Who is 02ian? This is someone who has only made a total of 18 edits on 3 articles. --Sneg 12:07, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Beats me. I thought it was vandalism until I saw Luke80 put it there. --Sasoriza 14:54, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Protected pages
Isn't there supposed to be some explanation offered when you protect a page? Wikia bureaucracy will be along to undo the protection on Puto soon, so that us "normal" (non-admin) nobodies could be allowed to work on it. -- Captain M.K.B. 15:20, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * You're right there should be a reason. And I have no answer for you as to why it was protected.  I have "unprotected" this page against registered users.  In otherwords if you're not signed in you can't edit it.  (would love to see that done for the whole site but one project at a time).  If there is anything else I can do to help just ask.  --Sneg 04:00, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Featured articles
I think "featured articles" should be a little better than the likes of USS Nightingale, which isn't very in-depth -- for example, USS Prometheus (NX-59650). "Featured" means it should be the very best work this wiki has to offer. Maybe we should start nominating/voting on which articles are to be declared "featured", so that we can achieve consensus, and it isn't one person deciding to add the namespace to any article they like. Thoughts? --Sasoriza 08:43, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed - I just threw the USS Nightingale up there as a "place holder" - didn't think my design/layout for the main page was going to "talk off" so fast. For future Featured article - hopefully people will take the time to nominate pages for future FA status. --Sneg 12:28, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Any ideas for featured articles? --Luke80 16:27, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Suggestion
(...that doesn't have to be taken. lol) I think for a stronger table-structural layout, you could put the Celebrating 40 Years box under the Welcome to Expanded Universe box. Either way, awesome work on the main page. *thumbs up* --Hawku 02:52, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I might try to tweak somemore on my "offline" page.  --Sneg 03:57, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Quote
Would people be interested in voting/nominating "Quotes" like the way Featured articles are? I could set one up for "voting for quotes" and the quotes would have to be either Star Trek Quotes, or something from the Fan Fiction or Fan Films found here on this wiki. Thoughts? --Sneg 03:57, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * One of those java-based deals where quotes are generated randomly would be superb. Just fill in a bunch then let it do the work for you. --Sasoriza 04:09, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I think that would be cool; for people to have a chance at getting quotes from thier own works up there. It kind of keeps with the fan-works theme of the wiki - and gives an insight to thier work. :P --Hawku 04:47, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
