Hello all. Thanks for visiting!

I'm Ali, a proud geek based in Cambridge, UK. I have a background in science and now work in education. No doubt you 'orrible Americans will have your work cut out copyediting my contributions because they're littered with British spelling and punctuation conventions... sorry, force of habit!

Most of my contributions have been, and probably will be, related to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine... I'm a DS9 geek and proud of it. While I do like the other Trek shows, DS9 has the depth and substance to keep me watching and re-watching, make me think and question, and motivate me to write about it.

Leave a message on my talk page or email me :o)

Sub-pages

 * The Aliens of Deep Space 9 - a rogues gallery of the aliens seen in the background of the Promenade and Quark's on Deep Space 9

External pages

 * DS9 Season Guides - episode-by-episode summaries for all seven seasons of DS9 that avoid as many spoilers as possible, indicate which episodes are important for the arcs and character development, and indicate the "gold stars" and the "skip episodes" for each season (great for DS9 first-timers watching on DVD)
 * Pooh Borg - what do you give as a birthday present to a friend obsessed with the Borg and Pooh Bear? Easy! Just combine the two and assimilate Pooh!

Contributions
This many edits and counting. Click here for a list of my recent contributions.

Sadly, I don't get as much time as I would like to spend on Memory Alpha, but I do try to make contributions whenever I can. I've made a few significant contributions, and I'm proud of the articles on Quark's, the Promenade and, all of which are now featured articles!

How I wish I could get away with editing the first paragraph of the article on Nog to read:
 * "Nog was an officer on Deep Space 9. And the first Ferengi in Starfleet. Decorated combat officer, protegé, hero, son of the Grand Nagus... and oh yes, a sailor on the waters of the Great Material Continuum. Somehow we thought he'd be taller."

...but it would never be allowed ;o)

Reference Materials
I own all of the following, so if you'd like me to check some detail for you or get a scan or screen grab of something, just let me know on my talk page or email me :o)

I also own The Nitpicker's Guide for Deep Space Nine Trekkers, all of the Star Trek movies on DVD, Star Trek: The Next Generation seasons 5, 6 and 7 on DVD, and all seven seasons of Star Trek: Voyager on VHS.
