[edit] The trigram itself is NOT the DI logo

Out of curiosity, why is Cloverfield's inclusion of the Bagua "clearly the Dharma logo"? Are we changing history now? One of the beauties of wikipedia is how researching one topic can lead you to research many other connected ones. In this case the bagua reference is a dead end --217.14.11.181 (talk) 20:16, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

DHARMA Initiative → Dharma Initiative — Okay, I'll try this again since the page got moved with no discussion and then the redirect accidentally edited so it couldn't be moved back. The title is an acronym, however according to Acronym and initialism#Case, acronyms pronounced as words or of a certain length are not necessarily always written in all capitals. Also this is the name of a group from a television show, and the show itself does not in fact use all capitals, as can be seen in this screenshot. --DocNox 05:21, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

This article has been renamed from DHARMA Initiative to Dharma Initiative as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 06:05, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:800px-3x21 looking glass hatch.jpg

Image:800px-3x21 looking glass hatch.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] ERROR

The article refers to the planet Mercury as the Morning Star and Evening Star in the discussion "Station ? : the Staff = Caduceus which in greek/roman mythology refers to mercury (morning/evening star)." Venus, not Mercury is the morning/evening star. See: morning star and hesperus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.65.21.231 (talk) 05:19, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Temple is a Station?

I don't remember there ever being any confirmation on the temple being a station. I thought the Temple was an actual Temple, and I don't think it has ever been classifed as a station. If this is true then there should be some kind of confirmation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alotofsparetime (talk • contribs) 13:59, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

On the map which whos the temple, there is a dharma logo. Tabor (talk) 23:47, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Connection to Sharks

In the section about the Hydra station, a possibility is mentioned of a connection between the station and a shark seen in a previous episode. The episode featured a shark with the DHARMA logo near it's fin. However, in the article about the aforementioned episode, it is stated that the creators of Lost wanted this to be nothing more than an easter egg. So shouldn't the part about sharks be amended? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.110.104.152 (talk) 17:58, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Staff - Mothers that have given birth?

The section for The Staff states "It is a room, as told by Juliet, used for the mothers that have given birth on the island. It is where the mothers are taken to die."

Near as I can tell, these women that die haven't actually given birth - they generally die while still pregnant and in their second trimester ("Most of the women made it into the middle of their second trimester, nobody made it to their third." - Juliet in D.O.C.). I don't think a single woman that ever actually gave birth on the island died in that room - the only two women known to have given birth on the island lived on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.6.202.64 (talk) 12:12, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
