[edit] Stargate Addresses
When off-world wouldn't Earth have different addresses? The symbols are based on constellations, as established in the film. However, constellations change when you go to another star. Therefore, are all the symbols the same throughout the galaxy based on Earth constellations, or do addresses change? For example, if I dial Earth from Chulak, am I dialing the same address as if I was on Langara dialing Earth? Afterall, the constellations of Chulak are not the same as the constellations of Langara. If the addresses change, how do the SG teams figure out how to dial home so fast? Bark 19:30, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
It could be the fact that the builders of the Stargate started on one particular planet and then using the constellations from that planet as a base for other Stargates dials. Why take the effort to redo the dialing pad when you already have one that work, right? However, you do have a point when it comes to seeing a different grouping of stars once you are in a different star system. But, lest say that you gated to a star-system that is about a 100 light-year from earth, and then seek out Earth’s constellations. Wouldn’t you still see some, if not most, of the constellation that you would see on Earth? For me, I think you would fine a few that match Earth’s Constellation. Ty 07 Sept 2006
There are 2 explanations:
The "real life" explanation: The only reason the symbols aren't different on every planet like in the movie is a budget reason, imagine the cost if the show crew had to rework the glyphs just about every week for 10 years!
The "show" explanation: Because the Ancients also started out on Earth and built the gates there using Earth constellations and they didn't feel like changing it for every planet, they wanted the symbols familiar to the other Ancients who also used the gates.

[edit] Stargate on Klorel's ship
Would not the address for it change as his ship moves about the galaxy? --Andy Janata 22:06, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
- Yes. That's why the SGC wasn't able to establish a connection to send Ferretti's team through once the ship entered hyperspace, and how Daniel used Earth as a point of origin to dial the Beta/Alpha site once they were in orbit. So that address is the planet Klorel's ship was orbiting, acquired by the P3R-233 aliens in the alternate reality and at least one of the sources/bases/supply lines from which the attack on their world originated. --MeekSaffron (Jaffa,Tree!) 19:51, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Images?
Great article, maybe i'll try to pic-ify it.--alfakim 12:35, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Genii address invalid?
The address listed for the Genii homeworld has seven glyphs. Since it's not extragalactic something's awry. Where are the Atlantis addresses sourced from? Bryan 00:09, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Atlantis planet's name is Lantea
It is - see gateworld.
http://www.gateworld.net/omnipedia/planets/l/lantea.shtml#
Thanks, Faris,
-Is that name (esp. spelling) canon? my guess is that it comes from what one would call the inhabitants; 'atlantians', (people from atlantis) orally shortened to lantians, it is easier to say, and it might not as obviously reveal the existence of the city to any unknowing wraith who might come across the name.
[edit] Gate addresses?
Where did the gate addresses for P3R-233, P3X-888, Eerebus and Langara/Kelowna come from? These were never shown on any episode or given on the net like the addresses for other planets were in the early years of the show. Can anyone verify these? Faris b 09:43, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Abydos and Heliopolis Have The Same Address?
According to this page, they do! (
) Surely this is incorrect. --Bark 19:20, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I fixed it. I only changed 1 glyph, the explaination in the episode is that they are very close together in space, thus, only 1 glyph is different, someone messed up putting it's address.
--Faris b 19:25, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- I remember the episode and knew the addresses were very close together. That's why I was looking closely at them on this page. I was curious how similar they were to each other. Then I discovered they were the same! That's pretty close, LOL. --Bark 13:03, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Earth Address from Atlantis
In SG-1 episode 10x03, Earth was dialed from Atlantis as (
) or (). Please verify the address given on the page (
).
Azi 19:01, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
I have just went ahead and changed it to the one you provided, that one with the unknown glyph seems to be from http://www.chevron26.com/estart1.html so I'm not sure how accurate it is.

