Any ideas

We could try Lee Adama, since it's one of the best character articles IMO. While it still retells a lot of plot, it does attempt to note his motivations, character traits and growth. And it also focuses on smaller things that are important for him. Other ideas would be some previous nominees likes Virtual beings or Weapons in the Re-imagined Series.

A general comment: A suggestion I've received through the survey is to avoid doing obvious articles as "Featured Articles", and try some unconventional articles that still qualify. Tom Zarek and most of the other articles we've had in the past are, for all intents and purposes, very conventional and safe articles. They're obvious choices... And most people know about them anyway...

I think it would be best to spice up our choices a bit. Try something different. Maybe something like Unnamed characters (1980), Starbuck's Poem, Norman Blore, The Colonial Gang... something that is unconventional. Thoughts? -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 15:25, 7 March 2008 (CST)

True. Maybe it would be better to use the Quality Article "award" a lot more to mark really good articles. Instead of using the best ones for FAs. Starbuck's Poem is nice and not something we would have chosen in the past, because it's so short. -- Serenity 15:42, 7 March 2008 (CST)

So, any ideas? -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 19:27, 12 March 2008 (CDT)

Well, Shane has already slapped the candidate tag on on "Colonial Gang" and as said "Starbuck's Poem" might not be a bad choice for unusualness, though it's very short. Maybe Memorial hallway? It's an integral concept of the show, but doesn't have that many views. -- Serenity 19:52, 12 March 2008 (CDT)

I would like to see the Memorial hallway featured as well. :) -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 20:10, 12 March 2008 (CDT)

Done. So do we now vote on those 3, or just but them up over the next three months? -- Serenity 20:28, 12 March 2008 (CDT)

Let's go for those three. I'm all for the Hallway first. Good one in light of the upcoming month. --Spencerian 18:06, 13 March 2008 (CDT)
