| − | * The writers tend to change the locations of the different powers often, the best example being that the originally, DS9 was going to be on the oposite side of Federation space from the Klingons, but later, they needed to be near the klingon bordor. So there is no official map, but the one best researched would be [[Star Trek Star Charts]] in my personal opinion. Of coarse, even that one has several made up info points, and some just plain mistakes -[[User:AJHalliwell|AJHalliwell]] 04:15, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC) |

| − | == Scifi Channel edits? == |
||
| − | Does the SciFi Channel (in the US) commonly edit episodes of TOS? |
||
| − | |||
| − | I just watched "Charlie X" on my DVR, which ran several days ago on SciFi. Afterwards, I read the summary both here and on Wikipedia, and found reference to a scene in which Charlie melts chess pieces. This segment was definitely absent from the episode I just watched. Thanks! -_Ted |
||
| − | |||
| − | *Yes, they do cut them pretty bad. In some cases almost entire scenes. I have a few examples of what was cut from various episodes, however "Charlie X" is not among them. --[[User:Gvsualan|Gvsualan]] 03:33, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC) |
||
| − | :Spike TV is also has a tendency to cut scenes from ''Star Trek'' episodes (TNG & DS9). I guess that's the price we pay in an era when TV execs consider commercials more important than actual show content. --[[User:Shran|Shran]] 13:37, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC) |
||
| − | * Yeah, I recently noticed that with "[[Return to Grace]]" where Kira was in the Infirmary. I wanted to catch the part where Worf came in and gave her a list about some technologies that the Federation was not willing to share with the Cardassians or whatever, and then Bashir gave her another innoculation and she made some reference to seeing spots the size of watermelons. Anyway, that entire scene was cut from the episode. I cried. --[[User:Gvsualan|Alan del Beccio]] 06:09, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC) |

| − | == Klingon First Contact == |
||
| − | I'm a bit surprised that no one's asked this yet, at least here. In the ''[[TOS]]'' episode "[[Day of the Dove]]," Dr. [[Leonard McCoy]] states that, at that time ([[2268]]), the [[Klingons]] had been adversaries of the Federation (or at least humans) for 50 years. In ''[[TNG]]'''s "[[First Contact (episode)]]" set in [[2367]], [[Jean-Luc Picard]] states that "centuries ago, disasterous contact with the [[Klingon Empire]] led to decades of war, and it was decided then that we would do surveillance before making [first] contact." Yet in the ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'' pilot "[[Broken Bow]]," we see that [[first contact]] was a full 117 years prior to "Day of the Dove" and it was hardly a major disaster, nor would it have caused [[Starfleet]] to rethink its first contact protocols since it was a Klingon who first landed on Earth. In other words, first contact occured differently than the way Picard said it did. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Picard also said the contact was "centuries" ago from 2367, meaning it had to happen at least sometime around [[2167]], but McCoy stated it was 50 years before 2268, placing the beginning of the conflict at [[2218]]. So there lies another contradiction. |
||
| − | |||
| − | I have a theory that there may have actually been two contacts, one in 2151 and another in 2218. Perhaps sometime after the end of ''Enterprise'', the Klingons demanded not to be bothered by Starfleet again, but in 2218, something happened to bring the two powers into conflict. Keep in mind that Picard did not say "disasterous FIRST contact" with the Klingons, merely a "disasterous contact." Although a first contact would seem to be the implication of the statement, it's possible he was referring to another contact, although the 2218 date still contadicts his comment of it occuring "centuries ago." |
||
| − | |||
| − | Anyway, I've already carried this on for too long and I apologize for that. So, my question is this: Could there be any possible explanation for this discremancy that does not involve placing ''Enterprise'' in an alternate timeline created by the [[Temporal Cold War]]? Also, why do McCoy's statement and Picard's statement contradict each other in stating the timeframe in which Klingons and humans became enemies? Any new theories and comments on my theory would be appreciated, and again, I apologize for the great length. --[[User:Shran|Shran]] 03:17, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC) |
||
| − | |||
| − | *Having had time to think about it, I really don't think there's any contradiction at all. When Picard stated that "centuries ago, disasterous contact with the Klingon Empire led to decades of war," he meant that the numberous encounters between humans and the Federation - beginning in 2151 - ultimately led to the two powers becoming enemies in the 23rd century. In other words, after the less-than-successful First Contact seen in "Broken Bow," humans and Klingons would have repeated encounters throughout the next several decades, sometimes resulting in embarassment on the part of the Klingons. In 2218, however, some major incident occured and, having had enough of our meddling, the Klingons became our enemies. By 2223, a tense cold war had begun between the two that would last for seventy years until the Khitomer Conference in ''[[Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country]]''. Following this, Starfleet decided to adopt a policy of covert surveillance to ensure that similar incidents do not occur with other races. This explanation serves to confirm both Picard's and Dr. McCoy's statements while also clearing ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'' of any wrong-doing in this matter. |

