homeworld...whatever your true username is. You keep changing it every time we see you. Anywho, who do you think you are to go around cockily and make you userpage '''''humorous'''''? It's an outrage! A scandal!

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

'''SPECIAL THANKS TO ''THE MEROVINGIAN,'' FOR INSPIRING THIS SECTION WITH HIS OWN LITTLE "V" SECTION'''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression. The following is the rise of dictators, and the beginnings of revolutions. Dictatorship and oppression is what happens when millions of people stop thinking and succumb to fear and terror. BE WARNED.

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!

=== Malcolm X ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ2mc8DJsyQ&NR I for one will join in with anyone, I don't care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this Earth]

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

=== George Orwell ===

Okay, so YouTube has a rather poor selection of Nineteen Eighty-Four clips, but that is inconsequential. George Orwell wrote arguably the best and easily the most haunting bleak future novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. His social commentary, brilliant mind, bleak settings and symbolism deserve him a place in the Annals of Literature. As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

== Editing Philosophy ==

Over the months I've been on Wikipedia and affilitated sites, I've developed a philosophy for editing that works well for me, and hopefully me fellow editors and SysOps. I attempt to put this into practice every time.

* I assume good faith.
* I condemn all personal attacks, and will remove them if they are too offensive.
* I have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Vandalism.
* I prefer to discuss large-scale changes (i.e. content additions) to articles on the talk page before changing anything.
* I respond to EVERY message I get on my talk page, although not necessarily right away. You can be safe knowing that ANYTHING you write will be answered at some point in time.
* I prefer communication and friendliness with other users.
* I am bold...with typo correction and small omissions.

== Caveat ==

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up. ''(Problem identified by the two SysOps above)''
* Certain wiki guidelines (i.e. the various naming conventions of [[Sharon Valerii]]). ''(Problem identified by [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]])''
* Figuring out who's who here (SysOp vs. member). ''(Problem identified by [[User: Steelviper|Steelviper]])''
* I go nuts with trivia and notes. An excellent example would be the Notes section of [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* BSG is filmed in Vancouver, and that city and its landmarks are featured in Colonial scenes. I try to base theories off of those screenshots, which is bad. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* I like to talk to people I'm friendly with here. To become wikifriends with me, you simply have to leave a note of any sort on my talk page. I will often contact you after that, and if I accidentally spam you or say something offensive, please correct me! ''(Hasn't happened yet, but just in case it does)''
* I get the feeling that I'm not bold enough (see Editing Philosophy section above). Tell me where the line between being bold and being reckless is if I goof up. ''(Problem identified by myself)''
* I can't figure out how to upload images. ''(Problme identified by myself)''

== Statement of My Mission on Battlestar Wiki ==

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

=== Directory of My Work ===

* [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]
* [[Cities of Caprica]] (Has since been deleted)
* [[Caprica 7]] (Deleted on my recommendation)
* [[Caprica Beach]]
* [[Caprica 5]]
* [[Channel 7 News]]
* [[The News-Review]]
* [[Gemini Freight]] (Turned into a redirect for ''Gemini'')

=== Statistics ===

In order to keep a track record of how I'm doing, I'm going to tally statistics of my articles that are kept and deleted.

'''Total Number of Articles Created'''
* 8
'''Number of Articles Deleted'''
* 2
'''Number of Articles Redirected'''
* 1
'''Number of Articles Safe and Sound'''

'''CAUTION:''' THIS WILL BE RATHER SILLY

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints.

== If You See What I See, If You Feel As I Feel... ==

'''SPECIAL THANKS TO ''THE MEROVINGIAN,'' FOR INSPIRING THIS SECTION WITH HIS OWN LITTLE "V" SECTION'''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression. The following is the rise of dictators, and the beginnings of revolutions. Dictatorship and oppression is what happens when millions of people stop thinking and succumb to fear and terror. BE WARNED.

''"You gotta stand up for something, or you'll fall for anything"''.

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!

You have contacted the Homeworld. Apologies, but I am not available at the moment because my colony was recently nuked to death in a Cylon-led holocaust and I am probably writhing in agony on a street somewhere, groping for some anti-radiation meds. If this is the Fleet, please be advised that I am working on a the Battlestar Wiki project for the Twelve Colonies while you search for refuge on Earth. Feel free to leave a message of any sort, from business to history to a pleasant hello and anything in between and I will get back to you shortly. Good Luck! -- Homeworld

==Twelve Colonies Galactic Location==
Hey, I suppose you might've known, but there's actually a little thing on wikipedia about the actual Galactic Location of the Twelve Colonies, I dunno if you might know something about this. It was calculated using the Lagoon Nebula:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagoon_Nebula

And here is a picture I posted to serve as what might be a "map" using that info:

http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/2435/bsgmap3jf.jpg

Just thought you might find it interesting, or that you might've done it since you are a lot into this topic, which is quite interesting ;) --[[User:Sauron18|Sauron18]] 13:06 26 June 2006 (CDT)

*Just to bring it to everyone's attention: people believe Wikipedia when it's faceless...but *I wrote that article on wikipedia*. And I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. (click on that user: "130.64.153.83"-->That's my school IP address (different during the summer), check my user history and you'll notice my extensive updates to LOTR and the other Battlestar Galactica junk on Wikipedia. Yeah I figured that Cygnus arm stuff out a while ago but never got around to finding a good spot to put it in here: but just so you know, it's not an "expert" that thought that theory up, I did, and I could be wrong. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] ([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]]) 13:15, 26 June 2006 (CDT)
**And might I say, that is an excellent map of my crackpot theory, Sauron :) but yeah, I mean think about it: in the [[Tomb of Athena]], they're seeing what an observer on Earth would see, but the Lagoon Nebula as seen from Earth is *recognizable* to them: if they were from the other side of the Galaxy, the nebula would look different. This means that the 12 Colonies have to be "behind" Earth, when viewing the Lagoon Nebula which is on the exact opposite side, for the shape to look the same. So make a straight line from the Lagoon Nebula to Earth and keep going...you get the Cygnus arm. Mind you, Cylon space isn't necessarily even further rimwards than the 12 Colonies, but it's probably right next to the 12 Colonies anyway. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] ([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]]) 13:19, 26 June 2006 (CDT)
***Thanks Merv, and yeah I knew it was someone probably from inside this wiki, I was just pointing out to this user. A very cool theory btw, I myself have been curious about their galactic location. My decision for Cylon space is based on that we know the colonials basically started running in the opposite direction from it, so I basically circled all the possible "opposite" locations instead of just pinpoing it. But it's all a guss in the end, and that's where the fun is ;) --[[User:Sauron18|Sauron18]] 13:40 26 June 2006 (CDT)
****Nice theory, great graphic. Seems very plausible to me. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 13:47, 26 June 2006 (CDT)
I like this. I had no idea people that zealous were out there to actually calculate this stuff! By the way, I notice that they didn't include Kobol. Did the creators of this just assume that the viewer would instinctively put Kobol between the colonies and Earth or was it just not worth it? Anyway, great graphic and greater theroy. Thanks! --[[User:Homeworld616|Homeworld616]] 15:07, 26 June 2006 (CDT)

:Nice articles, HW. Where did you see the name of the station in the miniseries, by the way? I'm sure it wasn't said, so I presume you could make out the "booger" on the viewscreen.

