Could you say wher this info has come from? --Grafix 17:16, 12 April 2006 (CDT)

Tigh's Eyes

The quote: Tigh closes his eye, trying not to slide into hopelessness…" really doesn't infer that Colonel Tigh's eys (I like the way that sounds) are injured, it simply sounds more expressing the feeling by closing his eyes. I have no idea how anybody gets that his eyes are injuried by this and so the reference on the article page would be better off moved to the discussion page. -- StrayCat0 20:51, 13 Apr 2006 (PST)

Look, I know that and I agree with you, but if people are rumor-mongering based on this comment, I think the least we can do is tell them where the notion came from. You'll see that I reworded the comment somewhat when I restored it - I hope it's absolutely clear that this is purely conjectural. --Peter Farago 22:52, 13 April 2006 (CDT)

I think the reason for the assumption is that it says "Tigh closes his eye," as in singular. It could just be a typo in the original source though. --Talos 22:56, 13 April 2006 (CDT)

"Yes, it does, but this is now a widespread rumor, and as a reference source, we have an obligation to address its source factually.)" Peter, you didn't provide a source when you added the info back. I realize we might as well mention something, if GalacticaStation and Gateworld are, because even if they are wrong it's out of our hands, but you realize that with the whole "it's a widespread rumor" justification....if *we* report it, we *make* it a widespread rumor. People see it here, and think this adds even more weight behind the rumor. We need to tag these things with a sentence along the lines of "no reliably sourced basis for these spoiler's accuracy", etc. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 00:38, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

Do you mean the source for the rumor outside of the wiki? I asked Kahran to provide this on Talk:Precipice, but he hasn't done so. It's been brought up several times on TWOP: [1], [2], [3], [4]. I'm sure you've seen this elsewhere as well. --Peter Farago 01:13, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

Yes, so we need something in clear bold font that says "This has been reported but we have no idea if it is true". --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 01:47, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

I think the current phrasing makes that pretty clear. --Peter Farago 09:28, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

It wasn't clear at all. I added a little warning for clarification. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 18:42, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

I think we were talking about different things. Your clarification was appropriate. --Peter Farago 18:45, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

Thanks, I wasn't trying to ruffle any feathers. I mean, as you saw, I was trying to figure out how to handle this...rumor days before Gateworld even reported it! Haha --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 19:05, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

I am your god! unconfirmed production draft for "Occupation" http://www.nowcasting.com/sides/Episodic/BATTLESTAR%20GALACTICA/301%20Occupation/Selloi_Dedona_4pgs.pdf - Lordmutt 15th April 2006

Exactly; this was online some days before Gateworld heard of it: how do we know it's real? How do we have any idea who started it? Moreover, how do we have any idea that the script has not been radically changed this then? --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 20:00, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

Um, we already had that linked... --Peter Farago 20:21, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

Yes. False prophet!--The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 20:29, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

I am your god! ....still... honestly didn't realise that, oh well- lordmutt

Spoilers/speculation

I'm not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere and I applogise if it has but why are we putting speculation on forthcoming episodes on this page, and subsequent S3 pages? Why don't we have a separate section for speculation and leave these pages for the FACTS. --Grafix 03:18, 18 April 2006 (CDT)
