Comments[edit]

Had to change some comments. First, to be precise, atheism is about the existence of deities, not the afterlife (beliefs about afterlife do not necessarily require a deity). I still find comment two's argument to be questionable, but decided not to totally delete it. 74.130.24.89 00:46, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:ST-VOY Mortal Coil.jpg[edit]

Image:ST-VOY Mortal Coil.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 09:30, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable secondary sources[edit]

One of the complaints at the AfD discussion is that this article has no reliable secondary sources. I've found a few books at Amazon which could be used to fulfill this criterion, but I don't actually own any of them. However, I figured that someone here probably does. So, if anyone owns the Star Trek: Voyager Companion, Delta Quadrant: The Unofficial Guide to Voyager, or Star Trek: The Human Frontier, please find the places in those books which mention this episode and add citations (using {{cite book}}) accordingly. Thanks. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 08:41, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I was able to add the Human Frontier citation just by using the "Search Inside" function at amazon. I may do the same for the other citations later, or someone else can do it. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 08:57, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I added the Star Trek: Voyager Companion citations, but Delta Quadrant isn't available through the "Search Inside" function. Does anyone own that book, or another episode guide which discusses and/or reviews this episode? —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 18:35, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Failing GA[edit]

This isn't a bad article per se, but it is lacking. Your refs look good, but there is almost no information on the episode's production and virtually none on reaction. Perhaps some episode guides might have opinions on the matter that could be added to Phillips's input. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 19:36, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

commentary[edit]

For what it's worth, the apropos DVDs have no commentary or additional information to provide for this particular episode. Just FYI to save anyone the time and effort. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 09:53, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
