Thanks Jaz
I will slowly get the hang of it. Feel free to help or correct at any time. --Commodore B 01:44, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

A question then; I noticed that I was asked to cite a source. How do you cite a source if you invented the definition based on the name? If this is an incorrect way of doing business, then please vote to delete the article.

Thanks --Commodore B 01:50, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Well, you should probably try to avoid doing that, and get real info. But in that case, site the episode the name was used in. For example,

James Kirk is an often annoying ladies man who can't keep his shirt intact. He was the captain of the USS Enterprise. (TOS: )

see how the episode after that is formatted? (granted, that's not exactly a canon article ;-)) the three letter Series link, and then quotes and the episode. Welcome to MA by the way! -AJHalliwell 02:09, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

AJ, Thank you for the insights. Again, being an 'older' person means I have to take a little longer to get things the right way. This is why I started small... Thanks Again --Commodore B 18:10, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
