Talk:Number Eight (Battlestar Galactica)

Identified as No. 8
, this claim requires a secondary source, as it's not verifiable solely with reference to the episode. One would have to watch the entire series to determine when the Sharons are first referred to that way. Vanamonde93 (talk) 00:39, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the comment. Actually, the fact that research would be time consuming is not a reason to require a source. This is plot summary without interpretation, and not a controversial claim, this episode is well known to have established the numbers for Threes, Fives and Eights. Anyway, because of that I'm guessing there's an episode review out there that mentions it, so in good faith I'll look for one. Thanks for the collaborative attitude, hope to see you around the BSG articles. — TAnthonyTalk 01:22, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
 * It's not about time: it's about the fact that the cited source (the episode) does not, by itself, support the claim it's cited for, and as such the statement is original research. I would appreciate it if you could find a review. Vanamonde93 (talk) 16:54, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
 * So I've actually had trouble finding an explicit mention of this in an external source. My phrasing in the article doesn't specify this is the first mention of "Eight" (although it is) but I'll defer to you on its inclusion.— TAnthonyTalk 01:30, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you, appreciated. While your edit does not make such a statement, without the implication that it is the first identification, the sentence is somewhat trivial. I've removed it, per what I read as your agreement. If you still disagree I'm happy to discuss it further. Vanamonde93 (talk) 17:00, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