:I loved Sauron's map, but if you like more mindblowing stuff, try out the [[Science in the Re-imagined Series]] and [[Computers]] article. I originated them long ago...and in fact, I think Sauron could add his map there..I'll check. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 13:37, 27 June 2006 (CDT)

::Thanks for the compliments on the articles. Feels nice to have fellow fans who are atuned to the Colonies. About the Caprican news station, you're right. They never actually said the name. However, I base my findings on two facts: (1) When Baltar is being interviewed by Kellan Brody of ''In the Spotlight'', if you look in the (I think) lower right-hand corner of the screen, you can see a white logo of a number 7 in the middle of a circle (that is the "booger" you were referring to?). (2) Brody makes a big deal about her show interviewing ''only'' Caprican headline-makers. Based on the logo's number and the pro-Caprican bias of the anchorwoman, the station's name must be '''Caprica 7'''. I can always change the name to '''Channel 7''' if the community reaches the concensus that my findings for Caprica 7 aren't good enough, but I plan to leave the name just like it is. I'm going to check out those links you sent me. Contact me if you've got more stuff to talk about.

P.S. I recently posted a reformed article [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. Check it out if this topic interests you. --[[User:Homeworld616|Homeworld616]] 13:49, 27 June 2006 (CDT)

:::What do you mean? I'm just a bit fettish in making sure our European allies know that we're not all a bunch of gun-totting cowboys. Perhaps I'm a bit OCD, but the USA's world image has always been a concern of mine. Not that I take offense to your comment, but I HATE the Dixie Chicks. They can't get their political philosophy straigt and their music is sub-par, to be tactfull. In order for me to be channeling the Dixie Chicks, I'd have to say "Hooray for Bush!" then say in the next line, "Bush sucks!" I've never done that. I'm a straight-up Independant and I believe that Bush has his good points and bad points. He's human. I'm removed from that whole Republic-Democrat bias. I'm just an Independant concerned with America's world image. --[[User:Homeworld616|Homeworld616]] 11:42, 20 July 2006 (CDT)

:::Oh, no. I wasn't going into deep analysis. It's just that your "just so you in Europe know" quote sounded almost identical to their "Just so you know, we're ashamed Bush is from Texas" quote in the UK (way back whenever that was). Apparently my joke missed the mark (though whether I was wide left or wide right is debatable). --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 11:50, 20 July 2006 (CDT)

::::Crap! Sorry if I sounded edgy, but I thought you were trying to imply something. I give you my sincirest apologies. Since I don't listen to the Dixie Chicks, I'm bound to miss your joke. Curses! Oh well, I'm glad we avoided a feud over a misinterpretation. Sorry if you had to bear my political philosophy tirade. --[[User:Homeworld616|Homeworld616]] 11:58, 20 July 2006 (CDT)

::::Ah yes, ''Sympathy for the Devil'' by the Rolling Stones. You know, I've never actually read the V for Vendetta graphic novel. I've only seen the movie (which is stellar, if I do say so myself). I read about the graphic novel on Wikipedia and it is apparently quite a bit different from the motion picture. The best way I can sum up the differences is that in the movie the protagonists/antagonists are based on icons and in the graphic novel they are based on caricatures. It is my opinion, however, that in the novel, it's sort of anticlimactic to blow up 10 Downing Street last and Parliament first with the Old Bailey in the middle. I'm American so I don't know which of those three buildings has more symbolism for you in the UK, but for us Parliament is the symbol of your country. Of course, blowing up 10 Downing, Old Bailey and Parliament is your equivalent of us seeing the White House, Supreme Court and Capitol Building explode. I'm actually hoping to get the graphic novel for Christmas. --[[User:Homeworld616|Homeworld616]] 19:43, 19 August 2006 (CDT)
::::::The graphic novel was a lot more gray; V is actually an anarchist believing in no government, and he kills a LOT of people. No, in the graphic novel it wasn't anti-climactic; for British people they actually know all of this stuff better; there are Americans taht don't even know what 10 Downing Street *is*. But of course in the comic Parliament had been abandoned for years; left an empty shell. As for the ending, the novel was flat out better; Evey BECOMES V, and instead of the army putting down their guns, there's a bloody French Reovolution-like riot in which they storm the soldiers and lot of people die, but they win and destroy the government. The movie was great, and I honestly can't think of anything they really should have changed. The thing I miss is that...you know how V "conducts" the destruction of the Old Bailey? In the novel, that's V's centerpiece near the end; he blows up like 3 major building complexes around London, everything to do with the video surveillance cameras (the equivalent of blowing up Fox News HQ, CIA headquarters, etc. all at once and all in one fell swoop) so when he's "directing" he's standing on a roof and pointing across the cityscape as explosions progress from horizon to horizon. He then takes a dramatic bow. It was cool. Plus the way V killed Lilliman in the novel was a lot more fun; no way they could get that into a movie....poisoned communion wafer...dear god...--[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] ([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]]) 19:58, 19 August 2006 (CDT)

:::::::Nice. Of couse, movies cut out a lot from the original production. That time-constraint stuff is a real kill-joy. The details you described would have been awesome in the movie. Of couse, I have to ask, why would Evey need to become V? With the Government toppled and anarchy in every UK republic why does there need to be a new V? Also, I bet in the movie Parliament was abandonned as well and just kept looking nice for national pride and BTN backdrops. No one in the Government ever mentioned it as a functioning legislative body, just as a building. All power seemed to lie with Sutler and Creedy. By the way, what was the fate of the United States in the graphic novel? I know that in the movie my country was basically obliterated by the War on Terror and we're trapped in a massive-scale, bloody second civil war and desperate for supplies (Prothero does a really nice job of cussing us out in the opening). There's actually a funny filming gaffe there. You know after Sutler orders Dascomb to send that message of near-doom to the people? When the BTN is reporting on the Second Civil War, the news poppet says "In the former United States the second civil war continues to ravage the Midwest." There was a small inset screen showing Americans toting M16s shooting up trucks, convenience stores and strip malls. The funny thing was, there were palm trees outside one of the malls so that was filming Florida or southern California. The Midwest is full of wheat and no palm trees. That just cracked me up. --[[User:Homeworld616|Homeworld616]] 20:54, 19 August 2006 (CDT)
:::::::"''Nice. Of couse, movies cut out a lot from the original production. That time-constraint stuff is a real kill-joy. The details you described would have been awesome in the movie. Of couse, I have to ask, why would Evey need to become V?

