I did the review on Harry Kim, so I might as well do Chakotay's. -- Zanimum (talk) 22:15, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

First off, Wow, Robert Beltran has aged.

Infobox

  • Was Chakotay provisional the entire series?
  • Why no "last appearance"? I presume this is only supposed to count in-universe, and it's fairly clear at this point there won't be a Voyager feature film.

Concept and development

Fascinating development process. Also, interesting find about Braga's focus on some characters rather than others, I don't think the person who wrote on Harry Kim had found that.
  • I did the Harry Kim article too - admittedly I have a new source (or rather, I realised that there was some casting information in the middle of a source I had at the time (because the natural place to put the casting info and startup info is around page 175 and not at the start of a book without an index!). But yeah, the Harry Kim idea wasn't very interesting at all compared to the others. The Doctor's one is really cool as it was directly linked to them wanting to recreate the Holographic Moriarty from TNG. Miyagawa (talk) 21:15, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "appearing in Models Inc." is ambiguous. Is he a judge on a reality show, a regular on a comedy, a recurring role in a drama? The program is obscure, so it would be good to help establish Beltran's pre-Trek credentials.
  • Hamlet's producers wanted him to have the tattoo makeup on? The sentence isn't perfectly clear.
  • quotations around Endgame

Appearances

  • Is John Kelly a historical figure to young Chakotay? The term astronaut is throwing me off.
  • I've changed it further, to emphasis that it was centuries ago that Lt Kelly was alive, well before Voyager's era. The switchero you did could still imply that he was contemporary to Chakotay and the rest of the Voyager crew.
  • How is it that a TNG episode references Ro Laren as a student specifically of Chakotay? Even if the ST official site says he trained her, the episode wouldn't.
  • The episode had Ro Laren mention that a native american teacher of hers at the academy resigned to join the Maquis. Related DYK point - turns all the Maquis episodes in TNG and DS9 were designed simply to introduce the Maquis characters in Voyager. Miyagawa (talk) 21:15, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • They planned that far ahead? Wow. While he wasn't mentioned by name, if Star Trek's official site has woven this together, I'm comfortable with the actual TNG episode as backup. -- Zanimum (talk) 01:24, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the background section, is it possible to sum up in a sentence what the Maquis were about again? The first season is a blur in my mind. Were they a rebel force, just space hippies, what?
  • Who is demoted to make Chakotay second in command?
  • Cool, thanks. (Rusty memory.)
  • Cathexis should be in quotes, shouldn't it?
  • Chris857, apparently. Interesting how dynamic Wikipedia is!
  • no need for "actually"
  • Thanks.
  • The sentence about Gegen sounds like he's trying to prove Chakotay came from the same home world as humans, but I presume it's to prove Voth came from the same world? Also, wouldn't Gegen be trying to prove Voth came from Earth? Might as well name drop our planet, lest people think ST says humans were transported here from elsewhere. Chakotay giving the model of Earth does sort of imply which home world, but I dunno.
  • Thanks.

Janeway is assimilated in a TNG novel? What a welcome home. Ah, good old non-canonical books. :)

I know - not even a generic Star Trek novel but a TNG one. The Q later resurrected her though. Mind you I still would like something canon to come along and blow the silly Borg/Caelar Gestault stuff out of the water. Miyagawa (talk) 21:15, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hehe.

Reception

  • Is Borofsky notable enough that someone could feasibly write on him?
  • Thanks.
  • "for his Captain but she" --> "for his Captain, but she"

The category "Fictional anthropologists"... is that addressed in the article? He doesn't approach his culture like an anthropologist.

Agreed with the talk page that the whole Amal Kotay debate isn't something that can be resolved on Wikipedia.

Still remaining for me to review are the lead, pictures. -- Zanimum (talk) 18:48, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures, lead good. Other than a brief explanation of what the Maquis are, it's ready for GA approval. -- Zanimum (talk) 01:24, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Great. I'll get that sorted tonight. I';; add a brief bit about the foreshadowing of the Maquis in TNG/DS9 too as it's directly stated as such in the source. Miyagawa (talk) 12:58, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Added a background paragraph about the Maquis. Miyagawa (talk) 13:42, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Very good, well worth the wait! GA! -- Zanimum (talk) 13:35, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
