| | |
| The current podcast situation leaves us playing catch up (whenever the first three are released). Thankfully, I've located a potential [http://forums.scifi.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=681054&view=findpost&p=5144602 volunteer] for transcribing the third episode, and I'm definitely interested in doing "Six of One". Would anybody like to step up and take on "He That Believeth in Me"? That way we'd have the first three episodes going in parallel, which ought to get us caught up in short order. Speaking of ketchup, if anybody has a chance, there are an inordinate amount of acts that need to be verified over at [[BW:POD]]. Verifying the acts is a far less painful act than the transcription process, and any help on that is appreciated. I'd step up myself, but as the transcriber of most of the acts I'm not really eligible. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 00:28, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

| ::Awesome! And, not as far as I could tell, though I'm not picky as to how he gets the transcript in, whether it's by creating an account or sending it via other means (email, etc) and me posting it for him. Hopefully he'll create an account, though, and we'll have a new Galactipedian in the fold. I'll cross that bridge once the podcasts are posted. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 11:59, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

| :::I'm not saying he must have an account here, just that it'd be more useful if he transcribed directly to the wiki.

| == Double redirects ==
| |
| | |
| When I discovered [[Special:Doubleredirects]] and started checking it regularly and fixing double redirects, I noticed nobody really cares or knows about them. Now that Season 4 is airing, multiple pages are being moved every week, creating more double redirects than ever before. I changed the [[MediaWiki:Movepage-moved|message]] you see after moving a page so it mentioned double redirects and pages linking to the old name, but nobody seems to have noticed that either. I've just fixed another batch of double redirects, so I'd like to draw attention to this: whenever you move a page, all redirects to that page will become double redirects (which are invalid and don't work). So please, people, after moving a page, [[Special:Doubleredirects|check]] whether you've created any and [[Special:Whatlinkshere|see]] if you have to change a name on pages linking to the old title. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 13:32, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

| == Volunteering Translator in need of help ==
| |
| | |
| Hi
| |
| | |
| Apologies in advance if this is not the right place to post my request for help. but I'm at my wits' end and utterly lost after navigating this site over and over. I am a frequent user of wikis, but truth is this is the first time a take a peek behind the curtain.
| |
| I would like to "serve" as a translator for the Spanish site (I'm a bilingual philologist with time to spare) but I don't know the correct procedure as to where to submit my request to join the translation team. I have already translated some articles on some of the main characters that look fine when previewed, but I really don't know what the next step is.
| |
| So, could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks (and again apologies if I have posted this on the wrong place)
| |
| :Hi! Get in touch with [[:es:Usuario:Baltar Gaiolas|Usuario:Baltar Gaiolas]] ont he Spanish wiki. He's our main contact over there and he can direct you around. You can also check out the [[BW:i18n]] project page for more information. [[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|talk]]) 14:01, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

| == Spanish titles == | | == Request For Article Deletion == |
| | Hello, I hope this is the correct page to ask for such things. I have done a lot of editing on the BSG: Deadlock articles and I have taken note that there was a duplicate article created (possibly my mistake) Please can I request that [[Assault Raptor|this]] (assault raptor) article be deleted? The duplicate for this article is [[Assault Raptor (Deadlock)|here]]. {{unsigned|Fisher 2000}} |
|
| |
|
| Hi there Chief(s)!<br/>
| | : No worries! The duplicate has been deleted. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 03:05, 14 February 2024 (UTC) |
| I have recently come across a series of discrepancies in the Spanish translation of the Episode list. Some episodes appear to be direct translations of the original title in English, but do not match the official title they were released with on Sci-Fi in Spain, or the ones listed on the Spanish-language DVD sets. I have been surfing the net searching for information on the different versions, if any exists, of the TV show in Latin America, but I have not found any, apart from the fact that TNT LA broadcasts the Latin version, subtitled, and obviously keeping the original titles in English.<br/>
| |
| Since we cannot have 3 different titles for the same episode, which is, in your opinion, the best way to proceed? Have you got any additional information on this topic? For the time being I have suggested to use Sci-Fi Spain as reference, since that is, imho, the only official source and I assume it complies with the wiki's policy. Anyway, any piece of advice?<br/>
| |
| -- [[User:Mouan|Mouan]] 13:01, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
| |
| : I would go with Sci-Fi Spain as a reference. Use their title. As for the other titles for that episode, simply make those titles redirect to the main page. Do you know how to make redirects at all? It's not that hard -- it's actually mind-numbingly easy -- but let us know! :D -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 14:40, 2 May 2008 (UTC) | |
| ::Thanks for the info, Chief! I've changed the titles according to the official source, Sci-Fi Spain. The problem is that I am so frakkin' lost most all the time ''(yes, I'm *that* Viper pilot with a map and the "help-me-I-am-lost" face)'', and afraid of changing what I shouldn't, that it takes me ages getting anything done around there *grumble, grumble, grumble* {{unsigned|Mouan}}

| |
| ::::One thing. Imagine someone created a page and the title of the page is wrong. How do you edit it so when it's listed on the corresponding category is listed correctly? I have been correcting episodes and I have changed the titles according to Sci-Fi throughout the thext (Episode Data, and every time the episode title is listed). I have changed the titles on the Episode List and Guide, but it's still listed wrong, and editing the page itself does not offer me the posibility to edit the page's title :(-- [[User:Mouan|Mouan]] 20:22, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

| :::::You gotta click the "Move" tab above the page (or "trasladar" in Spanish), which will allow you to change the page's name.
