  1. Xicer
    • "After having suffered at the hands of the Borg, and endured many adventures with his crew on the Enterprise-D..." 'Endured' should be changed to 'enduring'
      • Not my nom, but I had to butt in. :P This objection falls under the "sofixit" policy. If it's this minor (one word) than you should change it yourself. IFYLOFD (You will pay the price for your lack of vision!) 01:52, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
        • And "endured" is correct anyway. Thefourdotelipsis 05:55, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
    • The page that currently links to 'Borg' is not the same Borg being talked about in the article. The link should either be removed or a new article on the Borg should be created.
      • Fixed.
    • "The Enterprise-D was the flagship of Starfleet." This sentence seems kind of thrown in there randomly. It should be reworded to flow better with article, or given better placement.
      • Tweaked.
    • "In his spare time, he would practice being a musician." Shouldn't this be in the P&T?
      • No, because it's not a part of his personality. It's a hobby.
    • Otherwise, very nice. Brilliant timing too! Xicer9Atgar(Combadge) 01:24, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
      • Thanks for the review. Thefourdotelipsis 05:55, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
  2. Floyd:
    • Contextify the Borg in the intro.
      • I'm afraid I can't do that, since all that's given in the article is that he's "a victim of the Borg."
    • "Flunked out" Rather colloquial.
      • Tis. Changed.
    • Contextify Starfleet.
      • Done.
    • I'm not gonna lie, this is awesome. Good job. IFYLOFD (You will pay the price for your lack of vision!) 01:52, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
      • Thanks, Floyd. Thefourdotelipsis 05:55, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
  3. Attack of the Clone
    • Are the refs really needed? There's only one source.
      • Not needed, but just a personal thing that I choose to do. Makes things easier if another source pops up, or I need to cite something in the BTS at some stage.
    • Per Floyd; context isn't necessary for everything, but it would be nice to know what Starfleet was and what the Borg were.
      • See above.
    • Who were Riker and Geordi? Context is given for everyone else in that sentence, so it's a bit confusing.
      • Same story, basically, they're given no context in the source.
    • Excellent work. CC7567 (talk) 02:43, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
      • I thank you, sirrah. Thefourdotelipsis 05:55, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Comments

  • Does Mirror, Mirror give any more information? Such as how the Enterprise entered the galaxy or any details on their encounter with the Empire? Xicer9Atgar(Combadge) 01:24, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
    • No, I'm afraid it's all rather vague. Thefourdotelipsis 05:55, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
