You know you're a Stargate fan when...
Here's one may put down on the list; when someone says "starga.." in "stargazing", you assume "Stargate". That's what I thought when I saw Doctor Who's "Tooth and Claw" last night, which had "stargazing" mentioned a few times. -- Matthew R Dunn (talk) (Contribs) 17:19, February 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Heh... I guess that's happened a few times too. :) Reminds me... I should start watching Dr. Who again. I still have one David Tennant episode to go. —Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 01:16, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

Canon's Ring
Jaymach Keeps on saying that the Goa'uld healing ring used by Vala in the episode Prometheus Unbound has the same ablitys as the ring used by Canon in the episode Demons, despite having been shown to do different things. He keeps changing any edits to the Canon's ring & Goa'uld healing device article's as well as deleting the healing ring page, saying that it's like the Kara kesh and can do multiple things dispite no evidence of this unlike the Kara kesh. Can you help? Awar 14:35, February 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * please read his talk page for a better idea of the problem between us. Awar 14:45, February 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not trying to pick sides (kind of), but I will say that (as the technologies are both of Goa'uld origin) it is plausible that they are the same device. Maybe Val's ring was a newer model or maybe it was modified. There could be more than one function to it and it might be easily programmable.


 * On a related note... it seems much more implausible that (with the Serrakin pistol) a completely different race of aliens in a completely different galaxy in a completely different reality could come into possession of the exact same weapon. It seems like one would have to "assume" to a much greater degree that they're the same weapons than not. My point is (well, one of them anyway :), that the canon's ring issue is far more plausible than this (in my opinion), and it wouldn't be that far of a stretch to label them as the same device given the similarities of origin they share. —Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 18:36, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

I agree that they might do both jobs, but my point is that it is never shown or mentioned to do so unlike the Kara kesh.
 * Also about the Serrakin pistol, Wraith spear gun & even the Canon's ring are just prop reuse's to reduce the cost of the show. The effect of the Bedrosian rifle was later used for the Wraith weapons & even the Ori stun weapon, just recoloured
 * On a side note what is the chances of every civilation in history inventing the Bow & Arrow a complex weapon?

signature
so i was wondering about this and i decided to ask you because youre an admin, how exactly do you change your signature? thanks —Asdf1239 (talk) (Contribs) 12:29, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * The easiest thing probably would be to follow the discussion about that here. Just follow User:Ka'lel's example and, if you have any other questions, feel free to ask me. —Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 01:32, February 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * By the way: means the same thing as Template:User:Ka'lel/sig... just in case that confused you at some point.
 * hey thanks it works — 02:02, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

304 Name
Why don't you come up with some names of more 304's like the Agrian or something like that.

userboxes
hi is there a category or list of premade userbox templates here? thanks — 02:13, March 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * No... mainly because there are very few userboxes in use here on userpages... and because there aren't templates as people just place the actual userbox text on their userpage. —Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 05:41, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

useless pages
ive noticed there are a bunch of useless pages on here

example: http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Frootees

is this really nessecary or are people just trying to get a higher number on their profiles.

Really?
 * Well, I created that page and frankly could care less about my edit number. As an encyclopedia for everything Stargate, naturally we include all sorts of articles here, including ones that may lack a large amount of content. Frootees are unique to the show and the Stargate universe and are, therefore, documented on this site. I would hardly say that articles such as the Frootees one are useless... they're just stubs... and are just as important as other articles here. While we do discourage articles that have little value, usefulness isn't necessarily based on size. —Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 04:52, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Generally, if I can find a quote, image, and brief description, and or external link, that's usually enough to constitute an article... albeit a small one.

still, an article which is one or two lines is USELESS, you could jsut as easily refernece it in another article where it comes up (eg. that Frootees one could be mentioned in the Continuum page under references or notes.


 * if we went by that policy we wouldn't have articles on Robert Grosseteste, MP3 player, or PlayStation, they bear significance to the story (no matter how much) and are therefore notable 05:44, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

...and that is why the wiki is circling the drain and is mocked pretty much everywhere....
 * Oh come on.... it's not nearly that bad. You go to any other and you'd find that they have terrible standards: lacking in proper category chains, having grammar errors left and right, having a complete disregard for in-universe perspective and neutral point of view. I mean, your criticizing us for having essentially too many articles. Is it really that bad of a "problem"? We only have a goal to keep people informed in the best way possible. While I would prefer to have only long and detailed articles, smaller, "stub" articles still accomplish the same goal. It's not like having small articles brings into question our credibility or causes anyone pain in any sort of way... —Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 07:59, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

no what im criticising is that you have pointless articles for something seen ONCE. and then reason the wiki is mocked is because you include books etc as canon, despite the fact that most people dont take them as canon. (and yea i know MGM or someone said they are canon, but no one really cares).

essentially all those articles do is take people to a page where they find information they would be able to find out in two words. and when i come on here and see that one person has added 5 new artilces on stupid little facts that they coudl write in 10 seconds. it really looks like they just want people to think they are big shots with large edit numbers.

argue all you want, they are pointless articles


 * Also, lets not forget to take note of the uselessness of this. So, we have about 15 or so "useless" articles out of over 5,000. Personally, it feels as though something as minor as that really isn't a massive problem that would make the entire fan-base of the show look at this site with utter disgust. And yea, we count books as cannon... but that's because they are declared as such. I respect your decision, and naturally, as a remedy to the situation, you can simply choose not to look at those articles if you find them distasteful. I don't mean to be rude, but naturally... there is likely not 1 thing in existence that everyone likes with unyielding love. —Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 08:15, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * if arugula isn't worthy of an article because it was mentioned only, shouldn't we delete a bunch of other ones as well such as Blades of Glory, Scotland, Winston Churchill, volkswagen?! theres plenty others in fact theres whole categories of mentioned-only characters..plus it would sound awkward to explain what an arugula is on the pages that mention it. 01:21, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ugh... I hate establishing precedents ;) . Well, some articles like Scotland were mentioned in more than one episode... which works toward their overall relevance. Articles like arugula were only mentioned briefly once and were never actually shown on the show (not that Scotland was shown per say). It would be crazy to try to get rid of all these so-called "useless" articles. The main reason I deleted Arugula was because it was only mentioned in comparison to another plant... and so info about arugula was therefore much better suited for that specific alien plant... in order to better describe it. Articles like Scotland and Blades of Glory more stand on their own... —Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 01:33, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * well, articles like the one on volkswagen are around the same notability level as arugula and thus should be deleted also going by that policy and linked to wikipedia. 01:35, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree. It seems like that was probably created for humor... Volkswagens being where clowns are spilling out of... HA! If you want, you can compile a list of articles you think are worthless and I'll look over them. —Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 01:38, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Something else though. If a specific topic was mentioned in a scene that was dedicated to that topic (such as how Jeopardy! was)... we should keep that article. Or, if said topic was mentioned several times throughout an episode or series. Only articles about things that are merely mentioned and in almost no way affect the flow of the show should be deleted... mainly. —Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 01:43, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

Stargate Universe Deleted Scenes
Are we going to include the deleted scenes from the extended version of the pilot episodes? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVRIPUCmR2s and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fEgtnotCQ4&feature=related Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 18:19, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * We already have incorporated them into the articles. —Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 00:52, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

it took me a while to figure out the editing interface, How do you make the lines apear closer together, i dont know what i did.

when i hit enter for the next line there is always a gap in between
 * Press "Enter" less then... try to only leave 1 gap between lines. The more you press enter, the more lines that are created. —Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 04:10, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Destiny's size
Hi... I have this BIG Comparison chart picture that has the sizes of most of the ships from known scifi shows and it had the aurora and the destiny on it...

here is the link |http://www.st-minutiae.com/misc/comparison i was just wanted to ask if i can put that size on this wikia...

i am going to put it, but just erase it and tell me if you think its not suppose to be there or something—Tau&#39;ri 21300 (talk) (Contribs) 11:33, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * we can't use unofficial fan measurements. also that site says that a hive isn't as long as an aurora which is kind of ridiculous 12:13, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

Image Policy
Im a new user here and I'd like to contribute at best but there are some issues I'd like to "hear" directly from admins than read in TOU.

I'd like to be briefed about the Image Policy...that means, there are some actor and characters wich do not have a picture of them and problably they exist and I'd like to be able to put them there without desrepectig privacy or any rights. Do I have to ask anyone or it's safe to upload the images?

I've read some links about SGCommand: Copyrights and the Image Copyright but I'd like to hear how you admin do.

Other question: There's any other way wich I can contact you directly for questions instead of the talk service?

