[edit] Cvan65rxeng1970, RxEng, and Crew Members

An attempt to list members of the USS enterprise's crews. If nothing else they will need to be moved to normal titles. humblefool® 21:26, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

I have nearly 500 former USS Enterprise members to be added to the roles.
This page is only an hour old!
This page is also going to be linked to the Uss Enterprise page ...
I could use some help/advise in doing so if you have that expertise to offer.
Have you anything constructive to offer?-ts- 21:34, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

• Delete - Wikipedia is not a directory - Thatdog 21:41, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, above reason by Thatdog. Note: RxEng and Crew Members articles seem to be similar in nature. —Tokek 22:56, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Just saw those too. Adding to this VfD. humblefool® 23:08, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

BEFORE we dash out there and delete this page we should resolve the issue that got it placed here in the first place; otherwise, we are going to create bad feelings here. Admittedly, listing every member of the crew of the enterprise may be a little outlandish, but listing members who serve aboard in the form of companies or battlions or something of that nature could have encyclopedic value. Additionally, if he wishes to list them by department that should be permisable, after all we do allow lists of military units and there members. By allowing military pages to list members but not navy pages aren't we setting a double standard?TomStar81 23:27, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

I have nearly 500 former members of the Reactor and Engineering Dept who are interested in the already existing USS Enterprise (CVN-65) Wikipedia page. All we are interested in doing is adding some more information ... ie ... those of us *people* who actually made it possible for this ship to operate. I have people from the 60's up to the present who have served in this capacity and who have a great deal of information to share, including many pictures and first-hand accounts of the fire in 1969 that took the lives of many of our shipmates.
All we are attempting to do here is put a human face on this. I thought how wonderful if we could do this as an example of what could be done with all of the other ships you currently have featured in the pages of Wikipedia. We only wish to compliment all of the information you already have.
Ex-servicemen are always interested in locating one another ... and what better place to do so than here on these wonderful pages that have already been established here on Wikipedia?

Sorry lads ... but these ships wouldn't have done a thing without the crews who manned them.
I just think you are missing out on an opportunity to actually tap into information that only we who actually worked and sailed abord these vessels have to offer.
But if we aren't welcome here ... that's fine.
We will do it elsewhere.

• PLEASE do not go!! Each and every one of you have the unique ability to added to Enterprise and other pages here because you have actually served aboard her. The wealth of knowlage you represent to wikipedia is unmeasuable, I know this from experience beacause it was User:Bschorr who contributed about 9/10ths of the content currently visable on the Iowa class battleship page and on the USS Missouri (BB-63) page. Even if the only warm welcome you recieve here is from me then.. for my sake.. please don't go. TomStar81 23:57, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Well Tom ... I don't think i have much to say about it.

If it's a question of how to link the pages ... or of catagories ... fine ... that is why I wrote to you asking for some assistance in doing it the Wikipedia Way. ;)

All I want to do is use the existing USS Enterprise (CVN-65) page to link to The Crew. And then into subcatagories such as the Rx and Engineering Dept ... where I hope to convince nearly 500 former Reactor and steam plant operators to get interested in how Wiki's work so they can contribute!

I was hoping to come up with a Template of sorts ... that other crews could use with many of the other ships here. I'd like to put a bit of a human face on the pages ... rather than just facts and figures, dates and stats.

Ah well ... I'm afraid I have wasted a lot of time today ... and had only begun to list the people I know who are already in touch with me. It's been quite something to have found many shipmates from more then 30 years ago ... and it was the Enterprise that brought us back together.

But I guess that unless one was actually part of such a crew ... it doens't hold much importance.

So it goes.

I've notified many of them of the *welcome* we have received here ...

so we may be getting up steam getting underway to defend ourselves once more.

manning the rails to repel borders. ;) lol

Thanks for the support ...

we will see. -ts- 00:25, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

Delete for obvious reasons - a couple other decades have been speedy-deleted. Note that -ts- on his/her talk page says he/she has given up. - DavidWBrooks 02:34, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

yes. sorry to have bothered you all. -ts- 03:15, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
