Animated Series?
Should info from TAS be included? It's not canon.--Roofus 01:50, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, see Memory Alpha:Content policy. --Vedek Dukat Talk 02:06, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Chapel's rank
What was Chapel's rank on the Original Series? In the Animated Series it looks like she had the single gold braid of a lieutenant, but I don't recall seeing a rank braid on her sleeve in the live-action series. That would make her either an Ensign or a non-com. If she was an Ensign than a promotion to Lieutenant (and later Lieutenant Commander) would make sense, but a non-com would fit with the description of her joining Starfleet to look for her fiancee. Any definitive answers? 68.145.128.30 19:50, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No, but her biography in The Making of Star Trek (which I assume is based on the writers guide) indicates that she was (supposed to be) a lieutenant (jg?) in TOS. Excerpt: "her rank is Lieutenant, and she will probably move up in Star Fleet medical service." Otherwise, I couldn't find anything in dialog suggesting her being an officer or non-com, except one instance where she gave someone an order to follow some medical suggestion...  --Alan 20:27, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Chapel's Marital Status
I'd have to question listing her as Roger Korby's widow - my understanding is that they never actually married? --Sahviere 17:46, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Chapel in Star Trek (2009)
I heard McCoy call for medication from a "Nurse Chapel" in the scene with Kirk in Sickbay just after his hands swelled up. Just to say. --98.209.7.101 20:10, December 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, and that reference is noted at Christine Chapel (alternate reality), linked from the note at the top of this article. :) Setacourse 20:21, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

Mothering instinct
I respectfully question the reference to Chapel's "mothering instinct" as regards the Starnes expedition children from "And The Children Shall Lead." Her activities in comforting, distracting and psycho-socially assessing them are all aspects of the practice of nursing.
