:In this specific case, it is in quotation marks, which indicates that it's just for ease of reference. To address your broader point, I would point out that Camacho's Caballeros hail from the Southwestern Trinity, a trio of worlds that gets its name from the fact that the planets are in the "SW corner" of the IS. --[[User:Scaletail|Scaletail]] 17:43, 18 February 2009 (PST)

::Well, you got a point there. I just thought it felled awkward to use north etc. regarding to a stellar map. I'm just in the process of "rereading" all the CBT novels, and I agree that sometimes the authors drop back to use classic directions instead of core-ward etc.. Using the ones with the shape of the galaxy as reference frame (instead of a planetary reference system) seems just more authentic. But that might confuse new users/fans at the first glance too.

Minnesota Tribe

I have taken the Minnesota Tribe material out of this article and created a new article from it. I would like to edit the Kurita article to basically just be a line pointing to the new article. Locis 09:11, 8 January 2008 (CST) communibus locis

Since this is an important episode in the history of the DC because it diverted the nation's attention, it deserves to be left in, but there's not reason not to have links to a more complete article. --Scaletail 20:46, 8 January 2008 (CST)

"Directions" in the stellar map

I know this is probably the wrong place to mention it and nitpicking at it's best, but as it just came up in the first sentence of the article: The directions in the stellar map are afaik core-ward ("north"), rim-ward ("south"), spin-ward ("west") and antispin-ward ("east"). It would be nice to refrain from using "north" etc. and using the correct definitions instead.— The preceding unsigned comment was posted by 213.232.208.21 (talkcontribs) .

In this specific case, it is in quotation marks, which indicates that it's just for ease of reference. To address your broader point, I would point out that Camacho's Caballeros hail from the Southwestern Trinity, a trio of worlds that gets its name from the fact that the planets are in the "SW corner" of the IS. --Scaletail 17:43, 18 February 2009 (PST)
