Battlestar Wiki:Original Series Article Development Project

From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
This page is one of Battlestar Wiki's many projects.
This page serves to coordinate discussion on a particular aspect of this Wiki. The formal recommendations of a project may be treated as policies.

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.

Relevant Articles Article Creation
  • Answaw - picture plus snippet (woman in elevator right after Starbuck is busted by Athena and Cassie in the chancery)
  • Base ship - used by Starbuck to describe Galactica, also used interchangeably with Basestar (TOS) (add to terminology?)
  • Caprica Presidium - should there be a separate Caprica Presidium article, or should it go under Presidium? (This is where Serina reports from initially).
  • Gold cluster - to be awarded to Apollo, Starbuck, and Boomer by Sire Uri, the military's highest honor
  • Languatron - I've got a screencap of this handy translator.
  • List of Deleted Scenes (TOS) - should we go ahead and start this one up?
  • Tucana singers - article creation plus picture
Character Expansion Fact Checking/Expansion/Pics
Ran through the article and tried to better segregate the content. I think having one article, with the video game information, is more prudent than having a two articles.

Fire in Space

  • Uniforms (TOS) - Need to add the fire clothing and space suits depicted in this ep.
  • Galactica (TOS) - We can use some of the info in this episode to expand a bit on the layout.

General

We should probably do a series of articles similar to the RDM "Twelve Colonies" series that Peter started. Here's an idea:
