Wikia Guided Tours: "Space Opera"
My name’s Matt and I’m a community development associate for Wikia. I’m in charge of a monthly feature called “Guided Tours” where I interview experts on a given topic, asking questions about how they got into their area of expertise and how they recommend others do the same. Our next feature is going to be Space Opera -- and Stargate definitely fits the bill!

If you could provide answers, as short or long as you see fit, to the questions below, your responses will be featured in the article. Check out the last Guided Tours article for an example.

Thanks!

1. Tell me a bit about yourself and your involvement with the Stargate wiki.

2. How did you get into Space Opera? Into Stargate?

3. How would you recommend a beginner get into Space Opera? Any particular books/movies/comics/TV shows/games/etc. that would serve as a good starting point?

4. Anything you wouldn’t recommend?

5. Any additional advice you’d give to someone new to Space Opera?

6. What resources on your wiki might be useful to an aspiring Space Opera fan?

Hey, sorry about the confusion on the Metamorphosis page. I was adding my signature as was suggested. I also joined the community and looked over some of the guidelines. Wiki procedures are still pretty new to me. I like what you've been doing here. I'm a huge SG-1 fan and this is the first place I search. Keep up the good work.

Rodney McKay photos from 48 Hours and Redemption Part 1 and 2
You can get rid of them if you wish. There's no point having them up on the site if they're not going to be used. User:SocialOutsider.
 * I actually wasn't able to find any unused rodney mckay images from those episodes. But, if you ever come across an image you think should be deleted, just place the template on it and I'll be able to find it super easy. Best Regards Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 01:01, February 27, 2014 (UTC)

Major Events tag
Just wanted if a "Major Events" tag is allowed. If not because it ruins the show and exposes spoilers, then it's alright. :) User:SocialOutsider.
 * We have a spoiler tag template here, but we don't actually use it anymore given that there haven't been any new episodes lately. And technically, everything is a spoiler if you're new to the show, so there's really no way to prevent against that scenario. Hope that answers your question! Sorry it took me a while, heh.

Unleashed
If I wanted to include information about what the members of SG-1 did/had done to them during Unleashed, would that be allowed? --Revan&#39;s Exile (talk) (Contribs) 19:47, January 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * That would be fine given that 'Unleashed' is considered officially licensed material. Just make sure that you site any additions you make appropriately by using the template, which is written as . Thanks! -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 22:33, January 27, 2014 (UTC)

automated welcome messages
You might want to limit your automated welcome messages to registered users, since most IP users 1) often change IPs from time to time, and 2) don't honestly give a shit enough to make more than 2-3 edits. Also, you really should consider archiving the older sections your talk page, since it it way too long to navigate. 70.188.146.179 @ 16:50, February 24, 2014 (UTC)

A question of approach/policy
I'm curious how much you feel any one user should amend a single page, since SocialOutsider has made 42 of the last 50 changes to Meredith Rodney McKay, all in the last four months. 20:13, March 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hey Jiskran. As long as all the edits seem to be productive, users can edit pages as much as they'd like. I checked out SocialOutsider's edits and they all appeared to be legitimate. I don't really have a limit as to how many is too much, because usually the more edits the better. And in a lot of instances, (and especially for longer articles) users will edit only a few sections of a page at a time and then go back multiple times to edit other sections. The Rondey Mckay article is the third longest on this site, so a large number of edits makes sense. Cheers! &mdash; Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 07:47, March 16, 2014 (UTC)

Request Page removal
I have made a consoladated F-302 page. Could you remove the old F-302 page as well as the X-302 page they are just redirects now. Also, I created a blank F-302 Multi-Role Fighter-Interceptor page by mistake. Could you remove that as well?

