[edit] Pedantry rides again
From the introduction:
"The Star Trek character Zefram Cochrane, who was the first to fly at warp speed, supposedly originated the phrase in a speech which described what humans could do with this new warp technology. He utters the phrase in the first episode of the Trek prequel series Star Trek: Enterprise."
(Emphasis added.)
Would it not be better to say, "who was the first human to fly at warp speed"? --Chris 21:03, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The "Fiction" tag
The tag is currently there because the section "doesn't give the real history within the show". What does that mean, exactly? -- Ritchy 03:16, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- I see the problem as being that the description of the backstory does not adequately describe what is fiction. A wikipedia article should be written entirely from a factual perspective. I have tried cleaning it up to avoid the in-universe persepective.
- Apparently the title "outside the series" was supposed to suggest "outside the in-universe perspective." Since a Wikipedia article should always be factual, I changed this to just ""History." I am still not thrilled with that title, but I think it best represents what a Wikipedia reader should expect -- history is the factual history and nothing else.

[edit] rest of quote
Would the origin of the rest of the opening narration be on-topic for this page? There are a number of memos regarding its creation flying around in August 1966 (some of the interim versions were, um, interesting). Was amused to see : "Space: Endless. Silent. Waiting", one of the proposals, pops up in Starship Exeter's narraton. Morwen - Talk 08:02, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- Sure. I mean, we already discuss the in-universe history of the complete narration. Its real-world history would be a great addition! Provided of course it has references ;) -- Ritchy 15:40, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
