Shouldn't this and the Sentient Atlantis page be merged? --rache 05:44, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

As far as the terms are concerned I associate with this one more the political entity (Atlantis as a power in Pegasus, or becoming independent, or such), rather than the city itself as personality, but I'm not sure it needs a subpage.--Ratcreature 06:13, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

As a fan who's not familiar with this fandom, I wonder if the term "Lantea" should be in the first line of the description? And is this a canon word or a fanon one? --Mrs. Potato Head 23:15, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Question one: yes, good point. Question two: both -- "Lantea" is a canon name for at least one of the planets the city of Atlantis is located on, and the name may also have been used in canon to refer to the city (and/or by other inhabitants of the Pegasus Galaxy to refer to inhabitants of that city). It is certainly a fanon word regularly used to describe inhabitants of the city and/or the city, especially in stories where Atlantis breaks away from Earth (where the city-state and its inhabitants are then with some frequency referred to in various fanworks as "Lantea" and "Lanteans"). Clear as mud, right? ;) --Sk 00:03, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
All of your explanation above, or a variation of it on on the page, would make it clearer! :-) P.S. I love the work you're doing, Sk... ADDED: Man, you're fast!--Mrs. Potato Head 00:16, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
Poked at the page some more -- any better? (And thank you, that's very nice to hear -- I'm sort of flailing about enthusiastically, but hope that in aggregate my edits fall under the old 80/20 rule of more useful than concern-causing (though there's definitely some outstanding questions and discussions of the latter type, oops/c'est la vie?) :) --Sk 00:23, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
Pre-save-page/edit-conflict reply/addition to "ADDED:" Hee, only when I'm already online and have the various canon Stargate wikis open anyway to make another "very special" glossary entry. ;) --Sk 00:23, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
"I'm sort of flailing about enthusiastically, but hope that in aggregate my edits fall under the old 80/20 rule of more useful than concern-causing" is a thing of beauty. Truly. It's what I aim for. --Mrs. Potato Head 01:05, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
Phew/thank you! Will keep working on it, though sometimes with bonus confusion, no doubt. :) --Sk 01:19, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
