Recent rollback

Welcome to the wiki! Sorry to revert your very first contribution on the wiki, but the information you added to Humanoid Cylon is unsourced; there hasn't been any official information I can recall that supports a connection between Number Six and the zodiac. In fact, the use of "Number Six" as a name was described by Moore and Eick as a homage to the '60's TV show, The Prisoner. If you have an official source (aired episode, cast or crew quote) that supports your entry, let us know in the article and we can put it back. If it's a thought you came up with, check a look at our policy on "derived content", which allows contributor speculation based on official sources. This differs from what is called "fanwanking", which is fan-generated ideas of what things are about, but haven't something official to support them. Don't let my edit put you off from future edits, and enjoy the wiki! --Spencerian 10:30, 18 March 2007 (CDT)

I'd missed a prime sentence in my description, that being that the name she is given, caprica, capricorn, is the representation of pan, the god of sex/nature as well as the 6th in the grecko roman zodiac, but whatever

OK. "Caprica-Six" was named after her mission on Caprica in Caprica City, she being instrumental in bombarding the Colonies. "Caprica" is a derivation of Capricorn, yes. The references to Pan are dubious, however, since that god's not been mentioned at all in the show -- yet. --Spencerian 14:42, 18 March 2007 (CDT)