TauriEngineer (talk) (Contribs) 15:49, March 29, 2014 (UTC) TauriEngineer
 * Actually, both the X-302 article and the F-302 article serve a purpose. The X-302 is the experimental version of the craft, whereas the F-302 is the final production model of the craft. The same is true for our articles BC-303 and X-303. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 17:13, March 29, 2014 (UTC)

I understand this, I consolidated both the experimental history and production history onto one page. Having two pages, for what is essentially the same vehicle is redundant and unneccessary. I hope you will look at the page and leave my addition

Thank you for your consideration.

This would be like having a Colonel Oniell page plus a General Oniell page and so on.

The F-302 Multi-Role Fighter-Interceptor page is the same as the F-302 fighter-interceptor page. The F-302 Multi-Role Fighter-Interceptor page should be deleted.--TyphussJediVader (talk) (Contribs) 17:51, March 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * There was actually quite a lot of discussion when these articles were first made a few years ago regarding this. It was, however, ultimately decided that presenting articles in this format would be best. For example:


 * In the episode Prometheus, the X-303 was introduced. This ship heavily relied on Goa'uld technology. It had goa'uld-based shields, a naquadria hyperdrive, no asgard transporters, etc. In the episode Disclosure, the Asgard gifted to the Tau'ri several upgrades to the Prometheus, including new shields, hyperdrives, etc. As a result, the entire dynamic of the ship changed. In fact, so much so that the current 303-design became obsolete. This resulted in the creation of the 304-series of ships.


 * The X-303 article details the original design of the ship (relying mainly on human and goa'uld technology), whereas the BC-303 article details how the ship would have gone on to be produced in the entire project hadn't been scraped in favor of the 304.


 * The same is true for the X-302. And, to be consistent, we created 2 separate articles for the X-302 and F-302 as well. However, because the X-302 was only featured in one 2-part episode (whereas the X-303 in it's original form where shown is several), the X-302 page is a bit sparse in comparison.


 * Furthermore, various officially-sourced measurements and specifications are different for the X-302 and F-302. For example, the length of the X-302 is said to be 30 meters in Stargate SG-1: The DVD Collection 37, whereas the F-302 is listed to be 14.26 meters. There are differences between the craft, and having 2 pages would better help show that. It would also keep the article's format consistent with the other articles we have here. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 17:52, March 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * A lot of the additions you made while combining the articles actually do look very nice. While I still contend that we should have 2 distinct articles for the F-302 and X-302, i have been introducing some of your improvements into the respective pages. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 18:16, March 29, 2014 (UTC)

If they must remain two seperate pages, so be it. I would like to add that I have done quite a lot of research on the dimensions for this vessel as well as the reltaed 303 and 304 and the officially cited dimensions on the site, though they match the sources, are incorrect. I can provide you with my math if you want, I would like to be allowed to make make permanent edits to these dimensions and their sources.


 * The dimensions we have on a lot of our articles are another huge source of debate. Officially, we only include measurements given from officially-licensed sources. The main upside of doing this is that all the measurements we have come from the same source, which speaks to uniformity. However, some of these measurements are downright ridiculous and quite a few openly contradict each other (Just see Talk:Supergate for example).


 * As such, I'd be willing to allow you to place the measurements you have calculated on our articles. However, I don't want to just disregard the 'official measurements' altogether because I do think they can still be useful in some respects. So, If you wanted to place your measurements under a ==Notes== or ==Reference== section near the bottom of the page, that would be fine.


 * So for example, on the F-302 article, the infobox would still have the 'official' measurements and their reference tags, but next to those measurements, we could put another reference tag, and that reference tag would link you to the notes section where you have your measurements. Also, a brief description as to why the official measurements are wrong would likely be beneficial as well to readers don't think we're just pulling numbers out of a hat.


 * So basically it would be something like this:

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

ARTICLE

References and Notes
__________________________________________________________________________________________________


 * The reason for this is that a number of users over the years have presented their own set of measurements for certain articles. As there's really no way to prove who's set is the best or the most accurate, this acknowledges the ambiguity.


