Relevant Articles Article Creation
  • Evie the Chimp - the "actor" who portrayed Muffit II
    • Back issue of TV guide with possible Evie info has been ordered.
Character Expansion Fact Checking/Expansion/Pics

Verification

Articles that have been worked on, but need verification before crossing out as completed.

  • Arts and Entertainment of the Twelve Colonies (TOS) - tucana singers, gambling
  • 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?)
  • Battlestar (TOS) - added pic
  • Blonde Taurus - seems pertinent enough for an article of her own...
  • Caprica Presidium - should there be a separate Caprica Presidium article, or should it go under Presidium? (This is where Serina reports from initially).
  • Centurion (TOS) - cite execution?
  • Cylons (TOS) - most of the mythology is layed out in this ep
    • Added bit about "most practical form" as well as the "bigger, stronger, interchangable parts"
  • Cylon Mine - fact checking, better cites?
    • Did some cleanup. The only thing I'm concerned on is the apparent implication that the mine was enough to destroy a battlestar.
  • Defensive shields - pics added
  • Fashions of the Twelve Colonies (TOS) - more screencaps and descriptions of carillon patrons, maybe add the council's dress (especially the more diverse opening council)
  • Gold Cluster - to be awarded to Apollo, Starbuck, and Boomer by Sire Uri, the military's highest honor
  • Government of the Twelve Colonies (TOS) - government, Quorum of Twelve (TOS), concept of referendum on Carillon (disarmament issue)
  • Hasari - mythology check, exclude or separate video game content?
    • 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.
  • Ila - fact checking
    • Fact checking concluded. Everything is A O.K.
  • Imperious Leader - one of the main eps for this character
  • Languatron - I've got a screencap of this handy translator.
  • Launch bay - where the choochoo goes to...
  • Launch tubes (TOS) - where the Vipers are launched through
  • List of Deleted Scenes (TOS) - Started. However, I can't add any more to it since my DVD keeps on freezing up due to possible damage.
  • Peanuts - possibly the name of the dog who briefly portrayed the original daggit, Muffit
  • Rapid transport trolly - we should probably note the trolly transporter that the pilots use to get to the launch bay.
  • Society of the Twelve Colonies (TOS) - society, such as religion (Otori sect)
  • Technology of the Twelve Colonies (TOS) - Languatron, etc.
  • The Alliance - looks ok.
  • The Twelve Colonies (TOS) - note the taurus woman
  • Thousand-Yahren War - fact checking, again a big mythology ep
    • Has been rewritten. Please post thoughts on talk page.
  • Tucan - update to point to Tucana singers (once it exists)
    • Question: Was Tucan even mentioned as a planet?
      • I'll dig into this more. My initial reaction was the same as yours, but when I was about to strike out the page I found some references online that make it seem like it may have been in the source material (writer/script guide, etc.) and not from onscreen.
        • The Writer's Guide has the name "Tucanas" and a brief description of them. No mention on "Tucana" as a planet though. For now, it's probably best to direct Tucan to Tucanas.
        • In addition, the reference may come from "Galactica Stuff: A Colonial's Guide to the Galaxy", by Sharon Monroe, which appears to have been more fan written if anything else.
  • Tucana singers - article creation plus picture

Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I

Relevant Articles Article Creation
  • ale - swiped for the party
  • Pressure suit - complete with pic
  • Galactica security - two security officers attempt to search for stolen victuals before being thwarted by Colonel Tigh; question is though, is this worthy of an article, or merely a note in Council Security, since the uniforms are essentially the same?
    • Let's just note it in Council Security. A blackshirt is a blackshirt.
  • Command chamber - the area from where Baltar and the Imperious Leader command, at least in the beginning of the series
  • Outer marker - where Jolly and Boomer are forced to hold position until cleared to land
  • Warriors Lounge - where the party's at (spelling debatable)
  • Battle of Otarsis Quadrant - the battle resulting in the destruction of the listening post, so that Salik can land his team on the asteroid
Character Expansion Fact Checking/Expansion/Pics
  • Probe 1 - should we even bother with a pic?
    • I'd lean against it. It's kind of like Bootlegger 137. Maybe just classify it a "terminology" article?
  • Probe 2 - same as Probe 1

Verification

  • Cryogen tube - where you stick the sickies (until you can figure out how to heal them)
  • Cylon listening post - needs a second verification
  • isoldin - something that the sickies get
  • Epsilon Quadrant - quadrant where Lucy says the fleet's headed -- and since they're headed towards the void, Kobol's gotta be here too
  • Otarsis Quadrant asteroid - an article about the unnamed asteroid where the disease comes from, since it's important to the ep
  • Otarsis Quadrant - the area where the asteroid is located, judging from Lucifer's comments to Baltar

War of the Gods

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:
