Babylon 5

What is the source for this:

"Minbari die if exposed to temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius for too long."

I can't remember hearing or reading about this anywhere.

[edit] A question about references

Does WP policy provide that fictional subjects not need references? Thanks. WVhybrid 22:28, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

No. The guideline on citing sources does not specify any exceptions for fictional subjects. Pat Berry 22:44, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Remaining Minor Races Merge

I propose that the remaining minor races: Abbai, Gaim, Markab, Pak'ma'ra, and Vree should be merged into the article as many other minor races were merged into. The positive side to doing so would be to give a more concise, and encylopedic entry of the races (which would remove a lot of the cruft that already exists in many of the articles) and bring them to manageable lengths.

It's fine with me, but I'd tag the articles with the {{mergeto}} template and wait a while before performing any merges, so that people are made aware of your proposal and have a chance to respond. - EurekaLott 15:17, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

That was my next step. Done it. Radagast83 03:14, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

I think that this acticle deserves, and should remain in, its own independant page. Nubula 10:22, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dilgar

Where did this article's information about the Dilgar come from? There's only one episode of the series ("Deathwalker") that provides any details about them, and virtually none of this information comes from that episode. What is its source? Pat Berry 22:39, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

JMS wrote/planned substantial notes beyond what is directly contained in the series. It's likely this material is added in roundabout, indirect means from these original sources. --Eyrian 23:02, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Or perhaps somebody just made it up. Unless this material is substantiated by published quotations from JMS, he can't be cited as the source. Pat Berry 23:25, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

It's consistent with the canon material from the Babylon 5 Wars rulebook. --Eyrian 23:31, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
