Talk:Vinea

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've added "Hibernation" to the list of key Vinean technologies. But perhaps it should be renamed to suspended animation or cold sleep? Secondly, doesn't their universal translators work according to some kind of telepathy? If yes, it should be mentioned.--Peter Knutsen 00:57, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture?

Where is this picture from? I'm an avid reader of the series, but this picture is unfamiliar. Is it endorsed by either Leloup or Dupuis? Moreover, wouldn't a picture of an actual Vinean (most preferably one of Khany and Vynka) be more in place in this article, rather than a picture of their planet for which an article is planned? -- Bakabaka 11:32, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Magnetic phisiology

I do not remeber reading anywhere that the Vinean's physiology is magnetic. If it were, I would expect that their biological and medical technologies (e.g. the magnetically induced hibernation used so frequently) would not have any effect on the Earthlings, who most certainly have biological physiology. -- Bakabaka 11:35, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Exact distance?

The article gives the Earth-Vinea distance as 'about 3,000,000' km. Reference from both my copy of 'Les 3 soleils de Vinéa', 'Trio in het Onbekende' (very early Dutch printing) and Triangulum Galaxy confirm that it's actually about 2.5 mln. I went ahead and changed the figure, but if anyone can come up with a convincing reason to revert it, please let me know. -- Bakabaka 22:26, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was Move. —Wknight94 (talk) 03:46, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Strong agree. The page sould be 'Vinea', with 'Vinean' and 'Vineans' linking to it, just like would be the case with a 'regular' nationality -- 'Russian' or 'Russians' will link to 'Russia'. -- Bakabaka 15:22, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
