Talk:Atlantis (OV-104)

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

[edit] Citation?

Can we get some visual confirmation on this, please? The wikipedia article that formerly existed about all the images in the intro stated that it was the Space Shuttle Discovery. --Alan del Beccio 19:58, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Here is the visual evidence. Note the Spacehab logo to the left. It matches the one shown in the credits. [1].--Airtram3 15:39, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Precedent?

Is there a precedent for something only seen in the credits, and not in canon, having its own article? (Unless the credits are canon, but I don't believe they are.) If there is, then I wonder how detailed it needs to be.--31dot 21:09, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Search "Sojourner". This is only shown in the credits. Yet, it is treated as being in-universe.--Airtram3 15:41, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Obviously, this is not the case - Sojourner is also shown in an episode, as the article describes. -- Cid Highwind 14:51, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

OV-165, T-90 tank, F-5 Tiger II, 2K16 Kub, B-1B Lancer, Project 705, F-15 Eagle, Alan Shepard. --Alan 21:50, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

We should perhaps slap a {{realworld}} on those. -- Cid Highwind 02:22, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Why? Especially the ones for the mirror universe opening seem to have been intentioned to illustrate things in that universe. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 02:27, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I kind of thought that was a given, especially when it contains somethign like Image:Terran-Empire-Insignia.jpg and Image:Terran Empire moon landing.jpg. On that note, let's not forget the various opening theme images that appear in "legitimate" articles, which walks the same line and the articles discussed here: (ENT) Image:First World War.jpg, Image:German Fokker airplane.jpg, Image:German U-Boat.jpg, Image:Sailing ship firing, In a Mirror, Darkly.jpg, Image:Chuck Yeager.jpg, Image:ISS model, ENT opening credits.jpg, Image:HMS Enterprize opening credits.jpg, Image:LunarSettlement.jpg, Image:SpaceShuttleEnterprise.jpg, Image:Warp delta, prototype.jpg, Image:Amelia Earhart, Enterprise.jpg; (TOS) Image:Ent1701mk2 orbit comp.jpg, Image:MarsTOSremastered-Intro.jpg; (DS9) Image:USS Leeds at DS9.jpg, Image:Three repairmen in EV suits.jpg; and possibly more. --Alan 03:52, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

No need for separate space shuttle articles with the exception of Enterprise (OV-101), which is the only one of any length. - Archduk3:talk 16:48, September 22, 2009 (UTC)
