Hey, there. Could you make an icon for the silly pages? I'd imagine a tag with a picture of Ed Olmos with a large, red clown nose would do it, and I'll leave it to you. Thanks! --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 17:09, 23 May 2006 (CDT)
::Totally understand. Catching up both the wiki and forum. I said the forum be good too! :P I think I can find the post some where here... [[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|talk]]) 14:40, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

::You. Are. A. God. Very cool, thanks! --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 12:36, 25 May 2006 (CDT)
 
Got another icon to whip up. Can you make one relevant to the comic for a future tag, or reference one we can use. I'm thinking we should make one to flag any alternate or separate continuity articles, so it probably should be generic. (Maybe an TOS Adama or any other character with a black goatee, going with the Star Trek "mirrorverse" thing.) I'm going to check with Shane (master of tags) to whip up a tag template concept and we can use it and see if it passes overall muster. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 14:39, 5 June 2006 (CDT)
 
==Images==
Mercifull, you mentioned that you own the PAL DVDs of the first season. If you have the time, it would be great if you could go through [[:Category:Images with no tag]] and upload some higher quality versions. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 14:01, 23 April 2006 (CDT)
:Sure, i'll see what time I have this week and weekend --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] 04:08, 24 April 2006 (CDT)
 
== Mercifull in BSG ==
That head pose in your user pic is pretty unusual (compared to what people take screenshots of), and I'll keep on the lookout for a "perfect" screenshot match, but in the meantime I whipped up [http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j81/steel_viper/BSG/mercifull.jpg this]. (Kind of a dark scene, lighting-wise, but the best match of head/neck I've found so far). --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 14:29, 2 June 2006 (CDT)
:ROFL I look a bit too happy to be at a death ceremony type thing. I'll try and find a better combination of pics of me/bsg pics at the weekend. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] 15:33, 2 June 2006 (CDT)
::Not EVERYBODY liked Cain, apparently... --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 15:39, 2 June 2006 (CDT)

== Wheaties ==
 
As I recall, and I don't recall what episode, might have been [[Sacrifice]], Roslin says after seeing an aggressive Keikeya, "Looks like someone ate their Wheaties today." I could be wrong, I suppose, but damnit, what are the odds that Wheaties exist in a far corner of the universe? This is significant.... Huh? 09:23, 29 June 2006 (CDT)

== You Are Receiving A Wireless Broadcast ==
 
Hello, you are being contacted by The Homeworld.  I just wanted to say thanks for the hints you dropped me on my talk page and just wanted to let you know that you're welcome there anytime.  Since you are from England, I will attempt to greet you in the Queen's Enlgish.
 
Top of the morning to you, and I do say it is an honour working with you on this wiki dedicated to Battlestare Galactica, the most positively smashing sci-fi show and amazing theatre experience.  Have a jolly good day now, and it is simply capital to make your acquaintance.  Cheerio!
 
There, I think I overdid it and I apologize for that.  By the way, I'm addicted to Red Bull too!  It's not illegal in the USA yet and, dammit, it is GOOD!  I didn't know it could kill me...That only makes me want to drink it some more!  I must go replenish my stock.  Homeworld out. --[[User:Homeworld616|Homeworld616]] 10:32, 20 July 2006 (CDT)

== Additions to Michelle Forbes ==
 
I'm really sorry about that copyright mix-up. I thought that since this is also a wiki that I could use the material about Michelle Forbes from Wikipedia here. I will take down the article and re-write it. Please contact me at my user talk. --Commander Me. (I don't know how to make a direct link, so you might have to find me the hard way.) {{unsigned|Commander Me}}
:No problem, copyright issues can be quite complicated. If you are in doubt if something can be used or not add it to the talk page and ask for comments. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 02:55, 27 July 2006 (CDT)
