 * I guess I will respond here since that is the fashion. Thank you for the welcom and I like your name. It is good to see someone's willing to do that after the (accident edit war) way we met. PCPatrol 23:54, 28 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah, again, I apologize for that. I was unaware of the discussion in Ten Forward. Real quickly, though, instead of changing "actress" to "actor" in the articles, what do you say to changing BOTH "actor" AND "actress" to "performer"? We have bots that can do this for us; would that be sufficient? :) --From Andoria with Love 23:57, 28 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * Well like i said in Tenforward, I think it might mean we have to keep monitoring new pages, but that sounds like a good strategy since it is the way you do categories already. PCPatrol 23:58, 28 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I hate to tell you this, but a consensus has been reached over at Ten Forward and the community has decided that changing the term "actor" to "actress" is not needed. And frankly, due to the reasons listed there, especially those of Gvsualan, I'm afraid I have to agree. Therefore, the edits you made to the performer articles have been reverted (not by me, though) and the subject is now pretty much closed.

However, I hope this does not dissuade you from making edits and contributions in the future. We here at Memory Alpha value the opinion of all users, whether or not we disagree with them, and we urge you to voice any concerns you may have regarding the site, as you did with this topic. Furthermore, we hope you find M/A to be a valuable, resourceful, and fun project to participate in and share your (assumed) love of Star Trek and hope you have better experiences with your future contributions. To quote Q's last words in the final episode of TNG: "See you... out there!" :) --From Andoria with Love 07:27, 29 Aug 2005 (UTC)
