Talk:Ithassa Region Stellar Cartography

Page Necessary?

There is a page for the Ithassa Region, wouldn't it make more sense to merge this page and that one? Why have two pages explaining the Ithassa Region? Especially considering that the supposed entry page is almost empty of information. I'll leave it for 3 days if anyone cares please comment if not the two pages will be merged.

The Ithassa Region page should be basic (although not to the extent it currently is) whilst this one goes into more detail. I'd maybe look a bit at the balance. The Ithassa Region page might want to look at other areas in more detail too, perhaps move history there, etc...

I see this as an equivelant for the Ithassa Region page as any of the pages on wikipedia which look at the geography of a country. Perhaps use w:Geography of the United Kingdom and w:United Kingdom as guides? Of course headings won't be the same (mountains in space?) but the basi ideas behind the articles perhaps...

If you also look at the ship pages, several have or are developing pages which are guides to the ship, in addition to the main page of the ship. Deep Space 17 is an example which springs straight to my mind, although there are better ones.

Also, please sign your comments with 3 or 4 tildes, like ~~~~ so we know who has made the comment. 4 tildes will automatically turn into a link to your wiki userpage and a time stamp. - Jay 06:00, 7 April 2006 (CDT)

I see your point, I may merge the history into the region page. Unfortunatly not much information on this area is available to me at this point so I would require others to add in points such as the shape of the region and other 'geographic' information. Thanks for your comment and the ~ trick - Sirkit 14:54, 7 April 2006 (CDT)

I may be simming in the region but I have little more than this to go on myself... As for the Tildes; any time. - Jay 18:11, 7 April 2006 (CDT)

Layout

If you're basing this on Trinity Sector, I'm planning to attack that with a sledgehammer when it's quieter (poss next week?). I personally don't like the idea of a long list of one line synopsis, not in the style this currently is. Think it looks messy. - Lt. Salak^Talk 12:32, 2 April 2008 (EDT)

It's far better than having all this scattered through several articles, which is how I found it. Wasn't basing it on Trinity... I just wanted an article that would be easy to manage and easy for contributors to update. The important thing is it's here. We can edit/modify the information so it doesn't look as messy. ADD-ON: Unfortunately there just isn't enough information on what was contributed to do what I'd really prefer to do. DCody 12:46, 2 April 2008 (EDT)

What did you have in mind? I was just commenting to be sure this was thought interim. Oh, and I do agree it's better in one place. - Lt. Salak^Talk 12:53, 2 April 2008 (EDT)

• chuckle* It's interim... Preferably, I would love it if we could encourage our members to further develop the exiting systems so they could support their own articles (we lucked out a bit more with the TE-IV on information about the system), but, failing that... I'm not sure what's going to look pleasing to the eye just yet. DCody 13:02, 2 April 2008 (EDT)

Have you seen Cart'hen III? The info there can prob do with trimming down, but I'm thinkin gmore the layout. The region nav on the right, a system contents bar top left. Not sure where planet specs can come in yet (prob in the text) but I don't like that template either, lol. - Lt. Salak^Talk 13:16, 2 April 2008 (EDT)
