== Overview ==
''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' begins to be stripped of parts, and [[William Adama|Adama]] calls for volunteers for a final mission.<ref>http://video.scifi.com/player/?id=1054906</ref>

== Summary ==
{{expansion}}

=== Teaser ===

=== Act 1 ===
'''In Caprica City'''
*The Act opens with a montage, including a galaxy, a bird trapped in a skylight, water falling into a pool, and light over a planet. A shot of a city can be seen, with the words "Caprica City - Before the Fall".
*[[William_Adama|Bill Adama]] is conversing with another gentleman in a shaded room. Adama talks about his combat experience, commanding billions of cubits of men and materials, but doesn't want to go through with something. The man responds that he's only asking for one hour of his time, and that "sometimes there are things that you gotta do."
*Across the city, Dr. Gaius Balter is speaking with Caprica-Six in a limo, talking briefly about having things done for you as opposed to being independent. Baltar and Caprica-Six being fooling around in the limo, when he a call comes through. Baltar is immediately shaken, apologizing, and asking the other person to wait for him. The other person sounds ready to leave, but Baltar tells the person on the other end to wait for him, or he will sue them for abandonment.
*Laura Roslin is sending out the last guest from a baby shower she hosted for her sister. Laura and her two younger sisters then sit on the couch, celebrating and laughing together.
*In an apartment kitchen, Kara Thrace is contemplating something and preparing food when the doorbell rings. Kara is surprised, saying they're early, and greets Lee Adama at the door, carrying flowers. Kara invites him in, and calls Zach to come outside. Zach comes out and greets his brother, and introduces Kara as his girlfriend.
*Baltar is then negotiating with Nurse Barbara stay with her father at his apartment, after she is stabbed with a steak knife. Caprica-Six walks in, despite Baltar's instructions to stay in the car. Baltar starts berating his father over the fact that he's driven away three nurses, at great cost to him, while his father starts talking about Baltar's past. Baltar starts yelling and hitting his father, demanding him to shut up. Baltar then sends Caprica-Six away, saying he will be spending the rest of the evening with his father.
*Laura Roslin is approached by two Caprica City Police officers at her apartment. The two inform her that last night her father and her sisters have died, sideswiped in a car accident. The other driver survived, but had been intoxicated. Roslin, upset but calm asks the officers to leave. Still in her pajamas, she walks to a nearby fountain, and rests on a nearby rock, letting the fountain wash over her. The drops of water falling into the pond match was seen in the earlier montage.

'''Aboard [[Galactica|''Galactica'']]'''
*The scene cuts to an IV drip, overlooking Laura Roslin resting in Sickbay.
*In the Hangar Bay, Lee Adama is complaining about the amount of materials the ship captains want from Galactica. Lee is signing a number of documents, when a deckhand argues over the fact that the magnetic accelerators are being stripped. While Lee points out that they can be used as autoloaders for the civilian ships, the deckhand says that "it's like tearing the old girl's heart out", as it's used in launching Vipers. Lee compromises that the accelerators will be last thing they remove from Galactica, then they'll "turn out the lights, and let the old girl die in peace."

