The Alterans Article should be merged with this article as they both contain information on the same race. -- Awar 05:12, 29 October 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Split
...Doesn't this run the risk of being incredibly confusing for people? -- SFH 20:31, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- I'm working on negating the confusion. :) - Sikon 03:17, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Oppose merge
I STRONGLY oppose the merge of Ancients into this article. Although I didn't participate in the discussion on IRC (sine I don't know how it works) that decided that this article should now be the main article for the Ancients, I don't understand how people come to accept this. This name, was as far as I know, mentioned ONCE in the series, while the name Ancients appears nearly every time when there are talks about this race. OK, it is the name of their race in their native language but if we follow this suit we have to call the Stargate the Astria Portas. I don't want to sound rude but it would be best to merge the article back into the Ancient article. What do the other people think about this?
P.S.: Can someone tell me how and with which arguments it was decided on IRC that this article becomes the official Ancient article? Diabound00 18:29, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- The only reason we didn't move Stargate to Astria Porta is because we've heard the Ancients refer to them as Stargates as well. If we hadn't heard this in the show, I'd be perfectly okay with moving it to Astria Porta. The reason it was moved, however, is because we try to use the native names wherever possible. —Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 19:23, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- As far as I know no Ancient called himself or his race the Anqueetas. This name was used only in one untranslated text and although this Wikia is mostly in-universe we should still go by the more common name (and because I have to say that I think that Anqueetas sounds silly). Also shouldn't we merge Tau'ri into humans then? Diabound00 19:42, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- Additionally, we are an English language wiki, so we might want to reconsider this. -- SFH 20:51, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
