Talk:Number One (Star Trek)

message: I was going to fix the mismatched number in this phrase in the current article text, but I realized I don't know the intended statement. "Women" doesn't sound right; the original Star Trek apparently intended from the start to capitalize on the cheese factor by putting the Enterprise crewwomen in miniskirts, and I don't recall hearing the network objecting to that. "A woman" also seems misleading, as there were two prominent women in "The Cage" — Number One and Yeoman Colt. I suspect that the real objection was a strong woman character like Number One, but I didn't feel confident of my memory on this issue to make an appropriate change. Could someone correct this statement, or at the very least, fix the grammar? Thanks. — Jeff Q (talk) 03:18, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: "prominence of a women"

message: Is there a cite of any sort for the rejection by the network of a female no. one officer?  Barrett was rejected as an actress because of her relationship with Roddenbery, is there a quote stating the choice of a female no. one was rejected for any particular reason.

replies: text: There are numerous citations for Roddenberry's point of view, although our article on Majel Barrett does suggest (with citation) that the relationship may have been a factor as well. I don't think there's any real doubt that network executives played it conservatively with audience reaction constantly in mind. The situation would not substantially change until the 1970s. --Dhartung | Talk 02:36, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

That is Barrets name, not the name of the character. She used alternate names, there's a whole bunch of them in her IMDB page.

thread_title: Too many non-referenced, conjectural statements

message: Multiple edits were removed by the above (Dogru144), including crosslinks to other Wikipedia articles; First Lieutenant, Number One (Royal Navy), and Executive Officer - presumably because these also did not have the references requested. 
On the other hand, insisting on the rank structure having references is a little unusual;  the 1911 Encyclopedia Brittanica, for example, provides (in the article "Lieutenant") no such pointer. Such works as UK Ministry of Defence rank tables are commonly availableComparative Air/Land/Sea ranks
Historical naval ranks, but rarely referred to by encyclopedias.
The entry has accordingly been restored, for now, despite the lack of references, since it removes the confusion between "number one", "first lieutenant" and "executive officer". It also allows for a framework for such references to be added. One reference has been supplied at the top of the page, to Memory Alpha, but this also is a secondary reference.
