What is the "Dark Secret" in Galactic North?
[edit] Section Beginnings
Many of the sections on individual factions begin by saying "[faction] are a faction of humanity in the science fiction Revelation Space series written by Welsh author Alastair Reynolds." This seems a bit messy to me - surely if people end up at one of the sections they can glance to the head of the article to see what 'Factions in Revelation Space' means? Certainly if we are going to keep them then all sections should get the same treatment, instead of just some having that introduction.
I'm inclined to remove all such introductions, and put the information contained in them into the whole article's header. I came to the talk page first in case this is standard practice in articles of the form "[thing]s in the [fictional world] universe", although a quick look at some examples suggests it's not.
Anyone object?

- I think it's written this way because most of the sections were merged from their own articles, so they needed context originally. Go ahead and rewrite it. --Closedmouth (talk) 05:58, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Banshees?
I'm reading Redemption Ark right now. Perhaps I've missed it, but is there a description of who/what the Banshees are? 69.227.128.34 (talk) 23:30, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
