Appropriateness of this article

I hate to drill into Dreamer's first article with us when he/she just got here, but I'm not sure if this article is specific enough for the wiki. We have many bits of trivia in the Notes section of many articles, like the sighting of other SF ships in the miniseries. Tricia's and Grace's data could be placed in their bios. Comments? --Spencerian 23:50, 7 February 2006 (EST)

Agree. The "Re-imagined Series References" page is a good source for most non-biographical trivia, which is best located within the appropriate articles. --April Arcus 23:55, 7 February 2006 (EST)

Greetings to you all and I must say, I'm surprised by the immediate attention my additions got, thanks :) What Spencerian says is very true, all data herein can be contained elsewhere in the wiki or nowhere at all. However, my personal feeling is that:

- Certain people are interested in tidbits regarding their favorite series in general, not only focused on certain actors/characters/objects et al. Personally, I check the IMDB trivia page constantly.

- For those who do, it's better for them to acquire those tidbits from a specific page rather than "mine" through the whole site to get that information. --Dreamer 00:08, 8 February 2006 (EST)

No. If they wanted to look at "trivia" they would look at the "Notes" section of the main article page for Battlestar Galactica (RDM). Creating a separate trivia page linked only from there is a tad redundant. The place for such trivia would be in the handy "notes" section.--The Merovingian 00:50, 8 February 2006 (EST)

Point taken, although notes still will not cover individuals who want to focus on trivia and use that as criteria to obtain wanted information in the sense I mentioned above. --dreamer 01:19, 8 February 2006 (EST)

Yes, yes they do. Notes sections are a great already existing and easy to use way to find trivia information on characters and actors. --The Merovingian 02:16, 8 February 2006 (EST)

Further, we already have the dedicated Re-imagined Series References page. --The Merovingian 02:53, 8 February 2006 (EST)

Since you feel so strong about it, I'll just be adding trivia on the appropriate "notes" sections. --dreamer 18:54, 9 February 2006 (EST)

Which is exactly what I stated you must do. Thank you. --The Merovingian 20:13, 9 February 2006 (EST)

Let's let this article stay around long enough for Dreamer to migrate the info out to "notes" sections. Once that is done we can delete it. --Steelviper 20:21, 9 February 2006 (EST)

Like I said there wasn't much here in the first place.--The Merovingian 22:55, 9 February 2006 (EST)