Cheers. Sorry to bother ;D -Lateral (talk) (Contribs) 21:45, May 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Feel free to upload any image from any episode of Stargate. As for outside images for actors, they should be public domain. If you have any more questions, feel free to contact me here... and welcome to Stargate Wiki! —Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 22:16, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism
Is there any template or how to sign comment in summary as "reverting vandalism" Vilnisr (talk) (Contribs) 13:45, May 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * and is there a "Violation list" on Stargate wiki like on wowwiki [] - 16:11, May 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * You can just type "reverting vandalism" in the summary section... and there isn't a "violation list". If there is a problem user, just tell an administrator about it. —Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 17:53, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

magazine covers
do you know where i can find decent sized 'Stargate Official Magazine' covers? im lookin for images that could be 250px Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 18:32, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Leaked episodes
Is it ok to post the plot for the leaked episodes, or do you have to wait for the official airing? —Supakillaii (talk) (Contribs) 20:40, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * That would be fine. WOOT! Gateworld ain't got nothing on THIS!!!!! lol —Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 01:27, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * If I had the patience to try to hear the faded English audio over the main dub track I'd do the rest. As it is I can only gleam a rough summary from the bits of dialogue that come through. — Trust not the Penguin (T | C) 01:53, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * you wrote all that from listening to leftover audio on a dubbed version thats impressive 04:10, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * ... It looks like "this user actually wrote it. Still though... —Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 04:14, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * You beat me to it. Yeah, it wasn't me who wrote the "Pain" summary. Mine would have missed a few details, though the gist of it was pretty clear. Not so much for 18-20. I can tell there's a lot of little things in the dialogue that I'm missing. — Trust not the Penguin (T | C) 04:16, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, we should not expand articles including info from yet to be aired in US episodes. Just because someone would be pleased to run into spoilers of 4 episodes ahead --Глючарина (talk) (Contribs) 12:04, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

image
it is from quarantine, forgot to catergorise it, but its fixed now

Re: The official Magazine
no problem.... ill do that in a minute :)
 * Well I already took care of it... just when you upload them in the future... —Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 18:54, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

magazine template
as ye know, im just addin some images to the magazine section. do you think a template would be a good idea, so you could move between issues more easily? similar to this one.... Template:Universe-1. Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 20:27, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Um, it's not necessarily a bad idea... it's just that we'd have to add it to 90 articles... and the magazine pages are relatively low-traffic so I'm not sure if it would be an entirely necessary/fruitful effort. Easy navigation can aready be achieved through the Category page... —Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 20:36, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

fair enough... i just wanted to bounce da idea off someone :) Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 20:43, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for adding those images by the way... —Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 20:46, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

no probs... it has been annoyin me for a while Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 21:05, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

confussed???
in the Official Magazine catagory [] why is issue 32 showing up as The Official Magazine 32 instead of Stargate SG-1/Atlantis/SG:U: The Official Magazine 32?

issue 35
i was just thinking that also. But the image came from a decent webpage..... http://decomicshop.nl/stargate-magazine-p-24055.html Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 22:47, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

months throughout the wikia
iv noticed nearly all da episodes, magazines and novel pages have the month highlighted in red (no link). Is the reason we have the month as a future possible link? i just dont see the purpose? Also my friend screwed around with da format of the magazine pages the other day, when they were suppose to be helpin me out. i think they've all been fixed now, but i appologise for any screw ups.

i like the new logo also... more eye catching.... who designed it? Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 19:40, May 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Enigmaxs designed the new logo. I don't know why we have month redlink articles, even worse are specific dates like January 12. They seem unnecessary to me, but for some reason they are kept. - 22:52, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

image catagory
im going to catagories the images iv uploaded over the last couple of days, which include official magazine and short story pics. speakin of official magazine, iv just got me hands on the Official Stargate Movie Magazine (1994)... after 12 months of searching my stargate magazine collection is now complete :) Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 22:07, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Ive noticed the user colonelsam has been making a lot of edits that include speculative information based on no fact and a lot of basic grammar mistakes and apparently he/she has been told in the past to stop this.--Escyos (talk) (Contribs) 12:44, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

oh and colonelsam has also created these pages which need removing as they are entirely made up and as such do not belong here: --Escyos (talk) (Contribs) 13:04, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

 * We'll let him keep them... they're only fanfiction subpages of his userpage and we agreed long ago that he could keep a few after he had originally created like 30. —Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 18:14, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

communications stones and time travel
its a bit random but i wz wonderin last night... if they'll do a time travel/alternative reality episode using the 'ancient communication stones'? it could make for an interestin story if done in the right way?... for example, communicating with da ancients dat built the ship in thre past... finding out some secret about the ship or somethin Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 10:46, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just curious, how could they use the Comm Stones to travel in time/dimensions? —Supakillaii (talk) (Contribs) 11:56, May 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * i dont know, its stargate... they could make an elephant hang on piece of sewing cotton if they wanted Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 16:23, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Apparently, they still need to communicate, so unless there is stable time portal they won't --Глючарина (talk) (Contribs) 16:46, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
