POV in articles
Please note that when writing articles (whether new or expanding current ones, such as your recent Black sheep article), please be sure to stick to simply the facts, and try to avoid any personal opinion or wording that can be construed as non-encyclopedic POV material. In the case of your recent article, the comments about DS9 being the black sheep of the Trek family can be construed this way. If it was a quote from a bona fide Trek reference book (such as the DS9 companion), then cite it properly. Please see its talk page for more details. Do not just continue to re-add the information. -- Sulfur 20:34, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

My apologies on the block. Alan pointed out that you had cited it this time, even though I missed the citation in the style it was written. However, the note on removing policy discussions from your talk page still stands... :) -- Sulfur 20:41, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Copyrighted Images
Please do not submit copyrighted images, such as the image of Zoe Saldana, without first obtaining permission from the copyright owners. Doing so could jeopardize the whole MA project.
