Priorities (in no particular order):
I have watched this featured episode.
 
* TOS Character histories
**If nobody else has done this, I may start updating the character histories of major characters to be more like [[Boomer (TOS)]], having a brief synopsis of what happens to them throughout the series (complete with episode citations).
 
* Episode summaries
**There's only one season worth of material, so there's not much excuse not to have episode summaries on all of the TOS episodes.
 
===[[Battlestar Wiki:Island of Misfit Images|Island of Misfit Images]]===
I'd encourage everybody to check out the [[Battlestar Wiki:Island of Misfit Images|Island of Misfit Images]], the home of some images that have been uploaded but not linked to. Hopefully you can either help them find a good home, or help identify ones that need to be deleted.


===[[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard|Administrators' noticeboard]]===
===[[Battlestar Wiki:Podcast Transcripts|Podcast Transcripts]]===
I've got this added to my watchlist. We'll see whether or not the idea catches on.
I've done a few podcast transcripts. I'd appreciate it if somebody would verify those.
 
===[[Battlestar Wiki:Translation Project|Translation Project]]===
I've been helping out some with the i18n effort. (Yep, there are 18 letters between the "i" and the "n", and that's the way we used to abbreviate it at one of my former jobs.) As we start to get more native/advanced speakers onboard this I'll probably focus more on my usual link-fixing/pattern following habits on the translated pages, leaving the real translation to the people that possess such talents.

I have been known to post to civfanatics.com, glocktalk.com, ar15.com, and bikeforums.net using this same handle.  So if you see a Steelviper there, it's me. I also have a Steelviper account over at wikipedia now, but I've got about 5 edits.

Around here you may see me referred to as "Steel" or "SV". That's probably me too.

Origin of Nickname

"A truly fearsome beast, the great viper of Arcadia possesses strength and tenacity unmatched by any other predator on that world. It coils around its prey in a crushing embrace, then finishes its kill with a deadly poison. The warriors of the Clan I name Steel Viper show remarkable tenacity in battle and in their service to our great mission. May they continue to serve with unshakable faith, and may their opponents learn to fear the fangs of the Steel Vipers."