 * If you think this idea needs improvement, let me know what you think. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 23:04, March 29, 2014 (UTC)

Forums and blogs
I'm curious if there's a point of policy behind the lack of these options. With the series being long over, I would have thought the wiki might benefit from the option of greater discussion, since now it's unlikely to be flooded by endless casual viewer input. 07:48, April 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * You actually bring up a really good point. I think the only reason we haven't activated the blog or forum features yet is because I tend to be a bit 'old school' when it comes to new wikia features. (Though in this case, old school was only like 5 years ago, heh).


 * Anyway, I activated the blog and forum features. &mdash;Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 08:29, April 17, 2014 (UTC)

Admin assistance required to rename article
This message was mass-posted to all admins, it is not directed at you in particular. Could one of you move the Gateship article to "Puddle Jumper" (per Talk:Gateship). I tried doing it myself but I got an error message, it seams the admin toles are necessary to move this.

Lastly, I apologizes for mass-posting like this, but I didn't know what else to do. The error message directed me to SGCommand:Administration. The Administration page directed me to either make a post on the Community Portal, or to contact an admin directly, but portal doesn't seem to be working (it's little more then an otherwise blank page that says "Under construction"), and I didn't know which specific admin I was supposed to contact.

Incase anyone moans
i've spent the last few days updating and making changes to the stargate novel pages, which are getting there now. Incase anyone moans about the publishing dates however, I've had to refer to the release dates by amazon, through the Fandemonium webpage. There are probably a few errors here and there, but I've contact someone i know at Fandemonium for an official list of release dates. Previously, the dates where all over the place. Once they email me back, I'll make any chnages. Atleast the pages look more finished and consistent, compared to 48 hours ago. Any issues, please get in contact. Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 23:04, May 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * Excellent! Everything looks great so far. I've been concerned about those novel articles for a while now, so... Much obliged for the improvements. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 03:33, May 31, 2014 (UTC)

ElsaRules!!! Message
Um, this is ElsaRules!!! I was just wondering about editing. Am I allowed to fix grammatical errors when I see them? Also, do I need to be very knowledgeable about Stargate? I watch it with my dad a lot, but I haven't seen most of Atlantis and Universe, but most of SG-1. -ElsaRules!!! (talk) (Contribs) 02:02, May 31, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hello! If you see a mistake, PLEASE feel free to correct it. You don't need to necessarily be very knowledgeable about Stargate to start contributing here - Usually, you'll pick up quite a bit of information about the show just from spending some time on here. For now, just contribute where you can. If you have any more questions about Stargate, or how this wikia works, feel free to ask me, or leave a message in our Forum. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 03:33, May 31, 2014 (UTC)

If possible and you have the time, could you update the front page with the recently released Stargate novels, including Stargate SG-1: Hostile Ground that was released today.

 * No problem, & thank you for changing the main page so quickly. I've contacted Fandemonium through their Facebook page to make them aware of what we've done and said to contact us in the future about any further releases. --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 19:55, August 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * UPDATE: Sally Malcolm, who co-wrote the latest SG1 novel and joint-owner of Fandemonium, contacted me to say thank you for promoting the book. Sally Malcolm also said she'll contact us before any further releases. I said we are happy to help, as their novels keep the Stargate Universe going. --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 20:48, August 14, 2014 (UTC)

Editing
Hi, Anubis 10545, Typhuss999 and I have been arguing over the editing of various pages on this wiki for some time and it's gotten so bad that we need an admin to resolve things once and for all. I believe that various pages should have captions, for example, "Rodney McKay wielding a P-90, From the Stargate Atlantis Season 3 episode, "Vengeance". Typhuss disagrees, believing that it should be "Rodney McKay wielding a P-90" minus the full stop, purely because they believe that adding the full caption would make the page too long and Typhuss believes that it is unnecessary. Please help. Many thanks in advance. SocialOutsider.
 * Hey there! I'm assuming you're talking about image captions? Image captions don't really have a limit as to how long they can be. However, there's another issue here that needs addressing; We write this wiki from an 'In universe perspective" (meaning that we wright it as though we're actually in the Stargate universe). As such, including direct references to episodes in normal article text (such as in saying: Rodney McKay wielding a P-90, From the Stargate Atlantis Season 3 episode, "Vengeance") would be inappropriate.


