Revision as of 03:36, 17 October 2005

Joe Beaudoin Jr. is the webmaster and head wikipedian for the Battlestar Wiki. Much to my chargin, I am the oft-mentioned God that Six refers to almost on an per-episode basis. :-)

I hail from Vero Beach, Florida, best known to most as victim of both Hurricane Frances and Hurricane Jeanne in mid-to-late 2004.

When not working as a Product Process Senior at my local Best Buy, I do endeavor to get some work done not only here, but at Wikipedia (english). My user name at Wikipedia is Joe Beaudoin Jr.. (My username here -- Joe.Beaudoin -- is derived from my e-mail address at gmail.)

While I do prefer that you just contact me on my talk page, I can be contacted by clicking the "e-mail this user" link in the toolbox, itself being on the left margin of this page.

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.

I will be building a computer -- calling that one "Orac" as well -- that will serve as a Linux based multimedia center, with all my music and movie collections, to be loaded on three 300 GB+ Western Digital hard drives.

I also have an XBox, Playstation 2, Playstation Portable and, yes, a Nintendo 64 (for Goldeneye, otherwise I would've sold it),

P.S. Yes, you can edit my user page. I trust you. Besides, I can always re-edit your edits.

My tasks

While I really leave all the day to day editing to the contributors, leaving me free to concentrate on major issues (such as policy and so forth, being the "sysop"), I plan to work on the following:

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.

Completed Stuff

  • 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.
  • 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.
    • 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
