User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr./Archive

Hi. I hear you're the guy running this Wiki. I wondered if it would be possible to have the Format broken links preference (misc. settings) default to unset? I keep running into broken links because of silly typo's (Carpica instead of Caprica for example) and with this preference off it becomes a lot easier to spot these. Oh, and thanks for setting all this up btw.

No Problem!

Hi there,

No problem in changing the config. It does help out!

Thanks for contributing, as well as your kind comments regarding the wiki!

Feel free to shoot any suggestions my way any time.

Pictures

Hello Joe,

You state that everything on your wiki is GNU FDL which means that somebody can copy the pictures as long as they attribute it to your site, Being an old hand in picturediscussions at nl:wikipedia I do not dare to import your pictures, although I would love some for the BG articles I am doing in Dutch. Can you please elaborate on the issue a bit for me (praying to the lords of kobol I can use some) Waerth 14:52, 3 Feb 2005 (EST)

Regarding Licensing (Images, et al)

Actually, having reviewed the GFDL license, I've decided to go towards the Creative Commons License.

I made this decision after taking a look at the Memory Alpha website and the license they used (which is CCL). I also thoroughly read the GFDL, which didn't state anything about images or fair use under American law.

I'll write a more detailed explanation later on. Maybe Saturday... but anyway, here's my official position on the images:

Images are fair use. That means episode caps, images, and soundbites, can be used, as so long as

• credit is given to the original source;
• no one makes financial profit from the images use;
• and are not used heavily (we try to use 2 to 3 images max on any one entry, for example).

In essence, fair use is applied when the image is copyrighted and is for educational use.

Centurion vs. Centurian

Hi, Joe. Have you had a chance yet to check the spelling on the DVDs? (As I own the TOS DVDs, I'll take a look into them to see what the spelling is. From what I remember, it is usually "centurion" as in the centurions from Rome. -- Joe Beaudoin 22:34, 26 Apr 2005) -- User:RexCutter (talk) 19 May 2005

Not yet. That kind of went on the backburner for various issues came up. I'll try to get to it later on today... -- Joe Beaudoin 06:43, 20 May 2005 (EDT)

Template:IPA

This is not my specialty, but do you think you could bring over Template:IPA from Wikipedia for pronunciations? --Peter Farago 15:45, 5 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Sure thing. The template is now online. -- Joe Beaudoin 20:22, 6 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Works great, thanks. --Peter Farago 02:58, 7 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Thanks

Hey Joe, this is User:Zarek Rocks, I just wanted to thank you for setting this BSG wiki thing up. It looks like it was a lot of work on your part and I wanted to let you know I really appreciate it. I'm still trying to figure out all of the intricacies but am starting to get the hang of it, I think. Thanks again.

Acc. Deletion

Thank you for leaving me message in my talk.

I have a little problem... I have created second acc. what I want keep up, but when I was trying skins, I have selected the language skin and it doesn't work - there's some unexpected $ in .php file... It makes my second user unusable, but i want use it :P Current status is that, I have theese two profiles here: (it's their usernames)

- Pavel Ptáček

- Lordhp

I would like to keep up the Lordhp account, and delete "Pavel Ptáček" account, but there is that problem with template called Language (what Lordhp acc have selected). It makes me to use this acc. for a while. Please tell me what to do, maybe the easiest way will be deletion of both accs, I will create Lordhp acc then once again. There's nothing what could be lost.

Thank you very much, and sorry for my English. I am not natural english-speaking human. --Pavel Ptáček 15:13, 17 Aug 2005 (EDT)
