Also: It's not present in this article itself, but i noticed in another article or two that references to the Bussard collectors are being made in the main body rather than ''Appendices'' — are we sure we want to do that?

| - | :The Bussard collector purpose is given on the 2nd page of the ''Leda II'' entry in the FFC 9, and it is only known that it refers to the red grilles on other flagships because of visual similarity and because it makes reference that the ''Leda II'' mounted them like ''Ajax'' class flagships. The problem is that the information is broken up all over from various sources. For example, the ''Leda II'' entry in FFC 9 mentions neutron beam cannons as main guns using new accelerators but only mentions low caliber rapid fire beam cannons around the bridge for use against fighters. However the ''Leda II'' entry in the Mechanic and Seiyu Databook does mention the main guns as being superior, though does not name as neutron beam cannons, yet the rapid fire beam cannons are given as electron beam cannons. Ultimately Wright Staff was involved in both these sources, although there are some very subtle differences in some nuggets of data such as the ''Ajax'' class being referred to as ''Achilleus'' class in the Data Book. Since the data is scattered between sources, if it were just a simple listing of every piece of information plus source, it would become just an incoherent listing.

Revision as of 20:39, 23 October 2011
Organisation of apocrypha / licensed information
The organisation of the Appendices section sort of bothers me right now, because we've got sources broken up all over the place. Specifically, we have information from the same FFC source appearing under Background information, under the top-level Apocrypha section, and then under the Fleet File Collection section.
I guess we are still not 100% set in our organisation, so there's not yet a 'right' way of doing this, but to me it seems like the logical set-up would be to have as much of the 'apocrypha'-type stuff grouped together as possible, right? This is generally how other wikis like Memory Alpha and Bulbapedia are set up (with a clear division of sources).
On the other hand it looks like we've combined sources in the Licensed sources section in order to form a narrative, so maybe that wouldn't work after all.... I don't have those in front of me right now so i'm not sure what's being pulled from where. These licensed/apocrypha additions are mostly new territory so i don't know

- The Bussard collector purpose is given on the 2nd page of the Leda II entry in the FFC 9, and it is only known that it refers to the red grilles on other flagships because of visual similarity and because it makes reference that the Leda II mounted them on the sides of its hull like Ajax class flagships. The problem is that the information is broken up all over from various sources. For example, the Leda II entry in FFC 9 mentions neutron beam cannons as main guns using new accelerators but only mentions low caliber rapid fire beam cannons around the bridge for use against fighters. However the Leda II entry in the Mechanic and Seiyu Databook does mention the main guns as being superior, though does not name as neutron beam cannons, yet the rapid fire beam cannons are given as electron beam cannons. Ultimately Wright Staff was involved in both these sources, although there are some very subtle differences in some nuggets of data such as the Ajax class being referred to as Achilleus class in the Data Book. Since the data is scattered between sources, if it were just a simple listing of every piece of information plus source, it would become just an incoherent listing.