=== Act 2 ===

=== Act 3 ===

=== Act 4 ===

== Notes ==

* This episode is the first part of a three hour series finale<ref>http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2008/06/battlestars-fin.html</ref>.
* The episode does not have an opening teaser beyond the "Previously..." segment and a brief depiction of Galactica deckhands and several Baseship Number Eight pilots guiding passengers to ships and other ''Galactica'' bound ships from the Baseship. Nor does the opening credits include clips from the episode, the first time this has happened since the start of Season 3.
*We finally learn [[Sherman Cottle|Cottle]]'s first name: Sherman. Adama calls him by it when telling him he's too valuable for the fleet to lose.
* It is revealed that [[Laura Roslin]] had two sisters (one pregnant), and that they and her father were killed in an automobile accident at some point before she was appointed as Secretary of Education under the Adar Administration.
* Baltar's father appears for the first time, and it's confirmed that Baltar's accent is an affected one as he had previously admitted to doing so in [[Dirty Hands]].
* Baltar forgot then name of [[Caprica-Six]] despite having a relationship with her.
* Cultural oddity: keep an eye on the rear window of Baltar's limo for a recognizable Vancouver, B.C. street sign.
* After several episodes leaving the facts open to speculation, it is confirmed that the ''Galactica'' pilots that took part in the mutiny, such as [[Racetrack]], were incarcerated and not executed. Ronald D. Moore had previously said that Racetrack, [[Skulls]] and other mutiny participants were confined on the prison ship ''[[Astral Queen]]'' in his podcast for [[Deadlock]]. Also confirmed [[Galen Tyrol]] was imprisoned for his role in unwittingly helping Boomer to escape with Hera (a scene indicating this was filmed for "[[Islanded in a Stream of Stars]]" but cut from the televised version).
* For the first time in many episodes, the six surviving members of the [[Significant Seven]] appear in the same episode (albeit [[Leoben]] appears only in the opening recap).
* In the flashback to Starbuck's apartment, the painting of the Eye of Jupiter can be seen behind her when she opens the door.
*As Hybrid Anders is reciting his seemingly random phrases to a listening Admiral Adama and Captain Thrace he says "Slip the surly bonds of Earth and touch the face of perfection" This is a variation of a real life quote made by [[Wikipedia:John Gillespie Magee, Jr|John Gillespie Magee, Jr.]] in his 1941 poem [[Wikipedia: High Flight|High Flight]]: "Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth, And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings..." [http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/highflig.htm]

== Analysis ==
*Cavil plans to use Hera to find out how she was created in order to continue the Cylon species, presumably through normal reproduction.
**It also proves both Starbuck's and Athena's worst fears that Cavil intends to dissect Hera to discover the secret of procreation.
*Roslin likely feels quite protective of Hera as despite being barely able to walk, she volunteers for the rescue mission (although her love for Adama likely also played a part in her decision).
*Cottle may be either the best doctor in the fleet or one of the only ones as Adama says he's too valuable for the fleet to lose on the rescue mission.
*Baltar seems conflicted when volunteers are called. This inner conflict stems from his earlier conversation with Lee Adama where he confessed that he had never done anything for purely selfless motivations with no gain for himself. He does not, however, cross the line and join the volunteers.
** If Baltar does join, then it would seem likely that all the elements are in place to fulfil the Opera House vision: Athena, Roslin, Caprica Six and Baltar will all be in pursuit of Hera.
*Much of the crew is loyal enough to Adama that they're willing to go on a likely one way mission to rescue someone just because he asked.
*In the brig Tyrol tells Helo-who is surprisingly civil even sympathetic toward Tyrol given his hand in the abduction-that they are all the same referring to the Eights. He says it as a word of advice and warning. That he made them the same and therefore can only expect betrayal from Athena as what happened to Tyrol at the hands of Boomer. However, given the fact that he has no first hand knowledge of making the Eights and the other Cylons and the psychic pain Galen suffered at the betrayal, his opinion most likely comes from deep, deep, abiding pain and not a intellectual analysis in his disregard of the individuality of Athena and the other Eights and particularly Athena's track record of loyalty. This also maybe a case of misery loves company and Tyrol wants to see Helo and Athena split up to allay his own feelings of being duped, by saying they are all a like and putting doubt in Helo's mind. Also, by claiming that Athena and the other Eights are just machines this could mitigate the guilt for his role in the abduction and possible death of Hera. If Athena is just a machine, then she cannot be hurt emotionally. She has no emotions, just a programmed facsimile. Tyrol wouldn't have to feel responsible for such pain he caused her since, as a machine, she can't really feel it sparing himself a lot of pain.
*The finale appears to be taking a character-driven approach, devoting significant screen time to pivotal flashbacks for the central characters that relate to their current circumstances.
**We see the first time Starbuck and Apollo' met, with hints alluding to their future romantic relationship.
**Roslin deals with the sudden death of her sisters and father by wading into a fountain. The gushing water cuts to a shot of her IV drip as she lies dying on Galactica.
**Baltar and Caprica six begin their relationship with an act of compassion on Six's part towards Baltar's father. Baltar's selfishness, a theme raised repeatedly in the episode, is contrasted with Caprica Six's seemingly genuine concern for [[Julius Baltar|Julius]].
*One of the shots in the opening sequence is of a sun rising over a blue planet: daybreak. It could also be a symbolization of renewed hope after the long four years of gloom and darkness.
*Hera is drawing "dots", as Cavil calls them, in the Cylon Homeworld. These are much more numerous than the simple line that she gave Starbuck, its at least a full page long. It seems to be an entire musical score. However not knowing that they are music notes Cavil can't see this.
*As Boomer stated in [[Islanded in a Stream of Stars]], her stolen Raptor had not yet had its FTL upgraded with Cylon technology. This explains why it took her 12 jumps to reach the Colony, while Racetrack arrived after what appeared to be a single jump.
*Someone left a picture of Athena about to kiss Hera on the head on the now abandoned memorial wall. Most likely it was Athena herself because Athena fears the worse and has given up on Hera's survival while Helo hasn't.