[edit] Genii Homeworld has 7 Symbols
The Genii Homeworld entry has 7 symbols. Is the last one a point-of-origin symbol? If so, from where?
[edit] Something odd
On SGA 1x04: 38 Minutes near the very beginning, Atlantis is dialed by pusing five buttons and then the blue button at the bottom of the jumper's DHD.
Most of the symbols do not seem to match those available in the template. The second button pushed appears to be AtlantisGlyph22, but for example the first button pushed is quite clearly not AtlantisGlyph35, although that is somewhat similar. Why only five buttons? And why does that DHD have fake symbols? 67.76.153.199 17:37, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] PROBLEM WITH ARTICLE
There is a BIG problem with the article:
The following section in the list of Milky Way planets is totally invisible except in editing mode, can someone fix it? It seemed to start being corrupt sometime in June/July.
|- | Serita | | | A planet in the original Tollan solar system whose inhabitants destroyed themselves with Tollan techonology. (Never actually seen) |- | Tartarus | | | Homeworld of the Kull Warriors. |- | Desert Tok'ra base | P34-353J | 
| |- | Talthus | | | Original homeworld of the Talthuns. |- | Tobin | | | Homeworld of the extinct Tobin. |- | Tollan | P3X-775 | | The original homeworld of the Tollan. After the destruction of Serita, a neighboring inhabited planet, Tollan's orbital shift rendered it uninhabitable. Consequently, the Tollan people were forced to evacuate to a new homeworld, Tollana, while their homeworld suffered massive volcanic destruction. |- | Tollana | | 
| The second homeworld of the Tollan until their destruction, it did not have a Stargate until the Tollan built one. |- | Unity's planet | P3X-562 | 
| The planet which SG-1 discovered a race of living crystals who could take the form of an individual but were destroyed by the Goa'uld |- | Urgo's Planet | P4X-884 | 
| Planet where SG-1 encountered the alien artificial intelligence named Urgo. |- | Velona | P3X-636 | | Home to the Ancient Orlin.[1] |-
Sorry for all the code, basically, ALL these planets in the list are NOT, repeat NOT showing up on the page but they do show up when you edit it, I am not an expert with this type of coding but I couldn't find anything wrong with it. Can someone look into it?
Faris b 02:44, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing that out. It was a problem with the citation for Pegasus Project, someone forgot to close the citation so it was putting all that text in it. Konman72 02:58, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Wow, that was quick! Thank you very much. I noticed it when editing earlier. Also, the Urgo planet address is visible partially onscreen in a certain scene and was given on the old SG-1 showtime website, that is the source.
Faris b 03:18, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- Sure thing, thanks for spotting it. Konman72 03:27, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Satedan Technology
Not sure who filled in the original info on Sateda, but they only had WW II level technology, were limited to radio no television or video of any kind, and had no energy weapons. In fact the radio broadcast was a direct shoutout to one of Winston Churchill's addresses. The energy weapon Ronon Dax uses was found on another world. They were a just recovered feudal society, hence the Chieftan who's referred to on the radio. From the radio you also learn that it took them 200 years to recover from the last culling. None of the Satedans used energy weapons at any time during the episode, they just used regular heavy firearms, probably designed to kill Wraiths. --Basique 03:22, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
I agree and came up with the same conclustion last week regarding their tech, but where did the timeframe of 200 years come from?
Faris b 06:36, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
- It's on the radio in the background, during the scene where Ronan's wife is first introduced and he tells her that they have no hope. --Basique 12:57, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Land of Light?
Ok, this may seem weird but what ever happend to The Land of Light? They stopped being mentioned sometime in season 2 or so, they were frequently mentioned as the place that took in refugees many times early on. Did they run out of space?
Faris b 08:12, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] P3X-595
Should P3X-595 be included? P3X-595 is a planet briefly mentioned in Emancipation [1.3] [according to http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Stargate_SG-1 ]
Capt. Carter: What a relief, I've never been so happy to see you guys!
Col. O'Neill: Well, sure you have. Remember that time on P3X-595 you drank that stuff that made you take off--
Capt. Carter: [interrupting] We won't get into that right now!
I concede this is perhaps not the most pressing matter for this list, but it would help to give an idea as to how complete the list needs to be. (a5y 23:38, 1 September 2006 (UTC))
I'd say yes, I thought I added it to the list myself once but I guess it either got reverted or I didn't do it. I've done too much to keep track of what I've done on this page.

[edit] Ancient address pronunciation
I just tried to figure out a few data on the Ancient method of pronouncing gate addresses, based on the examples of "Praclarush Taonas" and "Taoth Vaclarush". Unfortunately, the two seem to be incompatible. --Grey Knight 11:21, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Basically, the writers didn't think it through and only made it up to sound cool. But here is what I figured out.
PRA-CLA-RUSH-TA-O-NAS-AT
that's 6 and the AT being the point of origin for Earth. The other names are only 5 syllables so there's no real basis of it.
Faris b 22:27, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Jack identifies one of the symbols on-screen as "ush", so I think the 'r' goes in "clar". That makes:
- pra
- clar
- ush
- tay
- oh
- nas
- at
"Taoth Vaclarush" is, as you mentioned, a syllable too short, and would imply a gate address of 
rather than 
in any case. --Grey Knight 01:25, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] MANY french language links
am I the only one who get about 55 identical links to the french version of the template for stargate adresses in the box marked "in other languages" on the far left? (below the wikipedia logo). If this is coded into the article, I could not find out where.
- I'm getting this too. I messed around with the article a little but couldn't get it to work. Guess someone else will have to figure this one out. Konman72 19:36, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
I tried removing all foreign language links and it still didn't work.
Faris b 19:38, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Did this just start today? I even did a page history check and they're all messed up like this. If it's any help and this should be viewed ASAP, Google's cache of this page still shows the non-errored version and it's from Oct. 12.
View it quickly as they redo the cache about once a week.
Faris b 00:34, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Also, I tried messing around on French wiki and no luck.
Faris b 00:38, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- We should report this to the people who operate thw wikisoftware. Tobyk777 02:40, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Ok, let's do it then.
Faris b 05:05, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
right here Tobyk777 03:56, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- Try the village pump (esspecially the technical one) or help desk next time. I just happen to glance at the admin page since cool stuff sometimes gets reported there. A template, Template:Milky Way Gate Address is transcluded multiple times on the page, and each one was adding the french interwiki link. I fixed it here here by adding the noinclude so the interwiki link doesn't get used on the pages that use the template. Reguards, Kevin_b_er 04:16, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
A big thanks for fixing it from all of us!
Faris b 13:59, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Address prefix letter
In addition to the P (planet) and M (moon) prefixes mentioned in the article, the list includes B (B30-255 and BP6-3Q1) and K (KS7-535) ones. Any ideas on what these signify? --Grey Knight 18:59, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] (Joke, out of subject) The target planet cannot be found error...
P4X-404 return an error: http://sdeath.free.fr/divers/sgexplorer.htm ;-)
(The page is from me but I based it on a existing image, if someone knows his author...)
