Given the release of the [[Galactica 1980 (Region 1 DVD)|DVD release]] of [[Galactica 1980|Galactica 1980]], there is a drive to develop articles relating to the series.

If you have the box set or just want to copy edit over the articles that have been submitted, you are more than welcome to help join the development drive!

[[BW:1980|Check it out here!]]

Just to let everyone know, I’ve conducted the [[BW:RAFFLE|membership raffle]] and contacted the potential winners. Once I have heard back from them, then I’ll announce the final results of the raffle!

In the meantime, we will be holding another raffle on Friday, January 25, 2008! I’m working on the prizes right now for January’s drawing, but all I can say is expect some major cool prizes in February!

To become eligible, you must be a [[BW:MEMBERSHIP|paying member]] of Battlestar Wiki and Battlestar Forum! Memberships only cost $10 USD so what are you waiting for?

I’ve known about the following article for roughly two to three weeks now (time gets warped during the Holidays, so I’m not going to be committal here), but it’s an article on the Battlestar Wiki and Wiki Frakr written by Sarah Toton. You can read the article here.

As long-time visitors to the Wiki know, Toton previously gave a presentation on the Battlestar Wiki at MIT5 which caused a stir, resulting in pretty interesting feedback, at least in my view.

Anyway, I’ll post my reactions to it in the coming days, probably after Christmas. Maybe sooner. (Again, I’m not being committal here, with this time being the holidays.)

In the meantime, I encourage everyone to discuss the article either here, there, or at the Battlestar Forum.

For those Galactipedians (or fans) who support the strike, I’ve received the following news-bit from Pencils2MediaMoguls.com:

How would you like to go to a hockey game with [[Galen Tyrol|the Chief]]?

That’s right, our own [[Aaron Douglas]] will take one fan to a Canucks hockey game, along with another buddy of his up in Vancouver.  And how can you score this treat?  Simple.  By going to Pencils2MediaMoguls.com and buying as many boxes of pencils as you can.  On the first page (which is a subset of United Hollywood) you’ll see a place to identify which show you’re supporting.  Type in “BSG Aaron Douglas” and we’ll enter your name into a raffle, with the lucky winner getting to attend the hockey game with Aaron.

In case you haven’t heard, the Pencils Campaign is designed to send a huge amount of pencils to the major studios as a symbol of fan support for the strike.  More information can be found on their website.

Look for other offers from other members of the Galactica cast in the near future — no idea what the offers will be or how many there may be.  I’ll keep you informed.

Please note that Battlestar Wiki is neutral with regard to the strike, so please do not put our name on the pencils. Please put the show name or “BSG Aaron Douglas” on the pencil. Thank you!
