| I got this error message when saving the miniseries page yesterday, what does it mean? | | Thank you so much for your words of welcome into this well put together website as well as the offer to display my artwork on a budding Battlestar Galactica fansite. I am flattered by your proposal and I would be happy to participate. I do not claim on being the best fan artist out there. I don't have graphic images or fancy computer programs. All I have is a sheet of paper, colored pencils, a scanner (which is momentarily broken), and a PowerPoint program to add additional information. Regardless, I will try my best to give BSG fans what they want. I would be honored to put my art on your site. |

| == Japanese articles ==
| | Regarding your suggestions on what format to use for the Fan Art gallery, I think it should definitely be in a gallery format. Being a long time user of Wikis everywhere, I always found it easier to visually see the picture than to continuously click on an article and read look at it to see what it's like. Please advise. |

| Hey SV, as you already know I have been creating some articles in Japanese. When I was just starting I made a couple mistakes. Unfortunately I messed up the titles of the pages, so we have links to pages that really aren't needed and should be, if I may quote from Stewie, "Eliminated." Here are the links that I would appreciate being destroyed:

| ::These links were created incorrectly. #1 has a space between the jp: and the title, I did not do that on any of the other episode guide titles. It can be redirected to this link if you can't eliminate the page: [[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I/jp:あんたの負担を落とす, 部分 一]]. #2 is incorrect because Part I does not jive with the ending of the title in Japanese: 部分 (ニ)=2. So the second link if it can't be destroyed can be redirected to: [[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II/jp:あんたの負担を落とす, 部分 ニ].

| Great work with the podcast transcription, SV! Something so minor that I hate to even mention it, but for the multipart episodes I use [http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/episodes Sci Fi's episode list] as my guide for the titling of episodes (i.e. using Part 1 and 2 instead of Part I and II). So when I verified your podcast, I changed the "I's" and "II's" to "One's" or "Two's" and used the long hand version just to err on the side of caution with regards to the [[Battlestar_Wiki:Standards_and_Conventions#Spelling_and_Numbers|Standards and Conventions]].

| While re-watching Act of Contrition I noticed a few more Galactica squadrons shown on the walls in the pilots' ready room. In the beginning of the ep when Adama enters, he touches the "Lest We Forget" picture then passes a squadron crest labeled "Vampires". A minute or two later, when we see Sgt. Hadrian standing against the wall, we can clearly see 7th Squadron "Battleaxe" and 4th squadron "Demons" on the wall behind her. How could one go about adding this to the wiki?[[User:AnteaterFeeder|AnteaterFeeder]] 21:04, 20 January 2007 (CST)

| ::I recall seeing some of these squadrons (and their associated patches) floating around in some of the signatures of folks at the scifi.com bulletin boards and elsewhere. There's not much info to be had, so rather than creating a tiny article for each of those, maybe we should consider [[Squadrons of Galactica]] or [[Squadrons of the Colonial Fleet]] that lists out all the squadron names and insignia that we can find, with possible redirects to that article from the individual unit names. Maybe we should bring this up at List of Pilots (RDM) or a similar article, to see if we can find some other hands? --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 21:25, 20 January 2007 (CST)
| |
| :::That sounds like a good idea-- the "Galactica Squadrons" page. I wouldn't know how to go about making that page. I'm still pretty new at this. I did however note that the Vampires are the 6th squadron as well as an 8th squadron (an 8 on a red spade), and a Viper Weapons School logo on the walls too. I will bring this up in the list of pilots page. {{unsigned|AnteaterFeeder}}
| |

| ::::I tried to post this last night (blasted internet), but something like [[Squadrons of Battlestar Galactica]] works. I've been collecting screenshots of the logos when I could trying to identify them, but unfortunately, most are too blurry to read with NTSC DVDs. There is also some good shots of crests during the debate scene in LDYB part I. Finally, there is also a crest for a "Viper Weapons School", presumably the colonial equivelant of the [[w:United States Naval Fighter Weapons School|US Naval Fighter Weapons School]], aka TOPGUN. This could be mentioned in the Colonial fleet article. --[[User:Talos|Talos]] 06:40, 21 January 2007 (CST)
