*{{support}}. Recent edits added (the pictures, mainly) make this article stand out more, in addition to standardizations by others beforehand. Considering we haven't any captures available of other colonies, it works well enough. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 07:47, 17 May 2007 (CDT)
*{{support}} Good and informative article in general. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 08:15, 17 May 2007 (CDT)
*{{neutral}} This a good article, however, I'm voting for [[Delphi]] this time. Would gladly support another time. [[User:JubalHarshaw|JubalHarshaw]] 11:44, 17 May 2007 (CDT)
*{{neutral}} Definitely worthy of FA status, in my view, but I'm waiting to see whether or not [[Delphi]] gets the appropriate love before casting a support vote for this article. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 09:38, 20 May 2007 (CDT)
*{{support}} Very informative and well-written. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 12:12, 20 May 2007 (CDT)
*{{oppose}} Not good enough, in my opinion. --[[User:BklynBruzer|BklynBruzer]] 13:49, 20 May 2007 (CDT)
*{{oppose}} Needs to be "condised" more. [[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 16:21, 20 May 2007 (CDT)
==[[Tricia Helfer]]==
*{{oppose}}. Who can say "nay" to Tricia? I have to, as the article still has minor voicing problems and doesn't quite stand out to me as much as [[Audrey Landers]] did. I think there are better biographies. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 07:47, 17 May 2007 (CDT)
*{{oppose}} Nothing special. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 08:15, 17 May 2007 (CDT)

*{{oppose}} Really needs much more love, in addition to interior pictures. Also, I imagine that once we learn more about that "Life Aboard a Basestar" book RDM wrote for the actors, the article would see a definite improvement. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 09:37, 20 May 2007 (CDT)

*{{support}} This article was well written, and needed just an additional picture or two to make it work. A suitable and not-often-seen article that should get attention. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 08:10, 17 May 2007 (CDT)

* {{Neutral}} - Not that it isn't a good article, it's just that something strikes me wrong about it. It's almost poetry more than an encyclopedia article. Not that that is bad. Just ... non-FA, IMHO. [[User:JubalHarshaw|JubalHarshaw]] 15:14, 10 April 2007 (CDT)
**{{comment}} I re-structured the article. It's now closer to what you suggested and indeed better. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 07:20, 21 May 2007 (CDT)

::{{comment}}: Aw, and I thought my recent changes with the dual pictures of Six and a bullethead were just ''witty''. :) Still, from an information perspective, I guess I can understand. It's not like we're sensationalism over substance like CNN or something. :P --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 15:30, 10 April 2007 (CDT)
:::Don't get me wrong, Spencerian ... I like it, it's clean, simple, gets the job done. It's a great one sheet intro to the Cylons! I have changed my vote to Neutral. :) [[User:JubalHarshaw|JubalHarshaw]] 18:57, 10 April 2007 (CDT)

* {{Support}} - Hmm, yes. Great images, detail, writing. [[User:JubalHarshaw|JubalHarshaw]] 19:18, 10 April 2007 (CDT)
