Why are we using small site icons on top of our own for external links? That seems to imply that those sites are subordinate to us, in some way. We should just use their regular logos. --Peter Farago 16:42, 29 April 2006 (CDT)

It doesn't suggset they are subordinate. The icons together means "partnership". If we where on top, it would say "Battlestar Wiki 'Sister Projects'" --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 17:16, 29 April 2006 (CDT)

But we're not in "partnership" with them. We just admire the other sites and are offering links. --Peter Farago 17:17, 29 April 2006 (CDT)

then Special friends. Gateworld, as Joe pointed out, gives us permission to use images from thier site and we use alot of Wikipedia's stuff. We should even get a Memory Alpha Icon because they provided images also. I just don't think up these things, they are in most of the "Policy" pages that are in the Category:Wikipedia --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 17:50, 29 April 2006 (CDT)

I completely disagree. Superimposing their logo on ours implies a relationship that does not exist. Mercifull, I understand that this is your department - it would be cool if you could upload stand-alone versions of these icons. If not, I'll do it later this week. --Peter Farago 04:25, 30 April 2006 (CDT)

Well.. if you upload new ones, make sure they are different files names. Those two images are used in the Markup project page and the gateworld template. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 07:48, 30 April 2006 (CDT)

Can i ask why you are even part of this project? --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 07:55, 30 April 2006 (CDT)

Excuse me? It's going to be the first thing that people see, coming to the site. It's of concern to me. --Peter Farago 12:50, 30 April 2006 (CDT)

Your admin status does not grant you the right to what is shown. Only the power and ability to enforce the rules set forth by the Wiki master, Joe. If you had an objection and wanted an actiont aking, you should have asked the community, except you are the only person who objected and demandad a change. I bet you after I post this, Merv will object also. You abuse your power and an administrator making sure the site is PERFECT for you and your image. I am working on the site image, so don't give me this crap. You do this for every person that is here, and if I was a person to vote agaisnt your Rfa, I would have. Maybe you object to the wording? maybe we sould call them Special Links. Friends means something we trust. Which is part of a relationship. Again, you contradicted yourself on this page. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 14:43, 30 April 2006 (CDT)

Shane please be constructive, Peter is only trying to help. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 15:06, 30 April 2006 (CDT)

I have been. I ask for people comments, I get none. So I am expecting everything is fine. And then when we get down to the wire to puting it live. Custrctive, I asked for cuntructive, and I get nothing. There is a huge sitenotice on the top of the website. Nothing else gets completed also because no one has read or commented on mu suggestions or ideas in some of the aspects of this project also. (i.e. Featured Article/Picture section.) I took the Community {{inuse}} section tag off because I was done with it. No one has commented on that either so I am guess it's it's perfect. Granted none of this cane go live without Joe, but I understand his sceheudle and Peter's. But as long as it is ready to go with just a "copy" and "paste", that would be the fastest transision. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 16:10, 30 April 2006 (CDT)
