'''Joe Beaudoin Jr.''' is the webmaster and head honcho for the [[Battlestar Wiki]].


I hail from [[Wikipedia:Vero Beach, Florida|Vero Beach, Florida]], best known to most as victim of both [[Wikipedia:Hurricane Frances|Hurricane Frances]] and [[Wikipedia:Hurricane Jeanne|Hurricane Jeanne]] in mid-to-late 2004.
I am responsible for starting the beast you see before you now; all the contributors and visitors are responsible for the beast's development and continual growth. This is very much a community-driven effort that has surpassed even my wildest expectations. With that in mind, I thank you all for your hard work and dedication! So say we all!

As for computing, I use a custom built, AMD-64 Debian Linux machine called "Zen". ("Zen" is the name of the computer that ran the ''Liberator'' on ''Blake's 7''.) I did have a Toshiba laptop called "Orac" (yet another ''Blake's 7'' reference), but I no longer have it as I gave the computer to my father for his real estate business. Instead, I have a PowerBook G4 -- swearing off Windows-based machines for good.
* [[Battlestar Wiki:Standards and Conventions (biographies)]] - Created out of the need to standardize biographies of cast and crew. Now being implemented on a wider-scale.
 
* [[Battlestar Wiki:Image tagging policy]] - For the simple fact that many of the images on this wiki aren't organized at all, though most of them are used thanks to Steelviper's [[Battlestar Wiki:Island of Misfit Images]].
I constructed a computer -- calling that one "Orac" as well -- that serves as a Linux based multimedia center, with all my music and movie collections, to be loaded on three 300 GB+ Western Digital hard drives.
* [[Battlestar Wiki:Vandalism]] - You know, just in case some Toaster decides to vandalise pages... Look at what they did to the restaurant that Helo and Boomer were in. All that crockery... oh the pain, the pain.
 
* [[Battlestar Wiki:Quality Articles]] - As the name ''might'' suggest, this is a project to ID quality pages and develop potential quality pages.  The best of the best.
I also have an XBox, Playstation 2, Playstation Portable and, yes, a Nintendo 64 (for ''Goldeneye'', otherwise I would've sold it).
** [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support]] - place to beg for donations, which will go towards paying for the hosting and for future upgrades; not that it's a burden, but I want to give people the option to give back in whatever way they feel is best -- and some people like to do it financially.
 
* [[Battlestar Wiki:Think Tank]] - The incubator for wide-scale ideas to improve the wiki. If you wish to propose a project or new feature, this is where you need to do so. (I would honestly like more contributors to offer suggestions here, because there's always room for improvement.)
P.S. Yes, you can edit my user page. I trust you.  Besides, I can always re-edit your edits.

At present, I have a MacBook Pro -- swearing off Windows-based machines for good, or so I hoped. I do use Windows machines here and there due to business reasons, but nothing beats a Mac in terms of ease of use.
* Create the following policies:
** [[Battlestar Wiki:Image Tagging]] - wikiproject/policy to tag all images added to the wiki, so that they may be categorized in some fashion
** [[Battlestar Wiki:Conflict Resolution]] - policy regarding resolution of disputes between editors; not that this is a problem, but I'd like to get something concrete set up should there be any issues in the future, given the growth of this Wiki
* Work on the following non-policies:
** [[Battlestar Wiki:Community Portal]] - links to outside sites and items related to [[Battlestar Wiki:Wikipedian Quorum]]
** [[Battlestar Wiki:Template List]] - list of all templates available for this wiki
 
I also plan to import and rewrite some policies from Wikipedia, mainly pertaining to style and the "nomination for administration" guidelines.
 
The red links are obviously stuff I haven't done yet.
