Merges
When suggesting merges, you should leave a reason as to why you feel it is a good idea on the article's talk page, such as Odo (mirror). -- Sulfur 18:34, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you for that suggestion, I've since added a reason on the Talk section of the Odo (mirror) article. Djchair 19:56, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Stubs
Please stop adding stub to articles. There are many topics where our canon information on the subject is limited at best (often only one reference in a single episode). That doesn't make the article a stub. Stubs are the beginning of a topic which can be expanded significantly. That doesn't apply to your recent edits. Thanks. -- Renegade54 19:28, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, sorry about that. After adding a good deal of the stub tag to articles, I noticed that the system administrators have already addressed that.  Again, my apologies, "new guy excitement" getting the best of me. Djchair 19:36, 19 February 2008 (UTC)


 * It's best, when you feel an article is a stub, to do a bit of research on it. If there's more information that can be added (such as the context of the reference, etc) and you can easily find that information, add it yourself.  If not, sometimes it is best to inquire on the talk page as to whether the article can be expanded at all, with a context or otherwise. -- Sulfur 19:39, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Heh, no problem. Enthusiasm is a good thing! Welcome aboard. :) -- Renegade54 19:42, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
