Ship article names
The ships should only have their registries in their names if they share a name with other ships. Are you sure all of the ships you're moving are multi-name ships? --Kevin W. 19:50, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Not 100% but I am attempting to sort through a lot of references. For those ships I havent created a disambiguation page by the end of my work today, i will move them back. I am not doing so right now because there would be double redirects to fix, and I dont want to leave any of those should i need to leave my work.


 * Thanks for noticing though! If you wanted to help me, maybe we could start a policy page or user project description for those that wish to work on starship articles -- im trying to sort a lot of variables right now! :) -- Captain M.K.B. 19:54, 25 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Maybe we should form a "team" to concentrate on starships. Let me think on how best to do this and get back to you on it.  --Sneg 20:47, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a great idea -- im working a mile-a-minute right now, but i have a lot of experience sorting starship-style disambiguants over at memory alpha, so i hope that everything i'm up to will end up making sense.


 * just so you know, i'm going to try and set up a model for linking to all the ships we currently have here, and use basic ones to demonstrate how new starship articles should be formed.. once i've gone through all that i have on my plate, i'd be glad to make a list of different kinds of starship articles and request input on changes. -- Captain M.K.B. 20:49, 25 September 2006 (UTC)


 * like so: User:Captainmike\Starship and class improvement roster. please leave messages here.. -- Captain M.K.B. 03:21, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Fan film episode names
I see you moved a couple of the Star Trek: New Voyages episodes to "shorter" names. I've added alot of the fan film series info, myself, and have been working with the format of "Episode name (series episode)" as the article title. For example Return to Doomsday (TotSF episode) or Heavy Lies the Crown (Star Trek: Intrepid) or The Savage Empire (Starship Exeter episode) this is to keep a sense of formating. See Chapter/Episode listing Style If you can revert your redirects that would be great. I'd do it now but I'm turning in for the nigh. Thanks. --Sneg 04:33, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Never mind. Found I have a really easy "click here" feature as Sysop to fix that.  :-)  --Sneg 04:36, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I just don't see any sense to the way you're doing it... if i wanted to link to an episode called "The Savage Empire", as an archivist here, i would type in The Savage Empire if i was a visiting reader, i certainly wouldn't be aware of the abbreviated identifier "STNV episode", and would type "The Savage Empire" into the search bar, yielding a null result... you seem to want to add a disambiguant where none is required -- this makes more work for both archivists and readers, and isn't necessary at all unless of course there were two episodes called "The Savage Empire", in which case it would be required.


 * I know this wiki was started without a lot of policy and communication skills, but i'm just trying to make you aware of a better way to do things -- i'd move all these articles back to better locations and suggest we adopt a more logical policy.. -- Captain M.K.B. 13:57, 5 October 2006 (UTC)


 * PLEASE STOP THE MOVING OF PAGES ON THIS ISSUE. Please allow discussion.  I know your intentions are good but at least allow the others to see this discussion and weigh in on it.  Thank you.  --Sneg 14:15, 5 October 2006 (UTC)


 * oh good .. the others! maybe someone will just delete them without telling me! no offense, but the sysops here have a lot to learn about running a wiki. -- Captain M.K.B. 14:16, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
