Welcome to Battlestar Wiki!

Welcome to the Wiki, Meteor. 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! --Spencerian 09:37, 20 December 2006 (CST)

Welcome, Meteor. I normally leave comments to people when something is wrong after their first edits to the wiki. Your contribution on Kobol was inaccurate, but I understand the confusion. In the series timeline, the oracle Pythia wrote her passages 3,600 years P.T.M. (prior to the miniseries and "present day"), about the same time as the Thirteenth Tribe left Kobol for Earth, stopping on the algae planet for a time and leaving the Temple of Five. Tyrol's comment that the Temple is 4,000 years old, given that he's not an archeologist or a historian, is generally correct. The Twelve Tribes, which made the Colonies, left 2,000 years P.T.M., or almost 2,000 years later. So there's not really a contradiction there, just a little inaccuracy on Tyrol's part. Be sure to read the standards and conventions for submitting contributions; your edit was also awkwardly placed. Thanks for contributing and enjoy! --Spencerian 10:19, 20 December 2006 (CST)
