| == Javascript Reported Vandals ==
| |
|
| |
| == Advertisement from hotest-tgp-pics.com ==
| |
|
| |
| When accessing a page on BSWiki just now, I ran into a very annoying advertisement. Before the page had even loaded, I was redirected to [http://hotest-tgp-pics.com hotest-tgp-pics.com] (not even in a new window or tab, so it overwrote the page I was viewing), which in turn resized my window to minuscule proportions, then put up a message box over it. Because my PC is slow, I can follow this, but on a fast PC it would seem like my browser window had disappeared. The message box was a misleading advertisement from [http://www.systemdoctor.com SystemDoctor], stating there were errors in my Registry (I'm running Linux, so I don't even ''have'' a registry) and telling me to click OK if I wanted SystemDoctor to check my non-existent registry, or click Cancel if not. After clicking Cancel, I was led to SystemDoctor's download page. I used the Back button to go all the way back to BSWiki, where I finally got to view the page I was visiting in the first place. When I (voluntarily) revisited hotest-tgp-pics.com, I got a similiar advertisement from [http://www.errorsafe.com ErrorSafe], which was just as misleading and annoying as SystemDoctor's. A third visit led me to [http://www.errorprotector.com errorprotector.com], advertising (less obtrusively, though) a product similar to ErrorSafe and SystemDoctor.
| |
|
| |
| I propose that this advertisement be banned from BSWiki for the following reasons:
| |
| # It is misleading (it ''always'' says there are errors in your Registry, even if your Registry is fine or you don't even have one);
| |
| # It is obtrusive, as it overwrites the page I'm visiting. Compared to this, popups would be a service (at least they leave your current page intact);
| |
| # It may confuse unexperienced users, because their browser window seems to vanish and multiple clicks on the Back button are needed to go back to BSWiki.

| == Kara Thrace and Maelstrom Discussions ==
| |
|
| |
| Admins: I just put my virtual foot down in the Character Elimination subtopic in the Humanoid Cylon Speculation article, asking discussions to cease, because unnecessary and circular debate on Starbuck was going on. The talk was a perfect example of what we're [[BW:NOT|not a place to chat forever]]. I know that Wikipedia has had a similar problem with other popular pages there, like the various articles for the TV show "Heroes." I don't want our wiki to look like an ugly Windows operating system with more banners and warnings than content like what Wikipedia has become, so let's be on our toes throughout the week to keep talk page discussions relevant and brief, warning users on their talk pages if necessary. Hopefully I'm not being too brash, but understandably there are many fans who are unglued by "Maelstrom" and we have to keep the consistency and accuracy of the wiki as well as managing questions but limit talk page speculation. In a way it's a good thing; Starbuck and the show have become dear to our hearts. But "it's just a TV show: we should really just relax..."--[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 21:28, 7 March 2007 (CST)
| |
| : No problem. Thanks Kevin! -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 21:40, 7 March 2007 (CST)

| ::But... but... but... That's fine with me. If there were novel arguments being made, I would advocate continuing the discussion. As it stands, it seems to be one person attempting to argue against a crowd. This is NOT a democracy, so the sheer numbers shouldn't be the only deciding factor. A lone voice making an impassioned, logical argument CAN sway consensus. That being said, the consensus seems pretty clear in this matter, and unless new evidence comes to light or there are novel arguments to be made, we should just let that one drop for right now. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 07:43, 8 March 2007 (CST)
| |
| :::Yeah, I didn't want to just end the discussion because it was annoying, but because it become less a debate than what should be in the article based on its subject matter. Starbuck's resurrection (if it happens) isn't a real topic appropriate to that article, nor is the metaphysicals of other SF in comparison to BSG. It really got off a tangent from the article subject. If a similar discussion (if kept brief) happened on Thrace's character page, I'd be less likely to ask the discussion to end given the circumstances. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 10:17, 8 March 2007 (CST)

| ==403 Errors==
| |
| I have a note about this on the Crossroads Pt. 1 talk page 'cause that's where I was having the problem first, but it's been spreading, I keep running into pages where it tells me I'm forbidden to go there. I dunno what might be causing it :/ --[[User:BklynBruzer|BklynBruzer]] 12:46, 17 March 2007 (CDT)
| |
| :Ok this is getting frakking annoying. It's stopped happening on Crossroads Pt. 1 but now I can't look at the Main Page. --[[User:BklynBruzer|BklynBruzer]] 13:12, 17 March 2007 (CDT)
