Name of Battle[edit]

1. So I just threw this page up so that we'd have the beginning of a summary to make things easier to write out when we see the conclusion in January, but I know that the title of the article, and battle, may be a bit controversial. Is it a "battle?" We don't really know yet. It is a "Standoff," "Crisis," etc.? It'll be easy enough to change the title later on if consensus shows that it isn't a "battle." There have been shots fired and losses taken; Starbuck was downed hit by SAM fire.

2. Also annoying, no one has gone and officially named the site of the battle as the "Algae Planet." Most either use "Algae planet" or "algae planet." The Algae planet page has been started, so this shouldn't be much of a big deal, because the word "planet" in a battle title would be capitalized regardless of whether it is capitalized in the name of the planet or not. - Keithustus 19:13, 16 December 2006 (CST)

I think the name of the page should be changed ; their not fighting for the planet but rather for the eye - so "Battle for the Eye of Jupiter" is a more logical choice. --lordmutt 19:40, 16 December 2006 (CST)

The show itself also calls the place "Algae planet" (The Eye of Jupiter). Maybe we should wait for Rapture to air before we take any decisions, as it will show the rest of the battle and provide more ground for calling it a battle/standoff/crisis/whatever. --Catrope 09:37, 18 December 2006 (CST)
