I've started a poll on Talk:Stargate (device) about whether we should split the complexities section into a new article. Please let us know what you think. -- Tango 17:32, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Self-explanatory. It's in most other character infoboxes; we'd be able to include connections to other characters (if necessary). Lockesdonkey 16:33, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
I just wanted to point out that there is Stargate action on the french wp, almost as large as here. Look at their Stargate Portal. Also, I want to point out that Stargate device is a FA in Italian. Recently I have been annoyed by people saying this porject shouldn't exsit. I am just pointing this out as further evidence as to Stargate's notablity. Tobyk777 07:25, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
Total inclusionism just gets you ignored by most people on AfD. We need to argue that Stargate articles are notable, not that non-notable articles should be kept. We're not going to win the latter arguement, the former has a chance. -- Tango 22:12, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
I agree with a lot of the points, particularly that this project should specify some kind of guideline or policy for inclusion. In nearly all cases, I think the following would sort out all our problems:
-- Alfakim -- talk 07:26, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Earlier this month, there was a disussion here about how stargate infinity is a joke, and how even the most hardcore stargate fans (like me) have never even seen it. Because of this, I think we should remove it from the topics template, because it detracts attention from SG-1 and atlantis, which are far more important. Tobyk777 07:16, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
I've set up a better system for this, if any of you are interested. You can vote on the next project-featured article at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Stargate/Featured. -- Alfakim -- talk 08:15, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Okay, the website owner of Moon-catchin' has requested that we not link directly to their transcripts. However, we may still use their transcripts, and link to other parts of their site. So I was going to go through the episode articles and replace links to their transcripts w/ links to their sou nds. You can still use their transcripts to check facts, you'll just have to look around a bit. Anyways, I'll be working on this. Armedblowfish ( talk| mail| contribs) 03:11, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
de-indenting. The above is autowikibrowsable i'm fairly sure (no manual needed). should i go through with it and change all the transcripts to links to the front page? -- Alfakim -- talk 16:23, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Looking at the tech section on Ori (Stargate), it's way longer than it needs to be. Ori technology is linked to as the main article, yet the section on the main Ori page is almost as long as the ori tech article. There is simply too much junk in the section, some of which is OR. Almost everything in the section is redundant, and some things are just non-sense, (for example frequencies corespoding to colors). We need to do some major trimming and reworking of that section if not a total rewrite. Tobyk777 07:43, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I think that we should move List of technology in the Stargate universe to List of main technologies in the Stargate universe. I think the latter is a more acurate title since it no longer lists every technology and since we have subpages for each race. Tobyk777 20:41, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Point 9 states that only pages in the article namespace may use fair use images. You can see our internal debate at Portal talk:Stargate. I have this proposal to create an exception to Point 9 of the Fair Use policy for portals; I'm not asking for support; I'm asking for comment. Thanks. Lockesdonkey 21:54, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Well, that's quite the discussion it has generated. But, really, I don't understand by some people hate fair-use images so much in Wikipedia. -- Andromeda 14:30, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
I went through all of the subcategories of Category:Stargate and prepended all of the talk pages for the articles within them with the {{ stargateproject}} template. Barring any uncategorized articles, and providing I knew what I was doing over the last 263 edits), they should all be templated. Can I use "templated" as a word? — pd_THOR | =/\= | 01:42, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
If y'all want to upgrade the Wikipedia:Barnstar_and_award_proposals#Stargate_Barnstar from PUA to Wikiproject Award, please go support the idea. -- evrik 17:09, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
i just dont get this quote at all:
please someone explain the joke here. -- Alfakim -- talk 00:56, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Leonard McCoy in Star Trek was afraid of the transporter, which explains the first 2 lines. The last line isn't meant to make sense, but it's kind of comparing life on Atlantis to Star Trek. It's also slightly a joke at Teyla's expense, as she doesn't know about Star Trek, and Sheppard is just confusing her further. To summarise: It's funny because it doesn't make sense, so don't try and understand it. -- Tango 01:12, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
{{ TVep}} is currently in use for all episode articles. There is a proposed complete rewrite of the template at Template:TVep/2. Please see the points for why this might be good or bad, and suggest whether this should go through. P.S. the template ultimately gives exactly the same output, but with more customisability. -- Alfakim -- talk 01:13, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi, on our FL, List of Stargate SG-1 episodes's talk page, members of the List of TV episodes project have discussed how the list has been a huge sucess for both project, since it falls into both project's catagories. I then proposed that the two projects work togther and corodiate to co-produce a second FL with List of Stargate Atlantis episodes. I think that if the two projects work toghther, we can quickly and easily make another FL. I made the proposal on their projects page as well as on the our current FL's talk page. Please keep the thread in one place by responding to this comment at Talk:List of Stargate SG-1 episodes#Looking for more participants for WikiProject List of Television Episodes. Thanks Tobyk777 08:15, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
I was just turing the cites on our timeline into inline citations, but when I saved the page it cam out really screwed up and I don't know what I did wrong. Someone please take a look. Tobyk777 08:49, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
I moved the page from Kelowna (Stargate SG-1) to Langara (Stargate SG-1), because Langara is the planet, Kelowna is a country. I don't really know where to begin modifying the Kelowna page into Langara, so can someone please do this? Biscuit Knight 09:28, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
Which one should we use? It would make sense if it was American seeing as the show is American. Just curious. American Patriot 1776 00:15, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
In order to resolve the long standing debate over fair use of screenshots on List of Lost episodes, I am now trying to resolve the issue under the belief that the issue is an opinionated matter and not a matter of policy. Talk:List of Lost episodes#Fair use criteria number 8. I ask that people share their comments, but please try to keep the conversation in this section focused.
