[[User:Jzanjani|Jzanjani]], your summary of events here is very well written, but I wonder if it's necessary to go into such detail on this article - the topic is Earth, not Roslin's various visions. Would you mind if I tried to make it a little more concise? --[[User: | [[User:Jzanjani|Jzanjani]], your summary of events here is very well written, but I wonder if it's necessary to go into such detail on this article - the topic is Earth, not Roslin's various visions.

:I agree, this is on the Line. Further, this page should *definately* be turned into a disambiguation page and split into two separate ones: one for TOS Earth, one for RDM Earth. RDM's Earth could be entirely different from the old one. ---Ricimer, October 5, 2005 | :I agree, this is on the Line.

::Ricimer, I think I agree with your statement about colonial FTL drive, but I thought it would be prudent to point out that colonial sublight engines also run on Tylium - c.f. Apollo's ready room comments in "Resistance". --[[User: | ::Ricimer, I think I agree with your statement about colonial FTL drive, but I thought it would be prudent to point out that colonial sublight engines also run on Tylium - c.f.

I think we should avoid splitting pages according to different series, especially when the amount of information we have on the subject is so sparse. All the information we have on Earth easily fits into one screen of properly formatted text. I'm not sure if anyone else notices it, but Wiki pages don't exactly load quickly, and I think the community should try to avoid excessive compartmentalization as much as possible.

*Abosolutely not. Wiki pages load perfectly fast on any computer I use; problem is on your end, not us. Purpose of this is not to worry about having to cut away information, but to upload as much as possible. Information should not be sacrificed for length. I mention splitting the two, because (had you not just recently arrived) you see we have quite recently been splitting the Galactica and Pegasus articles. If it were not for the fact that I don't know how to make a disambiguation page I already would have. ---[[User:Ricimer|Ricimer]], October 5, 2005 | *Abosolutely not.

::The Galactica and Battlestar articles needed to be split because it was huge, and the Pegasus article went along with that. I'm less convinced about this page, which is quite concise. --[[User: | ::The Galactica and Battlestar articles needed to be split because it was huge, and the Pegasus article went along with that.

::Tectonic movement over the course of several hundred or maybe even thousands of years won't change the world very significantly. So it could be possible we Earthlings are already extinct when the RTF gets here. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. --[[User:Gen00b|Gen00b]] 03:48, 28 March 2007 (CDT) | ::Tectonic movement over the course of several hundred or maybe even thousands of years won't change the world very significantly.

:Louisiana holds the key. Examine the frame of Earth, and you will notice a crooked line running Northwest/Southeast across the state. This is the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_River_%28Mississippi_watershed%29 Red River]. If you examine the region in [http://www.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&z=7&ll=31.614796,-92.853699&spn=6.827183,10.283203&t=k&om=1 Google Earth], you will find the "line" is actually agriculture along the riverbank and not natural topography. While I'm sure native and pre-industrial Americans farmed the area, I don't think their efforts could be seen from high orbit. Therefore, I believe Earth is at least in the late 19th Century. --[[User:Astromav|Astromav]] 20:57, 28 March 2007 (CDT) | :Louisiana holds the key.
