thread_title: TAS uniforms

message: In the section "Star Trek II through Star Trek VI and Star Trek:Generations" the last paragraph switches from realworld POV to fictional POV using dates of the Star Trek universe instead of referencing the production. I think this page should not be about speculations about the ST universe. 84.0.117.17 (talk) 15:35, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  In-world phrasing 

message: "Both male and female characters wear a micro-skirt version of the uniform in the show's first season (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint"), which many fans found distasteful. After the outcry, the male micro-skirt was never seen again."
My memory of the early Next Gen eps is hazy but I think I would definitely recall if Picard or the other male characters were wearing microskirts. Grcaldwell (talk) 20:00, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: They never had any of the male leads wear them, but check Memory Alpha's equitable article and I think there's a screenie for evidence.  —  pd_THOR | =/\= | 02:04, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Correct; none of the main characters wore the "skant" uniform, but it was seen many times on background characters. Sings-With-Spirits (talk) 21:17, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Microskirts

message: Someone recently added startrekpropauthority.blogspot.com as a reference in several spots. The blog author's profile indicates he's some sort of automotive technician. Is there any compelling reason to think this self-published source meets the "authority in the subject" exception at WP:V? --EEMIV (talk) 19:24, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That has no semblance to a reliable source and you have my support to commence orbital bombardment.  —  pd_THOR | =/\= | 23:04, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Star Trek prop authority" 

message: The content at Starfleet ranks and insignia is overwhelmingly in-universe, but the insignia and trappings of custume-ry seem appropriate for inclusion in this article. With some trimming of both original research, trivia, and redundant information, it seems plausible that the tiny details of Starfleet rank pins & insignia can be covered in the overarching article about Starfleet uniforms. --EEMIV (talk) 21:02, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Most of the images could not be migrated from the ranks article, as they largely fail WP:NFCC as they are now, but I think that combining them would be ideal. There's tons of information on the development of the various costumes (some of which is in the film articles I've worked on, plenty more elsewhere) so I think addressing them together would be best for both topics.

thread_title:  Collecting references 

message: "A rank of fleet captain is mentioned in two episodes, but no insignia are shown. An August 3, 1978, memo describing the sleeve stripes for The Motion Picture does not mention the rank of lieutenant j.g., assigning its insignia to ensign, and identifies the rear admiral insignia as having one double-width stripe below one regular-width stripe."
I removed these statements from the general Rank and Insignia section for various reasons. First, the bit about fleet captains is better suited for the TOS section, but would need a fuller discussion of the rank stripes for all other ranks as well. Second, the memo comment seems to be dealing with development rather than with what is shown onscreen. At any rate, it seems to contradict the description of admiral's stripes in the TMP section. Developmental ideas can be included, but it should always be made clear the ways in which they differ from the filmed product. 
If anyone wants to more fully incorporate this material, please do so. --Khajidha (talk) 23:53, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  My cuts 

message: "Beverly Crusher often wears a blue laboratory coat over her standard uniform, beginning in TNG: "The Naked Now." The lab coat was primarily developed to hide Gates McFadden's pregnancy. "
This is logically false, The Naked Now is early 1st season, and her pregnancy was 4th season, so it couldn't have been developed for the purpose of something that nobody knew would happen years later.  I don't know if we should just change it to "lab coat was used throughout season 4 to hide her pregnancy", or if someone can do more research and figure out if it was indeed used in season 1, and why.

thread_title:  Gates' pregnancy and labcoat 

message: An interesting sidelight on the green-or-gold TOS command tunics…the Gold Key comic book series that began in 1967 has them colored green until issue #17, when they change to gold. That’s inside…on the cover, whether a photo or a drawing, they are usually green up to that point, but occasionally gold.  71.162.113.226 (talk) 01:52, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Comic book TOS tunics 

message: I think a bit of rearrangement of sections is in order. I recommend:
#Pilots
#Original series
##Uniforms
##Insignia
###Ranks
###Service
#Original film franchise
#The Next Generation franchise
#Prequil franchise
##Star Trek: Enterprise
##Star Trek: Discovery
#Reboot films
This way, the original series conception is established first, and variations in colors and rank insignia should be covered in each succeeding section after 2.
Would this give anybody heartburn if I made these changes? (With minimal change to existing text, of course.) JustinTime55 (talk) 12:36, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Better organization? 

message: This is introduced where it's said Rodenberry mandated it, but it is not explained anywhere exactly what it is. That should be added to the Insignia section. JustinTime55 (talk) 20:47, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

message: The green-then-tan colors of the command tunics are well documented by the Gold Key comic books. The first issue, dated July 1967, has a photo on the cover of Kirk and Sulu swearing green shirts. Inside, the command color was green through issue #16, then it changed to tan for #17-61. 96.237.184.133 (talk) 17:06, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
