What is the source for Mrs. Adama's name being "Evelyn" and Adama's parents having divorced while he was in his teens. --Noneofyourbusiness 23:41, 27 April 2006 (EST)
- SkyOne. See the bottom of William Adama. --April Arcus 23:00, 27 April 2006 (CDT)
- Right. I added notes that the canonicity of those data is questionable as SkyOne info has been contradicted onscreen before (see the SkyOne descriptions of Lee Adama and Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)).

Character Photo
A TV Guide article has printed an on-set photo of Joseph Adama and Daniel Graystone. A scan is posted here. Is it suitable for a portrait for the character page?
- Provided that we note the source, and preferably crop the photo as appropriate, I can't see why not at this early stage. Use the main clip's origin, however, not the LiveJournal page. --Spencerian 22:54, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
