What is the source for Mrs. Adama's name being "Evelyn" and Adama's parents having divorced while he was in his teens. --Noneofyourbusiness 23:41, 27 April 2006 (EST)

SkyOne. See the bottom of William Adama. --Peter Farago 23:00, 27 April 2006 (CDT)

Right. I added notes that the canonicity of those data is questionable as SkyOne info has been contradicted onscreen before (see the SkyOne descriptions of Lee Adama and Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)).

I think it's important to have a cite, but we don't really have to say "beware, information source is dubious". SkyOne is an official source, and we can treat their comments as canon until proven otherwise (just like we tolerate an article on the RDM Celestra, despite it's sole appearance as a feature on the SciFi.com website). --Peter Farago 13:21, 28 April 2006 (CDT)

The only official source are the producers and other people who work on the show. Those biographies seem to have been put together from part official information and part stuff-that-sounded-good. The fact that information from SkyOne has been contradicted in the past *necessitates* that a warning be given that other information from that source may not be canon. That said, after seeing your notations I think that they do imply the necessary amount of doubt. --Noneofyourbusiness 14:53, 28 April 2006 (EST)
