One other suggestion: if you're going to make comments on talk pages or make other sorts of comments, please be sure to sign them with four tildes (~~~~) to paste in your user name and the date/time of the comment.
If you have any questions, please feel free to post them in our Ten Forward community page. Thanks, and once again, welcome to Memory Alpha! – Tom 15:27, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Renaming pages
Edit
Rather than creating a second version of the same page... may I suggest using the "move" function at the top of the page to rename it? -- Sulfur 16:11, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Episode linksEdit
One other thing... when linking to episodes, please use the "episode link" template, {{e}}, to do so. This links to the proper page, formats it properly, and allows us other options in maintenance for these links. Thanks. -- Sulfur 16:30, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Featured Article Nominations Edit
Hi there. I noticed you have made several contributions to articles here on Memory Alpha. Perhaps you would consider voting for one (or more) of our nominees in the featured article nomination process? If you support an article as one of Memory Alpha's best works, simply put Support along with your reasoning. If you object to an article becoming featured, just put Oppose along with your reasoning. Featured articles help us to showcase the Memory Alpha community's ability and it's only through the participation of users such as yourself that we can get these articles featured. Thanks for your time. Live long and prosper! -- | TrekFan Open a channel 15:04, February 23, 2011 (UTC)
Talk pages Edit
Just FYI, when posting on a talk page, please keep your indentation consistent throughout the section you are posting on. For example, if you were the first poster, always use no indentation in that section. If you were the second, always use one; if you were third, always use two, and so on. This makes it easier to keep track of who wrote what. Thanks --31dot 12:46, March 24, 2012 (UTC)
