Title: Caldari Prime entry on Evelopedia
Post by: orange on 15 Jun 2010, 21:08

Today Seri made two adjustments to the Caldari Prime (http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Caldari_Prime) entry on Evelopedia.

I responded to these edits with an adjustment and a re-version.

1. The first was retitling the section entitled "Gallente Occupation" to "Federation Rule."  I retitled the section "Gallente Settlement."
While "Gallente Occupation" carries with it a negative connotation and is arguably bias, "Federation Rule" ignores the presented material that prior to the war the Caldari were part of the Federation and thus Caldari Prime was under Federation rule then as well.  "Gallente Settlement" describes the time period as one in which the Gallente began to settle on Caldari Prime and supplant the Caldari.

2. The second was adjusting the population demographics from saying 'Gallente & Caldari in equal parts' to 'majority Gallente.'  I reverted this to the previous entry due to lack of presented evidence for the change.  Provided Prime Fiction source (books, chronicle, edit from Ginger/Dropbear/CCP), I have no issue with the change.

He was probably just preparing the entry for the release of EVE Online: Seriphyn (http://backstage.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?topic=663.msg7031#msg7031).

Have you put these in the talk page for the article?

Have not, but will.

Christ, busted rather quick.  :lol:

I found the word occupancy a bit rubbish, since it normally refers to tenancy and landlords. Personal thing, I suppose. I just found "Federation rule" to be more appropiate.

As for the population, it's outlined here > http://www.eveonline.com/news.asp?a=single&nid=2219&tid=5

With much of the Caldari marines assigned to securing strategic resources and transportation hubs, Provist troops have been placed in charge of enforcing the tight curfew and movement restrictions placed on the planet's majority Gallente population

That's about it, really.

Section now reads:

Quote from: Gallente Settlement

From the end of the evacuation until YC.110 (AD.23346), Caldari Prime was part of the Gallente Federation, with a population demographic increasingly made up of largely of Gallente and smaller native Caldari population [1].

[1] is a reference link to the article in question.
