Talk:Moon (BW)

Since Moon hails from Gaia's past and Gaia is a future version of Earth it seems likely that he was of human construction.

I don't see anything wrong with this statement. It's a logical, important inferrence based on the evidence presented. What is untrue about this statement? It says he is likely of human construction, because it is. I mean, who else from future Earth will build him? Sentient cockroaches which took over after we all died? That's an even bigger assumption than the human angle. That it's probable, given the evidence presented, that he was built by humans is an important thing to say. --ItsWalky 07:17, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

The fact that it's a "possibility" leaves a bad taste in my mouth; I'm of the opinion that we should be sticking to what the fiction says and nothing more. Putting up possibilities implies that they have some sort of credence beyond fan assumption, and there's no clear line as to what possibilities are acceptable and what aren't. In this case, one could also claim the possibility of Moon being built by Artemis, and thus would have to put this possibility in the article, too. I'd prefer to just avoid that altogether.

Well the article begins with "Moon is a relic from the past of the planet Gaia." So he's a robot from Earth who's not of Cybertronian origin (also in there). *Very* likely built by humans then. I think the line (and others like it) is fine as long as it mentions that it's "likely" not definate.

As for how the line is drawn between "likely" and too-out-there speculation? How about with common sense. I hate it when institutions make things doubly difficult and convoluted by catering to the lowest common denominator. Most of use here are smart people, if something is TOO speculative we'll feel it and take it out. If it's boarderline we'll debate it and come to a concensus. No need to get draconian about any little helpful inference in the fear that it'll lead to fannon leaking in. We've got a better handle on things than that I think. -ZacWilliam (who keeps forgetting to log in). :)
