thread_title: Wrote up the episode

message: This article needs to be split into two pages, each episode needs its own dedicated page. --Basique 23:25, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Why would it? Two part episode, same title, nice page, cant see the benefit of spliting it. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 23:32, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two pages 

message: The trivia section erroneously claims that the starboard launch bay is used in this episode. Very close examination of the CGI shot only shows the top of a launch bay and part of the ribbed hull. It is impossible to tell if it is the starboard or port launch bay in use. However, the fact that Tyrol sends civilians returning to Galactica to the starboard bay as a temporary refuge heavily indicates that the starboard launch bay remains inoperative. However, it is possible that the starboard launch bay (underneath the actual hanger deck itself) is operational whilst the deck is now serving as a refugee shelter. Furthermore, the episode Collaborators sees a launch bay used as an interrogation and execution chamber. It is possible that this is one of the starboard bays, since the port bays would be full of people and machinery and the bay in this episode appears unused. Given the fact that Galactica is now holding all of Pegasus' vipers and raptors as well as her own, it seems unlikely that they can continue using just the one hanger deck efficiently.--Werthead 21:46, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

message: This is a neologism with no credible sources. I'd strongly advocate its removal. Chris Cunningham 09:32, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've rollbacked the edit again, fanism has no place on Wikipedia. I concur with your above statement as well. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 09:51, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

text: and? Forums are not citable and also are not good enough for a cite for this article, furthering it is a fannish term. Provide a reliable source and get a consensus to add it.. the addition of it is disputed (by two people) and hence you will require a consensus for its addition. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 14:28, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

text: TV.com is not verifiable as it is user submitted, the 2nd is some non-notable blog, the 3rd is another blog by "unnamed (and likely non-notable at best..)" - Trivia sections are bad enough at present (WP:AVTRIV). thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 14:52, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Proof enough for me; it'd be nice to have something external to the show linked into a BSG article for once. If you feel like rewriting the inclusion in a more objective style I'd support its inclusion. Chris Cunningham 14:43, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

text: I spell everything the American way however Wikipedia isn't supposed to belong to any one country. But, for the sake of argument the new BSG is filmed in Canada/England and both countries spell the British way - In fact, most of the actors are British and the miniseries premiered first on British television before airing on SciFi. What I don't unserstand is why people use the stupid "& mdash ;" tag when you have a perfectly good M-dash — button under INSERT below. Anyway, I don't see why it should be mentioned because I really don't see how Adama's atmospheric drop to launch Vipers and Picard's using warp to make two Stargazers to fool the Ferengi are remotely the same. Besides, it's all a matter of personal opinion and personal opinions violate Neutral Point of View rules. Cyberia23 05:44, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Re the spelling: I might have to spell it the US way in the article itself, but I certainly don't have to lower mysefl to that level for talk ;) Chris Cunningham 13:18, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

text: This doesn't answer the question: If enough fans really do call it the "Adama Maneuver" (regardless of how you spell it), should it be mentioned under Trivia? —  Loadmaster 16:28, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

text:  No — Wikipedia isn't fan-o-pedia; if you wish to add something like that to a Wiki then BattlestarWiki is probably your best option. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 16:30, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

text:  So the distinction is that the "Picard Maneuver" was actually mentioned in the show so it deserves mention in an article, while the "Adama maneuver" is only a fan-created term and does not belong in an article. That's reasonable. — Loadmaster 18:36, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
