:::::I know Matt Cutts at Google is head of the department that basically ensures we all get the information we need out of our searches through various search algorithms, etc..

If we really | :::::: Well, I hardly think Google is about to change their indexing scheme for little old us. If we really suppress certain text from appearing in indexed search results, one solution is to embed the relevant text in a bit of Javascript which merely prints the text with <tt>document.write</tt> (this could be done easily with a template). I'm fairly confident that the indexed search result will ''not'' evaluate Javascript from a source page, or else Google search queries would be giving us all kinds of pop-ups. --[[User:Saforrest|Saforrest]] 21:32, 13 March 2007 (CDT) | ||

: Yes, it's not clear to me what the heck Baltar's Aerelon accent was. It didn't sound particularly Irish to me, but I'm a Canadian, so my understanding of Irish/British accents is not great. On a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerelon Wikipedia article on the Twelve Colonies], someone claimed it was a Yorkshire accent. That sounds at least plausible to me. | : Yes, it's not clear to me what the heck Baltar's Aerelon accent was.

: It would make some sense if the Aerelon dialect were Irish. Both places have a history of repression by larger powers. Plus, Michael Hogan's Northern/Eastern Ontario accent has traces of Irish influence, and since [[Saul Tigh]] is most recently from Caprica but originally from Aerelon, you could rationalize his accent as being Caprican with Aerelon influences. I wonder, if actor's accents are consistently used to represent in-story linguistic differences, what will we see when ''Galactica'' finally meets the Thirteenth Tribe? A few thousand years is a lot of time for linguistic innovation. Will they be speaking Swedish or Saskrit or something? --[[User:Saforrest|Saforrest]] 21:32, 13 March 2007 (CDT) | : It would make some sense if the Aerelon dialect were Irish.

::I think Tigh's Aerelon ancestry, which was only revealed in the BSG Magazine, has been overruled by his comments in "[[The Woman King]]" which reeked of Caprican nationalism. --[[User: | ::I think Tigh's Aerelon ancestry, which was only revealed in the BSG Magazine, has been overruled by his comments in "[[The Woman King]]" which reeked of Caprican nationalism. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 22:18, 13 March 2007 (CDT) | ||
