Revision as of 23:46, 16 September 2005

To-do list for articles about the Twelve Colonies.

General Considerations

  • Currently articles are titled in the form "X of/in the Twelve Colonies".
  • Should individual articles be of the general form "Colonial Religion", "Colonial Government", "Colonial History" (ie, the Colonials as a people, including the Twelve Colonies AND the Fleet) or should Fleet issues be given their own series?

Template

Template:Twelve Colonies Series exists to link main articles relating to this topic into a series. The following articles are in good shape:

Commentary or criticism apart from their place in this series should go to their respective talk pages.

The other links, Government and History, currently link to articles chosen somewhat arbitrarily, in order to provide a good idea of the ground we need to cover. Discussion of their direction should take place on this WikiProject, since the specific articles linked to are not necessarily good candidates for expansion.

The Twelve Colonies

The Article "The Twelve Colonies", and the articles on the individual colonies should all be considered stubs at the moment, and no additional information appears to be readily forthcoming. I would like to merge the contents of each of the articles on the individual colonies into the article for the Twelve Colonies. If you object, please state your case.

History

History currently links to Re-Imagined Series Timeline. The article History of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol is fanfic and should be deleted, but we need a more robust article located at History of the Twelve Colonies. Such an article should contain:

  • A conservative reading of the historical information available from the Sacred Scrolls on the exodus from Kobol and founding of the twelve colonies
  • A history of the inter-colonial fighting which lead to the Articles of Colonization
    • Including notes on Sagittaron's exploitation by the other colonies (Bastille Day)
  • A merger and redirect from the material in Cylon War

Government

Currently links to Government. Move to Government of the Twelve Colonies and expand.

  • As per general considerations: Should Fleet issues be separated from the former government of the Twelve Colonies?
