Block of 81.177.14.26

On another wiki I visit has a massive spam attack by this ip advertising comerical spam from wikipost.info. I searched for the url of the spam it was advertising and saw that it was crawling several other wikis posting large amounts of spam (2mb of text on each page). I felt that this preemptive block was neccesary on this occation. --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 09:27, 10 January 2007 (CST)

In that case, it's fine. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 15:17, 10 January 2007 (CST)

Congratulations

^_^ --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 11:39, 19 January 2007 (CST)

Thanks. It is a nice rifle, isn't it? Oh. The baby? Yeah, well that'll be a whole new adventure. --Steelviper 11:47, 19 January 2007 (CST)

Congratulations! When can you get him or her on to do some editing? :) --Spencerian 12:05, 19 January 2007 (CST)

Possible record for youngest Battlestar Wiki member --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 12:13, 19 January 2007 (CST)

It'll be a race, no doubt. We're still at least a couple years from acceptable edits. Plus the mature nature of the content makes TOS and 1980 far more likely candidates for viewing of the editor-to-be than RDM, presently. --Steelviper 12:20, 19 January 2007 (CST)

The question is: Will you bring up your son/daughter to not know that Galactica 1980 exists and that TOS and RDM are the only episodes ever made? Perhaps they will be happier having never seen or heard of the travesty that is 1980? --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 12:22, 19 January 2007 (CST)

Galactica Squadrons

While re-watching Act of Contrition I noticed a few more Galactica squadrons shown on the walls in the pilots' ready room. In the beginning of the ep when Adama enters, he touches the "Lest We Forget" picture then passes a squadron crest labeled "Vampires". A minute or two later, when we see Sgt. Hadrian standing against the wall, we can clearly see 7th Squadron "Battleaxe" and 4th squadron "Demons" on the wall behind her. How could one go about adding this to the wiki?AnteaterFeeder 21:04, 20 January 2007 (CST)

You can just create an article. /wiki/Vampire squadron -- then just create it. :-) Check out BW:MARK Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 21:13, 20 January 2007 (CST)

I recall seeing some of these squadrons (and their associated patches) floating around in some of the signatures of folks at the scifi.com bulletin boards and elsewhere. There's not much info to be had, so rather than creating a tiny article for each of those, maybe we should consider Squadrons of Galactica or Squadrons of the Colonial Fleet that lists out all the squadron names and insignia that we can find, with possible redirects to that article from the individual unit names. Maybe we should bring this up at List of Pilots (RDM) or a similar article, to see if we can find some other hands? --Steelviper 21:25, 20 January 2007 (CST)

That sounds like a good idea-- the "Galactica Squadrons" page. I wouldn't know how to go about making that page. I'm still pretty new at this. I did however note that the Vampires are the 6th squadron as well as an 8th squadron (an 8 on a red spade), and a Viper Weapons School logo on the walls too. I will bring this up in the list of pilots page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by AnteaterFeeder (talk • contribs).

Agreed, one page for all squadrons is better. That can then incoporate the info found at Primus and Vigilantes now --Serenity 05:49, 21 January 2007 (CST)

I tried to post this last night (blasted internet), but something like Squadrons of Battlestar Galactica works. I've been collecting screenshots of the logos when I could trying to identify them, but unfortunately, most are too blurry to read with NTSC DVDs. There is also some good shots of crests during the debate scene in LDYB part I. Finally, there is also a crest for a "Viper Weapons School", presumably the colonial equivelant of the US Naval Fighter Weapons School, aka TOPGUN. This could be mentioned in the Colonial fleet article. --Talos 06:40, 21 January 2007 (CST)

I'll go ahead and create the article, by moving the Primus and Vigilante stuff there. Then someone else can add the others. EDIT: It can be found at Squadrons of Galactica, and maybe we should move further discussion there :) --Serenity 06:49, 21 January 2007 (CST)

Thanks for the suggestion! I wasn't aware we could create subpages of our user pages. -- Troyian 09:33, 9 February 2007 (CST)

Podcast info

Info came from the extended podcast. There's no available normal podcast. --LifeStar 08:56, 21 February 2007 (CST)

Hopefully a "normal" one will be released later (at least that's the way it seemed from the post they put up at the Scifi forums). If that occurs it might help to distinguish which podcast that info came from. Nice find, by the way. That one was confusing us over here. --Steelviper 08:59, 21 February 2007 (CST)
