:I know I'm getting into this late, and that this has been discussed back in April, so I beg forgiveness for my tardiness and resurrection of a potentially dead subject.  I'm trying to become more involved with the wiki and thought I'd continue discussing Think Tank Proposals.  That said, I think Serenity is dead on.  If there is only one member of a family tree there's no point in including it.

I'd like to know as much as the next guy as much as possible about the character's backgrounds.  However, a lot of them lost their families in the Cylon attacks and there's no real point to including Unknown Mother, Unknown Father, Cally - Chief Tyrol - Offspring, etc.  That becomes too lengthy and it also falls close to, in my opinion, fanwankery.--[[User:Jonathan|Jonathan]] 00:47, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

::: I believe the use of "family trees" should be done on a case by case basis. For instance, I believe the Adamas should have a family tree, since that family is huge and we can trace the tree back within a couple of generations. Beyond that, I don't think the Tyrols need one, since that family tree is more of a shrub, and is summarized by the character's infoboxes. Same can be said for some of the characters from the original series, like Adama and his family... no need for a tree there, really.
::: There is such a thing as over-stating facts, and I believe that the whole family tree thing is a prime example of that, if used incorrectly and indiscriminately. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 00:54, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