== Questions ==
=== Flashbacks ===
* To what is Adama's flashback conversation referring?
*Who was the the drunk driver that killer Roslin's sisters and father? Is he alive in the fleet today?
*Who is Sean Allison and why does his name sound familiar to Roslin?

===Mission to save Hera===
* How is [[Sam Anders]] able to provide the new location of [[the Colony]]?
** Given that it wasn't actually shown was it really Anders that gave the location?
***It's possible that being the Hybrid he could sense its location like the Rebel Hybrid could sense the location of the Resurrection Hub, or it could be that the location was in the numbers Starbuck wrote down.
* Did any of the other former mutineers, besides Racetrack and Skulls, volunteer to participate in the mission?
* As the episode began, ''Galactica'' was already being cannibalized for parts; does this mean it will be lacking vital components during the upcoming mission, or has Adama stopped the salvaging?

===Cavil's Plan===
* Has Cavil given up on the idea of salvaging Resurrection Technology?

===Miscellaneous===
*Which the Admiral, XO, President and Vice-President going after Hera who take military and political charge of the Fleet?
*Does the Admiral's offer to any over the age of 15 mean that 15 is considered legal age under colonial law?
**Could this also mean a now "adult" Boxey will take part in the mission?
* With Hotdog being one of the volunteers, and especially being aware that he may not return alive, who will take care of Nicholas?
*With [[Laura_Roslin|President Roslin]] and [[Lee Adama]] going on the mission, who will lead the Fleet?
**Is this the reason why Baltar hesitates to volunteer for the mission?

== Official Statements ==

== Noteworthy Dialogue ==
:"No one should feel obligated to join this mission in any way. This is a decision I have made for myself. If it turns out that there are not enough personnel to crew [[Galactica|''Galactica'']], I will lead a Raptor assault with anyone who is willing to join me. Let there be no illusions, this is likely to be a one-way trip! So don't volunteer out of sentiment or emotion. There is a line running down this deck. Volunteers, move to the starboard side; Everyone else, to the port. Make your choice!"
::--[[William_Adama|Admiral Adama's]] speech to the assembled crew.

Does anyone know how to put both the US and Canada in his infobox? He appears to be a dual citizen, born in the US but living and primarily working in Canada, so it would make sense to me to have both. —[[User: Silly Dan|Silly Dan]] [[User talk:Silly Dan|(talk)]] 12:01, 24 February 2007 (CST)
:It's done. I had to create a special template to be able to do this, as I can't edit [[Template:Cast Data]] itself (it's locked). I'll ask Shane to incorporate the dual nationality thing in the regular template. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]] 13:34, 24 February 2007 (CST)

}}

'''Colm Feore''' is a Canadian-American actor born in Boston, Massachusetts and now currently resident in Canada. In the latter country he shot to fame by portraying former Prime Minister [[Wikipedia:Pierre Trudeau|Pierre Trudeau]] in a 2002 [[Wikipedia:Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|CBC]] miniseries. The actress portraying Trudeau's then-wife Margaret, [[IMDB:nm0788351|Polly Shannon]], is the real-life [http://www.macleans.ca/culture/television/article.jsp?content=20050627_108031_108031 girlfriend] of [[Callum Keith Rennie]], better known in ''[[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' as [[Leoben Conoy]], a [[Cylon agent]].

