I made a copy of the older versions of this page (found here) that, although not completely sourced as of yet, contains information on Space Warfare in fiction not (yet) covered here. Any help with the merge would be welcome. S h a r k f a c e 2 1 7 06:38, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Some of the referances go to Wikipedia, which is against policy. They need to be fixed. S h a r k f a c e 2 1 7 08:26, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Yes, according to Wikipedia policy "Articles and posts on Wikipedia, or other websites that mirror Wikipedia content, may not be used as sources."

{{

: Text "The Living Legend, Part 2" ignored (
help)" is a reference to an episode entitled The Living Legen Part 2 which was part of the Battlestar Galactica TV series broadcast in 1978. It does also link to a wikipedia article, to give more information about the source, but this is not part of the reference. I have restored this and several other similar references, along with a {{fact}} tag that was removed without explanation.

23:46, 21 January 2009 (UTC)I think this should be structured more as a history of developments, rather than subsections for each show. So, we'd need to answer questions like:
I'm not sure the flat, uninteresting descriptions of the various weapons that are employed that we have here is useful. JulesH 23:46, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Could somebody please explain to me:
Or should I just put my changes back in? JulesH 13:47, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
I don't think this merge should happen, for a variety of reasons:

Space war is a major theme to videogame plots, especially in star wars. I presume make a videogame section on spacewar eg masseffect 3, halo etc. It helps differentiate between the mess the americans made of differing scifi fantasy from sci-fi genres. Alot of directors in america seem to start series off with traditional sci-fi and close it with sci-fi fantasy. This is the case with videogames as well. You can see the remarkable transitions americans make in Star wars to Halo to even Star trek. The character is in the centre role in sci-fi fantasy of which he is an underdog in scifi. However science fiction usually starts its theme with the underdog which sequels seem to slowly transition into as a major role. Starwars was different, the prequels were all sci-fi fantasy but the traditional 2 were pure science fiction. Some may contend rotj was sci-fi fantasy, however it was not, due to the canadian film industry having strong fantasy elements in sci-fi and sci-fi fantasy, empire strikes back was closer to this role (of which was not directed by lucas). I consider return of the jedi more scifi than sci-fi fantasy though not because of the strong magic theme, and love story around the centre character, but because the character never deviated from his role as an underdog..and the movie was just bad. I conjure that russian sci-fi has strong magical elements with a weak theme, it is very much on the borderline as empire strikes back was. Sci-fi fantasy in videogames is no different then the film industry at times. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asfd666 ( talk • contribs) 00:18, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
Halo science fantasy themes: It seems like sci-fi, the first one actually is...but if you delve deeper into the halo universe it turns into starship troopers, its believable to a certain extant, halo 1-scifi, halo 2-scifi fantasy, halo 3-scifi adventure, halo 4 scifi fantasy because the themes are aliens whom mastered to created planets via halo rings. Halo for instance is about an evil galactic empire who has a primitive religion? An alien race that spans the galaxy and removes all hostile races with the most superior advanced technology, destroyed their homeworld, has a caste system akin to a aristocracy or a patriarch, is somehow praying to a primitive god? During mohamet's time, gods were a set of rules to control populations during great migrations (see the quran). No organism can create a planet or become god-like unless its a case of forgery. Major themes like the human ship just navigating to the alien homeworld is very unusual indeed. Other themes include the fact that the alien race can become god-like and create multiple planets, or make a type of human ai with emotions and feelings...the flood themselves are zombies am i right? Def sci-fi fantasy. Alot of american movies tend to do this, they go their seperate ways in other genres. A prime example is the alien/predator series which is like sci-fi horror or sci-fi adventure. Avatar to is more like sci-fi fantasy then sci-fi adventure because life on other moons is not theoretically possible. Not really science fiction. this is like star trek next generation, instead of star trek..star trek did the same thing, star wars even, went into scifi adventure then scifi fantasy (see prequels). Predator and aliens is a case of flipping inbetween the scifi horror and scifi adventure themes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asfd666 ( talk • contribs) 09:39, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
Joss Whedon's Firefly features no sound in space battles (as it would be, with no medium to carry the sound). Is this the first show to do so, and, if not, what is and should it be included? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.168.42.150 ( talk) 08:52, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
As many of the topics covered, if not the actual content itself, are similar or the same, I propose a merge into this article in order to keep the redundancy to a minimum. 74.170.91.7 ( talk) 14:44, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
What's the point of the Blackmore quote, it doesn't seem to do anything or offer any insight or explanations. Its nothing more than a witty comment that lends little more to the article, so why is it here? '''Aryeonos''' ( talk) 09:42, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
What does Future War even mean? There is no definition and the examples given seem to indicate the editors are talking about any fictional war that involves advanced technology in some form or another, which is the entire genre of SciFi. I assumed, from the article's title, Space warfare, that this would be about warfare occurring in space. Instead, it seems to be used as an umbrella phrase to talk about any random SciFi war that the editors assigned meaning to, all the while stating the obvious as if this were some sort of profound observation:
We could say the same thing about any and all aspects of SciFi, because, by definition, ALL Science Fiction is beyond our current abilities ... if we had master it then it wouldn't be Science Fiction any more, it would just be Fiction.
Oh really? So far not a single Wikipedia editor has read that sentence sober and found nothing problematic with it?
What does this even mean? Why is this paragraph important to the article? The same goes for the last paragraph on Naval Warfare.
Personally, I would vote to delete this article. Failing that, I would suggest removing the entire Technology/Destruction of Planets and Stars/ Navy sections, since they are Original Research and uncited. I would keep the title of the article and focus entirely on warfare in space, or I would change the article's title to Future War, provide a working definition (whatever it means, I still have no idea other than wars in the future) and focus entirely on that instead. I would suggest not trying to do both. Again, I do not find any value in this article but I know it's policy to keep anything that might be fixable, so I offer these observations only as suggestions.
