Talk:Colonial Forces (Battlestar Galactica)

message: In the episode "Litmus" we see a lot of Sargeant at Arms Hadrian.  Sargeant does appear to be Hadrian's actual rank, as several people (Tyrol included) call her that.  The insgnia she wears is visible several times during her examination of Boomer and Tyrol.  It appears to be the same green central element as a Chief Petty Officer (without the black gap in Petty Officer) but without the two sidebars.  This might imply that Sargeant is a rank between PO and CPO.  Battlestar Wiki says (speculates, really) that she's a PO, and elsewhere gives a more detailed rank table and rank equivalence than our own.  How much of this is sourced to Wikipedia standards, I wonder? Are there any other sargeants shown in the series? If BSwiki is correct, that only marines are sargeants, then maybe we've not seen any.

message: This article is entirely in-universe plot summary and original research with no assertion of notability. Can anyone offer an appropriate redirect target beyond simply the franchise? The Twelve Colonies article (itself of dubious notability)? --EEMIV (talk) 20:47, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Redirect target 

message: First of all, bravo to you guys for the work you've been doing on BSG here on Wikipedia!  After doing considerable expansion of the Battlestar Galactica (ship) page, I've just discovered the BSG WikiProject.  I've added my name there, and would like to request some input from you.
I've started a new article on the Colonial Fleet at Colonial_Fleet_(Battlestar_Galactica).  Its focus is the Fleet as a whole, including civilian ships.  As stated in the article's introduction, the Fleet is both the main arena and primary driver of the franchise's drama, and thus needs separate treatment on Wikipedia.
However, currently, there is a redirect page pointing requests for "Colonial Fleet" to the "Colonial Forces" article.  This article's focus is exclusively military.  Thus, I'd like to propose removing the redirect.  What do you think?

replies: text: Both articles are laden with WP:OR and in-universe cruft. Merging them together would at least make clean-up easier. --EEMIV (talk) 04:01, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Due to new "Colonial Fleet" article, should we remove the current redirect of "Colonial Fleet" to "Colonial Forces?" 

message: This article remains poorly referenced, and is laden with in-universe plot summary and unsubstantiated speculation/original research. I have redirected it to the overall franchise article. The alternative location suggested above, cited only to primary sources and itself a bucket of original research, does not warrant the traffic a redirect would create. --EEMIV (talk) 03:38, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