Within the ''Galactica'' universe, Feore appears on-screen as [[Richard Adar]], the President of the Twelve Colonies at the time of the Cylon attack. Outside of it, Feore is perhaps best-known internationally for his intelligent portrayals of varying characters as diverse as pianist [[Wikipedia:Glenn Gould|Glenn Gould]] and Marcus Andronicus in the 1999 remake of Shakespeare's [[Wikipedia:Titus Andronicus|Titus Andronicus]].

Battlestar Wiki talk:Community Portal

2006-05-10T13:36:42Z

Northtwilight: /* Community Portal Content */

==Purpose?==
What's the goal of the Community Portal page, eventually? What kind of things should go here? If I had any idea of how to help, I'd feel better about changing it to, well, something at all. --[[User:Day|Day]] 00:49, 30 August 2005 (EDT)

: My thought was to have a list of links and references to other BSG resources and bulletin boards. -- [[User:Joe.Beaudoin|Joe Beaudoin]] 09:48, 30 August 2005 (EDT)

::Ah. So not so much a portal to the community of ''this'' site, but a portal to the greater BSG community on the web. I see. --[[User:Day|Day]] 11:47, 30 August 2005 (EDT)

::: Or it can function as both our internal community as well as the "greater" community. :-) -- [[User:Joe.Beaudoin|Joe Beaudoin]] 14:58, 30 August 2005 (EDT)

One purpose I suggest would deal with "action alerts." For example, the "Battlestar Pegasus" entry on Wikipedia has been proposed for deletion. Would it be appropriate to alert readers that they can go [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Battlestar_Pegasus| here]] to register their votes? [[User:Jtmichcock|Jtmichcock]] 07:20, 25 October 2005 (EDT)

== Village Pump? ==
I didn't know where else to post this, so i'll do it here.

Can we get a page like the wikipedia village pump? The village pump is simply an area where wikipedians (sorry, wiki-editors) can come to talk to each other about the wiki. It's where ideas can be presented and discussed, and questions can be asked. It's sort of a gathering point, from which groups can break off into dedicated projects, and etc.

I would like that just because i have a few questions and suggestions that i'd like to include interested people in, but i don't know where to talk about it. I checked the community portal, but it hasn't been made. I'd volunteer to create an initial page if i had a 'village pump' to link to. :P

As a final note, it can be called anything. "Village pump" en.wikipedia, "Beer parlour" en.wiktionary, "Le Bistro" fr.wikipedia. Probably for this site some clever name of a place that people meet on galactica... "flight deck" or... well i dunno, someone suggest a good idea!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump

[[User:Fudoreaper|Fudoreaper]] 07:10, 2 October 2005 (EDT)

: I vote for the Combat Information Center or something like that. Or Cloud 9. Something like that. I assume it'd use the Battlestar Wiki namespace or something, so as not to conflict with actual pages. --[[User:Day|Day]] 15:28, 2 October 2005 (EDT)
::I vote Cloud 9. CIC sounds too official and serious. -- [[User:Danaucpe|Danaucpe]] 17:37, October 2, 2005 (EDT)

::: I'm not a Wikipedia editor, so I don't know what the Villiage Punp is normally used for, but I suggested the CIC because it's kind of the nerve center of ''Galactica''. If it's the kind of place that would spin off [[:Category:Project Page|Project Pages]], then maybe it should be a bit serious. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, though. If its more casual and less planning, then I think ''Cloud 9'' would be a great name. Just... thought I'd be more clear. --[[User:Day|Day]] 19:18, 2 October 2005 (EDT)

:::: I don't really care what it is called but it sounds like a good ideaa --[[User:Blacklight|Blacklight]]
::::: Does anyone recall the name of the room where the pilots play cards? That's not the mess is it? Whatever it is, that would seem to be an appropriate name. --[[User:Watcher|Watcher]] 20:58, 2 October 2005 (EDT)

:::: The village pump is for all kinds of questions/suggestions/talk. Its general-purpose, and no, not very formal. If a discussion starts on the village pump that becomes more formal, the discussion is moved (maybe to a project page or something). The reason i want something like this is so i can make suggestions. :P – [[User:Fudoreaper|Fudoreaper]] 22:51, 5 October 2005 (EDT)
: Check out the [[Battlestar Wiki:Wikipedian Quorum]]... -- [[User:Joe.Beaudoin|Joe Beaudoin]] 23:17, 2 October 2005 (EDT)

