[edit] Bio-neural gel pack

Bio-neural gel pack (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

An in-universe, uncited technical explanation that does not attempt to explain, if any, real-world significance. More appropriate for Memory Alpha. Similar rationale and problems as these items. --EEMeltonIV 02:08, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect to Intrepid class starship (Star Trek)#Appearance and technical information? Admittedly, that article barely asserts any more real-world notability than this, and is "sourced" solely to Memory Alpha. cab 02:35, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
• redirect thank you cab... I didn't want to vote delete, but I couldn't justify a keep... yours is the perfect solution!Balloonman 02:42, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

• I agree a redirect is better -- I did it a while ago, but it was recently reverted. Rather than enter into a back-and-forth as happened with M4 and Admiral Komack, figured I'd just bring it up here and reach a broader consensus. --EEMeltonIV 03:04, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

• Copyvio Question This article was created 18 March 2006. The Memory Alpha article on B/N Gel Packs as of 4 January 2006 is a near word-for-word copy of at least the first two paragraphs. I recall from a previous AfD that MA uses a CC license variant that means we can't transwiki to them; is the reverse true? And it just seems like a copyvio to me and thus should be Speedy deleted if it is. Even if it ain't, there's nothing here that MA doesn't have, and so I'd then change to Delete if not speedied.

Answering my own question, Memory Alpha CC License, specifies that material from there can be copied but not for commerical use. Wikipedia GFDL specifically gives permission for noncommercial or commercial use. Thus it is (AFAICT) a copyvio. LaughingVulcan 04:20, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy delete per LaughingVulcan, this is clearly a copyvio as the text is substantially lifted from the Memory Alpha wiki and the licensing is incompatible with the GFDL. Arkyan • ^(talk) 15:51, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep probably needs a rewrite, though. Send it through google translator back and forth a couple times and it'll make it no longer copyvio. SakotGrimshine 14:13, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete and redirect as copyvio, to Intrepid class starship. 132.205.44.134 18:34, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Send it through google translator back and forth a couple times and it'll make it no longer copyvio. That always works! SakotGrimshine 09:47, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
