[edit] The 'Verse map you submitted
Do you have (or have you created any further) info on the names of the planets you picture in your graphic of the 'Verse?
If so, could you e-mail me at lynnlefey@hotmail.com, or post the information to the 'Waves in the Black' messages boards?
I appreciate your time, and the system map looks very shiny. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.241.198.254 (talk • contribs) .
[edit] KITT images
Ok! But in my opinion my photos (with the red scanner switched on and the dashboard) are more interesting than the pic taken at the Universal Studios. Wikis of many countries now show my pics, even if the car is only "a someone's weekend project". Arroww 00:38, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
- No problem, thanks for the clarification. --Arroww 18:51, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cloud 9 disaster
I'm not sure which edit you're talking about. Can you provide a link? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 05:10, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Colonial Defender
Hey. I've gone ahead and removed it again as while it may actually be a "Colonial Defender" it has never actually been identified on screen.. and for that matter you would expect it would do some defending at the least wouldnt you

- I'd welcome a listing on the page if it had actually been identified on-screen.. only problem is it has'nt yet and that source they cited isnt exactly reliable.. and also it hasnt been seen doing any "defending" - so I cant imagine it being in future episode.. (unless RDM does a retcon) MatthewFenton (talk • contribs • count • email) 22:12, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- What do you think about merging Cloud Nine? Though I think Colonial One should keep an article though. MatthewFenton (talk • contribs • count • email) 22:49, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Episode naming
Hi, Cyberia. There's actually been a lot of discussion about this subject at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television) and its talk page. The consensus of most of the editors there is that articles should be disambiguated only when it's necessary — that is, when there's no other article by that name. This is why, for example, Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down was moved to that location from Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down (Battlestar Galactica) — there is no other article that could be at that page. This is in keeping with the general disambiguation guidelines at WP:D, specifically WP:D#Deciding to disambiguate, which says:
Ask yourself: When a reader enters this term and pushes "Go", what article would they most likely be expecting to view as a result? (For example, when someone looks up Joker, would they find information on a comedian? On a card? On Batman's nemesis? On the hit song or album by The Steve Miller Band?) When there is no risk of confusion, do not disambiguate nor add a link to a disambiguation page.
The argument you give (that using parenthetical phrases consistently keeps articles consistent and makes them easier to identify) has been considered in the debate at WT:TV-NC, but most editors felt that the "consistency" was a misleading virtue, since preemptive disambiguation actually makes articles less consistent with the general Wikipedia naming scheme. And the article itself should provide enough context to identify it. The category system also unites articles on a similar topic.
The Star Trek precedent is, in my opinion, a bad one; the editors at the Star Trek WikiProject have been informed of the discussion at WT:TV-NC, and it is likely that Star Trek episode articles will also be moved soon.
I admit that Resurrection Ship and Cylon resurrection ship are a slightly complicated case, but I think that since the episode is titled Resurrection Ship (with a capital "S") and the ship itself is at Cylon resurrection ship (with no capitals), it's sufficiently clear. However, if you and other BSG editors feel that it's better to have Resurrection ship as a disambiguation page, with the episode at Resurrection Ship (Battlestar Galactica episode) and the ship at Cylon resurrection ship, that would be OK too. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 05:35, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
- It's been considered. See the extensive discussion at WT:TV-NC and its archives, especially here. Basically, the argument is that disambiguation isn't about identifying a subject unless there are two articles that might otherwise share the same name. So it's appropriate for "The Enemy Within" to be disambiguated The Enemy Within (TOS episode), since there are other meanings of The Enemy Within (disambiguation). But there's no need for Charlie X to be disambiguated, since only the TOS episode has that name. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 05:44, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
- Josiah means "some" editors.. 50% does not equate to "most" Josiah. Matthew Fenton (talk • contribs • count • email) 08:29, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] canon
Oh please - that's utterly absurd - what on earth made you think that? Please look at Talk:Galaxy class starship, where I get accused of 'blasphemy' for suggesting that non-canon starships should be allowed there. Please look at timeline of Star Trek, where I have added details of the early Spaceflight Chronology and suchforth. Please look at Other Starfleet ship classes#Federation class, which I just added yesterday. Is this the action of a canon fascist? I expect an apology.
All I want is that stuff, from canon and non-canon stuff should be properly sourced. Most of it isn't at the moment. Particularly bad is where we claim information has been sourced from an episode, but it actually comes from Okuda. That's great to have that information, but it should be sourced to Okuda. Morwen - Talk 07:43, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- I am just amused that two people can interpret me wanting information to be sourced in two entirely different ways. Morwen - Talk 09:49, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

She put a reference to me on her user page as well, haha. MatthewFenton (talk • contribs • count • email) 09:38, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- HEH, Yeah, Morwen... just a stupid situation there - I've tried to not let people get to me here anymore, but every once in while someone comes along and really grind my gears (as Peter from Family Guy would say) :P Cyberia23 09:46, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- You ever considered running for adminship? Phil Welch blocked me as well.. I had him overturned pretty quick though, hehe. MatthewFenton (talk • contribs • count • email) 09:47, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- Well, originally I had the "This user is not an admin, and doesn't want to be" userbox tag on my user page - I took it down because I was thinking about applying. As of now though, with the Morwen fiasco recently hitting me, I think I'd rather lie low for a while and try sometime next year. Cyberia23 09:52, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Number Eight (Galactica)
The "complex link" was to the specific subsection corresponding to the particular Number Eight copy which was the subject of the text. It seemed more useful to me than just linking to the Number Eight article itself.
Anyway on the original issue, while I'm fine with using "Sharon Valerii" for either Galactica-Sharon or Caprica-Sharon, I don't think the latter should be called "Boomer". To my knowledge, that name has always been reserved for Galactica-Sharon, and Caprica-Sharon was only called that by Helo prior to her identity being revealed. --Saforrest 03:31, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
