Images

Hey there, fellow graphics person. There are a few pages that deal with requested stuff, such as here http://www.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Battlestar_Wiki:Requested_Images - also have a look at the 'special pages' link on the left hand side. I do mainly HDTV screencaps, but theres bound to be someone needing icons and other graphical stuff needed doing. As for the Season 3 caps - well, whats the resolution and quality like? I wont say for definite if they're needed as yet, seeing as its a montage of the whole season, and no-one knows what cap would go to what episode if you know what i mean :) --Fordsierra4x4 12:45, 31 July 2006 (CDT)

The shortcuts to get to these pages are BW:RI and BW:SI. :-) --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 13:10, 31 July 2006 (CDT)

Well, they could serve temporarily on the Season 3 page (seeing as how anybody viewing that page currently is looking for spoilers anyway). However we'd have to take care to pull them once Season 3 becomes a non-spoiler page... --Steelviper 13:15, 31 July 2006 (CDT)

Would have to create {{spolier image}} tag also. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 13:20, 31 July 2006 (CDT)

That's not a bad idea. Though it's kind of hard to tell, before clicking on an image, that it's a spoiler. And once you've clicked on it, a little banner telling you it's a spoiler will just show above it. It'd be cool if there was a spoiler preference that controlled the display of spoiler related text and images. (Hmmm, perhaps using CSS?) --Steelviper 13:25, 31 July 2006 (CDT)

Not only a tag, but the images be Season3_ImageName.jpg so it be noticeable also. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 13:29, 31 July 2006 (CDT)

I must commend you on the Seal of the Twelve Colonies you uploaded Scothfairy; I've been hoping we could get a copy of that for months now (I mean it's kind of embarrassing that we could never find a good copy before, I mean like the Star Trek wiki has a pic of the Seal of the United Federation of Planets on the Federation article, etc.). THanks. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 11:02, 4 August 2006 (CDT)

Should I upload the artwork I have for Galactica's and Pegasus' seals? They're prettier than the patches (which I also have). This is all stuff I've already released elsewhere, so there's no reason not to use it here.

the ship insignias

the ship patches

Those are the packages as I have them available for download. I'd obviously split them up before uploading them here. And I don't think you need every variation of the Galactica ship patch unless you're going to use them on the individual pages for Officers, Enlisted, Marines, Deck Crew, Pilots, etc. As I noted on the Talk:Uniforms (RDM) page, there appears to only be one version of the Pegasus patch.--Scotchfairy 05:37, 10 August 2006 (CDT)

image quality

(let's see if I understand the formatting commands) I'm uploading a couple examples of the screen caps I have. You folks tell me if they're good enough quality to use here.

• smaller sized Boomer
• larger sized Boomer
• smaller sized Kara
• larger sized Kara

I could possibly increase the jpg quality on the larger sized ones to get better image quality. I haven't checked yet.--Scotchfairy 01:21, 2 August 2006 (CDT)

Pretty good. Just name them Season3_ so people who hate to be spolied don't view them. Upload the larger ones. Tag them is {{screencap}} for now. I will get around or someone to create a image spoler tag and season 3 tag. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 02:08, 2 August 2006 (CDT)

I've started uploading images. I'm about halfway through the stack I have to upload. Probably should come up with those new tags if you haven't already. --Scotchfairy 17:43, 9 August 2006 (CDT)

All the trailer screencaps are uploaded now. Have fun with 'em. --Scotchfairy 01:35, 10 August 2006 (CDT)

I have added them all to a special Season 3 Misfits page so people that dont want to be spoiled dont get caught out. Battlestar Wiki:Island of Misfit Images/Season 3 --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 05:30, 10 August 2006 (CDT)

trailer screencaps

Thanks for the kick-a$$ trailer grabs, Scotchfairy. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 19:29, 9 August 2006 (CDT)