:: Aw, shucks. You've just thought of everything haven't ya, Joe? Wikipedian Quorum's a great name (full of authority and such) but how about allowing a vote (I know, I know) so that all involved feel a greater sense of ownership? --[[User:Watcher|Watcher]] 01:27, 3 October 2005 (EDT)

==Timeframes?==

Hi, I've been here a while scoping the place out, and I have a question before I begin editing heavily. :) How long after an episode has aired first-run can we make changes without riling the spoiler-free crowd? (Example: Changing appropriate pages to reflect Adama's changing rank) [[User:Joemc72|Joemc72]] 14:37, 18 January 2006 (EST)

: Please direct your attention to our [[Battlestar Wiki:Spoiler Policy|Spoiler Policy]]. I think it's pretty clear. It's also linked from the main page, in case you don't want to keep coming here when you want to look at it. ;) --[[User:Day|Day]] 15:33, 18 January 2006 (EST)
:: I did notice it, and will abide by it. Please excuse my obvious buffoonery. :) [[User:Joemc72|Joemc72]] 15:39, 18 January 2006 (EST)

::: No worries. There's not hard in pointing new folks to various of our important, non-article pages. Sometimes they're hard to find. I was just giving you a bit of a hard time. Welcome aboard. --[[User:Day|Day]] 15:55, 18 January 2006 (EST)

==Community Portal Content==
Looking at Wikipedia for an example, their [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Community Portal|community portal]] has these sections:
* To do
* Active collaborations
* Ongoing projects
* About Wikipedia
* Help
* Resources
It starts out with links to the village pump, but most of the page has to do with group projects. I like the Active collaborations section. It would be nice to have a way to focus attention on articles that need help. Cylons (RDM) (and TOS for that matter) would be a good candidate for something like that. Resources would be a good way to give the Standards and Conventions some more visibility (outside Spencerian's welcome message). We have several Ongoing projects that could use attention (other than their spot in the sidebar, I suppose). Anyhow, not all of these sections might be relevent to the BattleWiki, but I thought this might at least get the ball rolling on some ideas. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 10:01, 31 January 2006 (EST)

: I would like to get the "[[Battlestar Wiki:Quality Article|Quality Article]]" idea started up as well... The Community Portal would be a good place to discuss which article needs to be worked on via a collaboration to achive a QA status. Anyone else have any other cool or wonderful ideas? -- [[User:Joe.Beaudoin|Joe Beaudoin]] 10:54, 31 January 2006 (EST)

==How to make a good Wikiportal==
I found the following [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Portal#How to make a good Wikiportal|here]]:
 
"Most Wikiportals contain the following for readers:
* A featured article and/or picture
* Links into the main category for the topic and possibly subcategories (some portals actually appear in the description page for the main category)
* General info about the subject, or links thereto
* Links to other portals (using templates)

...and for editors:
* Links to related WikiProjects.
* Links to specific articles or tasks
* Collaboration of the week, month, etc.

You may want to embark on an effort to fill the related categories with appropriate articles if this has not been done already (or add it to the portal's "todo" list so visitors can help out)."

Just some more content ideas. (It mentions featured articles, which very much jives with Joe's suggestion above). --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 13:45, 31 January 2006 (EST)

== Welcome to Battlestar Wiki! ==

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

Also, if you have any questions or suggestions you wish to offer, please feel free to do so either on your user talk page, the [[Battlestar Wiki:Wikipedian Quorum|Wikipedian Quorum]] or [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard|Administrators' noticeboard]]. Remember to sign your posts on any talk pages using four tildes (~~~~)! We look forward to your contributions to the community!--[[User:CalculatinAvatar|CalculatinAvatar]] 03:12, 1 May 2006 (CDT)
:As a further note, there are some subtleties to the linking style on a wiki. The wiki magically does the underscore (_) to space conversion, so there's no need to pipe (|) a link for that reason alone. There are special kinds of links for IMDb and Wikipedia, which are preferable for style reasons. The IMDb style is <nowiki>[[IMDB:codething|Title or Name or whatever]]</nowiki> where the "codething" is the part of an IMDb URI that looks like "nm0123456" or "tt0123456." The Wikipedia style is <nowiki>[[Wikipedia:Article title (disambiguatedasneeded)|article title]]</nowiki>
::Hi CalculatinAvatar, thanks for your message. I appreciate that pointer you listed. I just wanted to get some notes down while I could and I appreciate the help. Cheers! [[User:Northtwilight|Northtwilight]] 13:53, 1 May 2006 (CDT)