He explains that there are 2 sides to Anarchy; it's not just chaos. It's people governing for themselves. So half of it is destroying, the rest is rebuilding and making sure it rebuilds ''right'' this time. V himself is a destroyer; he has no place in the rebuilding phase of Anarchy, while Evey does. In the movie, V suicidally takes on Creedy and his men: **V could easily have killed all of them without risking his life**; he wanted to die; his place in the world died with the end of Norsefire. **Similar** thing happens in the novel, though I think the movie did it better; in the novel, in a very similar scene, Finch figures out that the Shadow Gallery is really in the ruins of Victoria Station, goes there and V *anticipated* his arrival; V *LETS* Finch shoot him, and then leaves. It's expressely stated by Finch that he shouldn't have been able to kill V, but that V *Wanted* to die. This is the part the movie screwed up--->A huge crowd of people masses in front of 10 Downing Street (Parliament in the movie) and are about to riot when word comes over the loudspeakers that Codename V is dead. (V dies with Evey as in movie, though in the Shadow Gallery's main hall). Everyone hesistates; then Evey-as-V (Evey put on a spare V costume and becomes the new V) stands on a rooftop and announces that reports of "his death...were greatly exaggerated". Remboldened, the crowd rushes the soldiers and a bloody battle ensues. B) I don't really notice such little things like "midwest but there's palm trees"; 1) they're just running stock footage of fighting somewhere else 2) the US has balkanized or something into several smaller fighting regions, like the former USSR. The USA is really only mentioned in passing in the movie and we can't really piece together what's going on. Rather than a "second civil war", it's more like the soviet breakup; dozens of tiny fiefdoms carved out of the corpse. 3) '''I assumed that BTN was making up or exaggerating most of it as propaganda anyway'''. "''By the way, what was the fate of the United States in the graphic novel?''"--->They don't really mention it that much, but the key difference is that '''in the graphic novel there was a *limited* nuclear war, while in the movie there was a massive bio-terror attack'''. The idea in the graphic novel is that there was a nuclear war, but because Britain was officially neutral, there were no nuclear attacks on Britain itself. ***However, the outside world is decimated. It's worse than in the movie. Continental Europe, and Africa, simply "aren't there anymore!" They're gone. USA and USSR nuked each other to ashes. In the graphic novel its different: although not nuked directly, massive ecological damage wreaks havoc on Britain (the Thames floods out most of London, disease is rampant, food scarce, etc.); years later they've kind of rebuilt, but things are pretty shaky (that's also why the London Underground was abandoned in the novel; flood damage, as opposed to the movie where after the bio-terror attack everyone was afraid to use them and they were sealed off and/or abandoned. --------->Anyway, the idea is that Norsefire is the only thing holding "Britain" together as they really haven't recovered from the ecological/economic devastation of the war....this makes V's actions even more gray: in the movie, all is well with Norsefire gone; in the graphic novel, serious questions are raised that destroying the *bad* government might make everything simply fall apart. ------->Of course, in the foward to the graphic novel from a few years ago, the writer acknowledged taht when he wrote it in the 1980's they thought there was such a thing as "a survivable nuclear war", but that now experts thought that even a "limited" nuclear war was unsurvivable. So I think using bio-terrorism weapons instead in the movie was the more "realistic" way of updating the idea; still a weapon of mass destruction, but more plausible. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] ([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]]) 01:51, 20 August 2006 (CDT)

You have contacted the Homeworld. Apologies, but I am not available at the moment because my colony was recently nuked to death in a Cylon-led holocaust and I am probably writhing in agony on a street somewhere, groping for some anti-radiation meds. If this is the Fleet, please be advised that I am working on a the Battlestar Wiki project for the Twelve Colonies while you search for refuge on Earth. Feel free to leave a message of any sort, from business to history to a pleasant hello and anything in between and I will get back to you shortly. Good Luck! -- Homeworld

==Twelve Colonies Galactic Location==
Hey, I suppose you might've known, but there's actually a little thing on wikipedia about the actual Galactic Location of the Twelve Colonies, I dunno if you might know something about this. It was calculated using the Lagoon Nebula:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagoon_Nebula

And here is a picture I posted to serve as what might be a "map" using that info:

http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/2435/bsgmap3jf.jpg

Just thought you might find it interesting, or that you might've done it since you are a lot into this topic, which is quite interesting ;) --[[User:Sauron18|Sauron18]] 13:06 26 June 2006 (CDT)

*Just to bring it to everyone's attention: people believe Wikipedia when it's faceless...but *I wrote that article on wikipedia*. And I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. (click on that user: "130.64.153.83"-->That's my school IP address (different during the summer), check my user history and you'll notice my extensive updates to LOTR and the other Battlestar Galactica junk on Wikipedia. Yeah I figured that Cygnus arm stuff out a while ago but never got around to finding a good spot to put it in here: but just so you know, it's not an "expert" that thought that theory up, I did, and I could be wrong. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] ([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]]) 13:15, 26 June 2006 (CDT)
**And might I say, that is an excellent map of my crackpot theory, Sauron :) but yeah, I mean think about it: in the [[Tomb of Athena]], they're seeing what an observer on Earth would see, but the Lagoon Nebula as seen from Earth is *recognizable* to them: if they were from the other side of the Galaxy, the nebula would look different. This means that the 12 Colonies have to be "behind" Earth, when viewing the Lagoon Nebula which is on the exact opposite side, for the shape to look the same. So make a straight line from the Lagoon Nebula to Earth and keep going...you get the Cygnus arm. Mind you, Cylon space isn't necessarily even further rimwards than the 12 Colonies, but it's probably right next to the 12 Colonies anyway. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] ([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]]) 13:19, 26 June 2006 (CDT)
***Thanks Merv, and yeah I knew it was someone probably from inside this wiki, I was just pointing out to this user. A very cool theory btw, I myself have been curious about their galactic location. My decision for Cylon space is based on that we know the colonials basically started running in the opposite direction from it, so I basically circled all the possible "opposite" locations instead of just pinpoing it. But it's all a guss in the end, and that's where the fun is ;) --[[User:Sauron18|Sauron18]] 13:40 26 June 2006 (CDT)
****Nice theory, great graphic. Seems very plausible to me. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 13:47, 26 June 2006 (CDT)
I like this. I had no idea people that zealous were out there to actually calculate this stuff! By the way, I notice that they didn't include Kobol. Did the creators of this just assume that the viewer would instinctively put Kobol between the colonies and Earth or was it just not worth it? Anyway, great graphic and greater theroy. Thanks! --[[User:Homeworld616|Homeworld616]] 15:07, 26 June 2006 (CDT)

:Nice articles, HW. Where did you see the name of the station in the miniseries, by the way? I'm sure it wasn't said, so I presume you could make out the "booger" on the viewscreen.

