I believe that the content of this article should be moved to the article [[Cylon Attack]] over a redirect. Additionally, there are portions of [[User:Negotiator|Negotiator's]] contributions to that article (which Ricimer reverted) which could be incorporated into the body of the combined text. | I believe that the content of this article should be moved to the article [[Cylon Attack]] over a redirect.

:I say not until the flesh is hacked from my bones. Negotiator's additions weren't that good, and based largely on speculation and unconfirmed musings; that is why I deleted them (they can be reincorporated into "Cylon AttacK" in some altered form. | :I say not until the flesh is hacked from my bones.

:Under this scheme, the "Fall of the Twelve Colonies" was the ''battle'' that began the ''war'' referred to as the "Cylon Attack". They aren't the same thing and should not be merged. "Cylon Attack" should have material added to it that discusses "why" the Cylons attacked the Colonies (Negotiator's stuff should go there), but this page deals with the specific military engagements of the battle. This page should stay as it was. ---Ricimer, 27 Aug, 2005 | :Under this scheme, the "Fall of the Twelve Colonies" was the ''battle'' that began the ''war'' referred to as the "Cylon Attack".

::If we need an article about the 2nd cylon war, couldn't we create one and call it [[Second Cylon War]] or something? An attack is an attack, not a war. Alternately, if you're terrifically attatched to "Fall of the Twelve Colonies", we could have Cylon Attack redirect here. My main point is that having two articles on the same thing is redundant and confusing. | ::If we need an article about the 2nd cylon war, couldn't we create one and call it [[Second Cylon War]] or something?

::As for Negotiator's edits, they are speculative and not completely accurate, but touch on subjects worthy of mention. I think they could be summarized for inclusion into this article. --[[User: | ::As for Negotiator's edits, they are speculative and not completely accurate, but touch on subjects worthy of mention.

:::My feeling on the battle pages is that they dispense with the character narratives and deal only with battle gains, losses, and tactics. Makes it easy to discern what resources were used, gained, or lost after an episode or series of episodes without having to glean it from an episode page. I think the Cylon Attack page contents could be merged into this page, not the reverse (with Cylon Attack as the redirect). The episode page for the mini-series could have the full rundown in a nutshell, thus the need of this page for specifics.

::::I agree in principle, but my zeal for concision leads me to prefer the title "Cylon Attack" over "Fall of the Twelve Colonies" by a large margin. This article would form the bulk of the text in any case; it's a much better document than the currently flimsy [[Cylon Attack]]. --[[User: | ::::I agree in principle, but my zeal for concision leads me to prefer the title "Cylon Attack" over "Fall of the Twelve Colonies" by a large margin.
