Deaf and Deafness Edit

I'm not sure this are great candidates for redirects. We have full articles on other medical conditions, and this one featured very prominently in at least one episode. It deserves an article, not a redirect. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 19:14, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

• Agreed. --Alan del Beccio 19:17, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Making the change. Thanks for the note. -Humu­humu­nuku­nuku­āpuaʻa 19:44, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Script info Edit

Can you please check whether the info you just added to Riva actually made it to the aired version of the episode? Many times, information from the scripts doesn't, and in these cases shouldn't be added to the articles. This might be such a case. Thanks, Cid Highwind 16:45, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Will do, I'll watch the episode in question to verify. -Humu­humu­nuku­nuku­āpuaʻa 16:47, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

My to do listEdit

Piped links Edit

Hi there. I just wanted to let you know that we prefer to have links actually going to phrase that is "visible" - so, if the text says Sol system, and we have an article called that, we prefer to have it be linked. The additional star system link isn't really necessary in that case. I hope you don't mind me changing that back? Thanks. -- Cid Highwind 18:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough. I'd seen several instances of this in the past, so I'll keep my eyes peeled and make corrections as necessary. -Humu­humu­nuku­nuku­āpuaʻa 18:04, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

nintendo forums? Edit

I was a pretty prolific poster to the nintendo forums (11000+ posts) several years back and there was a mod there with the same name. Is that you? -froth

Nope, sorry. -Humu­humu­nuku­nuku­āpuaʻa 14:28, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Just in case you're curious link. It looks like she changed her name -froth

Tom/Will RikerEdit

Check the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, second or third edition, under the entry for "Second Chances." -- SmokeDetector47^{( TALK )} 04:46, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

In addition, I just found the following refs to this idea; clearly these aren't definitive sources but prove I wasn't making this up: [1] [2] [3] [4] -- SmokeDetector47^{( TALK )} 04:54, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Much thanks! -Humu­humu­nuku­nuku­āpuaʻa 17:19, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Could you please join the IRC chat for a moment? --Jörg 16:29, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Once again please? ;-) --Jörg 14:21, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I just got them in my email, thanks! -Humu­humu­nuku­nuku­āpuaʻa 14:29, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Date Pages and "In-Universe" InfoEdit

I'm not totally convinced that all of the NASA/etc information that you have been adding this afternoon should be in the various "real world" date pages, especially as the links to the various items go to "in-universe" articles, and the two are not intended to cross over in that way. I believe that they should go into the various month articles (such as January, February, etc) instead. The date pages are intended for real world happenings related to Star Trek, such as births, deaths, production information, and whatnot. -- Sulfur 19:50, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Noted, thanks. I'll refrain adding new ones and move the items over. I didn't realize there was to be a distinction. -Humu­humu­nuku­nuku­āpuaʻa 19:52, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

That's what the "real world" indicator at the top of the pages is supposed to be. Supposed to be. :) -- Sulfur 19:53, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Which is why I was only adding "real world" events (that happened to also happen in the Star Trek universe), not fictional items like the Eugenics War. -Humu­humu­nuku­nuku­āpuaʻa 19:56, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