 * If someone wants to know what episode a particular image is from, they can click on the image and see based on what category it's in (Almost all of our images here are categorized by episode).


 * I hope that answers your question! Sorry I haven't been around as much lately. Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 22:54, March 26, 2015 (UTC)

So, no image captions allowed? Shame. :( Personally and in my defense I just thought it helped and that it gave an explanation for whatever episode a caption came from but since it's your call, Anubis 10545, I will respect it. SocialOutsider.


 * Well, I mean, image captions are totally fine, but just avoid referring directly to the episode in them. However, I suppose that if you really wanted to mention the episode that goes with the image, you are welcome to do it in this format. Feel free to use either the top or bottom method:




 * Technically, it's not a huge difference from the way you suggested, but it's more in-line with how we cite information elsewhere on the wiki.

Thank you for the welcome, Anubis.

So glad I signed up after wanting to for so long... cannot believe how much I still love Stargate after nearly 8 years off the air. I look forward to greater activity in the near future.

Images not from the series
User:Colonelsam is purging a vast number of picture files simply because they are only illustrative and did not appear in the series per se. If this kind of new policy is going to be implemented, shouldn't it at least be discussed by active users first? 19:46, May 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey there! What User:Colonelsam is doing is actually in accordance with the long-standing policies of this wiki. The policy is basically as follows:


 * For normal articles, we only include images that come from the stargate series. For example, in the article Orange juice, we should only be including images of orange juice that are shown on an episode of Stargate. We use this policy to separate the facts of the 'real world' from the facts of the world portrayed in the stargate series. However, if the article is about an actor, production company, or any other real-world entity that's involved with the production of the show, outside images are fine. This is the case, because naturally Katie Stuart or Ordino Studios (for example) doesn't exist in the stargate universe.


 * Also note that if we started including outside images, it would clutter the wiki up and it would become difficult to differentiate between genuine images from stargate and outside images from the real world (keeping in mind the stargate world and real world are 2 separate entities). This is a wiki for Stargate and the 'stargate universe'. People don't really come here to see what meatloaf or the state flag of Nebraska looks like. If they want to know those things, they are welcome to click on the links we provide on each article to the appropriate wikipedia page, which tends to go into far more detail about the real-world than we're qualified to include.


 * A few months ago User:Atlantistvru uploaded a slew of outside images not from the stargate franchise and placed them on various articles. As this contradicted this policy, I (and a few other users) have been slowing purging these images from the site. I realize now, though, that this policy isn't explicitly stated on our SGCommand:Manual of Style or SGCommand:Policy pages, so I'll try to rectify that in short order. However, this touches on this policy in a broader sense.


 * I hope this cleared it up! If you still have questions feel free to ask. Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 20:17, May 7, 2015 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks for the clarification. A)

Re: John Sheppard's birthday.
Someone has edited Sheppard's page to include a date of birth for him but without quoting a source for it. There isn't one in canon. I edited it out but an anonymous user has edited it back in. Please advice as for  the policy for citing sources. Thank you.

Mischief5 (talk) (Contribs) 04:08, July 24, 2015 (UTC)Mischief5User:Mischief5 (talk) (Contribs) 04:08, July 24, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey there. Thanks for pointing that out. It looks like the edit that added in his birthday was made by one of our administrators, User:Jaymach, in 2009.


 * The most likely source for that date would be Stargate Atlantis: The DVD Collection 64, but as I don't have access to that particular issue, I'm not able to verify it. I'll leave a message on Jaymach's talk page and see if he can verify the source (as jaymach apparently has access to a ton of the DVD magazines, though keep in mind, he hasn't edited here for a few months).


