| Welcome aboard, CalculatinAvatar. I've enjoyed your edits so far. Keep it up. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 02:54, 28 December 2005 (EST)

| | Dear CalulatinAvatar Im the creator and head Administrator of [http://galacticafanon.wikia.com/wiki/Battlestar_Galactica_Fanon_Wiki Battlestar Galactica Fanon Wiki] A new fan fiction based wiki on Wikia and I was hoping that either yourself or someelse on this wiki would care to join. In this new wiki you can create you own new characters, ships or stories all set in the Galactica universe. The main reason I had created this wiki was that I knew that many Galactica fans found the series finale to be somewhat disappointing and somewhat annoying (Ive read both the forums here and on SCI FI.com) and while many fans wanted to write their own version of Daybreak had little venues to do so. Also Im hoping for 2 other things 1. to create a Quorum of 12, a team of 12 Admins. to act as Galactica Fanons main staff and 2. that either yourself or someone else on this wiki would want Galactica Fanon to be a Sister site to this wiki. I hope you call back on this soon with you response. Thanks. -- From [[User talk:StarbuckPegasus12|StarbuckPegasus12]] 4:43 PM. (PST) 05 May 2009 |

| Don't be so hard on yourself. I think I was struggling to understand Photoshop (back when it didn't have a number behind it) when I was your age... I also had to walk uphill in a snowstorm in my bare feet just to ... --[[User:Watcher|Watcher]] 06:27, 30 December 2005 (EST)

| == We Have a New "Peter Farago"! :) ==
| |
| | |
| With Peter's recent promotion to administrator, I was hoping someone would come along and nail me when my edits get sloppy and inconcise. Welcome to the team, and never apologize for being picky here. :) --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 11:47, 30 December 2005 (EST)
| |
| | |
| :Slow down a bit, cowboy! The major modifications that Peter is doing for the revised Cylon pages can get really confusing if we dive in to edit them while he's moving, so steer clear of them until the framework is up. Else, Peter may have to revert your edits in order to get the pages started. Don't want to have you do things twice. Thanks! --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 14:49, 30 December 2005 (EST)

| :: You're implying that, because Peter is an Admin now, that he'll stop re-editing your edits? I don't imagine that the paper work is ''that'' bad. *wink* --[[User:Day|Day]] 20:36, 31 December 2005 (EST)
| |

| :::You're right. In fact, it will probably be worse. The Concision Fairy is now a Concision Deity. :) --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 10:59, 1 January 2006 (EST)

| == ROSE BOWL ==
| |
| | |
| ''BWAHAHAHAHAHA!'' I hope you watched the game, man. Oh wow. I'm so jazzed I'll never go to sleep again, ever. Did you catch the statement Matt Leinart made after the game? I thought it was in bad taste, personally. Mack did the right thing, I think, in making appriciating USC's team the first order of business in his trophey speech. --[[User:Day|Day]] 01:18, 5 January 2006 (EST)
| |
| :I watched the game, but I turned it off after the game itself was over. I'm sure I'll catch Leinart's comment later on tonight in an article or the like, but you might not get to read about the "You're wasting my time!" a USC fan said to that Texas defensive back leaving the field with a broken arm. --[[User:CalculatinAvatar|CalculatinAvatar]] 01:26, 5 January 2006 (EST)
| |
| | |
| :: *jawdrop* Wasting his time? Jeez! That's... so classless. Anyway, Leinart said (a close paraphrase, here), "I still think we're the better team." I mean--I'll leave it open to possibility that, if we were to do best of three or five or something that USC might beat us more than we would beat them, but--honestly... How, based on that one meeting, can you say something so conclusive? ''Anyway'', nice edit with the parenthasis removal over on the Galactica running tallies. --[[User:Day|Day]] 01:52, 5 January 2006 (EST)

| == Challenge ==
| |
| | |
| I challenge someone to make a page at [[Template:List_of_templates]] that consists only of a redirect to http://battlestarwiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Allpages&namespace=10 so that [[Help:Template]] can have its section 'List of Current Templates' replaced with an instance of that template. You could also find some other way to include the content of the specified page inline in [[Help:Template]]. --[[User:CalculatinAvatar|CalculatinAvatar]] 01:55, 6 January 2006 (EST)

| :Take it up with the mediawiki people. This is an explicitly acknowleged limitation of lists vs. categories. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 02:06, 6 January 2006 (EST)
| |
| | |
| ::So it's just impossible, then? That makes me feel better at failing to do it, I suppose. I thought the difficulty was in getting it to take the "namespace=10" argument while still being an internal link. I was sort of hoping there was some force-redirect (even to apparently "external" links) or cute way of getting a <nowiki>[[foo]]</nowiki>-style link with an argument delivered. --[[User:CalculatinAvatar|CalculatinAvatar]] 02:43, 6 January 2006 (EST)