||
| − | |||
| − | :Hm, I guess not. Oh, well. Maybe it was there, we just didn't "see" it. It's also nothing some computer editing can't fix: just take the image of the [[starship]] [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)|''Enterprise'']], put it above the other images, put the [[Enterprise (NX-01)|NX-01]] where the [[Constitution class]] starship was, and ''voila!'' --[[User:Shran|Shran]] 06:38, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC) |
||
| − | |||
| − | Here's your explanation. TMP was made in 1979, Enterprise came out in 2000 or 2001. Can you believe the nerve of those producers; not predicting 22 years into the future. What a bunch of lazy jerks ;) [[User:Jaz|Jaz]] 04:23, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC) |
||
| − | |||
| − | :This is why I think enterprise shouldn't have been "enterprise". There are several occasions when "previous ships named ''enterprise''" have been displayed : his scene on TMP, the small models in Picard's ready room, and so on (not to mention STVII Generations). Since Archer's ship supposedly made lots of historic achevments, we can't explain her absence. To avoid creating lots of continuity problems, NX-01 (and the show) should have reveived another name. If they had ask to me, I'd have advise the to name it ''Pathfinder''. --[[User:Rami|Rami]] 10:05, 15 Nov 2005 (UTC) |

| − | ::Every alien article should eventually grow to have a list (and therefore a tally) of their appearances.

||
| − | I have read here that the [[Federation]] was founded on May 8th in [[2161]], but I've also read elsewhere that an episode or film had established the founding to have taken place on October 11th of the same year. Could someone please tell me the episodes or films '''both''' of these dates are derived from? --[[User:Shran|Shran]] 14:30, 29 Jun 2005 (UTC) |
||
| − | *In "[[The Outcast]]", [[Deanna Troi]] and the gang are playing [[poker]], and decide to play "[[Federation day]]" poker, where 2s, 6s, an aces are wild. I believe that's where the May 8th day comes from. And I've never heard of the October one, but it might have come from "[[These Are the Voyages...]]". May 8th is much more widely accepted though. -[[User:AJHalliwell|AJHalliwell]] 15:06, 29 Jun 2005 (UTC) |
||
| − | **Ah, I see. Well I thought maybe that May 8th, [[2161]] was the day that the charter for the [[Coalition of Planets]] was signed, and this was the event seen in "[[These Are the Voyages...]]," and that the [[Federation]] was incorporated later on October 11th. I thought this might be the case judging from [[Deanna Troi]]'s line in "These Are the Voyages..." in which she said: "You wish you could tell them that this alliance would lead to the founding of the Federation." This seems to imply that the Federation would come sometime after the event they were witnessing. I thought it might also be possible that "Voyages" took place in October of [[2160]] and the Federation came about in May of the following year, but this would contradict the characters' statements that they had been serving aboard the [[Enterprise (NX-01)|''Enterprise'']] for ten years, given a start of April [[2151]]. --[[User:Shran|Shran]] 04:24, 30 Jun 2005 (UTC) |

| − | ***I loved the in-depth look into that album in ''[[Star Trek: The Magazine]]'', however, only a very few pages were seen on screen, and the page with the newspaper clipping of Federation founding was not one of them.

| − | ****Even though Alpha Centauri turned out to be an Earth colony, couldn't it have still been a founding member of the UFP? I think it could have and probably would have, unless there's an episode I've forgotten that said it wasn't. --[[User:Shran|Shran]] 03:53, 5 Aug 2005 (UTC) |

But Piller or somebody else canceled the production of the new uniforms. Instead of them the Ds9-uniforms were used in the movie next to the TNG-uniforms from the series. Only the action figures that were made as merchandise for the movie wear the new uniforms.