 * For now, I'll place a "cite needed" template on the date until I can verify it. We've run into this issue a number of times before though where, in the past, jaymach or another user included information from an obscure source like this and simply neglected to include it. Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 04:28, July 24, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Here's the problem: given Sheppard's status in 1x01 "Rising" as a Command Pilot (15 years plus 3000 flight hours) plus a year of flight school, puts him as commissioned no later than 1988. Add four years for his bachelor's degree (required since the mid-1970 for all officers), and Sheppard had to have graduated from high school no later than 1984, making his DOB 1966. You might be able to fudge enough to make it 1967 if Sheppard skipped a grade but that's about it. Without an onscreen mention of Sheppard's birth date, as we had with Rodney McKay, no actual date can be cited with any certainty, ergo: date unknown. JMO.
 * Mischief5 (talk) (Contribs) 04:51, July 24, 2015 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. However, this actually touches on our policy here of what we include as canon. It's mentioned on here, but it's essentially this:


 * The information presented on the show takes priority over all other sources. However, we also include information (usually in the form of novels, audiobooks, the DVD magazines, etc) that are officially-licensed and considered canon by MGM. While (for example) Daniel Jackson's birthday isn't explicitly stated on the show, it is given in (and cited on Staragte wiki as being from) Stargate SG-1: The DVD Collection 2.


 * Naturally, however, inconsistencies do arise. When this is the case, we make a note of it at the bottom of the page and provide a link next to the text in question. For example, when/if Jaymach verifies Sheppard's birthday to be June 14, 1970 (assuming it is from such a source), we can include a note at the bottom of the page stating exactly what you just said in your previous comment.


 * Because the official status of these ancillary sources is canon, we have to include the information they provide (keeping in mind they are approved my MGM and the show's staff). However, because sometimes the facts they present don't always align with the show (or make complete sense) we make a note stating such. It's sort of like how we include a Goofs section on episode articles. Obviously each episode is canon, but occasionally they get facts wrong or present inconsistencies.


 * ...Actually though, this policy isn't fully stated in 1 specific place. It's kind of in pieces between separate talk pages. I'll have to fully detail it on our Policy article at some point. Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 05:31, July 24, 2015 (UTC)

Category request
I would like to request the creation of two categories, but do not know where to make the request. The categories are: Alien technology found on Earth, and Aliens found on Earth (not that exact wording, but the general idea). There are quite a few aliens that have been found on Earth by the SGC (Hathor, Osiris, that ancient woman, Martin's people, etc.), and lots of alien technology (Hathor's ship, hathor's sarcophogus, the stasis jars, the chair, the drones, the depleted ZPM, the time machine, merlin's chamber, etc.). Perhaps the concept needs refinement, but I think this would make a good addition to the wiki. BrentNewland (talk) (Contribs) 06:52, July 28, 2015 (UTC)


 * That's actually a pretty decent idea. The wording for both would be fine as-is, though I'm thinking we could also potentially have categories like "Goa'uld technology found on Earth", "Ancient technology found on Earth", and place those categories in the category "Alien technology found on Earth". Just an idea.


 * At any rate, I can get the ball rolling for you, but you're free to make a category yourself (you don't necessarily need to request it, but I definitely appreciate you running it by me given our category structure can get a bit complex sometimes).


 * I've created a a few categories as a sort of 'proof of concept', but feel free to expand it from here. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 07:37, July 28, 2015 (UTC)

Reflection about Svoriin
I have a question about the city of Sonden on Svoriin. Do you know what information is mentioned about Sonden in the Stargate SG-1: The DVD Collection 10?--Colonelsam (talk) (Contribs) 23:00, August 29, 2015 (UTC)


 * Information pertaining to Svoriin mentioned in the DVD magazine can be found on the article "Svoriin" (just look at the reference section on that article). Most of the information we have about Svoriin (and thus Sonden too) is mainly mentioned in Stargate SG-1: Friends and Foes: Stargate Season Two.


