STO
Please note that we are not a wiki for Star Trek Online, as it is not canon. We might note some major information about the major characters or other significant things from the game in the appropriate Apocrypha section of an article, but we do not note the mere appearance of something in the game. We also do not note something that "many fans" believe unless it is well documented(with the citation included in the reference) and, again, pertains to something major and not just the mere appearance of something.--31dot 09:49, February 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Your citation needs to be from someone who works on the game explaining why the change was made, not what users may want. Also, your opinion that the STO spacedock looked similar to the ST:XI one isn't encyclopedic, since they didn't look exactly the same. - 10:54, February 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Once again, your cite contains nothing from a forum member that is part of the "cryptic studios team" explaining the change, and even if there was, the link would have to point to the correct page, not just the tread. Without such a citation, the information can't remain in the article. - 11:47, February 13, 2011 (UTC)

Memory Beta and Star Trek Online
You seem to be quite familiar with the new game, and I'd like to suggest that you check out Memory Beta, our sister wiki. There is a dearth of editors there that are familiar with STO, and your contributions and knowledge may significantly help out. This discussion should give you some ideas as to how the citation style there works (information is linked directly to the mission/etc that it comes from, rather than just the game as a whole). -- sulfur 12:04, February 13, 2011 (UTC)

CBS and Star Trek Online developers
On Archduk3's talk page, you made the comment:
 * The developers have specifically stated in videos, interviews, and forum posts that CBS has plans for a future series/movie involving the 25th Century and the stories put forth inside Star Trek Online.

Can you give links to these specific videos, interviews, and forum posts that discuss this information? Just post the list of them here. And right to the forum post, not just the thread, unless you also note exactly which post in the thread you are referring to. -- sulfur 17:24, February 17, 2011 (UTC)
