Bisexual vs. bi-sexual
You do have hetero- and homosexual preferences elsewhere, though. That's also the correct syntax in Dutch (dunno, about English). --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 15:56, 4 December 2007 (CST)
- In the first sentence, "hetero-", "homo-" and "bi-" are all prefixes to the word "sexual", and thus should be written in that matter, since the hyphen is a "suspended hyphen". -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New 16:19, 4 December 2007 (CST)
- From my reading, the suspended hyphens rule only applies to words that would have the hyphen when used by themselves as well:
post-warhas a hyphen regardless of whether it's combined aspre- and post-war. The same is true forthirty-year mortgagesand all other examples given at the link.Bisexual,homosexualandheterosexualare not hyphenated, though, so that's why I think it should behetero-, homo- and bisexual. --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 12:32, 5 December 2007 (CST)

Now, technically, the hyphen should be consistent throughout, but I didn't have time to copyedit this since the wiki's been running slow and I didn't care to lose my work. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New 16:19, 4 December 2007 (CST)
POV real template breakage
The "Real point of view" message is positioned underneath the first sentence in my browser (Firefox 2). --Catrope(Talk to me or e-mail me) 15:56, 4 December 2007 (CST)
- The template has been broken for a good while now. It's also showing at the place where it's added in the article, instead of a fixed position regardless of its place in the code (at least the last time I checked). I brought it up on its talk page once, but was told that it wasn't completed yet...which can't be entirely right. --Serenity 16:23, 4 December 2007 (CST)
- Try a hard refresh. It should be to the right of the title header now. ;-) -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New 16:42, 4 December 2007 (CST)
Redirects
Maybe we should redirect "queer", etc, here and spoil Toton's next paper. --Steelviper 13:10, 22 December 2007 (CST)
- Well, we have "queer" redirecting to the general Sexuality disambiguation, which is enough. People can figure out the rest from there. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New 13:14, 22 December 2007 (CST)
- You could redirect it to Felix Gaeta for laughs ;) --Serenity 14:25, 22 December 2007 (CST)
- Or let's not. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New 14:39, 22 December 2007 (CST)
Threesome picture
If we could have a picture of the threesome aboard the Pornostar Baltaria, that would round out the article in terms of pictures. :) -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 11:54, 4 February 2008 (CST)
- I could take a screenshot, but it would be from a low quality AVI rip. No one here seems to have the R2 DVDs. Does anyone have the episodes on iTunes perhaps? There are two promotional pictures. This one only shows two however, and this one was cut.
- Also, if you watch the scene again, there isn't actually a shot showing all three of them in bed. It's mostly Three standing up and looking down at Baltar and Six. -- Serenity 12:12, 4 February 2008 (CST)
- Ah, I was under the impression that there was. (It has been a while since I've watched any S3 episodes, so I'm working from memory.) I figure a shot of her looking over them in bed would work... -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 13:16, 4 February 2008 (CST)
- Oh wait. I was looking at "The Passage" :/ Duh! But it's seen for the first time in "Hero". Sorry. I can get a pic from that. -- Serenity 14:01, 4 February 2008 (CST)

Small note about the picture placement. It's not that important here, because there is only one picture, but I deliberately placed it above the header since that cuts down drastically on the empty space when using div clears. Otherwise, the pictures are just displayed too far down. I found that works very well on CIC and Computers in the Re-imagined Series. The pictures still clearly belong to their respective sections. It messes up section editing somewhat, but I feel that that is outweighed by the better looks. -- Serenity 14:40, 4 February 2008 (CST)
- Ah, thanks for explaining that. :) I'm not too particularly concerned about it either, but I felt it looked better after the section header myself. If someone wants to change it back, that's fine. You'll have no objections from me. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 14:47, 4 February 2008 (CST)
- Nah, it's ok here. For me, it only becomes annoying when you have many pictures after another together with smaller sections of text. Though that might also have to do with using a widescreen monitor. It might actually look better in lower resolutions, since the text would be longer. Plus, here the next section is "notes", so some whitespace before it makes sense. -- Serenity 14:53, 4 February 2008 (CST)
