Battlestar Wiki:Think Tank/Errors Policy: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 06:55, 15 September 2006

This is the overview. Basically, a summary of what the idea is about. You can get into the details later on.

DRAFT - not even close to finished, but I welcome discussion Eghm 01:55, 15 September 2006 (CDT)

Errors Policy[edit]

A policy to guide what constitues a Continuity_errors_(RDM), Produciton errors, Retcons, Dangling plot lines, VFX Gaffes and Dialogue Errors in Battlestar Galactica while assuming good faith on the part of the writers, without resorting to fanwanking. This policy would be linked to from the various (small number of) error pages.

User:Eghm is willing to take point on this, but given the nature of suspending disbelief others contributions are welcome. Continuity_errors_(RDM) list some things given various levels of suspending disbelief that not all wiki users agree are errors.

Production errors - things which involve the production of the show such as the reflection of crane raising the raptor in the Miniseries after Helo shots the civilian climbing on the wing of the raptor on Caprica, seeing off set, etc.

Continuity errors - see continuity errors Dees headset changing sides, shells in the container start out scattered within the box, but as the camera cuts back and forth in the scene the shells switch from organized to scattered many times.

Dialog errors - things said which do not belong to the BSG universe (Jesus, world famous, etc.)

Retcons - same as Acknowledged Mistakes.

-The details of your proposal will go here. Be as detailed as you'd like or believe necessary. It is recommended that you find that balance between ''downloading'' information and merely ''telling'' what your idea is.
+=== {{{1|Errors Policy}}} ===
-The proposal should strive to answer some of the common questions, such as:
+A policy to guide what constitues a [[Continuity_errors_%28RDM%29]], Produciton errors, [[Continuity_errors_%28RDM%29#Retcons|Retcons]], [[Continuity_errors_%28RDM%29#Danglers|Dangling plot lines]], [[Continuity_errors_%28RDM%29#VFX_Gaffes|VFX Gaffes]] and [[Continuity_errors_%28RDM%29#Dialogue_Errors|Dialogue Errors]] in Battlestar Galactica while  [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Assume good faith|assuming good faith]] on the part of the writers, without resorting to [[Wikipedia:Fanwank|fanwanking]].  This policy would be linked to from the various (small number of) error pages.
