::I understand and agree. As I said, there isn't really rhyme nor reason for me switching back and forth.

:::Also, the planets in the [[Valcari system]] have indigenous names given to them, much like the Sol system, which is why even though they'd officially be Valcari I, Valcari II, etc, they also have the names given to them by the indigenous species of that system, the [[Valcarian]]s (see [[Valcari III]]/Joma-I discussion page).-[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] 11:05, 3 June 2008 (EDT) | :::Also, the planets in the [[Valcari system]] have indigenous names given to them, much like the Sol system, which is why even though they'd officially be Valcari I, Valcari II, etc, they also have the names given to them by the indigenous species of that system, the [[Valcarian]]s (see [[Valcari III]]/Joma-I discussion page).-[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] 11:05, 3 June 2008 (EDT) | ||
==Planetary Names== | |||
The way I've been doing it is this: if a planet has an indigenous sentient population, I'll name the planet page after whatever the people call it (ie. Earth as opposed to Sol III). Unlike our solar system, however, the other planets that DON'T have populations, will get named after their stellar positioning in the system (ie. Should be Sol I, not Mercury, Sol II, not Venus - though the naming would be mentioned/explained in the page write-up). Again...no real rule here, though maybe we want to make one and stick with it.-[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] 11:15, 3 June 2008 (EDT) | |||
