User talk:Mal Renyolds

Welcome to Battlestar Wiki!

Welcome to the Wiki, Mal_Renyolds. Tell us about yourself on your user page. We have a template that lets you put some information about yourself in a nice-looking box.

Battlestar Wiki is an encyclopedia on officially-licensed stories, aired episodes, and other products of the Battlestar universes. Make sure that your contributions fit Battlestar Wiki's purpose, avoiding what we aren't.

Our editing standards and conventions policies may differ from other wikis, especially in verb tense and voice, capitalization and the like. Please read this policy. We have an editing tutorial and wiki markup codes to help you.

Our policies on original research differ from places such as Wikipedia. We allow some research based on aired episode content, but don't allow speculation that isn't supported from episode events.

Battlestar Wiki's many projects help improve our content. Are you an Original Series fan? Help out in the Original Series Article Project. Non-English versions of Battlestar Wiki also need contributors, and helpers for our podcast transcriptions are also welcome. New projects should be brought to our Think Tank, where we hash out large-scale ideas before implementing them.

Any questions about an article can be entered on the article's talk page. General questions about the wiki can be brought to the Quorum or the administrators' noticeboard. To sign your posts on any talk page, just enter four tildes (~~~~)!

We look forward to your contributions to the community! --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 11:52, 27 June 2007 (CDT)

Your edit to Naturalistic science fiction

Your edit to Naturalistic science fiction didn't really make sense: you added a sentence about building spaceships to a section about silica pathways. Maybe you edited the wrong section? --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 12:00, 27 June 2007 (CDT)

Yeah, that was confusing. Does it refer to the blackbird, or Viper construction? To the alleged lack of radiators on Colonial and Cylon ships in general? If the latter, then I don't think we have enough information on how that is handled. --Serenity 12:08, 27 June 2007 (CDT)

I was refering to the lack of raidators on ships in general. I don't mean to sound rude or obnoxious, but if a spaceship doesn't have a radiator system to get rid of the excess heat, it is going to be in a lot of trouble. Anyways, sorry for any confusion this has caused. --Mal Renyolds

Technically, that's true, but we don't really have information one way or the other on how heat is radiated away or not. And while BSG prides itself somewhat to be different from others, no SciFi series really deals with this. Not that that's an excuse, but aside from speculation based on visuals you can't know.

Btw, you can sign your name with a timestamp by typing four tildes: --~~~~. Or click on the respective quick link thingy below the edit box. The one that says "Sign your name:" --Serenity 12:23, 27 June 2007 (CDT)

Thank you, I just got an account half an hour ago so I'm pretty new here. --Mal Renyolds 12:26, 27 June 2007 (CDT)