 * User:Jaymach did a pretty comprehensive job outlining the information from those sources into the Svoriin article. But as I don't have access to those sources at the moment, I can't give you specifics. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 23:44, August 29, 2015 (UTC)

Stargate Novels
Hello. Sorry I haven't been around for a bit. Between work (which overtook my life) and ThunderCats-Ho Wiki (which i administrate), I haven't had much time to make updates to the novels section. Anyway, I'm back now and have made a few formating improvement to the Fandemonium and Big Finish Productions pages. For example, I have cleaned-up the pages and made them more user-freindly to other users. Also, if you click on the images, it should take you to the corresponding page. No information has been lost, as it is already contained within the relevent page. Let me know what you think.

 * Hey! Welcome back. Yeah that looks great. Those tables (especially on the fandemonium page) were just horrifically long and those summaries were all pretty superficial anyway. Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 01:58, September 4, 2015 (UTC)
 * By the way, I like what you've done with the DVD magazine articles and the various publisher articles. Most of those pages haven't even been touched in forever so it's definitely a welcomed improvement. So yeah, thanks! Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 05:07, September 4, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I think it removes the length, due to summaries and other information, that people can read in the relevent pages themselves. It's is just more freindly and simplier to navigate via that page, which removing the unnecessary information. I have more design ideas, but I'll get to those once I have updated the Stargate Magazine DVD pages. I didn't want to do anything too much on actual pages, incase people didn't like and reversed my changes. --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 09:23, September 4, 2015 (UTC)

Long Day
It has been a long day, but I've more or less polished off the Fandemonium novel section, including tiddying up each individual page. I didn't expect it to take this long, but it looks a lot better and more complete. I'm going to contact Sally Malcolm and ask if they have any unrealised/varient covers and information we could use for our wiki. Anyway, I'm going to bed, as the sun will be coming up in a few hours. If anybody isn't happy with anything I've changed, please let me know. --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 02:48, September 6, 2015 (UTC)
 * Jesus Christ dude. Yeah, looking at the recent changes list, I'd say it's been a long day too. Sleep well. But thanks though. Everything looks great. (The "Related Books" section in particular was a nice touch) Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 03:04, September 6, 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Once I had uplaoded the image and links on the Fandemonium page for each, it was easy to copy to other pages, which gives them a more visual appeal. My main aim at the moment, is to improve the look and user ability of these pages. I just need to fiddle and work it out bit-by-bit. --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 15:04, September 6, 2015 (UTC)

Big Finish Pages
Hi. I'm still working on the Big Finish Production pages, so please don't think I'm going to leave them like that. They need more work than i though, and I have ran out of time tonight. I've also got more info and images to add, once I've polished it more. Do we have a tool for uploading and displaying audio trailers on this wiki? Night --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 04:32, September 8, 2015 (UTC)Bold text


 * We do have a way of uploading audio, but we don't have a 'tool' exactly. It's not something we've dealt with a lot, so I'm not incredibly well-versed on it. It would be an interesting idea for the audiobooks though if that's what you're thinking.


 * User:Jenkins08 toyed around with audio a few years back. You could use his work as an example:


 * 
 * 


 * It seems you upload audio the same way as an image, just in a ".ogg" format: [[File:FileName.ogg]] (again, not my specialty).


 * Hope this helped, and Thanks for the update -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 04:59, September 8, 2015 (UTC)

Sound tool
Hi. Yes I was trying to add the trailers for each of the stargate audiobooks, but the tool just looks ugly and doesn't fit. I'm going to look into making our own, when I have more time.

I'm steadily working myself through the literature section, but it's eating up a lot of time. But it will look good once I have finished, so I'll keep working away at it. I've made a good start on the short story section tonight. Once the presentation of the pages is sorted, I'll swing back around and add more content, were needed.

Oh ye, Sallyn Malcolm has kindly agreed to help us, by giving us addition content for past and upcoming books, which is nice of her. She liked how we have designed and layed-out the Fandemonium pages, which was also nice of her to say. Anyway, I might take a break tomorrow. Big Finish have also given me some additional information.

