Preservers NPOV

Given the nature of Romulans as featured in the show, it did surprise Picard at the end of the episode that the Romulan Commander agreed with the "hope" the Progenitor's message brought. Thats why I said "curiously" to describe it. I don't agree that it is an NPOV violation. But whatever. Cyberia23 23:15, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome :-)

Just getting back to you regarding your post here - No problem! That's what we admins/RC Patrollers are here for :-) --HappyCamper 04:03, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

re: your comment on my LJ

Actually I'm a supporter of userboxes. What I'm trying to do is delete the "fair use" images, which we are not allowed to use in userboxes. This way the anti-userbox people can't nominate them for deletion on those grounds. If you look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Userboxes, eliminating fair use images is one of our immediate goals.

My LJ icon is from the movie Princess Mononoke.

I've decided not to join the military, but thanks for your offer of advice. --Fang Aili 23:40, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Battlestar Galactica

Please check out my comment in the discussion section of the BSG article. (Revised series)

Category:Vigil Brother Wikipedians

I see that you created the Category:Vigil Brother Wikipedians. Since the OA policy is that all borhters are equal, might I suggest that instead of Vigil, we have a Category:Order of the Arrow brothers? Also, this should go under Category:Scouting Wikipedians, not Category:Order of the Arrow. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 16:54, 2 February 2006 (UTC)--[reply]

Vigil template

I noticed you created a Vigil Honor user template. I'm not sure if it's formatted properly. Also, it would probably be best to start with a Order of the Arrow member userbox first, see how it goes, and then go from there. Have a good day!

Hey, are you interested in joining the new Star Wars WikiProject? Thanks for your time. Deckiller 23:18, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

pov tag on commonwealth saga

why did you add the pov tag to this article? it has been removed. aa v ^ 04:48, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vigil image

Not being a deletionist nor image Nazi, I wouldn't do this to you, but the image of a Vigil sash you used for a Vigil userbox is a BSA copyright/trademark and one day some image Nazi will likely come along and try to have it deleted. My friendly suggestion is that you may want to design a non-copyrighted image for the Vigil user box that no one will question. Userbox images have become a hot issue on Wikipedia now.

Hello

Would you please try to clean the page? Please. Ref: [1]. Thank you. --Bhadani 15:01, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There, solved the whole problem, I speedied the article :) -- Tawker 07:34, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Drudge

Great edit to Drudge Report--I had noticed that but never really put 2 and 2 together! George Kaplan 19:03, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Tasha Yar

Hi. I noticed that you left a vandalism warning at User talk:Tasha Yar. You may wish to replace your warning with the subst: command, as this prevents problems if someone tries to vandalise the warning template. The code that you would need to use would be "{{subst:test3}} ~~~~". This will also add your signature, as it is preferred that editors not leave unsigned warnings. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. Road Wizard 20:47, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Starfleet officer rank insignia Nav

You might want to discuss such large scale edits especialy on templates prior to making such edits. I believe the older junior -> senior structure was better for this. --Cat out 05:33, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re your comment about fixing redirects

Hi, this is in response to the comment you left on my talk page about fixing redirects. Thanks for your message! I started work on this because I spotted entries in the double-redirect listing that were pointing to Borg which redirected to Borg (disambiguation). Your message actually highlighted to me that I'd made a different mistake, redirecting Borg to Borg (fictional aliens) which was an accidental mistake. I've reverted Borg so that it redirects to Borg (disambiguation) again.

On that basis, I think it would make sense to continue resolving links to Borg to point to the correct (disambiguated) page (whether it's the Star Trek Borg or one of the others - but would welcome your thoughts on it (you can leave your response either here or on my talk page, I'll see it either way). I heartily agree with you that Borg (Star Trek) would be a better article title for Borg (fictional aliens). Please forgive the obligatory split infinitive! :) Paddles ^T_C 10:09, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(Star Trek)

Hi. Just wondering why you are moving pages from "Title" to "Title (Star Trek)". Was this debated somewhere? AlistairMcMillan 00:43, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wareham Station

Thanks for taking my speculation off the Wareham Station article. You are of course right to do so as "Wikipaedia is not a crystal ball". However, another contributor has found an elegant solution you may wish to look at. Cheers! Britmax 20:59, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NCC-1701-A

