Hey. [http://battlestarwiki.org/index.php?title=Battlestar_Wiki:Characters&curid=3315&diff=18646&oldid=17786 Nice work]. Probably we should rework that section, now, to simply be a note to leave the Unknown Delegate alone. However, it's 4:33am here and I don't feel like doing it just now. Anyway, welcome and glad to have you. --[[User:Day|Day]] 05:33, 3 December 2005 (EST)
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.


== King of the TOS Pages! ==
Thank you so much for the offer. So say we all (or maybe just me).


Hey, Steel. I'm sure many of us are noticing you taking point in getting the TOS pages filled in and fortified. It's much appreciated. Someday, when I'm drunk, I'll buy my TOS DVDs and join in. (I'll need some crystal meth to go to get myself to watch Galactica 1980, but you gotta do what you gotta do.) --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 10:08, 14 December 2005 (EST)

:Thanks!  I agreed completely with your observation that our TOS deficiencies are pretty embarrassing.  Actually, much of the progress stems from working the [[Special:Wantedpages]] as suggested by the "Original Series Article Development Project."  That was the first I had heard of that page, and I love it!  A lot of the bigger offenders were topics where there was plenty of information available, it was just spread out across the wiki.  Hopefully it won't be too long before the front page of the "wanted" pages are all user pages. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 10:29, 14 December 2005 (EST)

==Screenshots==
Mr. Viper,


First off, although I am not personally a fan of TOS, I want to commend you for your contributions to those pages here. I think our site has benifited immensely during the relatively short time you've been active here.
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.


Secondly, I note that there is a quite a dearth of good illustrative screen captures from TOS episodes. To that end, I would like to offer to donate a copy of the TOS DVD box set to you via Amazon.com or somesuch. Let me know if this would be useful. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 19:30, 22 December 2005 (EST)

Dear Mr. Viper (I think that's going to be your new nickname if I may be so bold),


Seeing how you've just as obsessed with this place as many of us are, [[Battlestar_Wiki:Requests_for_adminship/Steelviper|I've nominated you as an administator.]] --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 11:44, 27 December 2005 (EST)
I will definitely spread the word to other BSG Deviants. The only reason I haven't been posting art is (this is humiliating) I forgot how to upload images.

Dear Mr. Viper,
 
As you have told me, I have started to direct Deviants to BSP. I haven't just directed, I've downright recruited. I already have at least five incredibly gifted artists who have agreed to let us use their pictures. However, one of them asked if this is good for college credit. Is it? Please contact me ASAP.

Mr. Viper,
 
I have a good idea. Really good idea.
 
You know how on the character pages in BSW, they give all this info on the colony, the job, the birth name, etc. of the character. What if we used that same format for the users of BSP? See my user page to get the idea of what I'm talking about.
 
If you like it, submit your own. I can't wait to see what colony you're from.

Thanks for the offer and hospitality, Mr. Viper

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.

Thank you so much for the offer. So say we all (or maybe just me).

Definitely gallery format

Mr. Viper,

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.

Dear Mr. Viper (I think that's going to be your new nickname if I may be so bold),

I will definitely spread the word to other BSG Deviants. The only reason I haven't been posting art is (this is humiliating) I forgot how to upload images.

Incompetently yours, Forestbender

You're gonna be happy with me, Mr. Viper

Dear Mr. Viper,

As you have told me, I have started to direct Deviants to BSP. I haven't just directed, I've downright recruited. I already have at least five incredibly gifted artists who have agreed to let us use their pictures. However, one of them asked if this is good for college credit. Is it? Please contact me ASAP.

BSP

Mr. Viper,

I have a good idea. Really good idea.

You know how on the character pages in BSW, they give all this info on the colony, the job, the birth name, etc. of the character. What if we used that same format for the users of BSP? See my user page to get the idea of what I'm talking about.

If you like it, submit your own. I can't wait to see what colony you're from.

-Forestbender

While we could add "Colony" to the User Data template, I'm not sure how frequently it'd get filled out. I'm not terribly proud of my birth colony (based on my birthdate) of Aquaria, seeing as how badly our team got stomped by the Picon Panthers last season. Though if people did want to fill in that kind of information, using the Character Data template like you did is the perfect way to do it, in my opinion. --Steelviper 15:36, 22 March 2008 (CDT)
