Talk:Standoff Between Galactica and Pegasus/Archive 1

Deletion Discussion

I can see Ricimer's arguement here. It wasn't so much a battle as it was a Mexican Standoff. I say delete. Joemc72 17:03, 19 January 2006 (EST)

I haven't had access to a computer for the last few days, so I wasn't able to update this myself. You see ORIGINALLY, I thought they were going to shoot at each other...by which I mean, after I watched "Pegasus (episode)". I left "Galactica vs Pegasus" as a PLACEHOLDER NAME when I read reports that they were going to fight the Cylon Resurrection Ship without actually shooting at each other first, because I didn't want to add "Spoilers". Had I gotten here earlier would have simply deleted this Placeholder name entirely, and created the Battle of the Resurrection Ship page. I also have a long list on the talk page for "Battle of the Resurrection Ship" which I should really leave up as rules for future battles. Meanwhile, I would like to (in a fit of annoyance for a minute) say that I think it was a poorly planned idea to update the entire wiki with minor edits such as switching all the links to "William Adama", etc RIGHT AFTER a big site update like the last 2 week gap we had. You see, I'm not against this, but against the quantity of it; the "recent changes" button only records the last 500 things that have been changed, and doing several hundred link changes in rapid succession has made it impossible to easily reference changes made; this is important because many people like myself did not know when Battlestar Wiki was going to "reload", and now cannot easily see what has been changed. I don't mean to whine, sorry, but imagine yourself in my position; coming back with updates from an entiire new episode to make, and not having a full record of what has been happening for the past few days. Oh...I'll catch up over the weekend. I get bye. While I'm at it, I think I've going to change my screename soon to "The Merovingian"; it's the screename I use on all other galactica sites (official messageboard, Galactica Actual, Nicki Clyne fan site), and I really should have been using it since day 1 anyway. Be seeing you...--Ricimer17:38, 19 January 2006 (EST)

I do not mind the existence of this page as viewers who see episode 10 (but not 11) are left thinking of imminent battle. I'll let consensus rule here and delete it after about a week if no opposition is made. --Spencerian 18:41, 19 January 2006 (EST)

I'd prefer to keep it. By way of analogy, the Cold War was still a war, even if no shots were fired. --Peter Farago 20:12, 19 January 2006 (EST)
