Tense
Please note that we use the past tense within in-universe articles. Because Star Trek stories take place in many different eras, it is important to write all articles from a single perspective: that of someone looking back at the past. This helps to keep Memory Alpha consistent and understandable. - 20:16, January 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for correcting me on this issue - I understand the reasoning and I will of course take it into account in any future contributions.


 * But how should I respond to this edit? I clicked on both parts of the link in the above paragraph (http://memory-alpha.org/en/en/wiki/User:Archduk3 and http://memory-alpha.org/en/en/wiki/User%20talk:Archduk3) and just got 404. I wandered around the site for 20 minutes looking for ways I could respond to a posting on my User_talk page. I still couldn't see what to do. I have no idea whether what I'm doing now - editing part of my User_talk page - will have any affect at all. Please talk to me in some way that I can respond!

Actually this is the best way to respond, as conversations make more sense if they remain on the same page. You can check out Help:Talk pages for more info on using talk pages. As for my sig, I had no idea it wasn't working, so I'll look into that. Thanks. :) - 21:02, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
