Welcome to Battlestar Wiki!
Welcome to the Wiki, Stltcom. Feel free to tell us about yourself on your user page. Before you get started on other edits, please read the Standards and Conventions, which details the policies we use in editing pages (this differs from many other wikis in its particular use of verb tense, abbreviations, formatting, and the like). If you need help in learning how to use the MediaWiki tools supported here, you can check out the tutorial and the wiki markup code pages for assistance.
Please read the articles "What is Battlestar Wiki" and "What Battlestar Wiki is Not." This important information details what contributions are acceptable in this encyclopedia.
We encourage you to participate in any projects on Battlestar Wiki, which work to enhance a particular subject or extension of the wiki.

Your contributions to William Adama
Your edits are generally good, but keep in mind that you don't have to retell the whole episodes. That's not what the character articles are for, at least not the ones for major characters. Some are like that, but that's not what they are supposed to be, and there are attempts underway to rectify that. Most importantly, it's not necessary to retell events that aren't even related to the character in question like you did with "Rapture" and "Taking a Break...". In the latter case it's more important to note that Adama acts as interrogator than saying that Roslin wants to give Baltar a trial. "The Woman King" is totally irrelevant in this case, as Adama does nothing noteworthy there. "A Day in the Life" though is more important. At least the part about the Adama. What doesn't need to be mentioned so much is the whole part about the airlock crisis, for example.
Furthermore you should have a look at BW:SAC. Your style and formatting is generally ok, but there are some, admittedly small things, I noticed:
- Ship names are always put in italics
- When referring to the Colonial ragtag Fleet - not the Cylon fleet, we treat "Fleet" as proper noun and capitalize it.
- Note that there are disambiguations (TOS vs TNS/RDM) for some items, like the Cylons. Instead of linking to [[Cylons]] use [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] instead. The links to TNS articles always use "(RDM)".
- When citing several episodes in parentheses, put them in quotation marks. --Serenity 13:49, 25 March 2007 (CDT)