'''Leah Cairns''' grew up in Kamloops, B.C., with dreams of becoming a professional dancer. Those dreams were dashed when she broke her back in a car accident at 16. When her dance team went to an international competition in her graduating year, rather than sit and mope at home, she headed off to Costa Rica, starting an eight-year backpacking odyssey that took her to 36 countries. Prior to returning to Canada, she stumbled into an improv class at an ashram in India. A new career was born.

Leah has appeared in CTV’s comedy series Robson Arms. She has also appeared as a regular on the [http://www.playbackmag.com/articles/magazine/20060501/leos.html recently-cancelled] Canadian CITY-TV comedy series "Godiva's", as 'Jenna', a waitress & dancer. She first appeared as the Raptor pilot Racetrack in the season one [[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II|finale]] of ''Battlestar Galactica'', and was initially meant as a one-episode character. However, the production team liked her performance so much that Racetrack was expended into a regular recurring role in season 2. She will also be appearing opposite Al Pacino in the upcoming feature 88 Minutes.

Battlestar Wiki talk:Main page

2006-04-26T05:26:30Z

Northtwilight: /* Wiki */

Your potential design for the front page suffers from the same problem as the existing one. That is lack of propper navigation.

In my opinion there should be a single entry point for each of the 3 series and then through a series of sub-pages (no more than 2) lists of various headings, ie episodes, characters, cast, etc.

Using categories to navigate is not, in my opinion, a good method to find articles. In fact I came accross a page recently ([[Re-imagined Series References]]) that that was not linked to any other page, other than a page for Original Series references similarly linked. --[[User:Grafix|Grafix]] 05:25, 14 March 2006 (CST)

:I know. I just started so there is going to be stuff that I haven't done yet. Right now I am just trying to get a base to that I can start from some where. I was reading the discussion on the current main page so I am trying to take everything into account. We should reall have portals and not catagories for all the different things in the upper bar. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] 05:42, 14 March 2006 (CST)

:I think what we need is a main page that just fits a screen with links to a short summary for each series. This summary then links to separate pages as listed in my previous post and then on to the main articles. None of the summary or link pages should be more than a screenfull for clarity. --[[User:Grafix|Grafix]] 05:51, 14 March 2006 (CST)

:Yep. I got that in my head. I am just trying to code it now. It's almost like following the format of Wikipedia (English), but with the Battlestar Idea. I got some cool names for the main sections. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] 06:06, 14 March 2006 (CST)

:Ok. To put everything into a "Portal" like Wikipedia, we have to do some serious re-design and I need to talk to Joe first before anything. Hopefully he will contact me soon. (''*Hint Hint*'') --[[User:Shane|Shane]] 06:36, 14 March 2006 (CST)

::If you want to get his attention, you might have better luck if you drop him a note on [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|his talk page]]. That usually triggers an email (if you've got it set up that way) letting the user know they have a message. Not everybody reads the Recent Changes compulsively. (Like I do.) Glad to see you run with this, though! --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 06:51, 14 March 2006 (CST)
::I sent him something over Google talk. I saw your community portal. I can work those colors into the design. And I been just going through, during this time off from shows showing, we can really revamp the site and make it ''very clean and mean''! --[[User:Shane|Shane]] 07:05, 14 March 2006 (CST)

I'm just amazed at how fast this Portal project is going. Soon we will have a navigable wiki to be proud of. --[[User:Grafix|Grafix]] 17:03, 14 March 2006 (CST)

Before this goes live are we going to have a period of time to test all the portals? --[[User:Grafix|Grafix]] 03:08, 16 March 2006 (CST)
:Oh yeah. No worries. It'll take some time to get this all going. Even if we got all the portals up, there's a lot that needs to be established in terms of policy/procedure anyway. (Process for selecting featured articles, etc.) The portals are a lot of the foundation that this new main page seems to be based on, so we'll want to have them solid before we prop anything on top of them. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 07:17, 16 March 2006 (CST)
:This main page will most likly stay under my name until we get everything done. I mean, we have till October to work on it :) --[[User:Shane|Shane]] 10:34, 16 March 2006 (CST)

