pna - the episode "references" need to be removed from the bottom of the page and placed with the corresponding sentences/paragraphs, leaving only "appearances". --Alan del Beccio 04:54, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Coridan civil war
Where did the Coridan civil war come from? Although it is a mystery how a thriving 22nd century planet became underpopulated in the 23rd century, there isn't a real explanation of what happened. There are a number of possibilities as to what really happened. Unless someone has a reference, how about moving speculation to the bottom in italics?--Mike Nobody 08:28, 24 Oct 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Recent removal/re-addition of information
- Some speculate that a centuries long civil war decimated the Coridan population.
I guess it was removed because it unnecessary speculation. -- Cid Highwind 21:10, 28 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- The reason for its removal was discussed at my talk page here. --From Andoria with Love 21:36, 28 Nov 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Name Origin
I added the origin of the name Coridan, I could've put more but wasn't sure it was appropriate/neccessary. Cory 04:15, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- "The name Coridan originates from the poetry of Virgil, specifically Eclogue II."
A shepherd named Corydon is featured in "Eclogue II". The names sound very similar, granted, but do you have a source for the writers basing the species name on this exact character from Virgil's work? If not, this would be just speculation which we couln't add to the main article. I didn't find anything in the The Star Trek Compendium, can you give us your source? --Jörg 10:04, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Page move
In the spirit of the philosophy that "qualifiers are bad," perhaps "Coridanite" should be the primary article title, with Coridan being the planet article title, with a disambig link at the top of the page of course. This is based on the idea of a) uniqueness b) the last name, chronologically, to be referenced to this species. --Alan del Beccio 05:16, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
- I second this motion. They are referred to by each name on screen. JafJaf
