::You think so? There's far too little data for a TOS article, and the comparisons work well towards the end. Neither series is likely to review Kobol to add more data to the article. I recommend keeping it together. To help, I removed a bunch of episodic stuff that was really unnecessary to help shorten the RDM content. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 15:28, 19 July 2006 (CDT) | |||
Revision as of 20:28, 19 July 2006
Could the name Kobol possibly come from the archaic programming language Cobol?--Deadlygopher 14:59, 19 January 2006 (EST)
- I don't think so... The original series used it and I thought it was supposed to be an anagram for some idea or theme that plays a large part in Mormonism. I don't remember where I read that, though. --Day 17:19, 19 January 2006 (EST)
- c.f. Wikipedia:Kolob. --Peter Farago 19:58, 19 January 2006 (EST)
"Kobol" is also the Persian word for "Heaven"...though of course, I think that's another case of Jospeh Smith "borrowing" something from another religion for Mormonism...but who am I to deride a major religion...--Ricimer 21:55, 19 January 2006 (EST)
Reorganization
In keeping with our goal not to give preferential treatment to Re-imagined Series content over Original Series content, I've reorganized this article to their chronological debuts, Original Series first, cleaning it up a bit as I went. It should make for a better article for a central locale in both sagas. --Spencerian 13:20, 19 July 2006 (CDT)
