Talk:Clones

A lot of the information in this page can be found in Labyrinth Clan and other entries. I think this page should be revamped (and I'd be happy to do so) to mean clones in general, not as a proper title. This page could talk about the cloning process in general, all the clones seen so far and real world background on cloning. Anybody not agree? Suggestions? -- Matt 12:32, 2 February 2008 (CST)

Sounds fine, but I have no suggestions as to how you'd go about it. -- Supermorff 04:53, 3 February 2008 (CST)

I have a pretty good idea about how to make the page much more original, and, unless I get a couple 'nay' votes first, I'll work on it when I have a bit more time. -- Matt 09:49, 3 February 2008 (CST)

I've done some more thinking about this page, as well as Mutates. I guess what I'd like to see is a page about cloning and a page about mutate-ing. The problem is that "Mutates" and "Clones" are also proper nouns in the series. So what can we do? All the info on these two pages can be found in other places, so I'm leaning towards doing a total, or near total, wipe of the page and starting over refering to the cloning and mutate-ing processes themselves. I feel we need pages talking about these subjects in the series itself. The character info found on these pages is repetitive and found elsewhere. I dunno, I'd love some thoughts and/or suggestions. -- Matt 16:46, 24 February 2008 (CST)

I think it'd be a fine idea to explain the cloning and mutating processes in Gargoyles as long as you specified that in the beginning of the article. EX: Clones may refer to blah blah blah, but this article discusses the cloning process. For blah blah blah, see [[LINK]] or something. Y'know, except employing a more encyclopedic tone. - SamuelB 20:46, 25 February 2008 (CST)

I think something along those lines would work. Just a quick one sentence disambiguation at the top like "For the five gargoyles cloned by Sevarius for Thailog, see Labyrinth Clan". Then a quick sentence explaining what a clone is. Then the rest of the article can explain the cloning process, maybe with some additional background on how cloning works in the real world. -- Demonskrye 07:55, 26 February 2008 (CST)

I like that idea a lot. -- Matt 16:52, 26 February 2008 (CST)

Cloning

I've had a go at reworking this article so that it mostly deals with the concept of cloning rather than the five "Clones" produced by Thailog and Demona. Nevertheless, most of the History section still refers to the gargoyles clones created by Sevarius both these Clones and Thailog). Only the introduction is substantially different. I've also removed the Timeline - it was specific to the group and I don't think it's really relevant any more. -- Supermorff 16:58, 8 September 2008 (CDT)

argh I worked so hard on those timelines. Maybe we could piece it up into sections for each individual clone.--PGFish 19:00, 8 September 2008 (CDT)

I think only individual characters should have timelines and I think those need to be a bit more condensed then they seem to be so far, hitting only the major points, not every little detail in that charcters life. The main Timeline contains all the minutiae, and we already have one massive timeline, we don't need more huge and repetitive timelines on everyone's pages. I do like the character timelines, but I fear they are getting a little too unwieldy and repetitive (in respect to the main Timeline and the character's history sections. -- Matt 19:48, 8 September 2008 (CDT)
