Canon policy
and policies doesn't currently allow for new articles to be made concerning topics that haven't been revealed in Star Trek movies or episodes (any of the filmed material). This is called canon.

A character like "Wilson Evergreen" was never mentioned on the show itself -- the name is derived from a non-canon source -- a novel. Therefore he is not eligible to be featured in his own article, although feel free to list information about him in the article about that novel -- in this case, The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh, Volume 1. -- Captain Mike K. Barteltalk

Oh I see. I'll make the changes now. Sorry about that. However, in the article you made, you claimed that Evergreen was the main plot. He's only a minor gear in the whole machine.--Gerald 03:22, 27 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Image names
Might wanna rename it next time, File:0743507576.01. AA240 SCLZZZZZZZ .jpg is pretty hard to remember. ;) --Broik 03:27, 28 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Oops ok. I scanned that image on another computer and the naming turned all funny when I transferred it to mine. I'll do that next time.--Gerald 03:31, 28 Oct 2005 (UTC)
