If you'd like to learn more about working with the nuts and bolts of Memory Alpha, I have a few links that you might want to check out:

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!--Alan del Beccio 18:56, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)
- Please do not simply copy articles from wikipedia. We are a seperate entity, and copying them is plagarism. Jaz 19:06, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)
- To clarify Mr. Jaz's outburst, please read our copyrights policy, and note that copying from other sources, websites, etc...including Wikipedia is considered a copyright violation on Memory Alpha. Our goal here is to contribute your own original content, not someone elses. --Alan del Beccio 19:13, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Edit
The season 6 episode was in italics since it refers to the ship's name from said episode, and the typical style is to italicize those names (such as TOS: "The Enterprise Incident"). -- Sulfur 13:24, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- Note that this is no longer the style. Heh. -- Sulfur 03:35, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
