Hi, first you have to excuse my poor english but iam a spanish native speaker. I tried to contact with shane in BSW España, but i recieved no answer. I have some questions about that wiki. --[[User:Baltar Gaiolas|Baltar Gaiolas]] 21:03, 15 February 2007 (CST)

::::Actually, it ''does'' load into a frame; there was an option that was recently added to the domain registrar's control panel. It just wasn't obvious to me. Anyway, .com now redirects to .org, and I've removed the frame option from the .net forward (same with the .com). Should work in less than an hour. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 15:09, 21 February 2007 (CST)

== Signature Problem ==
 
Hey Joe, I was having a little truble with my signature.  When I use the signature timestamp my sn is comingout ZareCk Rocks, even though my sn is Zarek Rocks.  Just a minor problem but I wanted to see if you had any advice.  Thanks!--Zareck Rocks 23:40, 12 March 2007 (CDT)
: Go to [[Special:Preferences|Preferences]]. Click on "User Profile" and then find the field titled "nickname". There you should probably see the issue. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 05:10, 13 March 2007 (CDT)
 
== Gmail ==
Check your gmail for a couple of responses regarding the B5 thing. They're interested in having a conversation. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 15:49, 17 April 2007 (CDT)
: I saw that. I'll reply after I get some grub. Looks promising, though. ;-) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 16:11, 17 April 2007 (CDT)
 
== Verb Tense? ==
 
I just saw that an admin changed the verb tense on the edits I made to the [[Military Ranks (RDM)]] page to the passive, past tense, voice although the wiki policy states that we are to write in the active, present tense, voice.
 
When exactly is it appropriate to use the differing verb tense?
--[[User:Tungsten|Tungsten]] 12:55, 23 April 2007 (CDT)
 
: The content is more "real world" and so falls under a different set of guidelines, see: [[Battlestar Wiki:Real Point of View]]. Of course, to ask exactly why the edit occurred, [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] would be willing and able to answer any of your questions regarding his edit. :-) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 13:01, 23 April 2007 (CDT)
 
:I didn't change the tense. It's still present. To be honest, I can't really remember why I changed the voice. It wasn't really wrong per se. In fact, I think I'll change it back. It looks better the way it was :s --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 13:17, 23 April 2007 (CDT)
 
:O sorry about that. I actually thought I asked [[User:Serenity|Serenity]]. Must have had to many tabs open and hit the wrong one :). Thanks for the feedback. I'm pretty new to this whole wiki contributions thing and just wanted to make sure I got the rules down so I don't make a mess of things :). Thank you both. --[[User:Tungsten|Tungsten]] 02:12, 24 April 2007 (CDT)
::Well as said, you didn't do anything wrong. I think I thought it looked better the other way. Just a style thing. But I reverted my edit after thinking about it some more. While we appreciate that you check the rules beforehand, don't worry about messing up. If you break some style convention 1 or 2 times, an admin will usually tell you on your user page, and correct it. But it's no big thing. Just saves us work mopping after other people if they know the stuff.  --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 04:41, 24 April 2007 (CDT)
 
== Acceptable Ad? ==
 
[http://www.lavaplace.com/?page=register&ref=1_44_2812275&kwrd=Russian%20Brides This one] appeared under "Russian Brides" that took me by surprise. Not obscene, just damn peculiar for us. -- [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 21:30, 27 April 2007 (CDT) <sup>([[User_Talk:Spencerian|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Spencerian|Contrib Skillz]] - [[Special:Editcount/Spencerian|Edit Skillz]])</sup>

== Rename? ==
 
Yo <code>:-)</code>! I was wondering, is it possible to get renamed to [[User:Matthew]] ([http://en.battlestarwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&user=Matthew which isn't registered]). My Wikipedia username is Matthew and I'd like to "unify" as best as I can. If it's not possible to get renamed then don't worry about it <code>;-)</code>.

:All set. :-) [[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 16:04, 5 May 2007 (CDT)
