Expansion vs. Possible Deletion[edit]
I'm not sure what more can be expanded on this one. I've not heard this term used before, which means there is an extremely high probablity that it comes from Baltar's Escape (one of the few episodes I've not seen at this point). Other than adding an episode citation, or a quote that demonstrates its usage, I'm not sure what more can really be expanded on this. I suppose we could provide a picture of the prisoners aboard the Prison Barge. I'm just torn about whether this deserves expansion, or just ought to be deleted (since it's just a one-off terminology entry). --Steelviper 11:13, 20 February 2006 (EST)
- Short of saying who the "Grid Rats" were, I don't see how this can be expanded. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 18:45, 8 August 2006 (CDT)
- I'm going to remove the "expand" tag, as you've both demonstrated why it's not really needed/useful. JubalHarshaw 11:37, 22 December 2006 (CST)
Possible merge scenario[edit]
We may want to just merge all the terms, "bilge rats", "barge lice", and "grid rats" into one article. Thoughts? -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 21:01, 12 January 2007 (CST)
- It certainly makes sense, as they all seem to describe the same thing. (Never watched any TOS, perhaps I should rectify that sometime soon.) JubalHarshaw 22:57, 12 January 2007 (CST)
- Yeah, the less tiny articles, the better. Especially when they are pretty much about the same thing --Serenity 06:07, 13 January 2007 (CST)
- Interchangable terminology. No significant differences in usage or connotation. Merge is fine by me. --Steelviper 07:27, 15 January 2007 (CST)
Nice. The question now is what do we name the main article? Prison Barge prisoners, with all terms redirecting to it? -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 08:57, 15 January 2007 (CST)
- Inmates is better than prisoners imo --Mercifull (Talk/Contribs) 10:15, 15 January 2007 (CST)
- I agree that inmates helps avoid the prison prisoners repetition. --Steelviper 07:48, 16 January 2007 (CST)
