[edit] Revising this article

The following is mostly copied from Talk:The Ship Who Sang:

Rather than merge this article into The Ship Who Sang, I suggest a change of title to Brains (Ship series) (or something similar) and changing the content to a description of the brains as a whole, not just those who serve as brainships, and their roles in the society of the Ship books. McCaffrey and her various co-writers put plenty of explanatory and background material into the books that could be used here. In fact, I might just volunteer for the task--but I'll have to ask my mom to re-loan me her copies of the books and read the series again, which will take a while, especially since I'm currently entrenched in re-reading the Crystal Singer books. -- Pennyforth 05:38, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

I agreed with Pennyforth. There are a couple of other wiki articles that mention brainships without explanation (Cyborg, Nebulae in fiction, Starfire (board wargame) and others) and I think the concept itself warrants its own page. Unfortunately I do not have the books to research this subject and come up with a thorough definition. However I'm going to be bold, and put down some words as best I can, remove the booklist and simply point to the Ship Who Sang series page (it's called Brain & Brawn Ship series on McCaffrey's website). I've removed the merger suggestion from the page as well, since as it now stands it's no longer a duplicate. (unfortunately my login session expired, but I made those edits.) I'm open to discussion if someone objects. Tkech (talk) 17:17, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