Anyway, thanks for trying to give me some solutions for the audio tool. --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 01:26, September 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * That's fantastic about Sally Malcolm. I'm glad you're so on top of this. (I know I've said this a billion times, but thanks).


 * Another thing though; Regarding Stargate SG-1: Exile, I haven't read the book, but the extract mentions the Wraith and Lanteans (Introduced in season 8), and the publisher's summary mentions Dr. Fraiser (killed in season 7). Furthermore, we have the book chronologically placed in season 3. Officially, the fandemonium website seems to corroborate this, but logically, it doesn't make sense. I'm trying to figure out if this is actually all part of the story, or if fandemonium had a mixup on their website.-Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 02:30, September 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * I have beifly looked though the books, as this is not a novel I've read yet (i'm going to soon). From what i have read, Janet Fraiser's parts in the story occured during 2000s (season 3ish), where as other parts of the story occur in the future. So it seem that Fandemonium have got the relationship between the novel and the TV series correct (i think), but the links between the summary and extract could cause confusion. I'll  make some sort of note on our page awsel. I might also email fandemonium.


 * & you don't have to thank me. We are all working towards building and improving this wiki. --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 15:09, September 11, 2015 (UTC)

Questions of Sateda
Hello Anubis 10545 I have just one question about Sateda. Is P3R-534 really Satedas designation and is the 9600 lightyears from Lantea?.--Colonelsam (talk) (Contribs) 20:11, September 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * It looks like the edit that added in that information was made recently by an anonymous user who didn't provide a source. As I can't verify that to be correct, I removed that information from the page. That's for asking about that. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 01:52, September 11, 2015 (UTC)

Selmak
I just wonder which episode it is mentioned that Selmak has been the leader of the Tok'ra High Council for nearly 200 years?--Colonelsam 19:54, October 23, 2015 (UTC)
 * In The Tok'ra, Part 2, Selmak's previous host mentions that she's been blended with selmak for the last 200 years. That's probably the source of that number. However, further information about selmak's role on the high council originates from Stargate SG-1: Fantastic Frontiers: Stargate Season One.


 * The wording on the selmak page says that he's a "respected leader on the Tok'ra High Council", not "of the Tok'ra High Council". Given Per'sus is the leader of the Tok'ra High Council in Divide and Conquer, I think that that line's simply trying to say that Selmak is one of the leaders in Tok'ra society, and that he's on the high council, but that he's not the Leader of the council.

About Ma'chello
What year is Ma'chello born? When it says in "Friends and Foes: Stargate Season Two" that Ares first conquered Dendred more than a century ago. Is there a century before 1999 when Ma'chello died.--Colonelsam 18:04, October 24, 2015 (UTC)
 * As far as I can tell, there's no source that gives an exact date for his birth. However, in Holiday, Tea'lc claims that "Since before I was born, [Ma'chello] has been a fugitive from the System Lords". Tea'c was born in 1899. Also, Stargate SG-1: Friends and Foes: Stargate Season Two claims that Ma'chello's been fighting the Goa'uld since he was 20. So, Ma'chello was likely born sometime before 1879. Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 21:52, October 24, 2015 (UTC)
 * Is Ma'chello around one hundred years? You mentioned that he was 20 years old when he fought against the Goa'uld System Lords. In "Friends and Foes Stargate Season Two" claims that he fought another thirty against the Goa'uld. Ma'chello told Daniel Jackson that he had fought against the Goa'uld for fifty years as confirmed in the Friend and Foe Stargate Season Two. Is it possible that Ma'chello was not a hundred years old and born sometime in the mid-1900s?--Colonelsam 19:02, October 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * Given Tea'c's statement, and how physically old Ma'chello looked in Holiday even after years of using stasis technology, I would say he is probably over 100 years old. Keep in mind, after he got to a certain age, he stopped fighting the goa'uld directly, but continued to create technology. Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 22:48, October 25, 2015 (UTC)

About Thor
I have some questions about Thor hope you can answer the questions.


