Purpose?
What's the goal of the Community Portal page, eventually? What kind of things should go here? If I had any idea of how to help, I'd feel better about changing it to, well, something at all. --Day 00:49, 30 August 2005 (EDT)
- My thought was to have a list of links and references to other BSG resources and bulletin boards. -- Joe Beaudoin 09:48, 30 August 2005 (EDT)
- Ah. So not so much a portal to the community of this site, but a portal to the greater BSG community on the web. I see. --Day 11:47, 30 August 2005 (EDT)
- Or it can function as both our internal community as well as the "greater" community. :-) -- Joe Beaudoin 14:58, 30 August 2005 (EDT)
One purpose I suggest would deal with "action alerts." For example, the "Battlestar Pegasus" entry on Wikipedia has been proposed for deletion. Would it be appropriate to alert readers that they can go [here] to register their votes? Jtmichcock 07:20, 25 October 2005 (EDT)
Village Pump?
I didn't know where else to post this, so i'll do it here.
Can we get a page like the wikipedia village pump? The village pump is simply an area where wikipedians (sorry, wiki-editors) can come to talk to each other about the wiki. It's where ideas can be presented and discussed, and questions can be asked. It's sort of a gathering point, from which groups can break off into dedicated projects, and etc.
I would like that just because i have a few questions and suggestions that i'd like to include interested people in, but i don't know where to talk about it. I checked the community portal, but it hasn't been made. I'd volunteer to create an initial page if i had a 'village pump' to link to. :P
As a final note, it can be called anything. "Village pump" en.wikipedia, "Beer parlour" en.wiktionary, "Le Bistro" fr.wikipedia. Probably for this site some clever name of a place that people meet on galactica... "flight deck" or... well i dunno, someone suggest a good idea!

- I vote for the Combat Information Center or something like that. Or Cloud 9. Something like that. I assume it'd use the Battlestar Wiki namespace or something, so as not to conflict with actual pages. --Day 15:28, 2 October 2005 (EDT)
- I vote Cloud 9. CIC sounds too official and serious. -- Danaucpe 17:37, October 2, 2005 (EDT)
- I'm not a Wikipedia editor, so I don't know what the Villiage Punp is normally used for, but I suggested the CIC because it's kind of the nerve center of Galactica. If it's the kind of place that would spin off Project Pages, then maybe it should be a bit serious. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, though. If its more casual and less planning, then I think Cloud 9 would be a great name. Just... thought I'd be more clear. --Day 19:18, 2 October 2005 (EDT)
- I don't really care what it is called but it sounds like a good ideaa --Blacklight
- Does anyone recall the name of the room where the pilots play cards? That's not the mess is it? Whatever it is, that would seem to be an appropriate name. --Watcher 20:58, 2 October 2005 (EDT)

- The village pump is for all kinds of questions/suggestions/talk. Its general-purpose, and no, not very formal. If a discussion starts on the village pump that becomes more formal, the discussion is moved (maybe to a project page or something). The reason i want something like this is so i can make suggestions. :P – Fudoreaper 22:51, 5 October 2005 (EDT)
- Check out the Battlestar Wiki:Wikipedian Quorum... -- Joe Beaudoin 23:17, 2 October 2005 (EDT)
- Aw, shucks. You've just thought of everything haven't ya, Joe? Wikipedian Quorum's a great name (full of authority and such) but how about allowing a vote (I know, I know) so that all involved feel a greater sense of ownership? --Watcher 01:27, 3 October 2005 (EDT)
