The Enterprise doctor that gets killed and replaced by McCoy. I can't seem to find the right spelling for his name. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 91.200.122.230 (talk).

Puri. It's an Indian name from the novelization.--Tim Thomason 15:18, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Removed from Academy Years Edit

At Starfleet Academy, he was top of his class in anatomical and forensic pathology, and organized the Academy's first Astrophobia seminar.

The above information does not come from the film itself, but from one of the online bios. --TimPendragon ^Hail 04:59, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Doesn't that mean it can be included in a "Background information" section or indented in italics? —Josiah Rowe 05:13, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 05:16, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Would still need to be incited from a production material...unless it's from Countdown or other such Apocrypha...in which case it belongs in that section. — Morder 05:18, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Wouldn't the film's official website constitute either "Other information derived from production staff" or "Reference works created by non-production staff", as discussed here? —Josiah Rowe 05:28, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Change 2255 McCoy Photo Edit

Can we please have someone change this photo. Something where he isn't caught with his mouth open 79.97.208.89 19:59, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

That can be done, but are you sure? It's so McCoy. --Alientraveller (talk) 22:59, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

The current photo is OK with me, though I don't outright oppose the concept of changing it if a better one comes along. 31dot (talk) 23:08, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Ex Wife's Name and Biography Edit

Just noticed today that the Star Trek promotional app was updated with a new quiz about Bones, which upon completion awards a detailed biography of the character. This biography includes many details never before revealed in any canon or non-canon sources, including the identity of his ex-wife, Pamela Branch (not Nancy Carter as is sometimes speculated, but whether or not that can be carried over to the Prime Bones is questionable.)

Now I'm sure Memory Alpha policy doesn't consider App biographies to be canon sources, but it might be worth including in a apocrypha section. Dr. Cheis (talk) 04:33, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

her name was also mentioned as Pamela Branch in issue 17 of the comic book series. Jkirk8907 (talk) 05:04, May 19, 2013 (UTC)JKirk8907

It would indeed be appropriate Apocrypha information. 31dot (talk) 09:07, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