Hi there, what you think is not practical is your own opinion. Frankly, I feel it is rude to delete the works of others because you believe it to be speculative. However, my addendum to the Fate portion of the topic was not speculative. The line added is canon material, and I believe any canon material related to the topic is important information that other readers should know about. The reference to the ship in the Fleet Museum by Picard to Scotty occured on the screen, therefore it's canon material. Picard's statement about a Constitution Class in the fleet museum is not speculative. What is speculative is that one can speculate that the ship in the museum is the Enterprise A. I know that's speculation, that's why I said it was never confirmed. But we can't ignore canon material or the possible fate of the ship. May consider a thrid revision. I'm also aware of Memory Alpha's loosely written articles that contain a ridiculous amount of speculation on nearly every topic. I want readers to get the facts straight here, so they aren't fed BS from sites like Memory Alpha.

Janeway

Um, do we really need citations for every sentence in the contraversy section? Many of these points were primarily debated in fan communities, and not really published in a reputable source.

As for the hair, the only good source I could think of was a Sev Trek cartoon which poked fun at the previous three captains' baldness. However, I doubt we'd be able to link to this, as the cartoon site is for subscribers only. --K e rowyn ^{Leave a note} 23:43, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see vitriolic. It seems fairly even handed to me, although the paragraph about "feminine" traits could use some work. --K e rowyn ^{Leave a note} 02:22, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, what could we use as citations? News articles? Something from startrek.com? Fan sites? I'm just saying that this will be difficult to cite because little was actually written down. And I think some things can stand alone, like the Tuvix section. --K e rowyn ^{Leave a note} 03:30, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for jumping the gun on your intentions in regards to this article. That's what I get for spending too long over at AFD - makes you jumpy and parnoid IT'S HAS NO NOTABILITY BASH BASH BASH DIE CRUFT DIE! and so on... --Charlesknight 21:56, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, Sorry if my summary sounded a bit rude or whatever, you could call me a "cannon whore" - I'm one of those people who like to keep things to what is in the show/movies etc. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 20:02, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Careful on what you call people

I am pretty sure you meant to be funny in your recent edit [2] but calling another Wikipedia user a "Dick", or saying that they are acting like a Dick, is considered a personal attack. In addition, then calling a user a "Squid", because they identify themselves with the United States Navy could also be seen as a personal attck. In general, simply do not call other users names. I think it was meant innocently, but it might give people the wrong idea about you. -Husnock 01:05, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Toward(s)

Why are you going around replacing all the instances of "towards" with "toward"? "Towards" is a perfectly good word. To quote from Fowler's Modern English Usage: "the -s form [towards] is the prevailing one, & the other [toward] tends to become literary on the one hand & provincial on the other." Angr 22:24, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

More importantly, you've ended up changing a number of direct quotes in articles including zoophilia, and broke some links (Societal attitudes toward homosexuality doesn't exist, for example). Stop. Zetawoof^(ζ) 23:18, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

According to this page, both "toward" and "towards" are acceptable, but "toward" is more common in the US and "towards" is more common in the UK. Therefore, in addition to being careful about not changing direct quotes, you should also avoid making this change in UK-related pages such as 7 July 2005 London bombings. Thanks. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 02:30, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hadn't even realized it was a US-UK difference -- I figured it was just sloppy colloquial English. As for the direct quotes --yeah, my fuckup. Apologies. --EEMIV 03:19, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

moves

Why did you move all the star ship articles to (Star Trek) disambiguation? Are there other Akira class starships? --Cat out 20:44, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Discussed on Star Trek wikiproject page a month? or two? ago. --EEMIV 20:48, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

TOAD (software)

Could you temporarily lock the page due to ongoing feud over a paragraph, representing broad end-user opinion response about one of the software versions? I believe this is to be discussed prior to repetitive deletion of the whole para.

Jean Luc Picard Article

thanks for letting me know I fucked up. I copied the right text and espoused my opionion on a new section of the talk page. Hopefully this will satisfy both parties. Liu Bei 03:24, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

LCDR (ST)

I did not remove citation tags purposely, I reverted the page. As said source is archive footage.

Hyphenation

Thank you for trying to bring a modicum of sense to this discussion. I just can't get over how so many people *insist* on doing things a certain way even if it is clearly wrong. I hope that you'll keep intervening from time to time if necessary. Thanks! Hayford Peirce 20:43, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
