Welcome to Battlestar Wiki!

Welcome to the Wiki, Bitter one13. 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 (~~~~)!

We look forward to your contributions to the community! --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 18:18, 22 March 2006 (CST)

Cavil

Err... you seem to have replaced the Caprica Copy section of the Cavil article with exactly the same text as appears in in the Fleet copy. What's your reasoning?

I'm sorry, but half the article wasn't there for some reason. I figured if I just reposted it, someone would come along and see what I was trying to do. I was merely trying to imply that the cylons may have taken human models for their cylons, and copied the human conciousness into the cylon version.

That's O.K. :-) For future reference, you could have just noted the problem at the Wikipedian Quorum. Also, as RDM explicitly stated, the Cylons created the Human-form Cylons from scratch based on their perceptions of humanity. (Basically, the Cylons said "There are only twelve of you [humans]"; there were never any human versions of the Cylon agents.) I believe that this is also pointed out at the article on Cylon agents. -- Joe Beaudoin 17:30, 23 March 2006 (CST)
