:I read the article in detail yesterday but didn't post here. Basically my feelings were that the older article was better written as you said it dealt more with Nero than the events of the movie. In addition it appears to be a problem among quite a few articles here. — [[User:Morder|Morder]] ([[User talk:Morder|talk]]) 21:53, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Yah, I went ahead and restored the previous version, but there were a few issues (some of which Morder and I had discussed) which I have fixed. For example, I made the "Attack on Earth" section more focused on Nero's actions, since it seemed to me it was going a bit astray. Right now, I think the article is pretty good as is. I agree with Morder, though, there are quite a few character pages that don't focus entirely on that character. Obviously there will be times when additional details that are not about the article's subject will be necessary, but those should be kept as concise as possible. The more focused an article is on the subject, the better, I think. --[[User:Shran|From Andoria with Love]] 22:01, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Revision as of 00:22, 17 December 2009

The comic gives Nero's wife the name of Mandana. Does it belong here, or is it considered non-canon?- JustPhil 13:50, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Comics are non-canon. Golden Monkey 22:52, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Recent edits

With all due respect to Crimsondawn, I don't think his recent revisions to this article are an improvement. For one thing, it was stated in the edit summary that it was a "rewrite with more detail," yet the article became 3,366 characters smaller. I also prefer the wording and format of the previous version. However, since I contributed much to the previous version, I may be a bit biased. As it's hard for me to be objective in this case, I wanted to bring it up here and see what others thought. I'm not saying we should completely revert Crimsondawn's version; maybe we can keep some of the new version while maintaining the detail and wording of the older version. Or something like that. Anyway, have at it! --From Andoria with Love 01:27, December 11, 2009 (UTC)

I agree that several things were written better before and I may go and rewrite them to match...The initial paragraphs were much better in the previous version for instance... — Morder (talk) 01:33, December 11, 2009 (UTC)

Personally, I think the way it was previously written focused more on Nero than it does now. For example, a lot of the current "origins" section (which I just reworked a bit) is about Spock's attempts to stop the supernova. For this reason, and those above, I am sorely tempted to restore the article to its previous state. Would anybody have a problem with that? --From Andoria with Love 03:34, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
