Delete. This has nothing to do with Battlestar and Gossip should not be placed here. --Shane (C - E) 00:35, 19 March 2006 (CST)

Delete this article. It's a "flashlight" article, and further, there ARE no "rumors" that BSG is moving to NBC. ONE GUY speculated that on a messageboard, before i corrected him that A) It means less Black Market episodes, and B) they want to air it with the second season of Doctor Who. "What would you do differently as an Administrator?" --->I would have been able to delete this article immediately. Instead, we're now going to have to wait six-12 hours for one of the other Administrators to get around to doing it. --The Merovingian 00:43, 19 March 2006 (CST)

Rumors

Yes, this is a rumor article, and not technically an encyclopedia article. However, with Season 2 ending, this is an interesting article for fans to review and contemplate while we wait for Season 3. There have been significant rumors to the validity of this subject, and with the NBC schedule not set until this summer, this is a possibly true article.--Aboris26

No, it is not, for reasons I have cited above. There is no move to NBC; I was there, I am a driving force on the messageboards; we all concluded that one buffoon who doesn't even watch Scifi Channel regularly started this rumor and is spread like telephone-game to a news website. It has no basis in "fact" WHATSOEVER, and shall be removed ASAP. I am sorry, I do not want to land on you hard about this and this is your first time here, but this is a sensitive matter and the handling you have given it here is quite irresponsible. Please "lurk" around for a few days to get the flow of things around here and our Standards and Conventions. --The Merovingian 00:47, 19 March 2006 (CST)
I apologize for the nature of this post, and I now more fully understand both the source of the rumors and the nature of the Standards and Conventions. I will remove this article as soon as you reply to this response and place it in the 'blogosphere', an understandably more appropriate location for an article of this nature. I do understand that there are ZERO facts behind a possible move, however, its possibility has to be discussed by Battlestar Galactica fans. As you can see, I have attempted to improve the accuracy of serveral other articles. I have included possibilities of relsoultions to uncertain topics which may be consider speculation in the past, but I felt these were appropriate topics to be included in the articles. In the future I will attempt not advoid crossing the line between expansion of article and sepculation. Please see the new location of the article on this blog.--Aboris26
BattlestarWiki is not a blog, nor is it a messageboard. I do not understand what you mean by "blogosphere entry", etc. I am sorry, but you've actually made matters worse; there is no basis whatsoever for thinking BSG would move to NBC and it's utter speculation, and multiple press releases from SciFi Channel detailing why they did it contradict this view. You've actually made the matter worse (in my opinion as a fan, not a BSGwiki user) by posting it onto your Blog. --->Think about it; Shane and I said it was total speculation, and your response was to post it up on your blog, spreading a probably false rumor even further. Granted, this is your blog, and I would actually encourage you to say whatever you feel on the subject there, so long as it is not on BSGWiki; in fact, it's not really any of my business what you post on that blog; my point is that it was a not-so-great attempt at reconciliation. What other articles have you been working on?--The Merovingian 01:05, 19 March 2006 (CST)
I am sorry my response was unacceptable. I have removed the article from BSGwiki, and have since added an addendum to my blog noting it as complete and total speculation. I understand you disagree with the subject of the article, and that is completely your right. I understand that you have previously, and correctly, rebuked a previous rumor of this sort. However, I do wish for this discussion to be open to the BSG fan community. I have removed all incorrect references to any rumors from the article. I feel that I have fairly responded to the mistake of posting a speculation article to this wiki. I openly welcome your opinion of this subject and your discussion of my article as a senior member of this community. I do not think this is a proper forum for doing so, so either comment on my updated blog post, or direct me to a message board. I have corrected the Lee Adama article with an edit of his predicesor as XO of Pegasus being Jack Fisk. This is due to the fact that it was my understanding that neither Fisk, nor Garner (prior to Lee's apoitment) had a delcared XO, as the XO would take command on event of their deaths. Since no XO's were mentioned after Fisk, it is speculation that there was a XO under Fisk or Garner's commands.--Aboris26
