Battlestar Wiki:Think Tank/Character Bio Project/To Do

Maybe this deserves an own overall page, but since it ties into this idea, it could be done as sub page. The idea is having a central page on which to comment on character articles and coordinate their improvement, similar to the TOS article project.

Lee Adama

Comments

• I feel that this is a template of what character articles should be. Some of the paragraphs are long, but they actually show who he is. -- Serenity 10:27, 19 February 2008 (CST)

William Adama

Comments

• This is also pretty good overall. I already changed the last section to be more character focused than usual. Note that the "Background" section has a brief summary of his character traits. That would be something to for the others as well, possibly even as its own section. -- Serenity 10:27, 19 February 2008 (CST)

Laura Roslin

Comments

• Has already been improved a bit, but there is more to do.

To Do

• Her relationships to Billy Keikeya and Lee Adama
• Maybe some more on her sort-of-romantic relationship with William Adama. It shouldn't be overemphasized and be made more than it is though.
• Better highlight her resolve and convictions. Being determined to lead the Fleet to Earth, and hold up civilian rule and the law (which then better contrasts with the election fraud). But also her use of realpolitik and seemingly harsh decisions (treatment of Cylons, how she deals with political opponents).

Kara Thrace

Comments

• Can be improved a lot. Needs more focus on character and personality -- Serenity 10:27, 19 February 2008 (CST)

To Do

• A character with such a strong personality would benefit from a personality summary
• Deleting less important events and expanding some others instead.
• Highlighting her relationships to William Adama, Karl Agathon and Lee Adama

Gaius Baltar

Comments

• Uses a somewhat different format that serves to highlight his career in the fleet, but is still rather plot oriented. -- Serenity 10:27, 19 February 2008 (CST)

To Do

• Maybe a character trait summary like with William Adama

Sharon Agathon

Comments

• Pretty good all in all. She mostly interacts with Helo, so there isn't much to elaborate there. Otherwise it focuses on her loyalty to the Colonials and Hera. The former could be highlighted even more as a defining aspect maybe. -- Serenity 10:27, 19 February 2008 (CST)

Caprica-Six

Comments

• This is still very plot focused, but off the top of my head, I don't have any specific ideas for improvement -- Serenity 10:27, 19 February 2008 (CST)

Galen Tyrol

Comments

• Starts good, but then becomes increasingly plot focused. I never really liked this one -- Serenity 10:27, 19 February 2008 (CST)

To Do

• Concision and revision of the later sections to make them more character oriented.

Karl Agathon

Comments

• Not bad, but also a bit plot focused at times. -- Serenity 10:27, 19 February 2008 (CST)

To Do

• More on his idealism, which is probably his central character trait. Also a summary of his personality
• Slight concision/rewriting of some sections

Saul Tigh

Comments

• Not bad, but also rather plot focused -- Serenity 10:27, 19 February 2008 (CST)

To Do

• More on his personality and also his positive traits. He is a competent officer when he isn't drunk.

Felix Gaeta

Comments

• This one actually makes an attempt at character analysis, so there isn't that much to do. -- Serenity 10:27, 19 February 2008 (CST)

To Do

• Some of the later sections could do with some more analysis or explanations for how his actions tie into his personality. For example his actions on New Caprica.
