I just registered 5 minutes ago, so be gentle... Is there any reason why the references to BattleStar's and Raiders are neither capitalized, or links?

Hi! Welcome to the Wiki -- I hope you have a blast here!  :-) Anyway, to address your question, Battlestar can be spelled one of two ways ("Battlestar" or "battlestar"). ("BattleStar" is an incorrect spelling, by the way.) As for raiders, you can capitalize them or not; it's similar to writing the "stealth fighter" or "naval carrier" -- you can choose whether or not to capitalize the first letters of each word. As for the links, by default the first letter of any article is capitalized. Why? It's just how the software we use works.  :-) Hope that answers your question! -- Joe Beaudoin 16:54, 14 Jun 2005 (EDT)

I noticed that Kuralyov had a number of Talk entries regarding basestars. Was he just tweaking the language?

Just redirects from the various names used to describe Basestars, so any newcomer will be better able to find it via search. 68.9.113.183 22:23, 15 Jun 2005 (EDT)
Whoops, I was logged out for some reason when I posted that. Kuralyov 22:24, 15 Jun 2005 (EDT)

I'm not sure if the new bulleted list works or not. --The Merovingian (C - E) 23:39, 22 March 2006 (CST)

Each bulleted segment refers to a specific instance of an encounter between depicted Colonial forces and (a) Cylon basestar(s). The section title of "Encounters With the Colonial Fleet", and the way that the material was structured when I initiated the edit, implied that this was a list of some kind, at least a loosely associated one. The material that was there was also grammatically sloppy, overly detailed in some areas, and vague in others. -- Hawke 23:47, 22 March 2006 (CST)
You did a good job re-editing it, I'm just "not sure" it's best to keep it as a bulleted list, I don't know if this would be "aesthetically pleasing" or whatever. Point is I'm not sure; I dunno, just bringing up the point; whatever you guys decide I'm fine with; wouldn't be a problem if it stays the way Hawke left it. --The Merovingian (C - E) 00:17, 23 March 2006 (CST)

TOS Basestar

Can someone please add a some information about the original basestar.

See the first line of the article, please. --Day 01:26, 17 January 2006 (EST)

Image placement

So, rather than a revert war: I had shifted one of the images on this page to the left for balance. That's the scheme that's used on many character pages and I think it looks best. However, Bane Grievver seems to disagree but reverted without comment, so I'm soliciting one here. Any particular reason, Bane, or just because that's how it was before? --Day 01:30, 17 January 2006 (EST)

I liked it your way, FWIW. --Peter Farago 17:10, 17 February 2006 (EST)
I just made it what I'd imagine your way was in ignorance of the previous revert issue. I also added another image on the right, so hopefully that will remove any objection. --CalculatinAvatar 20:01, 31 March 2006 (CST)

792?

Maybe I'm being dense, but how do you count the number of launch slots with such certainty? I could understand a Zoic source, I suppose, but just counting leaves me less sure. --CalculatinAvatar 20:03, 31 March 2006 (CST)

Images linked to in article

As the wiki doesnt count the images linked in this article to be counted as being used I have thumbed them here so that they will not be deleted.
