New Article: Emergency Jump Coordinates[edit]
Hey spenc, would you mind taking a look at the new Article? It´s my first one and I´m not very good at syntax yet. Looking forward to any kind of constructive criticism!
hey, thanks![edit]
thanks for the praise! my next idea was to write a little piece for the FTL article, about the way that jump coordinates are actually calculated. this would be based upon the miniseries and scattered. what do you think?
Jump calculation stuff would be purely speculative since this hasn't been explained in the show in terms of technology. While the Colonials obviously have a spatial coordinate system to use for FTL, we the viewers haven't a reference that makes sense to us. Nor has the technical workings of this been explained. Keep in mind that BSG's magic works by avoiding technobabble for two reasons: (1), it's not realistic, and (2) describing technology in too much detail forces future stories to conform to that writing or write something else, causing continuity issues (Star Trek is filled with these issues). I advise not writing such an article. Oh, be sure to sign your comments. To do this, place four tilde characters (that's this: ~~~~) at the end of your comment. You can indent by placing a colon at the start of the paragraph. --Spencerian 11:41, 1 June 2006 (CDT)- Never mind...read your additions. You kept it to a logical framework and to episode details. Nice addition. Keep working on your wiki formatting and you'll do fine. Thanks! --Spencerian 11:50, 1 June 2006 (CDT)
New and Improved[edit]
Warning System Here. --Shane (T - C - E) 21:53, 3 June 2006 (CDT)
- Thanks, Shane. I saw you working to make these warning tags yesterday. We should use them judiciously (that is, we should probably ask an admin to use them first), but it will help flag a user on what's going on without us causing misunderstandings. Thanks. --Spencerian 14:40, 4 June 2006 (CDT)
- I updated the template. Check out the usage on the way it works. --Shane (T - C - E) 18:16, 6 June 2006 (CDT)
Will do. --Spencerian 11:03, 7 June 2006 (CDT)Done. They work as advertised. Hopefully won't have to use them often. Thanks much, Shane! --Spencerian 11:10, 7 June 2006 (CDT)
- I updated the template. Check out the usage on the way it works. --Shane (T - C - E) 18:16, 6 June 2006 (CDT)
Per my tlak page, thi s is the policy I am pointing out on the Computer page: BW:SC#Links_to_Episodes --Shane (T - C - E) 15:16, 23 June 2006 (CDT)
- Thanks, Shane. You pointed out an issue I thought long resolved. I noted a proposed change to get this worked out for good on the SAC talk page. --Spencerian 16:03, 23 June 2006 (CDT)
