This noticeboard is a location to discuss and coordinate administrative tasks for the Battlestar Wiki.

It is our hope that this place can serve as a location for administrators to coordinate their efforts on the maintenance tasks of the Wiki (it's not ALL fun and games), as well as a spot for our contributors to be able to bring things to the attention of the admins if something needs to be done. Need a protected page edited? An article or picture deleted? Admins will watchlist this page so that your request won't get lost in the shuffle.

Cubit Related Images

I have tried from 4 different computers at 4 different locations to view the "Related Images" section towards the bottom of the page. Each time a 100 cubit note pops up for about 5 seconds and then it vanishes. After that I am unable to see any of the pics in this section. Why? Is there some special kind of trick I need to use? Please help?

I'll look into this. On the "to-do" list. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 22:53, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Might be the flash thing we tried. Hasn't really been refinsed like Joe said. Shane (talk) 07:17, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Change the site over...

Hey Joe, sorry if im being an annoyance, but I am concerned about the Battlestar Pegasus site:

"Mercer, the site is now up. However, I do have plans to change the website over, since it never really lifted off as well as I'd hoped. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 18:29, 15 September 2009 (UTC) "

I was wondering what you meant by this. I know I am one of the few users who uses it, but I have put alot of time and energy into the articles, ship files, character files, corporation files, and soon some technology files, AND my fanfiction as well. I would hate to see this go, and I am just wondering what your position on this is, and I just want to touch base with you on this.

Thanks,

Mercer

I've yet to finalize my plans / roadmap for the website, however none of the existing content will be adversely affected. So the content is safe, and there will always be a wiki component to it. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 23:38, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I understand now. I thought by "change the website over" you meant take it down or something, but it seems you mean to change aspects of it. If it does so happen that you wish to remove it, PLEASE contact me and let me know at drew.shoemaker@gmail.com

Again, thanks for all of your responses and clarification on this matter...

I might have screwed up

I think I might have screwed up.

I've just posted this new page after I failed to find anything specific to this officer by searching by his call sign: http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/%22Shooter%22

However, after some thought I looked again and but asked for his specific task instead. Then I found this: http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Unnamed_Galactica_and_Pegasus_crew_%28RDM%29#Launch_Officer

What should I do?

thanks Jeff

Don't worry much about it. I changed your article to redirect to the Launch Officer listing in the unnamed crew article. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 02:14, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Ditto. Would have done the same thing. No worries no. :) Shane (talk) 04:04, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Ok, thanks! Jeffrabb

Battlestar Pegasus Site Down...Again

Hello again, I have noticed the Battlestar Pegasus site is down again, I was just wondering why. Any info is appreciated.

Thanks.

--Mercer 22:08, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

can someone please add YR42 to the Numerology page entry for "42"?

since it has been established that "last year" on Caprica was YR41 (timestamp on interview with the bomber kid) and that "this year" is YR42 (masthead on newspaper), can someone please add this to the entry for "42" on the numerology page?

http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Numerology#42

thanks!

here's something i just posted on my FB:

and hey, look what i found for 42! http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Numerology#42 - i knew the reference to Douglas Adams' works (42 is, of course, the meaning of life, the universe, and everything - and it just so happens that 42 in decimal is 101010 in binary - HUH!!! lol!).

Jlwn111

[please note, i have a life-long connection to the number 111 and i just can't help but notice it jumping out at me in the binary representation of "life, the universe, and everything" - LOL!]

Just to let you know, you are more than welcome to make the change yourself. So feel free to be bold in doing so. ;-) -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 03:50, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Season 4.0 limited release

Can someone help me with this?

It's been so long since I bought my dvds, and unfortunately lost track of where I was in the show. I am re watching it now, only to realize I purchased some kind of tin case for season 4.0. I have not been able to find any information about this anywhere on the internet - even on the list of dvd/blu-ray releases on this wiki site. Can someone tell me what I bought? I can upload a pic if need be.

nether_mage@hotmail.com

(sorry if there was a more appropriate place. I didn't know where else to post this.)

Feel free to sign up for the Battlestar Forum and post more on this there. Definitely interested in seeing what you bought. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 14:49, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

I ask again

I think my last question several months ago was overlooked. I would like to know what is to become of the Battlestar Pegasus site. I have put weeks of my time into writing a fan fiction on that website, not including all of the ship files, corporation files and other pages I have created. I hope this site does not have to go for good, but if it does, at least allow me to retrieve my works from it.

Replies are appreciated. Thanks.

--Mercer 13:33, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

I'd need to speak to Shane, who backed up all the files and database for the website when we relocated servers. It's not been a priority to put up the website for us, because of the things that have happened these past few months. (Shane's working on a corporate project, and I'm juggling several endeavors myself—all of which pay our bills.) I apologize for not getting back to you sooner, and I understand that you spent time working on everything... but there have been more pressing matters, such as the upkeep of the Wiki, which takes precedence over BSP, as the Wiki is our flagship site. We'll let you know when things are back up. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 13:57, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I am glad to hear it was backed up and I understand about the upkeep of the normal wiki, I just wanted to hear what was planned and make sure my work was safe at least.

Thanks for the feedback and I wish you luck. :)

Songs, music, so forth [...] from Bear's Blog

Should we upload any of the mp3's listed along Bear McCreary's blog and/or create articles on any of the songs, i.e. "Was Love" in the Caprica episode "Gravedancing"? On a somewhat related (or unrelated) note, I'm surprised there isn't an article listed for the song sung by the Tucana singers from "Saga of a Star World".--DrWho42 21:50, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
