 Hi, I've been looking through policy on using references, and I want to add some material to the wiki, but most of it comes from video footage from the alpha rather than articles. Would it be ok to use those as references? [[User:OmgHAX!|OmgHAX!]] ([[User talk:OmgHAX!|talk]]) 14:59, 20 June 2014 (EDT)
 :Given that the Alpha was a public event, I don't see why not. As long as the videos used don't have any copyright infringement issues or anything like that.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 15:13, 20 June 2014 (EDT)
+== Discovery of Mars question ==
+Hello, Porple. I would greatly appreciate if you could answer a simple and trivial question for me: at the beginning of the Destiny Beta, when the human astronauts land on and explore Mars, East Asian characters appear on the screen. I was wondering if you knew what language those characters belonged to (they most likely belonged to either the Mandarin language or the Japanese language, but I can't tell). This could make for a nice entry in a new trivia section on the Mars page - that, "based on the characters displayed in the opening cutscene of the beta, one could assume that Chinese/Japanese astronauts were the ones who landed on and explored Mars." Thanks in advance.
+PS: Here's the link to the cutscene I'm referring to at the specific time the East Asian characters appear. ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZ4g8ZPiYE4&t=0m54s '''link'''])
