Should there be a page for light year as well? It occurs frequently in the RDM dialog, and technically speaking it is a continuity error. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nnnnnnnn (talk • contribs).
- Not really. This article probably needn't exist at all, either. Battlestar Wiki isn't a general encyclopedia, and we don't generally allow articles on mundane or ordinary objects. A "parsec" is still a parsec, however misused, although it appears that the Re-imagined Series uses it much more accurately. --Spencerian 23:04, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