 * How old is he? In "Friends and Foes: Stargate Season Two" is mentioned that the original Thor visited the Earth about 500 AD and that he died in 2007. If he lived already 500 AD and died in 2007, he would have been 1507 years. But in "Stargate SG-1: The Roleplaying Game" is mentioned that the average lifespan of an Asgard is four hundred years. If he changed his new clone body every time he may well not have lived so long, or could he?
 * And when he became the youngest Supreme Commander of Asgard fleet in 200 years, is it about two centuries before 1998?--Colonelsam 15:42, October 28, 2015 (UTC)


 * No source I can find say Thor's exact age, but he would have to be over 1507 years old given what we know about Thor and his presence in Earth mythology.


 * Regarding the average life span for the Asgard, the Role Playing Game is probably saying that 400 years is how long a cloned asgard body can live before the consciousness inside it needs get a new body. However, as we saw in Stargate Sg-1, it seemed like (as a result of their progressive cloning problems), they had to get new bodies much more frequently. It's possible that by the time the asgard committed mass suicide, the average lifespan for a body had gradually decreased over the years.


 * Thor became Supreme commander when he was 200 years old. As we don't know what year he was born, we can't say what year that was. However, it likely occurred sometime near 500AD. Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 02:29, October 30, 2015 (UTC)

About Asgard
I have a question about Asgard. After they had survived "Barion's Syndrome" and when they used cloning for over 1000 years when the two problems developed into a deterioration of their DNA when they lacked the new genetic material. Is that a thousand years before 1998 when they met Tau'ri on Cimmeria?

And when they lacked the original genetic material leading to discontinuation of the cloning of the first generations of DNA and the inevitable difficulty of cell mutation with each successive generation. After they had used cloning for over 1000 years. Is it 300 years before in 1998 when they met SG-1 on Cimmeria?--Colonelsam 18:51, October 31, 2015 (UTC)

Front Page Update
Morning. Could you please update the front page with the new novel by Fandemonium, which is called Stargate SG-1 / Atlantis: Points of Origin.

--Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 11:38, November 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * My god, these novels just come out of nowhere. Thanks for pointing that out! - Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 09:02, November 20, 2015 (UTC)


 * thanks forn updating. i think they have another novella coming out next month, but i don't know what it is called yet. I'll let you know when it is about to be published. I'm just continuing to update the novels with more information. Everytime I think i'm getting on-top of it, i find that there is more information to add. --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 14:21, November 22, 2015 (UTC)

Rating tool
Do we have a rating tool we could use for novels and audiobooks, so we could show review rating from Amazon on other relevent sites? Wikipedia use this type of tool for music albums and I thought it might look good and be useful for potential readers here --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 23:28, November 23, 2015 (UTC)
 * As far as I know, we don't have any such tool here. It is an interesting idea though if it's something you want to pursue. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 02:53, November 24, 2015 (UTC)


 * Do  you know anyone that can help. i try to use what wiki knowledge i have well, but it's very limited.

Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 18:59, November 24, 2015 (UTC)


 * Super secret tip of advice: Harry Potter wiki and Wookiepedia have, generally, the same basic coding structure as Stargate wiki. So, for the most part, when you're looking to implement a new template or idea, see if they already have something similar over there as, chances are, it'll be able to transfer over without any huge issues.


 * That being said, I found a similar template to what you're suggesting over on wookiepedia. I added the text to the template you started. When I have some free time in the coming days, I can further tailor it to Stargate wiki's needs, but feel free to toy around with it in the meantime. -Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 20:06, November 24, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm still getting my head around the source coding for that template, but it looks very promising so far. Once I get my head around what I'm doing, I'll start adding the template to a few pages to begin with. Thank you --Stargate TL1 (talk) (Contribs) 22:18, November 25, 2015 (UTC)
