[edit] Pride and Prejudice
Hello. In answer to your queries:
Although I did get the reviews online, it wasn't from a publicly-accessible site - I found them in the InfoTrack database, which is a big searchable database of British newspaper content which you can get access to if you are a member of a British library. However, it should be easy enough to use it to find some more reviews from the time - I shall try and get hold of a few for you, with the appropriate citation details.
As for adaption and adaptation - as far as I am aware "adaption" isn't a real word, although I think it is quite a common spelling mistake, even by native speakers! "Adaptation" should always be used.
Regarding the pictures... I can't say I have any particular preference! I am rubbish on the visual side of things, sorry... Have very little aesthetic sense at all! Angmering (talk) 20:22, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Starship
Well, in my opinion, whomever said that "starship" is too much like Star Trek is simply wrong. "Starship" is a generic term used for any ship that travels amongst the stars. If it were simply a ship that stayed inside a solar system (aka, not lightspeed-capable: the F-301/302 and Death Gliders), then "spaceship" is appropriate. But for a general article containing multiple ships, the majority of which are lightspeed-capable, "starship" is by far the most appropriate term ( are the only which aren't hyperspace-capable). Star Trek does not dictate the naming of all other sci-fi terms, and I firmly believe that "starship" should be used over "spaceship" or (ack) "starcraft". — Huntster (t • @ • c) 23:10, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Radek Zelenka
I removed the tag. My mistake. Sorry. -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:16, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Article mergers
Hey Sgeureka, nice job on the merges, as I've mentioned before. However, I notice that two critical things were not performed. One, make sure that for any images that you retain from the merged article, you update the fair-use rationales so that they link to the current page...else the bots that roam will mark them for deletion as missing a valid rationale. Second, when you merge multiple pages into one, leaving the original talk pages behind, make sure you link to those talk pages on the new page's talk, as I've done at Talk:Ancient starships in Stargate. This is just so people can look back and see previous discussions. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 01:40, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- I'll keep the talk page notifications in mind (in fact, I am thinking of adding {{merged}} to all the SG lists, which may solve this "problem" as well). About the images, as far as I know, image bots do recognize redirects, and I always fix double-redirects when I merge articles, so everything should be fine. – sgeureka t•c 08:07, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
