From Gineipaedia, the Legend of Galactic Heroes wiki

Revision as of 18:58, 6 May 2011

This page is for discussion of various issues related to either the Legend of Galactic Heroes franchise or Gineipaedia itself that do not involve specific articles or policies.

Galactic Geography

We need to figure things out. (And make a Galaxy page). We know that the Empire is located predominanty in the Orion Arm. The FPA is located primarily in the Sagitarius Arm. There are a number of conflicting maps of FPA/Imperial territory (most agreeing that the combined territories occupy about half of the Milky Way). Are there any detailed, primarly-level maps out there (from either the OVAs or Novels) we could use to try and determine what, exactly, the shape of things is?

Featured Article Selection

Wouldn't it be cool if each time the front page loaded, the "Featured Article" list was different? Let's make a list of articles we want to be included as "featured." In terms of general criteria, let's say that they most contain more than 1 section and be mostly complete. Once we have 25 or so total, we can set it up. Sound good?

I would suggest the folowing articles: Inferior Genes Exclusion Act; Legnica; Tanaka Yoshiki; Annerose von Grünewald; and Bloody Night Canary 22:59, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

New Galactic Empire v. Old Galactic Empire

Lohengramm's Neue Reich presents us with an interesting problem: because Reinhard became emperor through technically legal methods (the forced abdication of the last Goldenbaum ruler) the 'Neue Reich" is, basically, the same entity as der Alten Reich. Two dynasties, one empire. But due to the numerous social and political reforms he initiated and Hildegarde von Mariendorf continued, as well has the annexation of the Free Planets Alliance, the social, political, territorial and even economic characteristics of Reinhard's empire are radically different than those of the Empire under the Goldenbaum Dynasty.

So do we view the Neue Reich as a separate political entity with as separate article (the New Galactic Empire) or do we consolidate everything on the Galactic Empire page? For a historical analog to consider, the transitions from Han to T'sao Wei to Jin dynasties in China were all legal (and also forced abdications) transitions, so the Chinese nation was basically the "same" from dynasty to dynasty, despite, you know, vast social, political, territorial and economic differences. Most, if not all academic sources, however, tend to divide Chinese history between dynasties as though each were a separate state. Wikipedia does this as well. Canary 20:01, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Detail of Production Staff articles?

I'm curious about how much depth we want to include in the production staff pages, and how much interest we think the community will have in these pages. Other than basic work histories (filmographies, etc.) should we try to include basic biographical information? Canary 20:01, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Gineipaedia Icon

What do you guys thing, should the Brunhild in the icon be slightly larger? I feel like the ship's length is too well matched with the Goldenbaum seal, and I'd like to see a bit more obvious of an overlap. Maybe not. (This is basically just a sample discussion topic).

Personally I'd prefer the Goldenlohen crest. :) Vympel 07:40, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

I would, as well. Unfortunately it's too impractical--the Goldenlowe crest has too many details that just don't work in silhouette, and the only decent images we have of it are very fan-arty. Canary 17:45, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
