Talk:Fall of the Twelve Colonies/Archive 1: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 22:30, 27 August 2005

Sweet page, Ricimer. Elaborated just a bit with point-by-point data on the formation of the new fleet and government elements. Spencerian 10:33, 18 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Suggested merge with Cylon Attack & Negotiator's edits

I believe that the content of this article should be moved to the article Cylon Attack over a redirect. Additionally, there are portions of Negotiator's contributions to that article (which Ricimer reverted) which could be incorporated into the body of the combined text.

How say you all? --Peter Farago 17:10, 27 August 2005 (EDT)

I say not until the flesh is hacked from my bones. Negotiator's additions weren't that good, and based largely on speculation and unconfirmed musings; that is why I deleted them (they can be reincorporated into "Cylon AttacK" in some altered form.

This page should exist because, under the scheme that I have devised, the "Cylon Attack" is synonymous with the "Second Cylon War" (no one actuall uses the later term, though technically it is correct, so I just link them all to "Cylon Attack").

>Under this scheme, the "Fall of the Twelve Colonies" was the battle that began the war referred to as the "Cylon Attack". They aren't the same thing and should not be merged. "Cylon Attack" should have material added to it that discusses "why" the Cylons attacked the Colonies (Negotiator's stuff should go there), but this page deals with the specific military engagements of the battle. This page should stay as it was. ---Ricimer, 27 Aug, 2005
