message: :Image:LCARS Example.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: The article incorrectly states that LCARS is an operating system, when it is in fact a GUI. Guillep2k (talk) 14:05, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Umm as far as I know, it's an OS & a GUI, the OS deals with the hardware around it. It's not like the use one of the pathetic OS we use today. :P -- DQ (t) (e) 22:59, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  LCARS Retrieval System. That being the OS. However, usage of the term 'LCARS Interface' suggests it's acceptable to use it as a proper noun when describing the GUI elements of LCARS. I would assume, that due to its popularity and solid design themes, one could use it as either. ZellDenver (talk) 13:20, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Is anyone able to add approximate dates to the article for when LCARS and PADDs were introduced into the Star Trek world, please? New Thought (talk) 08:53, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dates 

message: The lead reads like this:
"In the Star Trek fictional universe, LCARS ( /ˈɛlkɑrz/; an acronym for Library Computer Access/Retrieval System) is a fictional computer operating system"
Now I'm pretty sure that's incorrect because if it's a fictional computer in a fictional universe, doesn't that mean that's in fictional in the story? That is to say that in fact it's not a fictional computer in the fictional universe: it's real in the fictional universe. Caledones talk softly, please 22:37, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

message: I've seen it mentioned on the Internet that Roddenberry's contract allows use of the name to those who apply it to functioning tech. Does anyone have any reputable sources for this information? (ie. a copy of his contract, court transcripts that mention this as fact, etc, etc, etc.) 76.102.199.90 (talk) 10:32, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Hey, all -- I'm working in userspace on a broader article on Computers in Star Trek; it's at User:EEMIV/Computers_in_Star_Trek. It still needs some work, but I can imagine a good portion of the content here being merged into a broader article. If you've watchlisted this page and see this message, chances are you may have some ideas and sources appropriate for the article I'm working on; if that's the case, please feel free to contribute in my userspace in the article itself and/or just the talk page. --EEMIV (talk) 05:08, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Might this photo be an interesting addition to the article, given the background illustrations? It is included in the German LCARS article.

replies: text: Ha! I think labeling it as LCARS and including in the article, though, is WP:OR in the absence of e.g. someone from that studio design team saying, "Yeah, we tried to imitate that Star Trek style." --EEMIV (talk) 23:49, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
