Date of the original series
Actually the way you can get the date of the original series, is from Sareks age not McCoy's. McCoy was never given an age in TOS, the only person to have an age in both TOS and TNG brought up is Sarek. In, Sarek is 102 years old, and in he is 202 years old. Placing "Journey to Babel" in 2266 although this site incorrectly places it in 2268. --TOSrules 22:09, 28 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, I don't believe Sarek's age was ever established in either or . Where did you get the 202 figure from? Also,  took place after, which was established in  as being set in 2268. (Even if it took place before, it would only have been a short time prior, therefore would still be set in late 2267/early 2268.) --From Andoria with Love 07:43, 6 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Four captains
According to the Tim Russ page, he and Johnathan Frakes both stood beside four captains, yet this page shows Russ as the only one. One is wrong!
 * Nope, they're both right. Tim Russ stood next to James T. Kirk, Jean-Luc Picard , Benjamin Sisko , and Kathryn Janeway (Star Trek: Voyager). Jonathan Frakes stood next to Jean-Luc Picard (Star Trek: The Next Generation), Benjamin Sisko , Kathryn Janeway , and finally Jonathan Archer . However, this is an archive and the Tim Russ information is dated June 9th, 2004, which was correct at that time, because Frakes didn't "stand next to" Archer until May 13, 2005.--Tim Thomason 04:45, 15 Dec 2005 (UTC)

error in October 24, 2004 entry

 * that throughout the entire Star Trek universe there has not been a single reference to a toilet, and only a couple instances of one (possibly) being spotted. The only one ever to express his exigency was Zefram Cochrane in Star Trek: First Contact, needing to "take a leak"? The only other occasion that a toilet was mentioned was on DS9's "Explorers" when Jake Sisko asked his father "Where's the bathroom?"

There was a mention of toilets in a Voyager episode "Bride of Chaotica" where Neelix makes a reference to the ship's malfunctioning toilets, saying it will affect the Bolians the hardest.--This user is not Jesus 07:28, 20 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Another error: Should it be noted that the "revenge is a dish best served cold" is actually a Russian proverb?  --Beyerku 17:47, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
