Dyson sphere
In this article they mention in the beginning that a Dyson sphere is a structure built around a star to capture its solar energy. That's not worded right. You can only get solar energy from our star. No other star can create solar energy because we only call it solar energy because our star is named Sol. Energy from any other star is called stellar energy.Oldasshonky (talk) 09:46, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- I've removed the word 'solar' from the first sentence. MichaelMaggs (talk) 10:41, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- The name of our star in English is Sun. It is named Sol in Latin, and some other languages like Portuguese and Spanish. Tercer (talk) 10:48, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
Dyson spheres in popular culture
Crafterstar has replaced the current redirect Dyson spheres in popular culture with a new article, and there have been several reverts and re-reverts. I'm bringing it here for discussion, as it's improper for a new article to be created without re-evaluating the consensus against it at Talk:Dyson_spheres_in_popular_culture#Merge_into_Dyson_sphere. My position is that we should not re-create such a new article, and that in any event the list isn't appropriate for Wikipedia as it amounts to an indiscriminate collection of fictional Dyson sphere mentions, contrary to WP:INDISCRIMINATE and MOS:POPCULT.

- The content restored is way different than the version that was discussed, it seems. I rather keep it because years ago, I had used this page to get a few books to read, like Across a Billion Years. At least for me, it is worth as a reference for people to get a list, even if it is marginal in importance, to a point that people feel the need to remove it.

- I might suggest TV Tropes as an WP:Alternative outlet for that purpose. They have an entry for Dyson spheres at https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DysonSphere. TompaDompa (talk) 14:27, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
