Talk:GATO
I corrected a minor factual thing: the SRAN wasn't an alliance back then. Instead, the EU basically forced Toria, Fabul, and the rest of the Fascist Pact to forego their own aerospace forces and use the Sky Riders. They became more of a treaty organization after they broke from the EU. I'll discuss it in the SRAN article. --Tex 11:26, 5 August 2006 (CDT)
OK, I messed up a bit. I added all the confederation members to the GATO category. Matt, can you set me straight with this? Do you want separate categories for Confederation and GATO, one category for both, or a category for GATO and nothing for the Confederation? And could you give me a list of the actual members of each? Xstryker 12:07, 5 August 2006 (CDT)
- Well, I've thought about this quite a bit, actually. In writing up an article on GATO I ended up telling the history of the Confederation, since the former grew out of the latter. So, rather than create a whole separate article on the Confederation, I've simply directed all Confederation links to the GATO page. I'd rather have a single category for both GATO and Confederation members -- but, as you point out, some who were in the Confederation were not in GATO.
- I think that, unless Nick feels differently, there should probably just be a category for GATO, and no category for the Confederation. The Confederation existed for a relatively short period of time, and GATO ended up eclipsing it in terms of success as a multinational alliance, being that GATO earned the status of Great Power back in the day.

- OK, I will remove EU, Medina, Atreus, and Foo from the GATO category. --Xstryker 10:55, 7 August 2006 (CDT)
Categories
I think some of the categories on this article may be unnecessary. Alliances and GATO should definitely be there. Scen, what do you think about removing the Fringe, Guardia, Gate Dimension, and Forthena categories? --Xstryker 11:05, 7 August 2006 (CDT)
- out of all the categories you've listed, I think the ones that *must* absolutely stay are Gate Dimension and the Fringe, as GATO was critical to the development of both the Gate and Alter dimensions as they exist now in Kupopolis. I'll go ahead and make the change. Scen 19:28, 8 August 2006 (CDT)