That means that there were 30000 ships in the dominion. That doesn't sound right. Also, in Sacrifice of Angels, Dukat states the there were 2800 ships waiting to come through, but if the domion had 30000, that doesnt seem like that big of a diffrence. So, how many were there. I think that everything in DS9 contridicted itself. [[User:Tobyk777|Tobyk777]] 04:47, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC) |

| − | I believe operation return had 609 federation ships, and they were outnumbered more than 2 to one by the dominion, which had 1254 ships. I'm not sure if this included fighters, of just full fledged starships. Operation return made use of elements of the Third and Seventh fleets, so it is safe to say each fleet had 300-500 ships in it. We know of at least ten fleets, which suggests 3000-5000 federation ships, as well as Klingons, Romulans, and other minor forces. [[User:Jaz|Jaz]] 05:16, 30 Nov 2005 (UTC) |

If it hasnt been made into a TV or theater production by the Paramount Pictures studio itself, it is not considered [[canon]]. ([[Memory Alpha:Canon policy]]) -- and therefore, ''none'' of the books are relevant to our articles (except of course for the article ''about'' that book). This means, for example, you can create an article about the publiction data of [[The Final Reflection]], but neither Paramount nor this database considers it valid enough to list information from it in [[Klingon]]s or [[D5 class]] -- because it is "non-canon". -- [[User:Captainmike|Captain Mike K.

||
| − | It seems to me that I remember this ship being a Galaxy class vessel, but it's not mentioned on its own page or on the Galaxy class page. But if I recall correctly in "Sacrifice of Angels" the Cortez was the first ship after the Defiant to break through the lines and reach DS9. Then shortly after that we see a Galaxy class ship docked there. Does anyone have any reference to this (similar to the inference we make about the Venture because of Way of the Warrior)? [[User:Logan 5|Logan 5]] 17:58, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC) |
||
| − | :C'mon, people! Someone reference! I just rewatched parts of the episode and here's what I can say: There are at least 4 and maybe as many as 6-7 Galaxy-class ships in that episode. We know the Magellan and Venture are two of them. The Trinculo's page says it was involved but it doesn't say how we know that, unless the Registry number has been recorded by someone and it just isn't mentioned there. Also, the Cortez is mentioned specifically as signaling that the Dominion fleet is falling back to which Sisko orders them to rendez-vous at DS9. The next shot shows a docked Galaxy, two Excelsiors, and a docked Miranda. Personally, I think that could lead us to suppose the Cortez is Galaxy class. In addition to the circumstantial evidence from this episode it also fits with the naming of the Magellan. I can't be the only one that's ever assumed the Cortez was Galaxy class, can I? [[User:Logan 5|Logan 5]] 05:36, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC) |
||
| − | * The Venture was clearly stated as being the lead ship of the Federation reinforments, which logically would be a Galaxy class starship. Whereas the Cortez just happened to be the first ship to make it through the lines behind the Defiant, which was just a matter of skill or luck, it could be any one of those ships docked a the station at the end of the episode, or none of them. Eitehr way, there is a clear distiction between how one could clearly single out the Venture from a group of ships by the minor description given on it, versus the Cortez, which had none, other than being a random ship. As I recall, the end shot from Sacrifice of Angels wasn't as you described, but included the Yeager and a Nebula and perhaps a couple of those you descibed, but it clearly wasn;t a reuse of the shot from WotW. --[[User:Gvsualan|Alan del Beccio]] 05:41, 26 Sep 2005 (UTC) |

Second, checking the page for [[USS Magellan]] it's listing as a Galaxy is entirely based on conjecture from dialogue and the next ship seen in the shot.

At .25c, the effects of the time dialation are small and, while present, don't affect the ship all that much - ships seldom travel at Impulse speeds anyway: they spend the majority of their time at Warp or in Orbit. |

||
| − | |||
| − | Do we distinguish between Apocryphal material (disproved by onscreen evidence) and Non-Canon material (unsupported by on-screen evidence)? For example fans called the Reliant 'Avenger Class' = Apocrypha. Various computer games gave names and registery numbers to ships of this class = non-canon. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Furthermore, what do we with background material that was written and utilized by the production team, but not see on film? Here I'm thinking of the background alien descriptions in ST:TMP and ST:IV. |
||
| − | |||
| − | :As far as I know, apocrpyha and non-[[canon]] sources are one as the same. As for background info, that can be added to the article, but it mst be seperated from the rest of the text, indented, and italicized. For large amounts of background info, a "Background" section in the article will be necessary. I hope this helps. |

| − | == Removal of ''Nemesis'' Contradictions == |
||
| − | |||
| − | I noticed that recently all the "inconsitencies" sections have be removed form the ''Nemesis'' article and pertaining articles. Why was this done when ''Nemesis'' is negated by so much Television material? I would think that ''Nemesis'' would be regarded as less than canon when Television material has negated various aspects of ''Nemesis'' '''several''' times. --<unsigned> |
||
| − | |||
| − | :This was done following a previous discussion in which it was agreed that nitpicks should not be allowed within articles. Also, here, when it comes to information presented on-screen, there is non such thing as "less than canon" or "more than canon"; there is just [[canon]]. And lastly, and I have told people this before, there is a reason for everything; if you think there is an inconsistancy, it would be best not to simply dismiss it but to actually try to come up with explanations for the apparent continuity errors. Just because something that appeared in one episode or movie does not agree with something from a previous episode or movie does not mean we get to choose one or the other as canon; both are canon, we just have to deal with it.

