The scientist's findings have a bias in that we haven't anything (or anywhere) to compare their results to. While I understand that genetics connect the human race, official sources for the show indicate that viewers must not assume that the Earth in the series is that of our relative past, present, or future. Therefore we should not make [[Battlestar Wiki:Fanwanking|inappropriate speculation]] until the series writers define more for us. You might want to visit the [[Sacred Scrolls]] article for what other contributors have derived regarding the multi-exodus theory based on what's been presented in the show thus far. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 15:38, 27 October 2006 (CDT) | The scientist's findings have a bias in that we haven't anything (or anywhere) to compare their results to.

Hi Bradtem. I rolled back your contribution to the article [[Temple of Five]]. Your edits simply expanded on the brief descriptions there without giving any new specifics on the article's subject, which goes against our status quo policy of not repeating or creating episode narratives in an article unnecessarily: that's what the episode article itself ([[Rapture]]) is for. One unrelated matter: to make easier for others to know who we replying to in talk contributions, be sure to enter your signature after your comment. You can use two hyphens and four tildes (<nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki>) or you can use the signature button at the top of the page that appears while you edit. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 09:30, 1 February 2007 (CST) | |||
Revision as of 15:30, 1 February 2007
Welcome to Battlestar Wiki!
Welcome to the Wiki, Bradtem. 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. These include the Original Series Article Development Project and several language translations of Battlestar Wiki. If you have a new idea for a new project, visit the Think Tank, where we hash out large-scale ideas before implementing them.
Also, if you have any questions or suggestions you wish to offer, please feel free to do so either on an article's talk page that's relevant to the subject, the Wikipedian Quorum or the Administrators' noticeboard. Remember to sign your posts on any talk pages using four tildes (~~~~)!
We look forward to your contributions to the community! --CalculatinAvatar(C-T) 13:43, 27 October 2006 (CDT)

Hi there. I removed a recent edit that you added in the article on Earth.
It is worth noting that it's a very strongly established scientific fact that humans come from Earth. All life on Earth is closely related, and has been here for billions of years -- as has been revealed by DNA sequencing done after the original Galactica. Indeed humans share over a quarter of their genes with Earth plants. A story depicting Earth humanity as descended from a tribe from another planet would be in serious contradiction with scientific reality. Of course, this sometimes happens in SF TV.
The scientist's findings have a bias in that we haven't anything (or anywhere) to compare their results to. While I understand that genetics connect the human race, official sources for the show indicate that viewers must not assume that the Earth in the series is that of our relative past, present, or future. Therefore we should not make inappropriate speculation until the series writers define more for us. You might want to visit the Sacred Scrolls article for what other contributors have derived regarding the multi-exodus theory based on what's been presented in the show thus far. --Spencerian 15:38, 27 October 2006 (CDT)
