[edit] airdates
The air dates for the UK and US under the 'Miniseries air dates' and 'List of episodes' headings appear to be transposed ... Lee Elms 20:19, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge from Ragnar Anchorage
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the proposal was merge
Given that Ragnar Anchorage only ever makes an appearance in this miniseries, I can't see any reason why it can't be merged here. Much of the information on the Ragnar Anchorage article appears to be redundant, speculation, etc. anyway (I'll go into that in more detail if requested). -- Run! 12:37, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
- Please don't remove merge templates without even making a comment, Xornok. If you want to oppose the merge, form an argument against it and post it here. -- Run! 10:22, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
- Ragnar Anchorage is mentioned in passing several times in the TV series. I don't see much reason to merge it here since the miniseries and series are parts of a same canon. In worst case it will be featured again during Season 3 (I'm assuming it isn't in Season 2, which I have not seen yet) and we need to separate it again. I'm not opposed to trimming any fan speculation etc., maybe do that first and then see if there is enough text to warrant a separate article. jni 10:14, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
- It is mentioned in passing, yes, but such mentionings don't give any extra detail. Everything that can be said about Ragnar Anchorage can be said in this article, because the miniseries is where it is featured and where everything to do with it happens. It could be featured in series 3 but by no means is that a good reason to hang on to the article - if, indeed, it does reappear in the series, then the article can be recreated with no trouble at all (by reverting the redirect). I'll start trimming the article anyway, just to see what happens (initially I avoided it thinking it wouldn't be worth the time). -- Run! 10:39, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
- Having looked at the article again, there is only a single sentence which describes what the Anchorage actually is. Everything else in that article details events that happen in the miniseries. I don't see any reason for repeating all this information. -- Run! 10:48, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
- I agree for reasons mentioned above, as a location in Battlestar Galactica little infomation is provided, the article just details events that occur there, and a lot of this is duplicated elsewhere. Very little information is provided in the series or miniseries to add to what is already covered here. In the unlikely event that it is refered to in more detail in upcoming series the article can be recreated.Provider uk 17:20, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

I would like to issue support for the merger, there is little information contained within this article which is not stated in the main mini series page.

[edit] Very sloppy written article
The plot summary of the mini-series needs to be cleaned up. It's too point-by-point in my opinion, and needs to be upgraded to a higher writing standard. --LifeStar 19:18, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- As a story it's a bit shit, but it covers most of the events in a concise manner. Too much detail (or "passion") and it might get a bit crufty. That said, a few bits could do with expanding/explaining. I will probably return to it in a few weeks. -- Run! 21:16, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Name of the article
I believe it might be a good idea to add a year number to the name of this article. There are just to many programs with the same name. Something like Battlestar Galactica (2003 TV program). What do you think? --84.178.93.205 22:39, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Move Battlestar Galactica (TV program) to Battlestar Galactica (TV miniseries)
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the proposal was move
- move per WP naming conventions

The DVD is entitled The Miniseries, how much clearer can you be?
[edit] Survey
- Support. --Usgnus 02:39, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- Support. The move to "(TV program)" seems to have been done without consensus anyway. -- Fru1tbat 13:00, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- DONE. This should never have been moved in the first place. The person who performed the move clearly didn't understand the naming conventions properly. -- Scjessey 13:19, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ragnar = Ragnarok?!?
Is there evidence for the assertion in the trivia section that Ragnar is a reference to Ragnarok? Ragnar is a fairly common Norse name, isn't it? Applejuicefool 03:53, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
