Military Ranks

Just a few concluding remarks I don't blame you for what you did, where I in your position I would have done the same thing. The reason I didn't respond to Serenity's first post was because until yesterday I had been unable to figure out how. As far as fear of retribution, I've never really been involved with a wiki before so I wasn't really sure what to expect and was kind of intimidated. I appreciate you're addressing my issues. Not only did it help me understand why things were happening the way they were, but it also made me feel like my input was welcome and that was all I was asking for. I am anxious to see any clarification you can offer in the weeks ahead because I find this a rather fascinating topic.

Thanks again for the clarification. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Grandmaester314 (talk • contribs).

Dynamic Page List

Hi, I just checked all feature about BW and I didn't see the Dynamic Page List feature. Do you plan one day to install it because it's very useful?--LIMAFOX76 20:32, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps. I'll talk with Shane about this. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 21:08, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Examples

Here are some examples I made for the Stargate Wiki FR:

• To see minor characters:
  • Automatic generation of a line with five stamps using DPL with entry of the series, the season, and the first article sorted.
  • Automatic generation of minor characters for the first page with automatic sort by last name
  • Automatic creation of minor character stamps page links with automatic image update and automatic update of the first and the last character name of this page.
• To see objects:
  • Automatic generation of a line. All you juste have to do is to put the correct category.
  • Autogeneration of a page with the famous lines.
• To resume objects in a bottom navigation bar:
  • Nav bar automaticaly updated (put the right category)

All you have to do with this kind or templates is to put the right category and DPL (with a purge) will do the rest. The main purpose of DPL is to avoid editing when the database can do the stuff for you. You don't have to edit an article or a template to update with new article of the same category. --LIMAFOX76 08:28, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

What about RFA and RFB for French BW ?

Hi Joe,

I'm on the verge to edit the policy for the french version of Request for Admninship and Request for Bureaucratship. I need your help for this two policies.

1. Do I just translate the English version with the same vote system than the main site?
2. Do I have to do it in another way?
3. Is the principle of request the same than the main site?

Thanks for answering.--LIMAFOX76 11:25, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

If you have any suggestions as to improve the policies in question, then that would work well. Until the French wiki has more contributors, I don't think the RFA and RFB are really going to work all that well, and so administrators are promoted on a case-by-case basis as determined by you, me, and Shane. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 13:10, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Until I design or translate all the templates needed and the main page, I think there will not be a lot of contributors. The main problem is the lack of French and French-speaking people who speak English fluently. French people are not very confortable with English, so it's very difficult for them to contribute unless they have seen the show and are fans. With your agreement, I will just create one page for RFA and RFB with the statement you said above (Shane, you and me).
FYI, all the episodes of the Re-Imagined Series have been aired in France, and have been released in DVD format (I just saw the Season 4 Part 2 Set yesterday in a supermarket) . --LIMAFOX76 14:22, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Understandable. And, yes, this works for me. I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your hard work! It is certainly appreciated! :D -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 15:21, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for encouraging. ;-) -- LIMAFOX76 17:50, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Wiki Store (FR) and iTunes (FR)

Hi again,

I can see on the Support section of the sidebar many links to affiliates (like Amazon and iTunes). Can I (or not) create similar links to french Amazon and iTunes store with french official stuff from Battlestar Galactica Franchise? --LIMAFOX76 18:06, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

I'll have to look into it. So don't worry about it for now. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 19:18, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

OK. --LIMAFOX76 20:15, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

German Battlestarwiki

For days, I have been trying to access the german Battlestarwiki - without success. Is it offline? Under maintenance?--Dvd-junkie 17:01, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm checking into it. I'll let you know when it's back online. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 17:05, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

It's back up. ;-) -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 18:22, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you!--Dvd-junkie 18:59, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Happy holidays

Hi Joe! Just wanted to say hi and happy holidays to you and yours. I am well, hope you are too. JubalHarshaw 04:43, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi Jeremy! Happy Holidays! I am doing well, and I'm glad to see that you are too! :) -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 17:57, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Hah, I feel bad now.

Since I've joined here, the only thing I've been doing is tinkering with the Glare page. Now I feel bad that's all I've been doing. =/ I gotta help out for the reals, so do any pages need serious revision/are missing a lot of crap that I can help out with? --NeutraVega 19:40, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi there! :D Sorry for the long delay in replying, but we had the database locked and the site moved to new servers, thus the delay. Anyway, we could use the most help on the Caprica pilot page and subjects relating to Caprica. So if you'd like to start there, that'd be great. :) -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 16:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Advertising and problem on media repository

Hi Joe and Happy New Year,
As I already said to Shan, I can see that you succeed to bring back the wiki. Congratulations. I have two point to ask.

1. I made a donation for the wiki to avoid advertising but I still have them on the screen, why? Thank you for your answer.
2. On the media repository, I tried to upload an image. It is actually somewhere in the directory but the sofware is unable to create a thumbnail. It says that it cannot find the "convert" file on the server. So for now, it's impossible to add new images on the media repository.

Thanks for your answer. --LIMAFOX76 15:48, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Happy New Year to you too! :D

Anyway, I went ahead and upgraded your account to sponsor status, so you shouldn't see the ads. If you do, try logging in and out again. If that doesn't work, a hard refresh should clear the cache. As for the convert issue, I'll have Shane look into it. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 15:55, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I've no ads anymore. --LIMAFOX76 15:57, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Awesome! :D -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 16:33, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Fixed the issue with the media repository as well. Cheers. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 21:16, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

InterBot and BS Pegasus

Hi Joe.
1. It seems that InterBot doesn't work because the interwiki link I made on the pages I created aren't duplicated on the other wikis.
2. I don't have access to BS Pegasus either. It says it's forbidden. Is there any problem since the server transfer or something?
Thanks for your answer. --LIMAFOX76 21:41, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Calendar dates on auction items

Hi Joe,

I expanded the Colonial calendar#Different Dating Methods section with information from a couple of auction items and noticed in the process that you wrote at least some of the blog entries at battlestarprops.com. Do you recall seeing any calendar items I haven't mentioned yet, and if so, could you point me to their pictures? It would also be nice to see a higher resolution scan of Socrata's medal of valor document, if one is available.

Regards,

-- Graf Iblis 19:55, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
