Welcome to Battlestar Wiki!

Welcome to the Wiki, Telek. Tell us about yourself on your user page.

Battlestar Wiki is an encyclopedia on officially-licensed stories, aired episodes, and other products of the Battlestar universes. Make sure that your contributions fit Battlestar Wiki's purpose, avoiding what we aren't.

Our editing standards and conventions policies may differ from other wikis, especially in verb tense and voice, capitalization and the like. Please read this policy. We have an editing tutorial and wiki markup codes to help you.

Our policies on original research differ from places such as Wikipedia. We allow some research based on aired episode content, but don't allow speculation that isn't supported from episode events.

Battlestar Wiki's many projects help improve our content. Are you a Original Series fan? Help out in the Original Series Article Project. Non-English versions of Battlestar Wiki also need contributors, and helpers for our podcast transcriptions are also welcome. New projects should be brought to our Think Tank, where we hash out large-scale ideas before implementing them.

Any questions about an article can be entered on the article's talk page. General questions about the wiki can be brought to the Quorum or the administrators' noticeboard. To sign your posts on any talk page, just enter four tildes (~~~~)!

We look forward to your contributions to the community! --Mercifull (Talk/Contribs) 08:10, 11 April 2007 (CDT)

Standards and Conventions

Please have a look at BW:SAC. At least the section about the episode pages at the very end.

  1. Although it seems somewhat contradictory, the Question section is not for answers. At least for own speculative answers. Those questions should only be answered with links to future episodes. When you do own analysis it belongs to Analysis. That's where I moved most of your additions to "The Captain's Hand"
  2. We use the present tense for nearly everything. And also usually the passive voice. So instead of "The viewers can see..." it is preferred to write "It can be seen that...". The latter is not really an error, but just a question of style though.
