Forum:CT Archive/Sentient vs Sapient

Some discussion has been brought up regarding the use of the word sentient vs the word sapient. Now there are a select few sources and novels (around 30-35) that use the word sapient. However, that is far outnumbered by all the other sources and novels that use the word sentient. Some time back, someone went through and changed 500+ articles replacing the word sentient with sapient.

Since the term sentient is more established in the Star Wars universe, I propose that when using the terms in articles, the word sentient be the acknowledged IU terminology used on Wookieepedia. This applies to headings and uses of the word in the general article contents. The exception would when quoting a specific source that uses the word sapient. - JMAS 07:17, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
