editing discussion pages
It is normally considered "bad form" to edit posts by other people in the discussion pages for articles. --OuroborosCobra 19:30, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Repeated edits
When making edits, it's best to use the show preview button to check out your changes. I've noticed that recently, you've been making a lot of edits, especially on talk pages. Please try to keep the repeated edits to a minimum so as to save wear and tear on the db if you can. Thanks! -- Sulfur 02:00, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Again, please use the show preview button. Many of your edits to Borg philosophy could have been avoided. Thanks. – Cleanse 10:51, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

For future reference...
Please limit Ten Forward discussions to issues concerning the operation and policies of Memory Alpha. Questions and comments regarding subjects in the Trek universe, such as what you posted here, are what the reference desk is here for. Thanks in advance. --From Andoria with Love 11:14, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

New Categories
FYI: It is generally in everyone's best interest to suggest new categories before creating them. --Alan 10:07, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Kirk Quotation
Just to clarify, my only real issue with the Peter Pan-realted quotation was that it required some knowledge of the context to make it meaningful, otherwise it just seemed like a somewhat random line. The other quotations are all specifically about the characters on those pages and require little/no contextual knowledge to make sense of them (e.g. "So you're the commander of Deep Space Nine..."). Also, I think the ideal quotation would be someone (possibly the person in question, as is the case with Janeway) actually describing the character in question and summing them/their role up in a succint sentence. The Peter Pan quotation didn't do that and so I nixed it. Sorry if that offended. --Jayunderscorezero 21:11, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * As for a proposed alternative, about half of the quotations currently under "Existential Kirk" on the James T. Kirk page would be ideal, in my opinion. --Jayunderscorezero 21:17, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