:I loved Sauron's map, but if you like more mindblowing stuff, try out the [[Science in the Re-imagined Series]] and [[Computers]] article. I originated them long ago...and in fact, I think Sauron could add his map there..I'll check. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 13:37, 27 June 2006 (CDT)

::Thanks for the compliments on the articles. Feels nice to have fellow fans who are atuned to the Colonies. About the Caprican news station, you're right. They never actually said the name. However, I base my findings on two facts: (1) When Baltar is being interviewed by Kellan Brody of ''In the Spotlight'', if you look in the (I think) lower right-hand corner of the screen, you can see a white logo of a number 7 in the middle of a circle (that is the "booger" you were referring to?). (2) Brody makes a big deal about her show interviewing ''only'' Caprican headline-makers. Based on the logo's number and the pro-Caprican bias of the anchorwoman, the station's name must be '''Caprica 7'''. I can always change the name to '''Channel 7''' if the community reaches the concensus that my findings for Caprica 7 aren't good enough, but I plan to leave the name just like it is. I'm going to check out those links you sent me. Contact me if you've got more stuff to talk about.

They can't get their political philosophy straigt and their music is sub-par, to be tactfull. In order for me to be channeling the Dixie Chicks, I'd have to say "Hooray for Bush!" then say in the next line, "Bush sucks!" I've never done that. I'm a straight-up Independant and I believe that Bush has his good points and bad points. He's human. I'm removed from that whole Republic-Democrat bias. I'm just an Independant concerned with America's world image. --[[User:Homeworld616|Homeworld616]] 11:42, 20 July 2006 (CDT)

::::Ah yes, ''Sympathy for the Devil'' by the Rolling Stones. You know, I've never actually read the V for Vendetta graphic novel. I've only seen the movie (which is stellar, if I do say so myself). I read about the graphic novel on Wikipedia and it is apparently quite a bit different from the motion picture. The best way I can sum up the differences is that in the movie the protagonists/antagonists are based on icons and in the graphic novel they are based on caricatures. It is my opinion, however, that in the novel, it's sort of anticlimactic to blow up 10 Downing Street last and Parliament first with the Old Bailey in the middle. I'm American so I don't know which of those three buildings has more symbolism for you in the UK, but for us Parliament is the symbol of your country. Of course, blowing up 10 Downing, Old Bailey and Parliament is your equivalent of us seeing the White House, Supreme Court and Capitol Building explode. I'm actually hoping to get the graphic novel for Christmas. --[[User:Homeworld616|Homeworld616]] 19:43, 19 August 2006 (CDT)
::::::The graphic novel was a lot more gray; V is actually an anarchist believing in no government, and he kills a LOT of people. No, in the graphic novel it wasn't anti-climactic; for British people they actually know all of this stuff better; there are Americans taht don't even know what 10 Downing Street *is*. But of course in the comic Parliament had been abandoned for years; left an empty shell. As for the ending, the novel was flat out better; Evey BECOMES V, and instead of the army putting down their guns, there's a bloody French Reovolution-like riot in which they storm the soldiers and lot of people die, but they win and destroy the government. The movie was great, and I honestly can't think of anything they really should have changed. The thing I miss is that...you know how V "conducts" the destruction of the Old Bailey? In the novel, that's V's centerpiece near the end; he blows up like 3 major building complexes around London, everything to do with the video surveillance cameras (the equivalent of blowing up Fox News HQ, CIA headquarters, etc. all at once and all in one fell swoop) so when he's "directing" he's standing on a roof and pointing across the cityscape as explosions progress from horizon to horizon. He then takes a dramatic bow. It was cool. Plus the way V killed Lilliman in the novel was a lot more fun; no way they could get that into a movie....poisoned communion wafer...dear god...--[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] ([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]]) 19:58, 19 August 2006 (CDT)

:::::::Nice. Of couse, movies cut out a lot from the original production. That time-constraint stuff is a real kill-joy. The details you described would have been awesome in the movie. Of couse, I have to ask, why would Evey need to become V? With the Government toppled and anarchy in every UK republic why does there need to be a new V? Also, I bet in the movie Parliament was abandonned as well and just kept looking nice for national pride and BTN backdrops. No one in the Government ever mentioned it as a functioning legislative body, just as a building. All power seemed to lie with Sutler and Creedy. By the way, what was the fate of the United States in the graphic novel? I know that in the movie my country was basically obliterated by the War on Terror and we're trapped in a massive-scale, bloody second civil war and desperate for supplies (Prothero does a really nice job of cussing us out in the opening). There's actually a funny filming gaffe there. You know after Sutler orders Dascomb to send that message of near-doom to the people? When the BTN is reporting on the Second Civil War, the news poppet says "In the former United States the second civil war continues to ravage the Midwest." There was a small inset screen showing Americans toting M16s shooting up trucks, convenience stores and strip malls. The funny thing was, there were palm trees outside one of the malls so that was filming Florida or southern California. The Midwest is full of wheat and no palm trees. That just cracked me up. --[[User:Homeworld616|Homeworld616]] 20:54, 19 August 2006 (CDT)

He explains that there are 2 sides to Anarchy; it's not just chaos. It's people governing for themselves. So half of it is destroying, the rest is rebuilding and making sure it rebuilds ''right'' this time. V himself is a destroyer; he has no place in the rebuilding phase of Anarchy, while Evey does. In the movie, V suicidally takes on Creedy and his men: **V could easily have killed all of them without risking his life**; he wanted to die; his place in the world died with the end of Norsefire. **Similar** thing happens in the novel, though I think the movie did it better; in the novel, in a very similar scene, Finch figures out that the Shadow Gallery is really in the ruins of Victoria Station, goes there and V *anticipated* his arrival; V *LETS* Finch shoot him, and then leaves. It's expressely stated by Finch that he shouldn't have been able to kill V, but that V *Wanted* to die. This is the part the movie screwed up--->A huge crowd of people masses in front of 10 Downing Street (Parliament in the movie) and are about to riot when word comes over the loudspeakers that Codename V is dead. (V dies with Evey as in movie, though in the Shadow Gallery's main hall). Everyone hesistates; then Evey-as-V (Evey put on a spare V costume and becomes the new V) stands on a rooftop and announces that reports of "his death...were greatly exaggerated". Remboldened, the crowd rushes the soldiers and a bloody battle ensues. B) I don't really notice such little things like "midwest but there's palm trees"; 1) they're just running stock footage of fighting somewhere else 2) the US has balkanized or something into several smaller fighting regions, like the former USSR. The USA is really only mentioned in passing in the movie and we can't really piece together what's going on. Rather than a "second civil war", it's more like the soviet breakup; dozens of tiny fiefdoms carved out of the corpse. 3) '''I assumed that BTN was making up or exaggerating most of it as propaganda anyway'''. "''By the way, what was the fate of the United States in the graphic novel?''"--->They don't really mention it that much, but the key difference is that '''in the graphic novel there was a *limited* nuclear war, while in the movie there was a massive bio-terror attack'''. The idea in the graphic novel is that there was a nuclear war, but because Britain was officially neutral, there were no nuclear attacks on Britain itself. ***However, the outside world is decimated. It's worse than in the movie. Continental Europe, and Africa, simply "aren't there anymore!" They're gone. USA and USSR nuked each other to ashes. In the graphic novel its different: although not nuked directly, massive ecological damage wreaks havoc on Britain (the Thames floods out most of London, disease is rampant, food scarce, etc.); years later they've kind of rebuilt, but things are pretty shaky (that's also why the London Underground was abandoned in the novel; flood damage, as opposed to the movie where after the bio-terror attack everyone was afraid to use them and they were sealed off and/or abandoned. --------->Anyway, the idea is that Norsefire is the only thing holding "Britain" together as they really haven't recovered from the ecological/economic devastation of the war....this makes V's actions even more gray: in the movie, all is well with Norsefire gone; in the graphic novel, serious questions are raised that destroying the *bad* government might make everything simply fall apart. ------->Of course, in the foward to the graphic novel from a few years ago, the writer acknowledged taht when he wrote it in the 1980's they thought there was such a thing as "a survivable nuclear war", but that now experts thought that even a "limited" nuclear war was unsurvivable. So I think using bio-terrorism weapons instead in the movie was the more "realistic" way of updating the idea; still a weapon of mass destruction, but more plausible. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] ([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]]) 01:51, 20 August 2006 (CDT)

