Talk:Romulan

message: The article currently states that Romulan appearance was changed again in Picard to remove Romulan ridges. This is not true. First, it was established in TNG that although most Romulans we see in that time have ridges, not all did. For example, a Romulan woman posed as a Vulcan diplomat, and Spock was able to pass as a Romulan on Romulus without the ridges. There were also many Romulans in the "Star Trek: Enterprise" series who could pass as Vulcans. In Star Trek: Picard, the male housekeeper of Picard on earth (and former Tal'Shiar), Zhaban, has some ridges. The female housekeeper, Laris, did not. When they had captured one of the Romulans that tried to kill him, that Romulan had ridges. Laris said something about him being a stubborn northerner like Zhaban. This seems to indicate that the presence or absence of ridges depends on which area the Romulans come from. --Daniel (talk) 06:00, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Ridges not removed in Picard

message: It was implicitly stated several times (by "Spock")in the original TV series that Vulcans had full, intense telepathic and meantal "projective" abilities, that eventually drove them to the edge of madness, as they were able to read each other minds, and were also able to mentally attack each other!  Spock also stated only the "discipline" of "Logic" was able to "regulate", and therefore adequately suppress their extra-mental powers as well a their emotions, one being of factor to the other!  Vulcans can variably "read" both 'emotions' (which implies that they can efficiently interpret them,) as well as "surface" and sublime thoughts,) except that full-on telepathy requires willfully-and with great personal effort and cost-a lowering of inherent "flattened" emotions...or, rather, "heightening" them;  but it also seems that they must necessarily employ tactile, physical contact at the temples of the cranium closet to the frontal lobes of the brain. this implies that not all mental defenses are "exposed" (lowered) in this manner;  The Vulcan's Telepathic veracity is linked to their emotions!  It would seem that since the Romulans haven't exhibited explicitly any telepathic ability, they may have found themselves to do the exact opposite of the Vulcans: Either they evolved to discard their telepathy, or their base emotions serves to "numb", or suppress this ability; (or, found a way of discarding this "power" altogether). They may even be impervious to "outside" telepathy altogether, and therefore become "inscrutable" to other aliens in this regard, especially Vulcnas!!!  --184.248.4.182 (talk) 06:29, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mental Resonance 

message: The Biology section has a tag from 2009 that much of the material is original reasearch, other citation needed tags, and alot of info that is simply trivial (such as the section on the appearance of the Romulans in the recent reboot movie). Looking at objectively, it appears that most of it is based upon material from various episodes/movies, but is not cited as such and should really be chopped down. I hate those people who come on the Talk section and say This Sucks! with no suggestion of a fix, but I'm new to the page and don't want to step on any toes so I'm wondering about opinions. I'd be happy to offer up a suggested edit, but as I've said above, I'm not sure people will be too please because I'm betting it'll be pretty slim.

message: Should we move or remove the section "Romulans in the Alternate Reality"? After all, Star Trek only features Romulans who were from the Prime Reality. Little to nothing was seen about the actual Romulans of the Alternate Reality. Transphasic (talk) 01:57, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

message: I note that there is an essay WP:Blanking sections sometimes violates policies. I would think that the arguments it contains would be even more applicable when its an entire article that is being blanked. What's the point of AFD if any editor is free to blank an article? This article exists on Wikipedia in 23 other languages, which seems like a lot of consensus to be going against. The mighty pig (talk) 01:39, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree - this should have been talked about so I restored the original full page. No other "Star Trek Race" page has been similarly deleted or had reduction in content, so why are we doing it on this page? Needs to be brought to Talk. Ckruschke (talk) 14:48, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article blanking 

message: Wow! there's an awful lot of discussion here, and an awful lot of content in the actual article.
Now, I'm going to do something a bit unkind and controversial: I'm going to suggest that "Romulans" and the "Romulan Star Empire" are not real. I realise that some of the more ardent Trekkies will be sharpening their bat'leths and baying for my blood for saying so, but the fact remains that I'm right.
This whole article should - if I'm brutally honest - be scrapped, or at least SEVERELY pared back and merged into some kind of all-encompassing article about "Star Trek". It really does not reflect credit on Wikipedia as a ( - supposed - ) organ of serious factual content that there should be such an "in-depth" article about what is ( - essentially - ) nonsense. Leave it to "Memory Alpha" and other such Wikis.
I'm sorry if I've made anyone cry by shattering any delusions, but I suspect I've done you a favour in a way you probably don't yet appreciate.

message: How come there's no section regarding Romulan language? It seems there is a rich set of Romulan words mentioned both in & out of the Star Trek franchise.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pintogrunt (talk • contribs) 12:37, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Romulan language 

message: A page titled List of Star Trek spacecraft (see link: Lists_of_Star_Trek_spacecraft) shows a section with a listing of links to various group of starships belonging to major races. The listing shows something like Borg starships, Cardassian starships, Ferengi starships, etc., and the list includes "Romulan starships (includes the Romulan Warbird of TNG)"
When clicking on that link, it only leads to the page about Romulans (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romulan), with no detailed mention of any starships.
What happened to the page about Romulan starships? Did someone decided to delete it? It would be considered important to have this page still active, and give detailed information about the Romulan starships, specially when needing to know class names, and names of any starships. Something similar to Klingon_starships
As far as I know, the purpose of Wikipedia is not to force people to find information somewhere else. I came here to find information on Romulan starships, find the page missing, and had to go find the details somewhere else. It is like tearing out a page from a book, and expect you to go to another bookshop and look for another book for the information you seek.
Would someone please restore the page related to Romulan starships, or if it is deleted forever, then would someone with website experience please set up a new one?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:4880:B01:80C9:8151:70E:D4E (talk) 14:16, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't wish to be unkind, but please remember that Star Trek is fiction. The Romulans aren't real. The article previously was structured in such a way as to constantly imply that they were (and was also almost totally unreferenced). If Reliable Sources can be found that discuss how TV set and model designers actually created Romulan vessels for use in the show and films, then that can certainly be included in the article, but we really must not present Romulan vessels as if they are somehow real. There is already Memory Alpha for that. Midnightblueowl (talk) 22:16, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
