General information
This article will be the theme of the January 2011 session of the continuing "Science and Religion" seminar series at the Unitarian-Universalist Meeting House in Chatham, MA. With luck, I might get some contributors recruited. There are those who wonder if Unitarian-Universalists are a science fiction proposition. Howard C. Berkowitz 20:51, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
Hayford, your help greatly appreciated
I'm sure I'm only scratching the surface.
There's a question of whether to spin off subarticles on the individual pieces, or perhaps themes. Considering this, "The Star" may have had the most stunning ending of any science fiction story I've ever read. If there was ever an argument for a spoiler warning, this is it. I'm tempted to experiment with a "spoilers" tab, and even then, to give a last-warning link to the last two sentences of the story. Howard C. Berkowitz 21:24, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Order of themes/headings
These are essentially random at present. Can anyone suggest a basis for flow among them, perhaps a different ordering, and transitions among them?
How do people feel about internal wikilinks in this? For example, an epigraph from the Bene Gesserit appears after the intro, but the Bene Gesserit are discussed in more detail later in the article. Should the epigraph link to the external or internal? To what extent should there be second-level heading for particular works/series under the main headings? Howard C.