== Idols of Mine ==

=== Malcolm X ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LukWzli19M The problem is still here]'''
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO6Co8v2XjY&mode=related&search= Nationalism is the wave of the future]'''
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87dgmGwqhKU&NR We are brutalized because we are black people in America]'''
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ2mc8DJsyQ&NR I for one will join in with anyone, I don't care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this Earth]

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

=== George Orwell ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyrIj4CqVsc Who controls the past, controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past]'''
: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNuVVgh1HTw 2 + 2 =]'''

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFnHD1AlKEU&mode=related&search= Here comes a candle to light you to bed. Here comes a chopper to chop off your head.]

Okay, so YouTube has a rather poor selection of Nineteen Eighty-Four clips, but that is inconsequential. George Orwell wrote arguably the best and easily the most haunting bleak future novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. His social commentary, brilliant mind, bleak settings and symbolism deserve him a place in the Annals of Literature. As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

=== Stephen Colbert ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDLWqOCqngY&NR Stephen Colbert takes on the World Cup]

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

== Editing Philosophy ==

Over the months I've been on Wikipedia and affilitated sites, I've developed a philosophy for editing that works well for me, and hopefully me fellow editors and SysOps. I attempt to put this into practice every time.

* I assume good faith.
* I condemn all personal attacks, and will remove them if they are too offensive.
* I have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Vandalism.
* I prefer to discuss large-scale changes (i.e. content additions) to articles on the talk page before changing anything.
* I respond to EVERY message I get on my talk page, although not necessarily right away. You can be safe knowing that ANYTHING you write will be answered at some point in time.
* I prefer communication and friendliness with other users.
* I am bold...with typo correction and small omissions.

== Caveat ==

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up. ''(Problem identified by the two SysOps above)''
* Certain wiki guidelines (i.e. the various naming conventions of [[Sharon Valerii]]). ''(Problem identified by [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]])''
* Figuring out who's who here (SysOp vs. member). ''(Problem identified by [[User: Steelviper|Steelviper]])''
* I go nuts with trivia and notes. An excellent example would be the Notes section of [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* BSG is filmed in Vancouver, and that city and its landmarks are featured in Colonial scenes. I try to base theories off of those screenshots, which is bad. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* I like to talk to people I'm friendly with here. To become wikifriends with me, you simply have to leave a note of any sort on my talk page. I will often contact you after that, and if I accidentally spam you or say something offensive, please correct me! ''(Hasn't happened yet, but just in case it does)''
* I get the feeling that I'm not bold enough (see Editing Philosophy section above). Tell me where the line between being bold and being reckless is if I goof up. ''(Problem identified by myself)''
* I can't figure out how to upload images. ''(Problme identified by myself)''

== Statement of My Mission on Battlestar Wiki ==

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

=== Directory of My Work ===

* [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]
* [[Cities of Caprica]] (Has since been deleted)
* [[Caprica 7]] (Deleted on my recommendation)
* [[Caprica Beach]]
* [[Caprica 5]]
* [[Channel 7 News]]
* [[The News-Review]]
* [[Gemini Freight]] (Turned into a redirect for ''Gemini'')

=== Statistics ===

In order to keep a track record of how I'm doing, I'm going to tally statistics of my articles that are kept and deleted.

'''Total Number of Articles Created'''
* 8
'''Number of Articles Deleted'''
* 2
'''Number of Articles Redirected'''
* 1
'''Number of Articles Safe and Sound'''
* 5

=== Articles I Have Edited ===

* [[Caprica City]]
* [[Delphi]]
* [[Twelve Colonies (RDM)]]
* [[New Caprica City]]
* [[Arts and Literature of the Twelve Colonies]]
* [[Toaster]]

== The Homeworld ==

'''CAUTION:''' THIS WILL BE RATHER SILLY

[[Image:Railgun.jpg|thumb|right|We have BIG GUNS on this Colony]]
[[Image:BSGToaster.jpg|thumb|right|We like toast on The Homeworld (with butter and fruity preserves, of course)]]
[[Image:Cylonattack.jpg|thumb|right|Take that Speilberg!]]
[[Image:CapricaMessage.jpg|thumb|right|Oh George Lucas. You poor, poor fool for sueing BSG.]]
[[Image:BattleofKobol.jpg|thumb|right|The Cylons apparently had a falling out with the Gould at some point...Why else would they be blowin up the Great Pyramids?]]

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

== WARNING! ==

Who do you think you are, Homeworld...whatever your true username is. You keep changing it every time we see you. Anywho, who do you think you are to go around cockily and make you userpage '''''humorous'''''? It's an outrage! A scandal!

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

''No actual users were harmed in the making of this satire on wiki politics. Any parallels with any other user's ideology or interests are unintended, and they should not be interpreted as being intended. I hold the utmost respect for policies here, and will always cite a source. I just like to poke fun every once in a while. If anyone takes offense to this, leave a note on my talk page where I will apologize and (GASP AND HORROR!) crack a joke.''

'''SPECIAL THANKS TO ''THE MEROVINGIAN,'' FOR INSPIRING THIS SECTION WITH HIS OWN LITTLE "V" SECTION'''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression. The following is the rise of dictators, and the beginnings of revolutions. Dictatorship and oppression is what happens when millions of people stop thinking and succumb to fear and terror. BE WARNED.

''"You gotta stand up for something, or you'll fall for anything"''.

*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KMlCeDnGoI&NR Remember, remember the 11th of September...]

*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk2nDlTc1qY&NR Ideas are bulletproof...the Revolution begins]

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!

