White holes are (theoretically) real. A black hole sucks things in, a white hole pushes things away. A black hole that acts like the one in the episode might actually link to a white hole. The only problem is that the white hole should have appeared black because in that universe colour is reversed.[[Special:Contributions/212.74.27.54|212.74.27.54]] 09:49, 25 June 2009 (EDT)

But what if it was just a color-inverted black hole? [[User:ZeldaTheSwordsman|ZeldaTheSwordsman]] 12:22, 4 October 2009 (EDT)

Color was inverted not luminosity. White is still white, black is still black. -[[Special:Contributions/207.224.86.33|207.224.86.33]] 13:12, 4 October 2009 (EDT)

Template talk:Caption happy

207.224.86.33: /* If we rework this template */

I'm of the opinion that this template should be reworded to not be ONLY about captions. We often get people who decide all they're going to do is add quips to the end of paragraphs or "humorous" links in the middle of them, or filling holes where actual information needs to go with "jokes"... all without adding actual ''content''. Wookieepedia may have a billion variations on a single template for every conceivable possibility... but that's one area we need not emulate them in. One catch-all "humor bastard" template should do it (though I will miss the "Action Bastard" reference). --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 14:25, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

== Variant for humor removal? ==
I'm not sure if the Caption Bastard notice really fits for people who *remove* humor instead of trying to add it, and I couldn't find a template that fit that purpose. Any thoughts about adding a new one? - [[User:Cattleprod|Cattleprod]] 12:41, 8 September 2009 (EDT)
:Broadening the scope of the existing template works too, thanks. - [[User:Cattleprod|Cattleprod]] 14:56, 8 September 2009 (EDT)

==If we rework this template==
[[Image:Humans are wimpz.png|right]]
We should really change the image to Runabout and Runamuck defacing the Statue of Liberty. Because SERIOUSLY. [[User:Hooper X|Hooper_X]] 22:25, 1 October 2009 (EDT)

== Move ==

I vote for the move. When I created this page I was just following the usage in the [[Marlboor Wheeljack]] page (from where I derived much of it). However, the suggested name does seem to fit better. Just one quibble, wouldn't Jet still be capitalized as it would be the first word? That is: [[Jet-helicopter Decepticon]] instead of [[jet-helicopter Decepticon]].

Talk:Brigadoon

207.224.86.33:

Does the island have a real name from any pseudocanon sources we can use? If not, I think this should be moved to a decapitalized "[[Flying island]]" and the article should point out that it doesn't have any known name. --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 00:08, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

:According to the Japanese Beast Wars Universe guidebook, the flying island was named Brigadoon. Since the book was very US-centric, it's possible this is what it was actually called in the scripts, but since Ben doesn't have the script up for either part of The Trigger, it's difficult to say. Presumably, though, the article could still be moved? --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 00:17, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

::Excellent point. I think a move to Brigadoon would be appropriate then, with sufficient redirects and disclaimers that it is named only in pseudocanon, naturally. --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 00:58, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
:::I disagree. Like you say, it's only named in pseudocanon, and we have a perfectly good and straight-forward description from the episode itself. I think the latter makes for a much better article title. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 01:07, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Just to jump in on a 2 year old conversation, how is [[Beast Wars Universe]], a licensed guidebook, pseudocannon? If we have a name like Brigadoon, from a licensed source, then the generic description 'flying island' seems like a waste. --[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 00:55, 29 September 2009 (EDT)
:I would support such a move. It's not any different than [[Athenia|Galactic Olympics planet]], [[Nancy|Junkion Lady]], [[Nekomimi A and Nekomimi B|catgirls]], or [[Signal Lancer|stoplight Autobot]]. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 01:05, 29 September 2009 (EDT)
::I am somewhat baffled that anyone would support the notion of moving this article to "Brigadoon." --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 01:22, 29 September 2009 (EDT)
:::Why? I know we prefer US names over Japanese names, but in the absence of a US name, we generally go with JP ones unless they're tied up in some sort of US-JP continuity conflict. -[[Special:Contributions/207.224.86.33|207.224.86.33]] 01:43, 29 September 2009 (EDT)
