| :Hi, Larry. A number of folks that work on the [[Battlestar Wiki:Original Series Article Development Project]] have the DVD collection and have contributed many screenshots. I would direct your request on [[The Super Scouts]] article to request this picture.

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?

| | == Improperly Archived Talk Pages == |
| | | I'm seeing a lot of archived pages in the Talk namespace with "/Archive 1" appended to their names, where the corresponding unprefixed Talk page does not exist. It looks like someone mass-archived talk pages and neglected to create new talk pages or an archive index. I suggest that we move these pages back to their unprefixed titles, with a bot or mass edit tool if possible. --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] ([[User talk:April Arcus|talk]]) 19:59, 12 April 2020 (PDT) |

| :According to RDM's podcast for [[Sacrifice]], the decision to off him was done to let Campbell take advantage of the leading roles he had been offered in other series. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] 17:25, 8 March 2006 (CST)

| |
| | |
| I don't have access to their IP addresses, but it appears from the IP block log that they are trying to repeat offend. Just wanted to let you guys know so you can be on the lookout. These persons (if there are, in fact, multiple), have been amply warned and the "leniency window" is quickly slamming shut. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 12:26, 9 March 2006 (CST)

| |
| | |
| ::The idea is that they chose short articles on the assumption they have low traffic, I believe; they probably aim for stubs linked by 2-3 well-linked pages, as a trade-off for higher Google returns vs. visibility to wiki-users.
| |
| ::By the way, is there a way to run a script to pass/fail edits? If so, simple blocking of any edit that adds over, say, 10 URI's to a page would fix the problem until the attacking bots got updated. ...I hesitate to suggest a long-term solution of requiring membership in a group (to which users with 2-3 valid edits are routinely added) to add external links at all.
| |
| ::On the other hand, a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha Captcha] for all edits seems more feasible; captchas for non-members of a group would allow for maintenance bots and not annoying high-edit-count humans, too.

| |
| :::Captchas are a good idea but unfortunatly easily broken, its best to use a very strong captcha in conjunction with other forms of spam control. On my forum for example i have a hidden field on the forms that means a registration is only made when a person psysically loads the page to sign up. Spammers generall use automated programs to just call the scripts and dont actually load the site. Perhaps a similar idea to this would work? [[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] 03:53, 28 March 2006 (CST)

I don't know that much about how this works, but how could this guy possibly benefit from this? Is there something like, the more sites that carry these links the more popular they seem because the number of sites linking to them can be detected? I don't know. Or is this just a vandal having fun spreading cruft? Because if he is...I cannot understand what the heck his agenda is. If he's showing off his "skillz" anyone could do what he's doing, we fix it almost immediately anyway, and I don't see any clear message. To be honest it seems more like an automated thing someone set up, but if so, why not some relevant message or ANYTHING? In short, unless this guy publicly says WHY the heck he's doing this, he's a coward. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 09:56, 1 May 2006 (CDT)

| :No, there's definitely financial motive at work here. Vandals that do it for fun are at least a bit more "creative" in their modifications. The best I can guess is that he/she/it is adding the links in order to raise the pageranks of those links in search engines (like you said above). The more sites that link to you the more "relevent" your site is. Google and the other search engines try to ignore the spam, but it must work to some extent because the spammers are at the gates. While I'll grant that the "numeric vandal" is more "delicate" than other spammers of that kind (the particular code inserted leaves no visible footprint, as opposed to some that create a massive "blank" area at the bottom of the article that you have to scroll through), but vandalism is vandalism. It's disheartening how persistent this numeric one has been, creating a couple of accounts every few days. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 10:12, 1 May 2006 (CDT)

| After yet again another edit to the Galactica type battlestar article today without a response to us that I can locate and after numerous attempts from us to ask his source, I have blocked this user for 3 days (I would have done it for 48 hours per Joe but I wasn't sure of how to do this in the special page) per the vandalism rules, with a response to him on his [[User talk:Jon Doe|user page]]. Hopefully we'll hear something from this contributor in a few days. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 17:32, 4 June 2006 (CDT)

| :You might try the "other time" selection, and specify "48 hours" (though I've never done that myself). Feel free to block me for 48 hours if you'd like to practice it. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 17:49, 4 June 2006 (CDT)

| :Specify other, then enter in "48 hours" (sans quotes). The software is smart enough to know what you're talking about. :-) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 19:44, 4 June 2006 (CDT)

| ::Thanks. Although my career involves computers, I don't trust "fuzzy logic" sometimes. :) Block time has been reset to 48 hours. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 20:04, 4 June 2006 (CDT) | |

| He looks less like a generic troll and more like someone who adamantly belives in fanfic. I have no tolerance for his changes, but I wouldn't permanently ban him just yet; warning bans were good; either straighten him out her escalate. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 21:05, 4 June 2006 (CDT)

| : I concur, Merv (except, maybe, with the final phrase, which I cannot decipher. You mean "...''or'' escalate"?). This seems less maliscious and more... seriously misguided, I guess. Handled well so far, from what I can tell. --[[User:Day|Day]] <sup>([[User talk:Day|Talk]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard|Admin]])</sup> 23:45, 4 June 2006 (CDT)

| |
| Me and Shane have been working on a template with aim to replace the individual wikitables on the battle pages Merv created. I was hoping I would get some feedback from you on the appearance etc.
| |
| The testing area is [[User:Mercifull/Battle template|here]] and you can see the actual template at {{tl|Battle Data}} --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] 13:49, 21 June 2006 (CDT)

| I have inadvertently save over another's edit 2 0r 3 times (RFA for Merciful) in the last 2 days . I thought that the wiki prevented that automatically. Is it because I talking so longer to edit sometimes? Or is there a problem. Just don't want to keeping doing it. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 14:03, 23 June 2006 (CDT)

| :I think this happens when two people are editing the same page, always preview your work before posting to make sure you havnt made a major fubar. I recently did it on the ships page cutting off half the page lol and if i had previwed i wouldnt have messed it up hehe. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] 14:05, 23 June 2006 (CDT)

| ::Thanks, I usually preview, but will make sure that I do in the future.--[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 14:08, 23 June 2006 (CDT)

| :::Steel re-added the vote, so no problem there. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 14:13, 23 June 2006 (CDT)
