Removal pre-amble Excelsior-class
Edit
I have removed and edited the following section:
{{
- See also: Excelsior class model.
The Excelsior-class was originally designed by Bill George and built at ILM for Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.
After several refurbishes, it was given entirely new arrangements and details to represent a refit modification, the USS Enterprise-B for Star Trek Generations. These refit modifications were designed by John Eaves under the supervision of production designer Herman Zimmerman. The intent was to make these modifications removable after the film was complete, but the glue used to attach the new components made this impossible.
A new physical model was later built by Greg Jein to once again represent the USS Excelsior in VOY: "Flashback", at a smaller scale. It was replaced by a CGI model for the later seasons of DS9 and VOY. (See main article: Excelsior class)
}}
Reasons for removal:
- The subject now has its very own page.
- A preamble like this, as per notification at the top of the page, has no place on this page as it does not refer to "recycled" classes, nor has the type ever been else than Excelsior-class..--Sennim 13:26, October 3, 2011 (UTC)
Removal pre-amble Miranda-class
Edit
I have removed and edited the following section:
{{

The Miranda-class was originally designed by Joe Jennings and Mike Minor and was built by ILM to represent the USS Reliant in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. The Reliant model later appeared as the USS Saratoga in the opening scenes of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and as the USS Brattain in TNG: "Night Terrors". (See main article: Miranda class.)
- Modifications
- The upper "roll bar" was at one point removed from the model to represent the USS Lantree in TNG: "Unnatural Selection".
- In addition to the removed "roll bar", the USS Saratoga from DS9: "Emissary" possessed additional "sensor pods", affixed above the nacelles to either side of the primary hull.
- The Soyuz-class USS Bozeman in TNG: "Cause and Effect". (See main article: Soyuz class.)
- A CGI version of this design was later created as the USS Majestic for DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels", as well as several other ships and episodes of DS9. Unlike the previous versions, which all had blacked nacelles, the CGI was given a blue glow.

Reasons for removal:
- The subject now has its very own page.
- The pre-amble, being as it is incomplete, uncited, rambling, etc, etc is now more than covered by said page.--Sennim 02:45, October 15, 2011 (UTC)
