message: I removed the below quote because it didn't fit in the section it was in and I wasn't sure of it's relevance to the article as a whole. If it deserves to be in another part that's fine.
Here is the quote taken from "Prodution" at the end of the second paragraph in that section:
"Included is the mention of M'Ress being a Caitian. There is also a hand drawn map of Cait's location in the Lynx constellation."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.110.232.104 (talk) 23:51, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

message: this was pretty much garbage.  I have removed.  Some of the references I checked into simply didn't check out at the first time, so I added an actual explanation of the canon status, based on printed reliable sources at the Star Trek: The Animated Series#Canon status section.  Having two sections about this, one containing badly sourced information and gives undue weight to a minuscule debate within fandom, and one containing actual information about what writers were and weren't allowed to do).  The Spaceflight Chronology does not contain any such text as is attributed to it here.   Startrek.com whilst it is an official site, the canon stuff about it editorial opinion, not a pronouncement ex cathedra.  etc etc.  Stardates mean bugger all in TOS, and its ludicrous to even consider them for dating.    There was nothing salvageable in the section.   What we might note is that the Voyages of the Imagination timeline puts TAS in 2269-2270 and Okuda doesn't leave any space for it.  We can do that in a sentence or maybe two if we were being wordy.  Morwen - Talk 20:50, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Why didn't they use the theme song from TOS? Were their copyright/legal reasons that they had to use an altered theme song? Or, did they feel that a slightly different theme song would give the animated series a fresh new feel? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.65.69.43 (talk • contribs).
:I've also wondered why there's no credit for the music. Actually I haven't ... it seems someone was basically told "Come up with a take on Courage's theme that would be suitable for my nephew's bar mitzvah" and then found to his horror that it was actually used, and successfully got his name kept off the credits.

Then I went to Wikipedia's page of Recent Changes and didn't see my change. I wonder why not? Thanks.

message: I don't want to step on anyone's toes, but the section that includes:
"There were also occasional mistakes ... These were typically isolated errors... Occasionally, though, parts of episodes would be animated at a near-theatrical quality level."
Could use a rewrite for consistency, maybe with a citation clarifying just how good or bad or consistent or inconsistent the art was or wasn't. --Thomas B♘talk 04:17, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Unsourced material 

message: The intro paragraph states that some episodes were "contributions from well-known science fiction authors."  As such, I feel that I must take issue with the last bullet section mentioning "The Magicks of Megas-tu" by a Larry Brody.  My research shows that Mr. Brody is NOT a known or well-known science fiction author.  He is, however, a known or well-known SCRIPT writer.  Just because one writes SF scripts does NOT mean that person is an SF author {"SF author" meaning published in science fiction magazines, anthologies, and/or novels}.
Granted, Mr. Brody is published, but NOT as science fiction.
Therefore, I think the bullet section mentioning him should either be removed or replaced.68.231.83.123 (talk) 00:17, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Apparently an episode of the new animated series "may" make this series "canon". Such claims must be supported by reliable sources. For us to add such statements solely on the basis of our own interpretation is original research. 
That said, limiting any claims to strictly describing what's shown in the episode is fine; that's no different from a plot summary. Cheers. DonIago (talk) 00:40, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Composer links need to be fixed 

message: Don't want to edit the article myself, but didn't the S4 Lower Decks episode "Caves" feature Vendorians who were introduced in TAS episode "The Survivor"?  Lower Decks is doing such a great job of incorporating past story lines, and as mentioned this kind of makes TAS canon whether officially recognized or not. Probably just an update that hasn't happened yet as the Lower Decks episode is new, but I think we should add it. 67.168.121.181 (talk) 07:39, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
