Talk:List of Former Star Trek Cast and Crew/Archive 1

How should the credits for the crew be arranged (since Ronald D. Moore is given different credits through different episodes)? DrWho42 09:30, 3 June 2007 (CDT)

In my view, it should be chronological from first position to last position; just the way you have it there, as a matter of fact. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 13:32, 3 June 2007 (CDT)

For producer credits it's completely unnecessary to list every episode someone is involved in. That would be nothing but superfluous clutter. Just noting the seasons is enough. It's also not really necessary to distinguish between things like "supervising producer" and "executive producer". The only episode listing should be for writing credits. --Serenity 14:07, 3 June 2007 (CDT)

Ron Moore listing

I'm finding the Ron D. Moore listing quite long, and probably cumbersome to read... Any thoughts as to tackle that? -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 02:15, 15 July 2007 (CDT)

Per Serenity, brevity is the soul of good reading, so the Concision Fairy is sharpening her ax, at least for the RDM item, and will note that further cuts are needed, and that more information might be found on some other wiki. --Spencerian 10:52, 15 July 2007 (CDT)

Update: DrWho42 really likes this article. I've relayed a note from the Fairy that she almost got all Paul Bunyon on that article, and asked him to trim it to quality cites. --Spencerian 11:21, 15 July 2007 (CDT)

To be honest, for the RDM stuff, we may want to do it so that, for instance, he was producer for episodes "Episode A" through "Episode Z", instead of listing every single episode between (and including) the two points. (Or we may want to do it for seasons, noting any exceptions, of course.) -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 14:19, 15 July 2007 (CDT)

Due to his long stint, going by seasons might be the best and most readable. Except for Voyager, where he was a producer for the first few episodes of Season 6 and not the whole season. --Serenity 17:39, 15 July 2007 (CDT)

Before I get to work cleaning up the article, for the Cast section: should it remain in the order of Crewmember, Credits, Series, and Episode/Film or reverse Series and Credits? (i.e. TNG: Spot's cat wrangler) DrWho42 13:19, 19 July 2007 (CDT)

The order is fine by me. --Serenity 13:34, 19 July 2007 (CDT)

Using acronyms?

Should we use the Star Trek acronyms? (TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, and ENT) DrWho42 16:54, 19 July 2007 (CDT)

I guess as long as we define them before hand, that'd be fine. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 17:55, 19 July 2007 (CDT)

Appeased Fairy?

Is the Concision Fairy pleased with the edits I've implemented from the previous version? DrWho42 15:09, 20 July 2007 (CDT)

Yeah, all in all it looks way better now :)

Small comment: The Ron Moore entry is somewhat messed up, as the show column doesn't line up correctly with the episodes column. So "VOY" is next to DS9" episodes. Maybe some more line breaks could push it further down. --Serenity 15:13, 20 July 2007 (CDT)

Row coloring?

I was thinking that, to make this more readable, we may want to consider adding a slightly different background color for every other field. Thoughts? -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 23:10, 18 August 2007 (CDT)

It would definitely improve readability for the last table. I'm all for it. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 05:33, 19 August 2007 (CDT)
