Battlestar Galactica References

In order to improve them (I'm mostly referring to the References to), I was thinking we could insert the time in which the reference occurs (for instance: I had to wait toward the very end of a Family Guy episode for the BSG reference). It would help out to know where (and when) to watch for the references. Any thoughts? DrWho42 09:51, 11 June 2007 (CDT)

The more info the better, I say. So go for it. :-) -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 09:59, 11 June 2007 (CDT)

Server time

Since yesterday, RC has been reporting incorrect times differing 17 minutes from the actual time. Can this be fixed? --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 07:46, 13 June 2007 (CDT)

I've did a timesync for the server with the atomic clock. It should be reporting the correct time now. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 22:53, 13 June 2007 (CDT)

Was planning on this :) Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 07:23, 14 June 2007 (CDT)

Works for me now. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 09:58, 14 June 2007 (CDT)

Citation for Richard Hatch comments

The corresponding website listed along the Dynamite Dispatches [ http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/entertainment/16408155.htm ] in my Battlestar Galactica: Cylon Apocalypse 1 seems nonexistent. Here is what the defunct article supposedly said:

HATCH HAPPY ABOUT "ZAREK"

Richard Hatch, who plays revolutionary Tom Zarek on "Battlestar Galactica," says he has not yet read the "Battlestar Galactica: Zarek" miniseries from Dynamite, but plans to. "I'm looking forward to learning more about my history and backstory," Hatch said. "I'm amazed that they decided to do a story on my character and I'm truly humbled and appreciative."

Anyone in the know about this? DrWho42 11:48, 22 June 2007 (CDT)

I suspect that it is located in philly.com's archives, which you need a not-so-free account with their website to access. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 12:20, 22 June 2007 (CDT)

Username policy template update

After a minor issue involving one user's page, I've revised the {{username}} policy template so that it serves two roles. If admins encounter a username that's inappropriate:

Add {{username}} to the top of the user's home account page.
Unless the remaining content of the user's page is in violation of other policies, do NOT make any further changes to the user's home page.
Add a new topic to the user's talk page explaining the issue and give them an appropriate time to request a change per the username policy, or note the account is banned if a significant violation.

The new template works for either scenario without having to add any other items to a user page. --Spencerian 11:55, 2 July 2007 (CDT)

BS Wiki pimped at SyFyPortal

Not sure if this is the right place to put it, but we got mentioned and linked to in an article over there, about the apparent appearance of the Demetrius in Season 4. Also contains an interesting spoiler about the Centurions, btw. --Serenity 12:39, 4 July 2007 (CDT)

Actually, Michael Hinman (operator of SyFy Portal) e-mailed me just yesterday to let me know. :-) -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 13:18, 4 July 2007 (CDT)
