Sources talk:Sky One Profile of William Adama

Source?

I pulled this from the William Adama page (indirectly, via Spencerian's experiment). Does anybody have a link to the original text for this? It'd be helpful to anchor this as a valid source if we had a link (even if only to a cached version of the Sky One website). --Steelviper 12:34, 19 June 2006 (CDT)

I went over this a lot in a previous discussion and I'm really against it: We found out that this SkyOne information hasn't actually been online in over a year: it got yanked. But enough people copied it onto other fansites that someone was able to find it and post it again here. ***The fact that it was *taken down* from the SkyOne website really makes me think it wasn't even accurate anymore, so Ron & Co. asked to take it down. It MIGHT reflect early Series Bible stuff, but A) we're not sure of that, or if it was just made up B) if it was real at the time it might be from such an early build that it's no longer accurate, like that early draft of the Miniseries that was floating around. ---->If you look, the bio pages for all of the main casts' characters have SkyOne information at the bottom....and if you check, I've already added in commentary at the bottom of each one, pointing out how aired episodes have actually contradicted them on many points. I think we should just remove it all from BattlestarWiki entirely. It's come to the point where *we* are actually the only ones keeping it alive. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 14:56, 19 June 2006 (CDT)

That's not acceptable. This is not a pipe... er, Battlestar Galactica. *We* cannot be a source. If nobody can step up and provide a concrete source for this, then it should be deleted per BW:CITE. --Steelviper 15:17, 19 June 2006 (CDT)

I agree. No extant source provides this material anymore. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 17:49, 19 June 2006 (CDT)

Deletion

Should we remove ALL SkyOne information, from all articles? I think we should --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 10:49, 20 June 2006 (CDT)

Maybe you should raise the issue at BW:CITE. --Steelviper 10:57, 20 June 2006 (CDT)

I did, May 21st. I'll bring up the matter again. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 11:01, 20 June 2006 (CDT)

Where do you draw the line? The Sky One site is an official site. I'm sure you are aware of Sky financing the first series of BSG. If you choose to not allow any Sky One material when do you stop? What about the Sci Fi website... What about the guide book...? None of which written directly by Ron Moore. So long as things are clearly cited from the Sky One site using the <ref> tag things I think they should stay --Mercifull 11:27, 20 June 2006 (CDT)

Re-imagined Series definition: Battlestar Group ^{(TRS: "Water")}. It also doubles as an acronym for the television series itself.