One thing that works against us is that the conversation tries to defend too many points at once. Try not to respond to comments about other aspects of the debate, and just take this one step at a time. Basically, respond if you think this is an opinionated matter regarding policy point 8 of WP:FUC or not.
I believe if we can break through on the issue of point 8, the rest will fall into place. -- Ned Scott 08:13, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello! We at the Work via WikiProjects team previously contacted you to identify the quality articles in your WikiProject, and now we need a few more favors. We would like you to identify the " key articles" from your project that should be included in offline releases of Wikipedia based on their importance, regardless of quality. So far we have a list of 11 articles, but are there any important topics not listed that we should know about? We will use that information to assess which articles should be nominated for Version 1.0 (not yet open) and later versions. Hopefully it will help you identify which articles are the most important for the project to work on. As well, please keep updating your Arts WikiProject article table for articles of high quality (B or higher). If you are interested in developing a worklist such as this one for your WikiProject, or having a bot generate a worklist automatically for you, please contact us. Please feel free to post your suggestions right here. Thanks! Walkerma 01:19, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
I've been asked to clarify things, regarding the importance/quality issue. Our original posting to you stressed quality, but in your reply you included some discussion of importance as well. In this recent posting I simply wanted to check that things are complete and up-to-date, and to see if you wanted to use the bot. I have tried to interpret the information we already have as best I can, and I've put the information into this table. Please can you check that I have your priorities correct, and fix anything that's wrong? That should answer the question I posed above quite adequately, and I apologise for any confusion. Walkerma 06:47, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
I haven't evaluated them based on whether they should have articles. Just recorded the ones that have links to them, but no articles OR actors who are listed in a character template. I also did NOT list directors/writers in the list. If there's already a list like this somewhere (or a place for this list) that I missed, feel free to move this stuff there. -- Tim4christ17 01:48, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
One of the articles i have created has been tagged with the logo for your group, however i did not create the article with any intentions of stargate. Are you taking the recognition? I dont have much information of Prout as the IMDB only supplies limited information any other infortmation known about this actress could be added to her page . ( Neostinker 17:05, 30 June 2006 (UTC))
Seen as you guys know me on Wikipedia better than any others, I'd really appreciate any comments on my RfA, just to add to the discussion if nothing else :). -- Alfakim-- talk 22:25, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
Topics that wander into "point of view", fandom, or just too much detail for an encyclopedia may be more appropriate on the Stargate Wikia and Stargate Wikia (Spanish). The Wikis complement each other. The Wikia has many references to Wikipedia articles, and Wikipedians would be welcome contributors to the Wikia. (Please keep in mind that although the sites are similar, there are content and stylistic differences.) -- CocoaZen 05:06, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
Seems some editors from the WikiProject Computer and video games want to remove the spoiler template and usage all together. Stargate articles show some excellent uses of the spoiler tag, and I thought you guys might want to add your input. See Wikipedia talk:Spoiler warning. -- Ned Scott 21:03, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm not a member of this project, but am a fan of 'Gate, so I decided to help out a bit and attempt to cleanup this article. I also added a brief filmography as well. -- Electricbolt 02:17, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
