Welcome to the Wiki, Noneofyourbusiness. Feel free to tell us about yourself on your user page. Before you get started on other edits, please read the Battlestar Wiki:Standards and Conventions, which details the policies we use in editing pages (this differs from many other wikis in consistent use of phrasing, abbreviations, format, and the like).

Also, if you have any questions or suggestions you wish to offer, please feel free to do so either on your user talk page, the Wikipedian Quorum or Administrators' noticeboard. Remember to sign your posts on any talk pages using four tildes (~~~~)! --The Merovingian 00:54, 3 March 2006 (CST)

Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up! I didn't recognize the character name, so I was afraid there might be some Lay Down Your Burdens II spoiler stuff. As it turns out it's just a minor character. There IS a Sylverviper (or similar) on the scifi.com boards, but we're not related. I do have a Steelviper account there too, but all of 3-5 posts. --Steelviper 10:51, 9 March 2006 (CST)

Six's outfit

almost all my family work in the NYC Garment Industry, so I'm an unofficial "expert." I assume you moved the virtual Six to the Cylon-Related Hallucinations article?

Yes.--Noneofyourbusiness 14:51, 20 March 2006

Talk:Precipice

Merv posted a lengthy comment, which I replied to. He then thought better of it and deleted it, making my reply bizarre and nonsensical, so I restored it with <del> tags to indicate that he'd withdrawn the opinion. --Peter Farago 13:28, 22 April 2006 (CDT)

Cool. --The Merovingian (C - E) 14:09, 22 April 2006 (CDT)

A Favor

Noneofyourbusiness, I've asked a favor of you on User talk:The Merovingian. --Peter Farago 19:48, 22 April 2006 (CDT)

Minor?

Why do you mark almost all of your non-talk edits minor? Some of them include things like new paragraphs. --CalculatinAvatar 02:05, 30 April 2006 (CDT)

Well, one paragraph is minor, isn't it? Is that a bad thing?--Noneofyourbusiness 11:15, 30 April 2006 (EST)
It's pretty subjective, but according to Wikipedia, "any change that affects the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it involves one word." (According to Wikipedia:Minor edit). Minor edits are usually more intended for typos, spelling errors, etc, that don't change the meaning of an article and need not be reviewed. Some people trust that all minor edits are truly minor, and ignore them (even removing them from results on Recent Changes). Other people treat all edits as needing review. I tend to go with the latter, until I get the feel for how a particular user marks their edits. If their "minor" definition matches mine over time I start to ignore their minor edits (except for the occasional "audit" to make sure we're still on the same page). --Steelviper 11:18, 30 April 2006 (CDT)

English Style Usage

Hi, there. I noted you were correcting text in Cylon agent speculation. Please note that Joe Beaudoin has asked contributors to use American English formatting when editing. If you're British, of course, you can and should enter your initial contributions in the Queen's English. However, please do not re-edit correctly spelled American English entries to their British counterpart unless necessary. Thanks! --Spencerian 14:37, 1 June 2006 (CDT)
