Welcome to Battlestar Wiki!

Welcome to the Wiki, Noneofyourbusiness. Feel free to tell us about yourself on your user page. Before you get started on other edits, please read the Battlestar Wiki:Standards and Conventions, which details the policies we use in editing pages (this differs from many other wikis in consistent use of phrasing, abbreviations, format, and the like).

Also, if you have any questions or suggestions you wish to offer, please feel free to do so either on your user talk page, the Wikipedian Quorum or Administrators' noticeboard. Remember to sign your posts on any talk pages using four tildes (~~~~)! --The Merovingian 00:54, 3 March 2006 (CST)

Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up! I didn't recognize the character name, so I was afraid there might be some Lay Down Your Burdens II spoiler stuff. As it turns out it's just a minor character. There IS a Sylverviper (or similar) on the scifi.com boards, but we're not related. I do have a Steelviper account there too, but all of 3-5 posts. --Steelviper 10:51, 9 March 2006 (CST)

Six's outfit

almost all my family work in the NYC Garment Industry, so I'm an unofficial "expert." I assume you moved the virtual Six to the Cylon-Related Hallucinations article?

Yes.--Noneofyourbusiness 14:51, 20 March 2006

Talk:Precipice

Merv posted a lengthy comment, which I replied to. He then thought better of it and deleted it, making my reply bizarre and nonsensical, so I restored it with <del> tags to indicate that he'd withdrawn the opinion. --Peter Farago 13:28, 22 April 2006 (CDT)

Cool. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 14:09, 22 April 2006 (CDT)

A Favor

Noneofyourbusiness, I've asked a favor of you on User talk:The Merovingian. --Peter Farago 19:48, 22 April 2006 (CDT)

Minor?

Why do you mark almost all of your non-talk edits minor? Some of them include things like new paragraphs. --CalculatinAvatar 02:05, 30 April 2006 (CDT)

Well, one paragraph is minor, isn't it? Is that a bad thing?--Noneofyourbusiness 11:15, 30 April 2006 (EST)

It's pretty subjective, but according to Wikipedia, "any change that affects the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it involves one word." (According to Wikipedia:Minor edit). Minor edits are usually more intended for typos, spelling errors, etc, that don't change the meaning of an article and need not be reviewed. Some people trust that all minor edits are truly minor, and ignore them (even removing them from results on Recent Changes). Other people treat all edits as needing review. I tend to go with the latter, until I get the feel for how a particular user marks their edits. If their "minor" definition matches mine over time I start to ignore their minor edits (except for the occasional "audit" to make sure we're still on the same page). --Steelviper 11:18, 30 April 2006 (CDT)

English Style Usage

Hi, there. I noted you were correcting text in Cylon agent speculation. Please note that Joe Beaudoin has asked contributors to use American English formatting when editing. If you're British, of course, you can and should enter your initial contributions in the Queen's English. However, please do not re-edit correctly spelled American English entries to their British counterpart unless necessary. Thanks! --Spencerian 14:37, 1 June 2006 (CDT)

I am American. I don't know what you're talking about. Noneofyourbusiness 16:59, 1 June 2006 (CDT)

(A) I think you're referring to the edits by User:Mercifull. (B) The words Mercifull corrected were not correctly spelled in any version of English. Noneofyourbusiness 17:06, 1 June 2006 (CDT)

You can blame my spell checker for that. apologies. --Mercifull 02:59, 2 June 2006 (CDT)

Actually no, you have reverted back my typos :-/ For example: you changed the word into exhibits into exhibts. exhibts is not a word on dictionary.com. Another example... You also reverted interrogated back to interogated which is not a word either. I dont want to star a revert war you you have just removed my correct (albeit British English) spellings for your typos in neither version of english --Mercifull 03:40, 2 June 2006 (CDT)

I didn't do those things. And what I meant was that the words were incorrectly spelled before you corrected them. I am not the one who reverted them to the incorrect spellings that you corrected. Noneofyourbusiness 16:14, 2 June 2006 (CDT)

My bad, NB. I've noted his adjustments. --Spencerian 12:25, 5 July 2006 (CDT)

About Revert in Battlestar Galactica (2005 Novel)

NB, I reverted your last addition. To my knowledge and research, no humans in actual history have experienced a nuclear shockwave of the magnitude that levels Baltar's home. Soldiers have been placed in foxholes, and some naval ships have been parked outside of test blasts on the ocean, but that's about as close as my data indicates. While less-powerful atomic shockwaves from the Nagasaki and Hiroshima blasts did leave a few survivors, these can't directly equate since they are two explosive types. If you can cite your specific sources for your information, your contribution might have greater weight to stand. --Spencerian 12:24, 5 July 2006 (CDT)

No one's survived a nuclear shockwave (as no one has experienced one), but people have survived shockwaves. The one that hit Baltar's house didn't seem very strong to me. Noneofyourbusiness 21:39, 5 July 2006 (CDT)

I think Spence that what he meant is what I've been saying that Baltar's house wasn't near Caprica City so he wasn't in the actual "nuclear blast/shockwave" (That might have been poor wording) but the air burst shockwave many people survived. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 12:17, 6 July 2006 (CDT)

Quite. It's not unrealistic for Baltar to have survived such a wave with cover. He was just thrown around. What killed Six wasn't even the actual shockwave, it was the shards of glass flying into her body. Noneofyourbusiness 17:19, 6 July 2006 (CDT)

Exactly. From the windows breaking. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 17:28, 6 July 2006 (CDT)

Spence, what, in your mind, is the difference between an "atomic" shockwave and a "nuclear" shockwave? Are you getting at the difference between traditional fission bombs and the more powerful hydrogen bombs developed in the 50s? --Peter Farago 21:25, 6 July 2006 (CDT) 

About your last edit on SFM

NB, I rolled back your last re-edit as I concur with the Merovingian's last edit. SFM could plausibly mean anything, so stating one possibility out of several hundreds of thousands of word combinations without any official source to back it up is truly and purely speculative. Until we get some sourced data, it is best to leave this one alone. --Spencerian 11:50, 31 August 2006 (CDT)

Sagittaron Free Militia. Silly Fluffy Meerkats... Oh. Right. --Steelviper 12:02, 31 August 2006 (CDT)

Or "Smartass Frakking Morons." :) --Spencerian 12:13, 31 August 2006 (CDT)

Okay. But Sagittaron Freedom Movement is the most logical possibility as it fits the common naming pattern of such groups. SFM couldn't plausibly mean just anything. Noneofyourbusiness 13:08, 31 August 2006 (CDT)

Logically plausible, yes. But, unlike our logical interpretations on events (which are eventually proven right or wrong and later corrected), the meaning of an abbreviation has to be taken more literally. Despite the Space Shuttle accidents, to take a humorous example, the acronym "NASA" never really meant "Need Another Seven Astronauts." It may mean nothing at all to whomever created it--there are a few Earthly groups that form acronyms without a real meaning behind them, just because the letters sound good together. Either way, sadly, we can't know until Zarek opens his face. Maybe this is a Battlestar Wiki:Official Communiques question... --Spencerian 15:06, 31 August 2006 (CDT)

LDYB and occupation Prev/Next

We talked about the Prev/Next tabs [[Template_talk:Episode_list_%28RDM_season_2%29]|here] and not to include them in the prev/next cronology so I just reverted back tot he last version. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 21:28, 5 September 2006 (CDT)
