  4. ECvote I still think it's safe to assume that space-testosterone is the same as the mundane variety, but I'll take the BTS mention as sufficient. ~ SavageBob 14:59, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Object

  • Whenever we have articles on things that have the same in-universe name as they do out-of-universe, I don't think it's OR or a stretch to assert that that thing should be understood to mean what we think it means. In other words, SW novels and sources are written in English for an English-speaking audience (until translated), so if a character mentions a, say, pillow, then it's safe to assume they mean a pillow. In this case, mentioning that testosterone is a hormone strongly associated with males would not be OR in my opinion. At the very least, I think you need to mention what testosterone is in the BTS, with a reference to a (non-Wikipedia) definition of the stuff. ~ SavageBob 15:23, March 14, 2011 (UTC)

Comments

  • I updated it for all those sources except for A Hero Seeks Not Vengeance, SBob. Since I can't find a copy of it, could you tell me what the context of the mention is? NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 21:17, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
    • All it says is If the heroes go off on a testosterone high and glory in the prospect of combat, then Meera will echo whatever action they take, in reference to the Heroes of Cularin and Meera Lisso.--Jinzler 21:20, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
      • Would you say that fits into "aggressive"? In my Rifts campaigns that usually means we destroy another planet. NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 21:27, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
        • The appearance list isn't complete until all of Kyle Katarn's appearances are added! Holocron Greatholocron (Complain) 03:26, March 14, 2011 (UTC)
          • Kyle is testosterone in human form. And in answer to your question Naru, I do believe that this can be interpreted as meaning that testosterone was associated with agressiveness. --Jinzler 12:33, March 14, 2011 (UTC)
