Talk:List of ships (The Culture)

[edit] Merge
Sounds fine to me. --Guinnog 14:44, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Disagree. This is a big enough article in its own right, if they are merged the other article will be %90 a ship names list with a small section about types. --Shogun 01:34, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Also disagree, for the same reasons. The subject area is, somewhat scarily, large enough to warrant keeping the articles seperate. 213.166.72.5 09:32, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Naming
Should ship names be italicised as per standard publishing tradition?
[edit] VFP vs. (d)ROU
VFP is an euphemism. To quote "Use of Weapons": "And what the hell's a "very fast picket" anyway?" "New name for a (Demilitarized) Rapid Offensive Unit"..."It's supposed to sound better."
Also, the "D" in ROU is round-bracketed throughout Banks' work.
- Fair enough, I did not know this was described thus. PS, please sign your talk page posts with four tildes like this ~~~~ MadMaxDog 05:24, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
