Talk:Kira Nerys

message: "Commentators on slash fanfiction cite a Kira/Sisko pairing as one most "would find incredible in the same bed." With the thesis that slash fanfic usually pairs different characters, one commentator proceeds to focus on a fanfic pairing Kira with Dukat, whose relationship prior to the fanfic is considered acrimonious."
... Uh, what on earth does that even MEAN? Incredible-unbelievable or incredible-good? A thesis that slash fanfic usually pairs different characters? Well, yes, slashing two characters together usually requires two different characters, although not always, in the star trek universe, when you can use a time warp or a clone or the Mirror Universe...
Basically, can someone who understands WTF this paragraph is trying to say please reword it? Or else remove it? AmethystPhoenix 03:42, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: A subsection in this article might be enough. By the way, I copied a quote from the actress given in the link you provide. Would you happen to know where that interview appeared so I can cite it (before someone slaps on one of those annoying fact tags)? ShutterBugTrekker 20:36, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

message: This article has very little about the character's real-world casting, influence (either on the character or character's influence/significance in/on culture), or critical response. Hence the in-universe tag. Stop removing it, folks, unless you actually alter the article content. See Padme Amidala for an example of a good (even featured) article on a fictional character. --EEMeltonIV 00:24, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't dispute you've read Padmé's article, but I doubt you've read any of the DS9 (or maybe all Star Trek characters) articles before deciding they were all in-universe. A blanket message doesn't cut it. And if you did them all on the same day without reading a single line, that shows not interest in improving Wikipedia but a timed tactic to harass those you deem "fancrufters."

replies: text: Please look at just about every Star Trek characters' edit history and you'll find many substantial contributions by me -- and you might even see that several fiction-related articles I've contributed to have been recognized as Good Articles. But before you do that, if at all, examine Wikipedia's guidelines for writing about fiction. Articles that just offer plot summary while presenting no information about the character's real-world development, casting, critical reaction, etc. are in-universe and should have the maintenance tag. I applied the tag because I'm aware of the guidelines but don't have the resources to offer up the information to bring this article up to snuff -- the maintenance tag is there to attract other editors' attention in the hopes that they do have, for example, the DS9 companion or Encyclopedia or DVD commentaries and can adapt information from them. This article is in-universe; it should be flagged as such. If it seems unfair that this article is tagged, then I'll flip through the Star Trek character navbox and see what other characters are still overloaded with plot summary with minimal significant real-world info. --EEMeltonIV 21:04, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Follow-up: It seems "equal-opportunity" in-universe tagging isn't necessary; folks who edit the Trek characters' articles more frequently than me these days seem to have reached a consensus that they are in-universe. I need to add maintenance tags to only a few -- but, thanks for the heads up. I hope these draw folks' attention so that the articles can be improved beyond simply rehashing Memory Alpha content. Good idea, Cromulent. --EEMeltonIV 21:09, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  No mention of the character being made more fluffy/girly? 

message: While the article in question well may have made the claim that Kira Nerys is not shown privately worshiping until late in the series, it is actually untrue.  In the Season 2 opener "Homecoming" she is shown worshiping privately in her own quarters when Quark arrives to show her the earring he has acquired.  Perhaps this inaccurate claim should not appear here. 16:06, 6 July 2013(UTC)
:Does Scholarly reception really merit anything, let alone a whole headed section, in a sci fi character page? Are such sections included for Odo? Sisko? Dax? Miles O'Brien? No? Then it seems over the top. WillE (talk) 20:53, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