| − | ::For example, (this is a joke here) if a [[TNG]] episode stated that [[Data]] had six fingers, and then [[Star Trek: Nemesis]] showed that he had seven fingers, then listing in the "[[Star Trek Nemesis]]" article that the movie was WRONG and that the tv series was RIGHT, this would be a wrong way to go about this. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ::Instead of putting the information in the wrong place, wouldn't it be better to add a note to the ''[[Data]]'' article that he had 6 fingers in [[2369]] and 7 fingers in [[2379]], and that this change was never explained? If you write it down like that, there's no "inconsistency" -- simply a ''change in the facts''. Also, users interested in finding out how many fingers Data has will go first to the '''Data''' article, not the '''Nemesis''' article. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ::A more real example is the removed [[Romulan ale]] nitpick. Romulan ale was illegal in the 23rd century, but it was mentioned that it was ''made legal'' during the [[Dominion War]]. Then, in ''Nemesis'', Geordi says its illegal. IF we only left information about this in a small note in the middle of the article about the film, archivists reading about Roumlan ale won't be able to find it easily. As to whether this is a "mistake" or a "nitpick", this is judgmental -- we are assuming that the producers either ''didn't know'' the change had been made, or we are assuming that they ''decided to change it'' -- we don't have confirmation of this either way. A much simpler way to state this is to '''remove the unclear item from [[Star Trek Nemesis]]''' -- and take the data and '''place it in the Romulan ale article''' -- where it is a lot more '''on-topic''' to explain that ''it is possible that it was made illegal again'' (which is entirely possible, so rather than saying "we don't know whether it was a mistake or not", maybe it would be easier to present simply the facts, without listing the unknowns, and let a reader draw their own conclusion. -- [[User:Captainmike|Captain M.K.

| − | :::So we have to live with the laziness of the Nemesis writers(lazy on checking previously stated facts)? To quote the [[Lore]] article "the first successful example of a positronic brain.", I dont know about you but B4 seemed to a pretty operational(successful) android to me. And so when the next Star Trek production comes out, and if said production has writers that are responsible writers, Nemesis will continue to plague canon material(and things not considered uncanon, but still go against the spirit of whats happened) due to it(Nemesis) being considered canon. IMO Paramount needs to set up a canon reviewal board like LucasFilm has, because the Star Wars saga has a lot more material thats considered canon than Star Trek, and Star Wars material is definetly more consistant than Star Trek material is. -- Original Question Poster 14:34 (EST), 2 March 2006 |
||
| − | :Are you asking if we "have to live with" what the writers wrote? Of course we do -- they wrote it and produced it already! |
||
| − | |||
| − | :In "[[Inheritance]]" it was stated that there '''were''' other androids built, but they were all failures -- meaning that B-4 was one of those failures, and that Lore was the first (semi-?) successful one built. Did you miss that reference? Its also been mentioned that Lore was lying about some of the things he told Data about their early life... A lot of people's "nitpicks" and "inconsistencies" are derived from the fact that they werent paying attention too well. If you want, read [[user:captainmike/nitpicks]] for an example of why it might be a little premature to express outrage about the Nemesis script. |
||
| − | |||
| − | :See, if you are actually willing to take time to consider these things, there probably arent as many contradictions as you might think. While I ''did'' find some of the writing in Nemesis to be substandard, I don't think its the best solution to make a list of things i personally didn't like -- this is an encyclopedia, not a movie review. The facts should be listed, in our articles which cite that film, from the point of view of the characters ''within'' the Star Trek universe. If you still feel there are points that are irreconcilable, maybe list them in an article, or {{ma|talk page}}, about what you feel was inconsistent (in the [[Soong type android]] article, or whatever other article is at play). We're trying to get archivists to add to our article data rather than "review" the movie in the movie article (as i said before, our [[Star Trek Nemesis]] article ''isn't'' a movie review. how many "stars" i give it versus how many "stars" you give it is really irrelevant. any uncited data about "how good a movie it was" or "how inconsistent the premises are" is really pretty biased) |

[[User:Aholland|Aholland]] 15:34, 10 March 2006 (UTC) |

Maybe (only maybe) the Jem'Hadar hologram was from Torres' program from (I think it in [[Extreme Risk]]) that she created when she found out the Maquis were gone, since it's unlikely that the Doctor would have used the program. In addition while the doctor's program was being created the Federation may have had no information on the medical nature of the Jem'Hadar and as such the politics of the situation was unimportant to his program.
