The Original Series Article Development Project is a long-winded title for a fairly large project to develop articles relating to the original Battlestar Galactica.
Reasoning
Currently, much of our attention is directed at providing information to the current Battlestar Galactica series. While the articles relating to that series are very well developed, the area of the original series remains lacking in comparison. This was noted by Spencerian on the Wiki's general talk page, which said, in part:
- ... BSG Wiki has one Achille's Heel; the comparative lack of information on the Original Series pages as opposed to the Re-imagined Series is almost shameful ...
Therefore the drive into creating content for the original series should be a concern. Obviously, this is a voluntary effort, but any fans of the original series who wish to contribute are welcome to focus their efforts in creating articles related to the original Battlestar Galactica. (It also gives us something to do while awaiting the October airing of Season 3.)
Toolbox
- Battlestar Wiki:Standards and Conventions -- all of our formatting questions are answered or addressed here
- Battlestar Wiki:Citation Jihad -- our answer to what sources should be used in the creation of articles
To-Do List
Article Creation and Enhancement
Of course, please feel free to list pages that need to be worked on below.
- Episode Guides (Epsiode Summaries) - (Once we have the episode guides done, they'll serve as better sources for the Character bios)
- Actors
- Characters
- Muffit - more bio stuff (its used repeatedly as a plot gimmick. see Saga, Magnificent, Gun (end of part 1), etc.)
- Boomer (TOS) - new character pic, two inline bio pics
- Baltar (TOS) - one more unique inline bio pic (to replace the bottom one)
- Jolly (TOS) - new character pic (less dark). Maybe from Man with Nine Lives.
Images
Many of the pages relating to the original series require images, particularly episode guides.
The following list contains ALL articles in the TOS category that are not figures of speech, units of measure, resources, etc, that lack pictures.
Ships
Aedina - may be Mentioned-Only, but need to confirm this- The ship was mentioned by Tigh in Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I and was never seen on screen.
- Astradon - may be Mentioned-Only, but need to confirm this
Groups
- The Alliance - need a picture of Seetol reporting to the Centurion, demonstrating the Ovion conspiracy
- Barge Lice - a picture of a group of prisoners on the prison barge
- Grid Rats - can use same picture as Barge Lice
- Blue Squadron - a pic, or maybe a delete (not much there)?
- Red Squadron - see blue squadron
Places
- Chancery - Maybe the one on the Rising Star
- Eden - picture of the ruins
- Magnetic void - Lost Planet of the Gods
- Rejuvenation center - Fire in Space?
- Serenity - a picture of the town
- Straits of Madagon - from saga of a star world
- The Twelve Colonies (TOS) - picture of Caprica
People
- Chief Opposer - Solon presenting his case in front of the tribunal (Murder on the Rising Star).
- Colonial Warrior - ???
- Ninth Lord of Kobol - a picture of the mummy as Baltar robs his tomb?
Misc Items
- Ambrosa - need a picture of it, preferably in a glass.
- Boroton - fire in space?
- Energizer - if it is shown during Magnificent Warriors
- Grog - Saga of a Star world, perhaps ("hope it's the grog talking")
- Inter-Fleet Broadcasting - a capture of one of the interview shots
- Military Ranks (TOS) - could use some color
- Season 1 (1978-79) - some image for the upper right
- Star of Kobol - from Take the Celestra's presentation to Kronus?