== Idols of Mine ==

=== Malcolm X ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO6Co8v2XjY&mode=related&search= Nationalism is the wave of the future]'''

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ2mc8DJsyQ&NR I for one will join in with anyone, I don't care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this Earth]

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

=== George Orwell ===

Okay, so YouTube has a rather poor selection of Nineteen Eighty-Four clips, but that is inconsequential. George Orwell wrote arguably the best and easily the most haunting bleak future novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. His social commentary, brilliant mind, bleak settings and symbolism deserve him a place in the Annals of Literature. As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

== Editing Philosophy ==

Over the months I've been on Wikipedia and affilitated sites, I've developed a philosophy for editing that works well for me, and hopefully me fellow editors and SysOps. I attempt to put this into practice every time.

* I assume good faith.
* I condemn all personal attacks, and will remove them if they are too offensive.
* I have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Vandalism.
* I prefer to discuss large-scale changes (i.e. content additions) to articles on the talk page before changing anything.
* I respond to EVERY message I get on my talk page, although not necessarily right away. You can be safe knowing that ANYTHING you write will be answered at some point in time.
* I prefer communication and friendliness with other users.
* I am bold...with typo correction and small omissions.

== Caveat ==

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up. ''(Problem identified by the two SysOps above)''
* Certain wiki guidelines (i.e. the various naming conventions of [[Sharon Valerii]]). ''(Problem identified by [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]])''
* Figuring out who's who here (SysOp vs. member). ''(Problem identified by [[User: Steelviper|Steelviper]])''
* I go nuts with trivia and notes. An excellent example would be the Notes section of [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* BSG is filmed in Vancouver, and that city and its landmarks are featured in Colonial scenes. I try to base theories off of those screenshots, which is bad. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* I like to talk to people I'm friendly with here. To become wikifriends with me, you simply have to leave a note of any sort on my talk page. I will often contact you after that, and if I accidentally spam you or say something offensive, please correct me! ''(Hasn't happened yet, but just in case it does)''
* I get the feeling that I'm not bold enough (see Editing Philosophy section above). Tell me where the line between being bold and being reckless is if I goof up. ''(Problem identified by myself)''
* I can't figure out how to upload images. ''(Problme identified by myself)''

== Statement of My Mission on Battlestar Wiki ==

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

=== Directory of My Work ===

* [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]
* [[Cities of Caprica]] (Has since been deleted)
* [[Caprica 7]] (Deleted on my recommendation)
* [[Caprica Beach]]
* [[Caprica 5]]
* [[Channel 7 News]]
* [[The News-Review]]
* [[Gemini Freight]] (Turned into a redirect for ''Gemini'')

=== Statistics ===

In order to keep a track record of how I'm doing, I'm going to tally statistics of my articles that are kept and deleted.

'''Total Number of Articles Created'''
* 8
'''Number of Articles Deleted'''
* 2
'''Number of Articles Redirected'''
* 1
'''Number of Articles Safe and Sound'''
* 5

=== Articles I Have Edited ===

* [[Caprica City]]
* [[Delphi]]
* [[Twelve Colonies (RDM)]]
* [[New Caprica City]]
* [[Arts and Literature of the Twelve Colonies]]
* [[Toaster]]

== The Homeworld ==

'''CAUTION:''' THIS WILL BE RATHER SILLY

[[Image:Railgun.jpg|thumb|right|We have BIG GUNS on this Colony]]
[[Image:BSGToaster.jpg|thumb|right|We like toast on The Homeworld (with butter and fruity preserves, of course)]]
[[Image:Cylonattack.jpg|thumb|right|Take that Speilberg!]]
[[Image:CapricaMessage.jpg|thumb|right|Oh George Lucas. You poor, poor fool for sueing BSG.]]
[[Image:BattleofKobol.jpg|thumb|right|The Cylons apparently had a falling out with the Gould at some point...Why else would they be blowin up the Great Pyramids?]]

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

== WARNING! ==

Who do you think you are, Homeworld...whatever your true username is. You keep changing it every time we see you. Anywho, who do you think you are to go around cockily and make you userpage '''''humorous'''''? It's an outrage! A scandal!

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

''No actual users were harmed in the making of this satire on wiki politics. Any parallels with any other user's ideology or interests are unintended, and they should not be interpreted as being intended. I hold the utmost respect for policies here, and will always cite a source. I just like to poke fun every once in a while. If anyone takes offense to this, leave a note on my talk page where I will apologize and (GASP AND HORROR!) crack a joke.''

'''SPECIAL THANKS TO ''THE MEROVINGIAN,'' FOR INSPIRING THIS SECTION WITH HIS OWN LITTLE "V" SECTION'''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression. The following is the rise of dictators, and the beginnings of revolutions. Dictatorship and oppression is what happens when millions of people stop thinking and succumb to fear and terror. BE WARNED.

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!

* I condemn all personal attacks, and will remove them if they are too offensive.
* I have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Vandalism.
* I prefer to discuss large-scale changes (i.e. content additions) to articles on the talk page before changing anything.
* I respond to EVERY message I get on my talk page, although not necessarily right away. You can be safe knowing that ANYTHING you write will be answered at some point in time.
* I prefer communication and friendliness with other users.
* I am bold...with typo correction and small omissions.

== Caveat ==

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up. ''(Problem identified by the two SysOps above)''
* Certain wiki guidelines (i.e. the various naming conventions of [[Sharon Valerii]]). ''(Problem identified by [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]])''
* Figuring out who's who here (SysOp vs. member). ''(Problem identified by [[User: Steelviper|Steelviper]])''
* I go nuts with trivia and notes. An excellent example would be the Notes section of [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* BSG is filmed in Vancouver, and that city and its landmarks are featured in Colonial scenes. I try to base theories off of those screenshots, which is bad. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* I like to talk to people I'm friendly with here. To become wikifriends with me, you simply have to leave a note of any sort on my talk page. I will often contact you after that, and if I accidentally spam you or say something offensive, please correct me! ''(Hasn't happened yet, but just in case it does)''
* I get the feeling that I'm not bold enough (see Editing Philosophy section above). Tell me where the line between being bold and being reckless is if I goof up. ''(Problem identified by myself)''
* I can't figure out how to upload images. ''(Problme identified by myself)''

== Statement of My Mission on Battlestar Wiki ==

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

'''CAUTION:''' THIS WILL BE RATHER SILLY

[[Image:Railgun.jpg|thumb|right|We have BIG GUNS on this Colony]]
[[Image:BSGToaster.jpg|thumb|right|We like toast on The Homeworld (with butter and fruity preserves, of course)]]

[[Image:BattleofKobol.jpg|thumb|right|The Cylons apparently had a falling out with the Gould at some point...Why else would they be blowin up the Great Pyramids?]]

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

== WARNING! ==

Who do you think you are, Homeworld...whatever your true username is. You keep changing it every time we see you. Anywho, who do you think you are to go around cockily and make you userpage '''''humorous'''''? It's an outrage! A scandal!

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

''No actual users were harmed in the making of this satire on wiki politics. Any parallels with any other user's ideology or interests are unintended, and they should not be interpreted as being intended. I hold the utmost respect for policies here, and will always cite a source. I just like to poke fun every once in a while. If anyone takes offense to this, leave a note on my talk page where I will apologize and (GASP AND HORROR!) crack a joke.''

