Cardassian ranks--Sigils and Unions system
Given your wonderful work with the ranks of the various Trek species, I wanted to ask what sort of indexing and other things you believe would need to be done in order to bring the way information is listed for the Cardassian ranking system in line with yours. The ranking system itself is not going to change...but what sort of information and cross-referencing would you be looking for that would allow me to support your project through my own work? Here's what I'm referring to... Cardassian ranks

One thing that will stick out is that unlike a lot of the systems here, there is definitely not a one-to-one correspondence with Starfleet ranks (or a lot of other systems from RPGs for aliens that do use a one-to-one correspondence), and the entire cultural mindset regarding rank is different (equivalence has to be determined case-by-case, based on position, age, and a whole lot of other things in addition to one's titular rank).

Given all of this...is there anything you need from me to make things consistent? (Other than change my story, which won't happen. ;-) ) Nerys Ghemor 21:17, January 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Give me time to look at it. There are plenty of sets where there isn't an exact one-to-one correspondence. If you look at the Romulan or Klingon ranks, you'll notice that to make up for the fact that they don't have as many ranks as Starfleet, some of the ranks correspond to one or more Starfleet ranks. I'll have to take a look at your set and see. -- Kevin W. &bull; Talk to me 21:20, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Ranks
Yeah, sorry for the delay, at the moment this page is just being used as a reference page for. As the stories (eventually) go online, I plan to make the page more permanent.

Anyway, if I can, I'd like to ask a favor of you. I wonder if you (or Kuro) would be able to put the 2250s rank insignia on the red operations division uniform from the 2260s for me. The red uniforms have been seen in numerous comics etc. set in that era and would make a good alternative. Thanks in advance :) --The Doctor 12:14, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to ask another favor, but could you also create insignia for all divisions which include the 2260s ranks on the 2250s uniforms as per Star Trek: Early Voyages. Thanks once again :) --The Doctor 12:59, January 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll talk to Kuro and see what can be done. No guarantees since I don't think Kuro's taking requests right now. -- Kevin W. &bull; Talk to me 19:49, January 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, I looked over some stuff and it seems that Early Voyages follows the standard 2250s rank scheme. Am I missing something? -- Kevin W. &bull; Talk to me 01:56, January 6, 2010 (UTC)
