Talk:Bastille Day (Battlestar Galactica)

message: The info about bastille day being a rush song is pointless, and belongs in a general article about bastille day, not this one.  Bastille day has been referenced in hundreds of pop culture items, and it has no relevance to the episode.

thread_title: Trivia

message: Hey.  As a big fan of the show, I've decided to review the article.
Infobox-
*If it could be found, a fair use image of a portion of the episode I feel would greatly improve the article.  
Lead-
*The lead needs to be expanded a bit.  Information on what time and channels it premiered on, both in the US and internationally, should be added.
*The first sentence of the second paragraph of the lead seems awkward.  I'd place this paragraph after the paragraph with premiere dates and such, and began it with something pertaining directly to the events of the show, such as months spent in space, then survivors left, and possibly something else. 
*The end of the paragraph contains one large sentence.  I'd split it into 2 or 3 separate sentences.
*Adama and Roslin should be linked
Plot
*Six, Cylon, and Boomer have already been linked in the intro, they need to be de-linked.
*Last sentence of the first paragraph, "....efforts of infiltrating human society."  Sounds a bit weird here.
Production
*Sci-Fi needs a link.
*D'Anna has already been linked once.
Reception
*Hera's already been linked once.
*All of the reviews given here are positive, are there any negative ones that could be added?
*The award nomination needs to be clarified for what society is presenting the award.
External Links
*It's usually customary to link an episode page to the page for the episode at imdb.com.
Other than these things, it looks good.  Mastrchf91 (t/c) 23:35, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Done all but the image and the reception. With the reception, the episode is one of those that everybody likes - you normally get that with award-nominated episodes, so it's difficult to find negative reviews.

Talk:Some Buried Caesar

message: WFinch, thank you for clarifying "ethology." It helps considerably to know that the first edition of SBC also gives that word, spelled thus.  Clearly that rules out the possibility of an erratum, at least in the Bantam edition.
So I was spurred to look further into the definition – and here it becomes clear how seductive are the convenience of links to other Wikipedia articles and what we tend to assume to be their comprehensive nature. Wikipedia's Ethology article stresses the "study of animal behavior" definition. A passing mention of J.S. Mill's 19th century suggestion seems not only cavalier but misleading, as per this:
The New Shorter OED also gives: ". . . an exposition of or treatise on manners. rare. M-L17. 2. The science of character formation. M19." As the definition's third item, the SOED mentions the "branch of science that deals with animal behaviour, esp. in the wild. L19." (The SOED uses abbreviations such as M-L17 to date the first known usage; in that case, to mean "Middle-Late 17th century.")
I think that may solve what I regarded as a puzzle. I stand by my (now excised; thank you) statement that "ethology barely makes sense in the context" insofar as the animal behavior definition is concerned. But given the definitions "treatise on manners" and "character formation" it seems clear that Stout was referring to one or the other of them, or perhaps both, as a chaos. (And is it just me, or does the use of the indefinite article before "chaos" sound odd to 21st century ears?)
So it seems safe to conclude that in this case Stout was not only employing an unfamiliar word, but also inviting inquiry into 17th through 19th century usages. I give myself one of Archie's supply of black marks for not having looked into it further before assuming an erratum. 
And thanks again for your FE research; without it I would never have taken the minor trouble of looking it up in an apodictical reference work. TurnerHodges (talk) 17:17, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: How interesting. I particularly like that "rare" — do I detect POV? Tsk.

thread_title: Editorial laziness

message: I took the liberty of adding the following to the section on the A&E adaptation:
"The adaptation is faithful to the novel save for a few changes in detail, such as Donald Barrett being renamed Duncan Barrett and Archie conscripting a bellboy at the Maidstone Building to provide his uniform for Carla Lovchen instead of phoning a nearby hotel and asking the house detective he knows there to send a bellboy over to make the switch with Carla. The script also contains a factual error: when Zorka is unmasked, Wolfe says she was born in "Ottumwa, Minnesota", instead of Ottumwa, Iowa, as in the novel."
That should do, at least for starters. (By the way, perhaps the screenwriter was thinking of Owatonna, Minnesota?)TH1980 (talk) 22:04, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

These guns do not work in the second controller port of my PlayStation 2 (obviously DualShock works fine) and only work in the first player controller port when I plug them into a DVD remote thing.

This is missing from the summary. And I don't remember Baltar talking to the Cylons about the details of his research. That's Gaeta's scene.

I started to place a "citation needed" tag on this, but decided to re-phrase instead. Any given Western government may or may not be obeying the Biological Weapons Convention.  The articles on the Convention and on bioweapons in general are both silent about unproven speculation of Convention violations, which (I believe) is exactly appropriate for Wikipedia.

replies: text: I have seen problems associated with relatively longterm storage at elevated temperatures where the product actually starts to cure and becomes difficult or even impossible to dispense. It appears to be time AND temperature, as we corrected our situation by reducing time in storage (via a better FIFO procedure) rather than reducing the temperature of the warehouse. While not exactly "..destroy silicone caulks ability to cure", the results are similar in that once it begins to cure, it cannot be reformed into another shape. This inability to be reformed is likely what is being referenced as an inability to cure. Hope this helps. Ken (talk) 14:49, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
