While your attempts to contribute are appreciated, I'm sure, please refrain from using material that is considered non-canon. Anything that has not been referenced to on-screen -- in the episodes or the films -- is considered non-canon. Any posting of information not considered canon will be ultimately be deleted, and, in the case of Cardassian system, will be protected against editing if is continuously edited. Please read Memory Alpha:Content policy FAQ for further information. --Shran 06:20, 9 Jul 2005 (UTC)
While I would be willing to hear you out, I am not the one you should be discussing this issue with as I am not an admin and, as such, I do not make the rules. Good luck, though. --Shran 06:40, 9 Jul 2005 (UTC)
The admins are not ignoring you. Check the bottom of Talk:Cardassian system. --Shran 07:14, 9 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Nevermind, I see you see it, therefore I see that this message was unneeded. You see? --Shran 07:16, 9 Jul 2005 (UTC)
Legal, I believe so. But I've never seen a real good reason for having it. It's on a number of Voyager pages, including "Good Shepherd", which was voted for Featured Article status, so the admins must not have a problem with it being there. - AJHalliwell 01:37, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)
Hey, good job with the data tables for the episodes. Just to let you know, though, I think you should try to keep the ampersands (the "&" characters) and the word "and" in the writing credits, because I believe they want them written the way they appeared on screen. --Shran 04:33, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)
Hm, Assignment: Earth, one of my favorite TOS episodes. I look forward to your major rewrites/contributions coming! And the pictures certainly add to the articles, great job! Just two small things; if the pictures could be a little bit smaller, and if you could cite them with formatting and everything, it would be appreciated. Like i did for: File:ServoActivates.jpg. Also note the use of {{imageparamount}} , as used for all screencaps. Have fun with the ep, - AJHalliwell 01:18, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)
(Re:TAS canon) While the writers and Gene Roddenberry did say that the Animated series was not canon, there have been several references to it in other series (and by the way, "Yesteryear" is an episode considered canon because it's mainly about Spock, and written by the man who created much of the background for Spock.) so Memory Alpha counts all TAS as canon. - AJHalliwell 22:41, 31 Jul 2005 (UTC)
