Can it be confirmed that Scorpia's analog is Scorpion?  My understanding (and I'm still looking for the info myself) is that it's Scorpinon.--[[User:Mitsukai|Mitsukai]] 13:52, 26 January 2006 (EST)

:If you can find some good canonical references, feel free to hack and slash at this. It's a pretty sad little article for as often it gets linked to. All of the "referenced" information looks ok, but I don't know the source of the colony names for the article. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 14:19, 26 January 2006 (EST)

== Non-canon information ==

I'm against the referencing of [[The Official Battlestar Galactica Scrapbook]] in this article. The names shown are so clearly off from what is canonical that there is certainly some ancient fanwanking at work. I don't mind moving the reference to the book's article itself, but mixing it here is nothing but trouble. Making the matter worse is that "official" in those days may or may not have been so. We need a source that verifies that source or we need to remove this reference. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 07:52, 23 April 2007 (CDT)

::I've deleted the reference and moved it to the book article, with a caveat. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 08:47, 23 April 2007 (CDT)

== Taurus/Taura ==

[[User:Danage]] changed the name of Taurus to Taura. Do we have any evidence as to which is correct? --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 15:55, 2 October 2007 (CDT)
: Hmm... I'll have to review "[[Saga of a Star World]]" to be sure. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 16:09, 2 October 2007 (CDT)

== Incorrect Reference ==

"This raspy accent would be revisited in the Re-imagined Series, where natives of Aerelon are depicted with Irish sounding accents as well."

The dialect that Baltar uses is of Northern England origin, principally the Yorkshire area one. It isn't at all Irish sounding. Just thought I'd mention this rather than delete/alter the reference, to allow debate. --[[User:Sixu|Sixu]] 02:11, 7 October 2007 (CDT)

:Right. There was some confusion about this origin, but it's now settled as Yorkshire on the relevant pages. But I think the note can be salvaged by rewording... --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 05:13, 7 October 2007 (CDT)
