Welcome to Battlestar Wiki!

Welcome to the Wiki, Spartan-117. Tell us about yourself on your user page. We have a template that lets you put some information about yourself in a nice-looking box.

Battlestar Wiki is an encyclopedia on officially-licensed stories, aired episodes, and other products of the Battlestar universes. Make sure that your contributions fit Battlestar Wiki's purpose, avoiding what we aren't.

Our editing standards and conventions policies may differ from other wikis, especially in verb tense and voice, capitalization and the like. Please read this policy. We have an editing tutorial and wiki markup codes to help you.

Our policies on original research differ from places such as Wikipedia. We allow some research based on aired episode content, but don't allow speculation that isn't supported from episode events.

Battlestar Wiki's many projects help improve our content. Are you an Original Series fan? Help out in the Original Series Article Project. Non-English versions of Battlestar Wiki also need contributors, and helpers for our podcast transcriptions are also welcome. New projects should be brought to our Think Tank, where we hash out large-scale ideas before implementing them.

Any questions about an article can be entered on the article's talk page. General questions about the wiki can be brought to the Quorum or the administrators' noticeboard. To sign your posts on any talk page, just enter four tildes (~~~~)!

We look forward to your contributions to the community! --Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 21:15, 29 May 2007 (CDT)

Regarding edit on Basestar (TOS)

Hi, welcome to the Wiki! I'm letting you know that I removed your recent edit on the Basestar (TOS) article mainly because it was conjecture. Also, I wasn't entirely sure what you meant by the addition, since it seemed to be more or less an incomplete idea. If you could let me know what you were aiming for, perhaps I can help you flesh out your point? -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 21:24, 29 May 2007 (CDT)

I just reverted a more recent edit. It seems, Spartan, that you've fleshed out the idea, but it's the kind of idea that really belongs in the talk page, not the article itself. --BklynBruzer 22:46, 29 May 2007 (CDT)

He disagrees that the basestar is only an homage and thinks that it was really used in the Cylon War, but with possibly more primitive weapons. It's there and possibly needs to be explained, but it's strange that the Cylons would use own ships so quickly, when in fact they started out as Colonial soldiers. But as said, it's something for the talk pages. Saying things like "I think" and "I disagree" in articles is a big no-no. --Serenity 08:53, 30 May 2007 (CDT)

-:I think he meant that the basestar would not be identical to the TOS basestar, but rather use TNS weapons and technology, maybe in a more primitive form than the ones used later. Though it's weird that the Cylons even have own ships in the first rebellion, since they started out as Colonial soldiers. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 08:42, 30 May 2007 (CDT)
