Talk:Babylon 5's use of the Internet

message: JMS's GEnie posts are available at jmsnews. Here a couple relevant ones about Franke's selection. He says that Franke was "suggested here numerous times" and that the discussions "bumped him to the top of our list and helped motivate us to take a look", but nowhere does he credit any single person directly. The only reason it does is because Jerry added it himself. Unfortunately, that's not a verifiable source. - EurekaLott 20:44, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I wish I still had access to SFRT archives from that time period, as those would confirm it. I'll edit it to make it more generic. Jerry Kindall 02:17, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Franke credit

message: rastb5m is about the newsgroup and its direct communication between fans and the creator of the show. Babylon 5's use of the Internet is about all of the various ways that B5 (a show launched when the Web was a research project only, and conceived before the Web) interacted with the public using the evolving Internet technologies of the day. There's substantial and unique ground to cover in both articles. -Harmil 17:49, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge is a poor idea 

message: :Image:B5discs.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:B5discs.jpg

message: This was proposed at the now closed AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated., since it was clear the article would be kept, but not so clear what the consensus was on a merge. So, let us discuss. Beeblbrox (talk) 17:32, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: *Comment Note that I've implemented this as part of the afd-prompted update.  No one seems to have objected, and I think the use of summary style has eliminated the need for a merge. Jclemens (talk) 01:57, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

message: So this is about how a fictional space station uses the Terran Internet? Then of course the title makes a lot of sense!!  --91.10.42.59 (talk) 22:55, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
