Battlestar Wiki:Original Series Article Development Project
| |||||
The Original Series Article Development Project is a long-winded title for a fairly large project to develop articles relating to the original Battlestar Galactica.
Reasoning
Currently, much of our attention is directed at providing information to the current Battlestar Galactica series. While the articles relating to that series are very well developed, the area of the original series remains lacking in comparison. This was noted by Spencerian on the Wiki's general talk page, which said, in part:
- ... BSG Wiki has one Achille's Heel; the comparative lack of information on the Original Series pages as opposed to the Re-imagined Series is almost shameful ...
Therefore the drive into creating content for the original series should be a concern. Obviously, this is a voluntary effort, but any fans of the original series who wish to contribute are welcome to focus their efforts in creating articles related to the original Battlestar Galactica. (It also gives us something to do while awaiting the January airing of the second half of Season 2.)

To-Do List
Article Creation and Enhancement
Of course, please feel free to list pages that need to be worked on below.
- Episode Guides (Epsiode Summaries) - (Once we have the episode guides done, they'll serve as better sources for the Character bios)
- Actors
- Characters
Images
Many of the pages relating to the original series require images, particularly episode guides.
Ships
- Aedina - may be Mentioned-Only, but need to confirm this
- Astradon - may be Mentioned-Only, but need to confirm this
- Battlestar (TOS) - that's kind of surprising
Groups
- The Alliance - need a picture of Seetol reporting to the Centurion, demonstrating the Ovion conspiracy
- Barge Lice - a picture of a group of prisoners on the prison barge
- Grid Rats - can use same picture as Barge Lice
- Blue Squadron - a pic, or maybe a delete (not much there)?
Places
- Chancery - Maybe the one on the Rising Star
- Core command - Needs major overhaul (pics, text, etc.) Maybe do in conjunction with scanner
- Eden - picture of the ruins
- Magnetic void - Lost Planet of the Gods

Misc Items
- Ambrosa - need a picture of it, preferably in a glass.
- Book of the Word - may be Mentioned-Only, but need to confirm this