'''SPECIAL THANKS TO ''THE MEROVINGIAN,'' FOR INSPIRING THIS SECTION WITH HIS OWN LITTLE "V" SECTION'''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression. The following is the rise of dictators, and the beginnings of revolutions. Dictatorship and oppression is what happens when millions of people stop thinking and succumb to fear and terror. BE WARNED.

''"You gotta stand up for something, or you'll fall for anything"''.

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

Okay, so YouTube has a rather poor selection of Nineteen Eighty-Four clips, but that is inconsequential. George Orwell wrote arguably the best and easily the most haunting bleak future novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. His social commentary, brilliant mind, bleak settings and symbolism deserve him a place in the Annals of Literature. As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef. Fortunately for humanity, another random worm hole opened up and sucked all the Daleks to the beginning of time. Unhappy about being deprived of their post-apocalyptic nap, they began shooting at the nearest cosmic beings, subsequently staring an intertemporal war whose result was a number of highly popular British television shows starring a Doctor who asked "Would you like a Jelly Baby?".

That's pretty much it. The Fleet accidentally stumbled upon The Homeworld during its exodus from the Prolmar Sector, but that was cut out due to time constraints. This history of The Homeworld is also being cut off, due to the fact that this page is silly and I am being watched by users who almost, but not quite, entirely disprove of silliness on a canon website. Have a nice day!

== WARNING! ==

Who do you think you are, Homeworld...whatever your true username is. You keep changing it every time we see you. Anywho, who do you think you are to go around cockily and make you userpage '''''humorous'''''? It's an outrage! A scandal!

''Why'' is it such an outrage and a scandal?

Because this is a canonical wiki, and a ''serious'' one at that. Do you see them cracking jokes when watching BSG? No! It is a dark drama, and so should be our wiki!

But lack of humor makes people go insane. This place may depress users to the point of manic nature if no one steps up lighten the mood once in a while.

It is policy: Our silly pages should be rare!

I count seven or eight silly pages, and those are articles. This is a userpage, not an article.

But it is still a ''page,'' is it not?

Umm...I guess so.

Then you are caught in the wrong! Besides, we have ''other'' reasons to be displeased with you. For example, what is this "Homeworld" you speak of? It does not exist in the series. You claim to have seen it in a deleted scene. Cite your source!

What???

You heard me! Cite your source or face, the BANHAMMER!... ... ... ...
The idea is to beg and scream for mercy right about now (hint hint)

But this is a silly page. Why should I cite a source on a silly page? The whole point of a silly page is to make up useless crap so people can laugh. Why cite useless crap?

Because we demand citations on even the most irrevent of articles!

Fine... here's your source. [http://warner.eprize.net/searchforfreedom/index.tbapp?page=intro&session_id=7ew5i8c4uldfov1h&affiliate_id=&noflash=flash Source for my outrageous claim]

What? You insolent cow! That is a clip from "V for Vendetta," a mantra against dictatorship and injustice. Are you trying to ''imply'' something?

No, honest! It was a joke!

You stubborn evildoer! I'm putting jokes on the blacklist. I never want to hear them again. Your humorous ways have finally driven me off the deep end! '''BANHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Nooooooo! (cut off abruptly)

''No actual users were harmed in the making of this satire on wiki politics. Any parallels with any other user's ideology or interests are unintended, and they should not be interpreted as being intended.

'''SPECIAL THANKS TO ''THE MEROVINGIAN,'' FOR INSPIRING THIS SECTION WITH HIS OWN LITTLE "V" SECTION'''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression. The following is the rise of dictators, and the beginnings of revolutions. Dictatorship and oppression is what happens when millions of people stop thinking and succumb to fear and terror. BE WARNED.

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure.

=== Malcolm X ===

: '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ2mc8DJsyQ&NR I for one will join in with anyone, I don't care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this Earth]

In case you're all wondering, I ''am'' white. But you know what? I admire Malcolm X anyway. He had amazing insight into the cogs and gears of prejudice and racism and he actually told the ''truth'' about the white race and their treatment of the blacks. To quote Inspector Finch from V for Vendetta, "The trouble is, he knows us better than we know ourselves." X's commentary on events and people have added a whole new dimension to my perception of the Civil Rights movement. In short, Malcolm X is the man.

=== George Orwell ===

Okay, so YouTube has a rather poor selection of Nineteen Eighty-Four clips, but that is inconsequential. George Orwell wrote arguably the best and easily the most haunting bleak future novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. His social commentary, brilliant mind, bleak settings and symbolism deserve him a place in the Annals of Literature. As a former socialist disgusted with Stalin's regime, Orwell has provided me (and many others) with a brilliant and subtely haunting social commentary. Just ''watch'' those images of Big Brother....<shudder>.

Stephen Colbert is arguably the best social pundit out there, and easily the best comedian in America. You see, he ''pretends'' to be part of the Ann Coulter-like demagoguery, a Republican sheep, an Uber pro-American and a Super Christian, but when you watch ''The Colbert Report'' you realize the guile he uses. He actually protests most of the politics in Washington, DC through feigning support. His highly evolved sense of humor doesn't come easily for some, but if you understand it he's hilarious. Colbert's social commentary and enlightened sense of humor makes him an amazing human (who, coincidentally, ''is'' a Roman Catholic).

== Editing Philosophy ==

Over the months I've been on Wikipedia and affilitated sites, I've developed a philosophy for editing that works well for me, and hopefully me fellow editors and SysOps. I attempt to put this into practice every time.

* I assume good faith.
* I condemn all personal attacks, and will remove them if they are too offensive.
* I have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Vandalism.
* I prefer to discuss large-scale changes (i.e. content additions) to articles on the talk page before changing anything.
* I respond to EVERY message I get on my talk page, although not necessarily right away. You can be safe knowing that ANYTHING you write will be answered at some point in time.
* I prefer communication and friendliness with other users.
* I am bold...with typo correction and small omissions.

== Caveat ==

I'm going to come right out and tell you my blind spots, so that you can help me correct them and make me grow into a better user. Here are some problems I've encountered. I will also give credit to the various other users who identified these problems.

