Hello Joe, I was wondering if their might be a possibility of us adding on a message board for members of BSG Wiki to discuss the actual show rather than the website itself. I think that if we created a community message board it would promote a greater community/fraternity among the members and if we limited it to members it might decrease the number of random messages left on the board. I know it is kind of unwiki of us to do this but since this particular site it concerned with BSG rather than a plethora of items I thought it might be a good idea. What do you think? [[User:Zarek Rocks]]

:If you're looking for a good BSG-related message board, you could try the one at [http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?showforum=745 Television Without Pity] --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 22:40, 9 Aug 2005 (EDT)

:: I know that there is a pretty good message board at [http://www.galacticastation.com Galactica Station], as well. -- [[User:Joe.Beaudoin|Joe Beaudoin]] 16:34, 10 Aug 2005 (EDT)

== Quote-o-Matic ==
What's with the (non-working) quote o the day on the front page? Is this a template problem, or what? Can I help? ....or what? [[User:Colonial one|Colonial one]] 22:54, 16 Aug 2005 (EDT)
:There is no automatic script to generate the quotes. They must be added manually per day. You can add them yourself, should you choose to take up the task. :-) -- [[User:Joe.Beaudoin|Joe Beaudoin]] 23:09, 16 Aug 2005 (EDT)
::I'd like to add a quote, but, uh... I don't want to mess it up because it then won't be seen for a year, I think. Is there a way to look at quotes that have already been put in, so I can copy the formatting? I tried the little Quote link, but the one that was added for 08 29 wasn't on there, so I think that's not right. Or something. I'm such a confused noob. ;) --[[User:Day|Day]] 00:59, 30 August 2005 (EDT)
:: That's OK, Day. I (or someone) can do a template for a quote-of-the-day. -- [[User:Joe.Beaudoin|Joe Beaudoin]] 09:49, 30 August 2005 (EDT)
:::On that note, how can I see a list of templates, in case I want to utilize one. So far the only way I've figured it out, is to find a page that uses it, edit that, to steal the template info, then go to the place I'd want to use it, paste it in, then change the stuff appropriately. --[[User:Day|Day]] 11:50, 30 August 2005 (EDT)
:::Whenever this all gets sorted out, I guess it needs to go here: [[Template:Quote of the Day/Readme]]. I can certainly do it, it's just the link is small, and I thought I'd note it here for future reference, as well. --[[User:Day|Day]] 05:09, 31 August 2005 (EDT)
::::So... I guess I should go ahead and ask some specific questions... I assume we incluse the words said in double-quotes. It's really the attributation... attribution... Whatever--the indication of who said it that's the issue. Do we put the name with a dash before? Two dashes? Do we do it in-line or on the next one down or two down? Do we do it in italics or bold or normal font? Do we say the situation all the time or only if needed? Should we link the episode it came from? These are the kinds of things I think should be in the readme. --[[User:Day|Day]] 19:15, 1 September 2005 (EDT)

== NPOV? ==
Does BattlestarWiki have a NPOV policy, as Wikipedia.org does? I was noticing some pretty strong POV in [[James Callis]], for example. --[[User:Fang Aili|Fang Aili]] 10:10, 12 September 2005 (EDT)

: It does, indeed. For reference, see the [[Battlestar Wiki:Welcome, newcomers]] page. Hope that's helpful. --[[User:Day|Day]] 18:04, 12 September 2005 (EDT)

There also seems to be a great deal of opinion in the "analysis" section of most episode guides. Is it the intent to not use NPOV in this section? - Jason

== Fan Fiction ==
Since we don't have a community portal yet, I suggest listing fan fiction pages here for later deletion or movement to the forthcoming fanfiction site.

Jason:

The "Analysis" section of this article doesn't seem very neutral in tone to me.

Red-Eye

2005-09-23T22:00:22Z

Jason:

"Red-Eye" was the name given to the only surviving [[Cylon Centurion (TOS)|Centurion]] that crash-landed on the planet [[Equellus]] in a [[Cylon Raider (TOS)|raider]]. [[Lacerta]] found the cylon in the wreckage of its ship and used the Centurion -- who believed that Lacerta was its "[[Imperious Leader]]" (most likely because of damage to its memory it suffered in the crash) -- to terrorize the local towns people for nine [[yahren]].

Red-Eye obtained a Colonial [[laser pistol]] from [[Puppis]]' father, a marooned Colonial [[Warrior]] known as [[Martin]], who had arrived some time previously and who attacked the cylon on sight.

Red-Eye's armored exterior was proof against any [[numo]], the only weapon available to the natives of [[Equellus]]. When [[Apollo(TOS)|Apollo]] encountered it the centurion had numerous dents from previous attempts to destroy it, none of which had seriously damaged it. Red-Eye's sensor eye made a sound distinctly different from that of most cylon centurions, perhaps again due to damage it suffered in the original crash.

Under [[Lacerta]], Red-Eye appropriated "tribute" (i.e., livestock, food, valuables) from the townspeople in exchange for their lives. Lacerta's reign of terror ended after [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] was forced to land on the planet. At first Apollo refused to act against Red-Eye, believing that more Cylons might be present on the planet. He destroyed the Cylon after he heard the story of Red-Eye's origin and realized that it was alone.

In total, 10 people died at Red-Eye's hand, including [[Bootes]], [[Puppis]]' uncle. ([[The Lost Warrior (TOS)]])

Portrayed by [[IMDB-person:Rex Cutter|Rex Cutter]]

== Notes ==

It is unknown what weapon, if any, was used by "Red-Eye" to kill Martin.

Red-Eye rode a horse during the episode.

Rex Cutter also portrayed a Cylon Centurion in the <i>[[Galactica 1980]]</i> episode "[[The Return of Starbuck]]".
