[edit] Merge from T'plana-hath

Two years ago this article survived AfD, but mostly on the recommendation that it be expanded. It hasn't been, because there's nothing else to say on the subject.

Article content relates purely to Trek, and is only linked from two real pages (this one and Vulcan starships). It's a simple split. Chris Cunningham 11:12, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Technology level

There should be some section that emphasizes the technological level of the Vulcans at near the beginning of the Federation. Even one-hundred years after first contact, the Vulcans still seemed to be vastly superior to humans. Is/was there any source that indicated maybe when the Vulcans started sharing technology with humans? Or maybe when Humans and Vulcans became equals technologically? Obviously, by the time of the original Star Trek series, the Federation was still relatively young, but all of it founding members were equals technologically. I think some elaboration on these points would add significantly to the article, but I lack any of the required knowledge to create a proper section. Rajrajmarley 21:16, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vulcans (Star Trek)

I've been an avid Star Trek fan for going on six years now and this is the first time I've heard it mentioned that Spock's Favorite drink was carrot juice.

I would be willing to accept this as canon as I've yet to see 'every' TOS episode.(That really stinks by the way) But the sentence that immediately follows it is this:

"Leading scientists say that there is a 18% chance that Spock was gay."

Though I personally would love for this to be true, I don't think it is... Can anyone give cite/credit to this statement, or offer proof that this is true?

If you can I will be eternally grateful, and so will the thousands of slash fans. And If not could you please fix it or I'll fix it if it's not true because I nearly had an aneurism of happiness for the 2.3 seconds I thought it was true.

Thank you. --Herbsandlemons 12:55, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

It's obviously vandalism. Chris Cunningham 14:20, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

What do you mean vandalism? Like someone edited the page just to be mean and/or mess with the fans?--Herbsandlemons 14:58, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes. Sadly all-too-common on Wikipedia. Chris Cunningham 15:13, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spock

I do not mean to mock Spock, but I think we should replace the image with a pure Vulcan. I know that his characteristics are representitive of the vulcan race, but he's half human. Maybe Tuvok would be better. Supernerd 10 12:25, 15 March 2007 (UTC) Never mind I've replaced it with T'pol.