* I tend to be zealous with detail when I get excited about an article. An excellent example (to which [[User: Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] and [[User: The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] can attest) is the Architecture section of the Arts and Lit article, which I then had to abridge massively and even then they still had to go in for clean up. ''(Problem identified by the two SysOps above)''
* Certain wiki guidelines (i.e. the various naming conventions of [[Sharon Valerii]]). ''(Problem identified by [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]])''
* Figuring out who's who here (SysOp vs. member). ''(Problem identified by [[User: Steelviper|Steelviper]])''
* I go nuts with trivia and notes. An excellent example would be the Notes section of [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* BSG is filmed in Vancouver, and that city and its landmarks are featured in Colonial scenes. I try to base theories off of those screenshots, which is bad. ''(Problem identified by The Merovingian)''
* I like to talk to people I'm friendly with here. To become wikifriends with me, you simply have to leave a note of any sort on my talk page. I will often contact you after that, and if I accidentally spam you or say something offensive, please correct me! ''(Hasn't happened yet, but just in case it does)''
* I get the feeling that I'm not bold enough (see Editing Philosophy section above). Tell me where the line between being bold and being reckless is if I goof up. ''(Problem identified by myself)''
* I can't figure out how to upload images. ''(Problme identified by myself)''

== Statement of My Mission on Battlestar Wiki ==

I am mainly interested in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, their history, civilization, trivia, etc. On this wiki, I plan
to contribute and edit articles relating to the colonies on a regular basis and perhaps create a few. I also know some trivia that I do not see listed here. I plan to fix that. I also want to be extremely helpful to my fellow editors and administrators and not be a time waster or a pain.
Not to sound boastful, but I think it would be cool to be an admin one day. I can wait thought. I've a long life ahead of me and I don't think the quality of my contributions is ''that'' up tp par with those made by other admins. However, I am ready for a mop bucket when someone decides that I am up to the challenge.

== Articles I Have Created/Edited for Battlestar Wiki ==

Sadly, most of what I write are stubs. This is due to the fact that I am interested in Colonial instutions/creations and the writers really don't go into those too much. The only true articles I've written are ''Unnamed Cities of Caprica'' and ''Cities of Caprica'', one of which has been deleted. It should also be noted that any images you find in these articles weren't uploaded by me, but by other users.

More contribuitons will be coming, as soon as Season 3 and the new prequel ''[[Caprica]]'' comes out.

=== Directory of My Work ===

* [[Unnamed Cities of Caprica]]
* [[Cities of Caprica]] (Has since been deleted)
* [[Caprica 7]] (Deleted on my recommendation)
* [[Caprica Beach]]
* [[Caprica 5]]
* [[Channel 7 News]]
* [[The News-Review]]
* [[Gemini Freight]] (Turned into a redirect for ''Gemini'')

=== Statistics ===

In order to keep a track record of how I'm doing, I'm going to tally statistics of my articles that are kept and deleted.

'''Total Number of Articles Created'''
* 8
'''Number of Articles Deleted'''
* 2
'''Number of Articles Redirected'''
* 1
'''Number of Articles Safe and Sound'''
* 5

I suppose you are all wondering what this planet is, so I will tell you. The Homeworld is the fourteenth colony of Kobol that everyone forgot about. At least that is what we like to think. There was no fourteenth tribe of man, and our actual history was quite a bit less romantic. We were originally an out-system colony of Virgon, but moved to the jurisdiction of Sagittaron after a particularly embarrasing stint involving the leaders of both Colonies betting on a Pyramid game while strung out on green alcohol, and a semi-tamed mongoose whose involvement in the proceedings is questionable. We quickly became a source of cheap labor for a Colony that was adoringly referred to by the other Eleven worlds as "Our b**ch." The Sagittarians tried to make life good for us, and for Godsmas they built us a wonderful new professional Pyramid court and gave us our own minor league team. Unfortunately, on the opening day and premier game, the court, team and a promising group from the Society of Junior Executives Who Wear Three-Piece Suits and Golf on Sundays were vaporized by an almost, but not completely, unexpected volcanic eruption.

The Homeworld became industrialized and, lucky us, we got to do the jobs Sagittarians didn't want to do. Our colony became the proud home of several almost-but-not-quite-so-venerable worker's organizations, including the Royal Crap Movers Society, the Imperious Paper and Other Desktop Implement Pushers Union, the Order of Bueraucratic Red Tape and Fondue Stirrers, the Association of Gatherers and Collectors of Very Small Rocks, the Conglomeration of Estranged Custard Fillers and Franciscan Friars, the Amalgamated Alliamce of Nothing In Particular, and ENRON. A backwards economy and dictatorial rule ruined us, and the richer Colonies gave us aid money out of some sense of obligation or pity. We did what any third-world planet would do with over 700 million cubits: Blow it all on cockfights.

When the Cylons attacked and smoked the Twelve Colonies, they actually missed us. Didn't even come close, actually. Not by a long shot. We had some feeling that they knew about us though, since we received an encrypted message telling us that our planet was so pitiful not even Satan would go there, so they had no reason for wasting perfectly good nukes on us. Besides, they assumed we would go insane and gnaw our legs off partly from the highly toxic industiral fumes we had breathed in over the past few milennia, and partly from the Cylon's bad humor.

Nope, the Cylons didn't destroy us, but we were annihilated anyway. In a wholly unexplained cosmic event, a wormhole opened up and deposited a single Number 2 pencil into our orbit. It hit an orbital defense satellite, which happened to be carrying a large assortment of improperly programmed Daleks (we thought the Cylons weren't cool enough, so we made our own robots). The pencil, for some reason, released the Daleks who had been cyberhibernating. Robots don't like to be awoken from cyberhibernation, and did what any Asimovian robot would do: Blow up the nearest population of humans and then take a relaxing nap. The Daleks went on a rampage and we were all destroyed, making humanity very unhappy. Another equally unhappy person in some other area of the Multiverse was the high school student who lost his pencil to the vortex, and consequently could not finish his SAT and was then barred from the college he wanted to go to, depriving his planet of another professional pastry chef.

'''SPECIAL THANKS TO ''THE MEROVINGIAN,'' FOR INSPIRING THIS SECTION WITH HIS OWN LITTLE "V" SECTION'''

Alas in the midst of all my humor, there is always room for seriousness. In fact, the links below will lead you to the true side of our planet, a side of darkness and oppression. The following is the rise of dictators, and the beginnings of revolutions. Dictatorship and oppression is what happens when millions of people stop thinking and succumb to fear and terror. BE WARNED.

''"You gotta stand up for something, or you'll fall for anything"''.

A Government can burn the National Archives and all the documents in it, but they cannont burn away the rights in those papers. Rights are something man has from birth and are embedded in his heart and ''nothing'' can kill that.
Revolution should never be taken lightly. The current American political situation is fodder for rabblerousers, but not enough to justify bloody rebellion. Revolution is a bloody, drawn out process where many more die than need be. But when the liberties and freedoms that are your birthright are revoked, you have every right to revolt.

== Next Projects ==

* I would like to make a directory of Colonial corporations and possibly add it to the Twelve Colonies series under the label "Economy." However, I'd like to hold off on that until the next season comes, as well as the new prequel, Caprica, where some more companies may be revealed.

* When the prequel ''Caprica'' is released, I will watch it with my laptop close at hand. As they come up, I will mercilessly write articles about any company/city with a proper noun in the name. I can take care of the urban and corporate portions of the prequel, while other users can write about the various new characters, technologies, etc.

* I really need to do something on the Think Tank. It seems that only admins do stuff there and the normal users hardly contribute. I mean, for the love of heaven there are over 1,000 users here and 7 admins. If only 7 out of 1,000 contribute, that is a ''badly'' lopsided figure. Don't worry Think Tank, I am coming to contribute to thee! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA HOME-WORLD!
