I do not think the recently added [[:Category:Species|Species]] category is appropriate for this page. Species is a term used specifically to classify biological lifeforms, not just things that are alive(the reason given for reverting my removal). Perhaps a new category would be useful here, but I don't think it should be that one. We don't categorize other artificial lifeforms like [[Soong-type android]] as a species, or [[hologram]], or even [[Emergency Medical Holographic program]].--[[User:31dot|31dot]] 09:23, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

Revision as of 22:22, 20 August 2011

Moved from Nominations for featured articles

Exocomp
All of the necessary information seems to be there. It could use a polish, but i'm certain it being on the featured table will help that happen. Jaf 21:12, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Cleanup

I've cleaned up the wording and formatting of the article, fixed some typos, and removed a number of redundant links.. "The Quality of Life" has no summary at all, but this article covers pretty much all of the events in the episode, so I've filled out the episode with most of the information from this article.. Maybe the article should be trimmed down to cover the facts about exocomps and not sound so much like an episode summary? Skold 14:12, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Living creatures

Shouldn't we add androids and exocomps to the Species category? The episode makes it pretty clear that they are sentient lifeforms 187.38.215.80 17:06, February 17, 2011 (UTC)

Porygon

Is the similarities to the Pokemon a coincidence? http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/137.shtml Or am I just the only one that sees this? <unsigned>The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.229.236.80 (talk).

Pretty sure that's a coincidence. -Angry Future Romulan 22:10, March 11, 2011 (UTC)
It's definately a coincidence since Pokemon was created in 1996 and this episode aired in 1992. Although I see the resemblence, to me that particular look is typical of a small robot. --| TrekFan Open a channel 23:06, March 11, 2011 (UTC)
Alright, I was just curious if there was any information. And I was thinking that the Pokemon was modeled after the Exocomps, not the other way around. If I ever meet the creator of Pokemon I will ask him.<unsigned>The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.229.236.80 (talk).

Category

I do not think the recently added Species category is appropriate for this page. Species is a term used specifically to classify biological lifeforms, not just things that are alive(the reason given for reverting my removal). Perhaps a new category would be useful here, but I don't think it should be that one. We don't categorize other artificial lifeforms like Soong-type android as a species, or hologram, or even Emergency Medical Holographic program.--31dot 09:23, July 1, 2011 (UTC)