:I think the white-on-bright-red color scheme looks odd/is weird to read. Thoughts?--[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] ([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]]) 15:03, 6 April 2006 (CDT)
::I agree, it doesn't fit the existing colour scheme. I fact I don't like the white on black at all. --[[User:Grafix|Grafix]] 16:55, 6 April 2006 (CDT)
:::What I don't like is the bright red bars; I like the dull red. Easier to read.--[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] ([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]]) 18:23, 6 April 2006 (CDT)

One this I never been good at are colors, so if you want to post some colors to use. I created a template so when can post colors. [[:Template:ColorWheel|Color Wheel]] so you can post ideas. Of course you post the colors on this page and not that page. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]]) 18:37, 6 April 2006 (CDT)

: The content on the page looks pretty good so far. Ive got a few idea but im a bit busy today to write them out. My first concern though is all the colour. I quite like the homepage now with its mostly black background, easier to read and looks a bit cleaner. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] 03:05, 7 April 2006 (CDT)

== Discussion ==

I'm not sure which I like better, but I think both are better than the "White on bright red". Maybe not even specify a background, allowing the css style to determine the main background color and text color? --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 14:16, 7 April 2006 (CDT)
: All the colros we spefic if would go in the CSS so it can be used across all the templates. right now everything is hardcoded in. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]]) 14:46, 7 April 2006 (CDT)

== Style Consensus ==

Why not use pattern #1 for now, since that's the most readable. Unless anyone objects to it, I don't see the need for a vote. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 18:20, 21 April 2006 (CDT)

#[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 18:56, 21 April 2006 (CDT) Comment: I prefer the white header text of pattern 2. Also, you should post something about this on the Quorum, lest concerned users miss it.
#:Can this get posted where the Portal notice is right now? A link to the [[User:Shane/Main Page]] and a link to an example portal? --[[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]]) 08:53, 22 April 2006 (CDT)

#[[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] [[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] 15:58, 22 April 2006 (CDT) - Go with the white header instead of the yellow one -- besides, it is too confusing with the fact that links are yellow-colored as well.
#:That can be done. Good point. :) --[[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]]) 16:26, 22 April 2006 (CDT)

#--[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] ([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]]) 15:21, 22 April 2006 (CDT) The white header is easier on the eyes; I think you meant to post under "pattern 2" Peter.
#:No, in general I prefer the other aspects of Pattern 1, such as the dark background. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 15:46, 22 April 2006 (CDT)

==Wiki==
I thought we were not going to use the word Wikipedia. Shouldn't the heading be "Welcome to the Battlestar Wiki"?

Sorry forgot to sign before. Other than that the portal is looking good. --[[User:Grafix|Grafix]] 13:37, 24 April 2006 (CDT)
:Oops. :) --[[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]]) 13:47, 24 April 2006 (CDT)

Doesn't the 'Did you know / So Say We All' section look a bit weird ? In the context of other wikis it sounds really awkward imho. 'So say we all' is a statement, not a question; it flows strangely as written, to me. --[[User:northtwilight|northtwilight]] 17:45, 24 April 2006 (CDT)
:Hey, looks much better, thanks. --[[User:northtwilight|northtwilight]] 01:31, 26 April 2006 (CDT)

== Link locations and Miscellany ==

I recommend that the series links below the central header be centered on the page. Also, it's not clear that the links to the right of the "Welcome" are for RDM. We know that the site is RDM heavy, but I remember that we try not to make so much emphasis on this unless spelled-out. Can we place a subheader over/near these links so that people know these links are generally about the RDM show? Else, also add a link to the RDM series with the other series links.

Finally, there remain some significant typos and other awkward phrasing. I, too, am not too cool on the "So say we all" usage. It should probably just be "Did you know...?". --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 11:42, 25 April 2006 (CDT)
:: I can check on the headers. Just so Wiki code to code in. The links underneath the header could be the problem. Maybe instead of putting the RDM stuff all in a row, maybe just all of the series links. So say you all, it as something Steel started. I liked it.. Maybe another phrase instead of the generic. :) --[[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]]) 11:54, 25 April 2006 (CDT)
