Talk:San Francisco Herald

Pic
How does this pic establish that Picard is reading the Herald? Is there an instance of the masthead being clearly visible? As it stands, doesn't illustrate the San Francisco Herald at all.  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍  12:30, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Canonical question
A tricky canonical question to note here. Does something which can only be established to exist in a holodeck "count" as a part of the "real" historical record, or should it be clearly noted to have only been seen in a fictional holodeck program? The way this article stands now, it seems to be giving credence to the real-life Herald even though it's not known to have existed in the "real" Star Trek time line.

 * I don't believe there is any evidence to suggest that this was a real newspaper; in fact, it seems there is more evidence to suggest that it is not, as the program it is in is a work of fiction(Dixon Hill) not a historical representation. Unless something else establishes it as a part of reality, I think we must assume that it was not real. 31dot 12:43, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Or we can assume it was real, since the San Francisco Herald does exist. This kind of ties in with the discussion at Talk:George W. Bush. However, a line stating that it was not seen in the "real world" of Trek and only on the holodeck may be necessary. --From Andoria with Love 04:15, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
