Various things 
Edit
Hi KMel and welcome to MA. First, about the Duty Roster: It's probably confusing for someone unfamiliar with MA, but when episodes say "complete", it means someone has done the summary, background, etc. since the page's creation. The episodes listed on the page are those that needed work when I created the page, and we've chosen to cross off ones we complete rather than remove them because some members of the community didn't like the Duty Roster idea. "Day of the Dove" can be found on the TOS page, however.
You should also know that they don't allow uploading of personal images on here, so you'll need to upload your images somewhere else first -- make sure they are the exact size you want them to be on the Wiki, because you can't resize them due to technical limitations. Then just type the link of the image out and hit "Preview" or "Save" and you can see it.
The other thing is, don't forget to sign your posts with ~~~~, as this leaves your signature on comments. I hope I'm being helpful rather than nagging; if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. --Vedek Dukat Talk | Duty Roster 22:05, 6 Dec 2005 (UTC)
Personal images Edit
Please note that Memory Alpha does not allow personal images. Your image has been, or soon will be, deleted. If you would like a personal image on your User page you may "hotlink" it. However there are only a few sources that Wikia allows you to hotlink from. - Archduk3 19:03, December 25, 2010 (UTC)
