			:OK. "Caprica-Six" was named after her [[Miniseries, Night 1\|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. --[[User:Spencerian\|Spencerian]] 14:42, 18 March 2007 (CDT)

	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 [[Ron D. Moore\|Moore]] and [[David Eick\|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 [[BW:CJ#Derived Content\|"derived content"]], which allows contributor speculation based on official sources. This differs from what is called [[BW:FANW\|"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! --[[User:Spencerian\|Spencerian]] 10:30, 18 March 2007 (CDT)		Welcome to the wiki!
