message: Can someone point out which episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine mentioned Tom Servo? We could use a specific reference. Thanks. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 13:42, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been checking on this as well, and I don't believe it was ever in an episode specifically.  It seems to have been just one of many "in jokes" in the Promenade Store Directory (along with Red Dwarf and Hitchhiker's Guide references).  But the directory was probably never shown closely enough on-screen for it to be read.  This bit of trivia appears to have been made public in a special feature on the Season 5 dvd release, if this page at memory-alpha.org is trustworthy. 65.31.197.14 16:15, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I hadn't noticed that Memory Alpha is a wiki as well. This makes it ineligible for use as a reliable source, as anyone can edit it (as I confirmed by nearly creating an article for "Tom Servo's Used Robots" anonymously) and there is no professional editorial review. (That's also why we can't use Wikipedia articles as references for other Wikipedia articles, only as see-alsoes.) Do we have a better source? ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:04, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I was the one who provided that link.  I didn't really intend to use Memory Alpha as the source.  I was thinking we could track down the source through them.  Does anyone have the Season 5 dvd release of DS9?  It shouldn't be too tough to double check.  Jwadeg 16:40, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I own the MST3K movie "The Skydivers", and was wondering when does the all black Servo make his cameo?
I have yet to see this.
: I've removed the statement, as it's too vague to properly verify. It was probably meant to connect the theater-Servo with the "Tom Star Show" in the teaser (opening) segment, where Servo has turned himself into a planetarium projector, his opaque head pierced with "star" points. The problem is that this is almost certainly not the same opaque Servo, because (A) the pinpoints might have interfered with future theater segments, and (B) Best Brains had no particular need to limit their Servos to two, as they amply demonstrated in at least four episodes I can recall offhand. This claim appears to be yet another case of a fan trying to make more connections out of what they see on the screen than they have evidence for. I've said it many times before in these articles, but we are supposed to limit our prose to that which is verifiable through specifically cited reliable sources. Let's try to avoid the fancruft, please. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:50, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I was able to find the page that the construction history link previously linked to before a domain change at that site. But I can't find the page about the history of the heads used on the Tom Servo puppet, does anybody know where it is? 65.96.242.22 (talk) 22:11, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

message: ive added some info about toms arm movement. a lot of people, thanks to tom always saying it in the show, think his arms never moved, but they did. in this episode you see him moving a magazine with them 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ClJaz7grEw&feature=youtu.be&t=2399 
and then from season two i think they inserted the bladders to move them up and down, which can be seen in ep 1 of season 2 they can be seen moving up and down, watch his arms closely as he sings daisy daisy and youll see them do it clear as day 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVkqHqDUY5E&feature=youtu.be&t=181
they also move earlier in the ep when crow says not to use novocain but its not as noticeable and he only does it once. also ive yet to trawl through the previous 2 seasons  (seasons 0 and 1) fully yet to see if they go up and down there also but i think its just season 2 onwards, i could be wrong)
im new to the show and decided to watch from series 0 onwards, im up to season 4 so far, but noticed that even though he said they never moved, they did. then i watched a vid on making a version of him, but there was no mention of his arms moving, then i found this http://sol.semo.edu/mst3k/botbuilding/Bot%20Builders%20Booklet%20-%20Workbench%20Edition.pdf
at the end of page 4 and start of page 5 it etion his arm assembly and how they worked. it goes a bit more in depth on the second paragraph of page 9 and even has a pic of the doll used. now my edit to the page i tried to contain links and the info itself, but i suck at editing wikipedia pages, so if anyone, using the references ive provided here with these links, can tidy up my edits please, or do a better job to explain the info, it would be great, that way people would finally know that toms arms do in fact move, and moved from pretty early on in the show. he deserves it, i mean look at him, he's so cute.
thankyou to whoever takes on the daunting task of editing my horrendous edit.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:4C12:CA00:7197:C96F:42EF:8FC7 (talk) 23:28, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