| == TOS Grammar Patrol ==
| |
| The grammar/spellchecking of the ENTIRE TOS category is '''awesome'''. Although not explicitly listed as goal of [[Battlestar Wiki:Original Series Article Development Project|OSAD]], it is something I've always hoped might get done. I really appreciate you and [[User:Grafix|Grafix]] checking those over. Now that most of the TOS articles have images and some content, this is the type of fine-tuning that they need. Thanks! --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 15:13, 4 April 2006 (CDT)

| CalculatinAvatar, I have [[Battlestar Wiki:Requests for adminship/CalculatinAvatar| nominated you for adminship]]. Please indicate whether you accept by following the instructions located [[Battlestar Wiki:Requests for adminship/nominate#What to do if you are nominated by someone else:|here]]. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 21:29, 30 April 2006 (CDT)

| Congrats, on behalf of the community, I have promoted you to administrator status!

| :Congrats, CA! You are now the junior admin, so (much to [[User:Day|Day's]] happiness, I'm sure), you are also the new '''Mop Boy'''! (Ah, I love the scent of Pine Sol in the mornin'.) We expect clean floors in the administrator's break room (Peter sometimes spills his tea, and Steelviper leaves cookie crumbs all over). Don't mind Joe when you see him in his bathrobe in the morning--Lords know we all try to ignore it, too. You'll notice a couple of new features on your interface. Don't be like Steelviper and get so zealous that you block yourself out of the wiki! :) The rollback feature does not allow you to leave a comment, so be sure to update the talk of both page and user (my recommendation) should you use it. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 09:56, 10 May 2006 (CDT)
| |
| | |
| ::Congrats! And yeah... should you ever block yourself indefinitely, it is possible to unblock yourself. When you get as many blocks under your belt as I have (I don't know if Spence's duplicate blocks of people that I already infinite banned should count towards his totals), mistakes are bound to happen:
| |
| ::* 14:48, 10 March 2006 Steelviper blocked "Steelviper (contribs)" with an expiry time of infinite (Blatant search engine spamming - repeat offender)
| |
| ::* 14:54, 10 March 2006 Steelviper blocked "Dharkbayne (contribs)" with an expiry time of infinite (Blatant search engine spamming - repeat offender)
| |
| ::* 14:55, 10 March 2006 Steelviper unblocked Steelviper (contribs) (I think he learned his lesson. (Don't block yourself, idiot.))
| |
| ::(Note that you can still block people while you're blocked. You just can't edit.) Anyway. Keep up the good work, and don't clean up to cookie crumbs too quickly. (Five second rule in '''full''' effect.) --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 10:31, 10 May 2006 (CDT)
| |
| | |
| :::I'm completely confident I'm going to block myself (at least once), then come back here after failing to remember that; thanks in advance for the helping hand in a time of need. --[[User:CalculatinAvatar|CalculatinAvatar]] 21:29, 10 May 2006 (CDT)

| == Hiatus ==
| |
| | |
| I have been absent of late due to an ethernet line at my house becoming faulty, likely in a splice somewhere in the middle of a 300' underground run. I'm currently in Pasadena for work; oddly enough, being ~1800 miles from home has enhanced my internet connection. I intend to return to my normal frequency of edits after a little while catching up on current events here. I apologize for the neglect. --[[User:CalculatinAvatar|CalculatinAvatar]]<sup>([[Special:Contributions/CalculatinAvatar|C]]-[[User talk:CalculatinAvatar|T]])</sup> 19:47, 18 June 2006 (CDT)

| Hey, man. In case you hadn't seen it, we're seeking Admin consensus on a solution to [[Battlestar Wiki:Requests for comment/Shane|this RFC]]. There's no rush, as voting doesn't end until July 3rd and we don't seem exactly split on the idea, but I thought I'd point it out anyway, just, as I've said above, in case. Cheers! --[[User:Day|Day]] <sup>([[User talk:Day|Talk]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard|Admin]])</sup> 23:24, 26 June 2006 (CDT)

| | |
| :I saw it, and, to be perfectly honest, I was sort of camping on the issue. (I had missed Shane's mention of a period without a computer for other reasons, which would have prompted more haste on my part.) To be honest, regarding the RFC and both of the recent RFA's, I felt some deliberation would assist in reaching an objective decision. I could vote neutral, but it isn't quite accurate for "undecided" and would need to be changed later, anyway. --[[User:CalculatinAvatar|CalculatinAvatar]]<sup>([[Special:Contributions/CalculatinAvatar|C]]-[[User talk:CalculatinAvatar|T]])</sup> 00:35, 28 June 2006 (CDT)
