Battlestar
After some pretty extensive changes and references I am pretty hppy with the article now, could anyone suggest any changes that could possibly be made to imrpove it, I would like to get this article up to a GA. Thank you. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 19:18, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks like it's on its way. I would recommend expanding the introduction per to a good-sized paragraph or two as per WP:LEAD. Aside from that, the only hitch I forsee is that all the references are episodes of the show. It's not necessarily the end of the world, but it does make them difficult to check, for those who don't own them on DVD. I remember there being tons of novelizations back in the day, and there must be some magazine articles about the ships in back issues of Starlog and the like. Sources are a touchy subject at GA right now and a wider scope will most likely help to avoid any objections. Kafziel 20:22, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Well thats the problem, I've tried to keep to references of the show its self for cannonicty reasons etc, and the poblem with magazines etc is getting them if there from the 80s etc, and any web based sources i can find are primarily of a speculative nature and i want this article not to stray into the realm of speculation, thansk for your sugegstions . thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 20:58, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
 * That makes sense about the novelizations not being reliable; I hadn't thought about what BG's canon is made up of. Starlog's online archive doesn't have much. Still, I would imagine that Encyclopedia Galactica: From The Fleet Library Aboard The Battlestar Galactica or The Official Battlestar Galactica Scrapbook would qualify as canon, at least as far as the original series goes. There are partial blueprints of the ship out there, too (officially released, not fan-made stuff). Personally, I agree with you: I think that the best reference for an article on a fictional ship is the work of fiction in which the ship is featured. I don't know if everyone will think that way, though. Just a heads-up. Good luck! Kafziel 23:51, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've added soem offical blueprints for the RDM Battlestar, the problem is i just cant find any TOS blueprints, i'm going to do some more touchups to the article today and tonight and I think I will nominate it for FA. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 13:54, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
