The first edit i made was a minor one, the sentence used the term "virtual holocaust" which i changed to holocaust and rearranged the sentence, but i believe the meaning is the same. the reason i did this was because the word "virtual" could be confused. it was a real holocaust, not a virtual one, as in [[Virtual beings]]. | The first edit i made was a minor one, the sentence used the term "virtual holocaust" which i changed to holocaust and rearranged the sentence, but i believe the meaning is the same. the reason i did this was because the word "virtual" could be confused. it was a real holocaust, not a virtual one, as in [[Virtual beings]]. --[[User:Philpotomous|Philpotomous]] | ||
:The edit was fine. Not everything is her is well worded, because there are many contributors and it's a lot of work to really check everything. So if you come across other bad phrases or outright errors, just correct them :) | :The edit was fine.

Welcome to Battlestar Wiki!
Welcome to the Wiki, Philpotomous. 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 does not allow fan fiction articles.
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 (~~~~).
Remember that talk pages are for questions about the article connected to that talk page, and aren't for long discussions about the show. To chat as much as you'd like about the show (or other topics), why not set up a free account on the Battlestar Forum bulletin board?
We look forward to your contributions to the Battlestar Wiki community! --Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New 09:49, 31 July 2007 (CDT) Bold text
First edit
The first edit i made was a minor one, the sentence used the term "virtual holocaust" which i changed to holocaust and rearranged the sentence, but i believe the meaning is the same. the reason i did this was because the word "virtual" could be confused. it was a real holocaust, not a virtual one, as in Virtual beings. --Philpotomous
