Talk:USS Melbourne (Nebula class)

How did we get here...
...and other questions that can be summed up in five or less yes or no questions: Hence, there was the Excelsior-class USS Melbourne, and at least one unnamed Nebula-class starship at Wolf 359. Any other reasoning requires you to answer differently to these questions or refuse to use common sense, and only one of those answers can be disputed. This page is here to explain the conflict in our resources, per our policies, instead of spreading it out over multiple pages, and to make this easy to find by having it both a suggestion in the search box and in the newly created retcon category. This is not an invitation to continue the seemly endless discussion on this, just a summary and an explanation for the change in where this information is displayed. - 19:20, April 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) Was a Nebula-class ship seen at Wolf 359? Yes.
 * 2) Was an Excelsior-class ship seen at Wolf 359? Yes.
 * 3) Were both labeled as the USS Melbourne? Yes.
 * 4) Was only one of those labels readable? Yes.
 * 5) Can there be only one Melbourne at Wolf 359? Per consensus and then policy, yes.


 * Well, I for one subscribe to these findings and recap. Furthermore it fits common practice here at MA, just as in the "remastered" cases, that, when in contradiction, the most recent, and in this case the legible one goes, as far as the naming is concerned...Additionally, the old consensus reached by completely disregarding the Nebula-class, mentioned by Pseudohuman here, at the recent failed Battle of Wolf 359 FA nomination IMHO also seems a bit odd, as it is visually seen, not only once but twice. My two cents.--Sennim (talk) 11:27, April 22, 2013 (UTC)


 * P.S.: Speaking of "remastered", it might, just might, be worth to hold off on further discussions for a bit, and wait and see what TNG remastered is going to do with the BOBW two-parter, to be released any minute now. Reportedly, all "graveyard" footage shot for the episode will be restored...If it is warranted, possible and feasible, I have no doubt any continuity issues will be addressed, Mike Okuda is just the man to do such.--Sennim (talk) 11:40, April 22, 2013 (UTC)


 * I have seen it. Graveyard sequence was fully restored, nothing added, nothing removed, only better quality. --Pseudohuman (talk) 11:51, April 22, 2013 (UTC)
