[edit] Classification Chart

I had made a chart of the four-letter classifications with species, but I'm not sure how to put it up here. Can anyone help? Thanks --Japonai Narya 21:21, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

- - - 2 months later, and I have the chart up (finally!). Any help/imput is truly appreciated. Should it be in this article or a separate one?--Japonai Narya 21:21, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Don't think it really needs a separate entry. Putting it in this one should be fine. Extreme Unction 12:14, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm presently looking at Hospital Station, and it gives the gravity of Cinruss as <1/12th Earthnorm. I remember verifying the 1/8th figure given in the article from either Star Surgeon or Star Healer. This is either an inconsistency or a retcon - any idea which? --Kizor 14:30, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Likely inconsistency. There are a few such instances in the series (some physical classifications, the Telfi, etc.). Either value is acceptable from Prilica's physiology, although a twelfth of a gee becomes difficult from a planetary science perspective.Michaelbusch 15:31, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

I find your education in planetary science extremely cool. Thanks - I see no reason not to go with the more likely figure, especially with this discussion on the talk page. --Kizor 16:13, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

As I read through more of the series, it's clear that time is passing. Conway goes from his twenties to greying. Is there any indication of the rate? I've heard that it corresponds to real life, which would be a great idea, but it'd have to be sourced. --Kizor 00:45, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, so much for that. Code Blue - Emergency refers to the events of Star Surgeon (a 24-year gap) as having happened nearly 20 years before. --Kizor 01:18, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Also, holy carp. White had been practicing. --Kizor 02:12, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I think the rate of aging in this high-tech universe is somewhat slower than real life, although it does become apparent, especially from Mind Changer. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Freiberg (talk • contribs) 15:21, August 21, 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Wikiquote

I am going to put some quotes up on Wikiquote, and have a link between the two wikis. Anyone object?--Freiberg, Let's talk!, contribs 15:23, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:HospitalStation1962Paperback.png

Image:HospitalStation1962Paperback.png 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
