Hello and welcome. Please familiarize yourself with our Standards and Conventions here on BSGWiki. Firstly, see "[[Humano-Cylon]]"; there is no definative name for these Cylon models, (it's actually under debate whether we should keep using Humano-Cylon, as Cylon agent, Humanoid Cylon, etc. are also common). However, as you can see in the notes at the end of thier article, "Bio-Cylon" is considered a pejorative term applied to the Re-Imagined Series by Original Series detractors of it. Next, when you cite information, do not use "(episode: "Scar"). Rather, to set it up do this: At the end of what you've written, write: ("[Scar]"). ( Notice that I just added in one bracket there so you could see it, but normally use double brackets to make a link). Periods go after the Parentheses. An example would be as follows: --> Scar is a Cylon Raider ("[[Scar]]"). -->that would do nicely. --[[User:Ricimer|Ricimer]] 01:28, 7 February 2006 (EST) | Hello and welcome.

I would like to apologize for Ricimer's brusque greeting, and give you a proper welcome to the Battlestar Wiki. I hope you won't let some of our harsher contributors scare you off - learning the ins and outs of a place like this is often a matter of trial and error. Don't be afraid of messing up; we'll be watching out for you. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a note on my [[User talk:Peter Farago|talk page]]. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 02:35, 7 February 2006 (EST) | I would like to apologize for Ricimer's brusque greeting, and give you a proper welcome to the Battlestar Wiki.

: Also, except in the cases of "[[Scar]]" and "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]", you don't need quotes around episode names for parenthetical references. I'm sure you're literate (as you're using the web *wink*) and can read the [[Battlestar Wiki:Standards and Conventions|S&C]] for yourself. I just thought I'd clarify Ricimer's, uh, guidance. Anyway, welcome welcome. Also feel free to post questions to my talk page, or to the [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard|Admin's Noticeboard]]. --[[User:Day|Day]] 02:48, 7 February 2006 (EST) | |||
