[edit] Rogue-related entries

SGCommand dropped me a note about spinning off more entries in realtion to the Rogiverse (sorry best I could come up with). So I thought I'd make a list as once we start to create various related entries some information is going to be needed also be added for background:

Existing:

Needed:

Possibles:

So thoughts and ideas? I can sketch out entries but it will take a bit ofwork to go through the various stories and see how they all fit in and there is probably the need for some fan speculation, etc. as some of the canon has never been fully explained. (Emperor 14:40, 6 May 2006 (UTC))

OK all those entries are now created - if only as stubs for now. Feel free to expand them (I'll work on the relevant bibliographies and the like. I'll also drop the list into the 2000AD to do list). Other ideas for entries:
  • Rogue Trooper (games) - spun off from here to allow more focus on the various games
  • G.I. (comics) - to describe what G.I.s are. I thought G.I. worked best as it can stand for both Genetic Infantryman and Infantrywoman too. As we have varous entries for various prominent G.I.s it seems worth doing (when do link it into this disambiguation page G.I.)
Anyone got any input? (Emperor 01:46, 9 May 2006 (UTC))
OK that has all gone nicely. Next question is: Do we need a Rogue Trooper category in the same way we have a Judge Dredd one? I'd say yes as there are possibly a dozen entries now and this would drag them all together. Thoughts? (01:20, 16 May 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Merge with Friday?

Keep I can't see any good reason for it - Friday is a separate character with a separate storyline (and is technically a separate title) (Emperor 14:34, 20 June 2006 (UTC))

Keep - It deserves it own article --SGCommand (talk • contribs) 15:42, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Merge - It's basically just a reboot of the same character. Artw 16:51, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep - Although Friday was originally a reboot of the original, it was later developed into a seperate character, and there was a crossover between the two. Richard75 17:54, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Merge- At least until it becomes large enough to justify having its own article. - 81.178.86.15 03:48, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Merger

  • Oppose Could do with MAJOR expansion --SGCommand (talk • contribs) 14:24, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep The main objection (see the Nu-Earth talk page) seems to be that it doesn't have information not in the main article - this is, as SGCommand says, is not an arguement for merging but an arguement for expanding the Nu-Earth article. (Emperor 14:41, 6 July 2006 (UTC))
  • Merge merge Nu-earth article and redirect unitl such time as the Rogue Trooper article gets overlong. GraemeLeggett 15:03, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge - not only is there no information on the Nu-Earth page not present here, I don't really see any potential for expansion that wouldn't work better as an extension to this page. Artw 01:03, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge - Again, doesn't contain enough information to justify having its own article. Unless it's the case that Nu-Earth is the setting in other titles that I'm ignorant of, in which case that would be a pretty good argument for expansion. - 81.178.86.15 03:48, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Nu-Earth separate. With time it will expand. Anthony Appleyard 08:45, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Changes

Added an infobox The Taste of Monkeys 05:34, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Couple of things, I corrected Finley-Day's name in the infobox since it said Jeffery rather than Gerry. I also slightly amended the "immune to all chemical and biological attacks" to "Practically all" considering the plantform that affect Rogue at the polar zone and later in the Fall of Dix-1 storyline. It maybe seems a bit pedantic, but we might as well put more effort into it.

[edit] Graphic Novels

Is it worth putting in details about the graphic novels. For one thing it might help newcomers to the series. Especially when you consider the sheer number of reprints, it could help a newcomer know what books to pick up, it can also detail the books post "Traitor General" or classic Rogue era, which I am unfortunately ignorant of. It might also be worth mentioning the US Eagle Comics reprint of Rogue in colour and the reaction of fans to it. What do you all think. Douglasnicol 15:32, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
