[edit] Biography assessment rating comment
WikiProject Biography Assessment
The article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. -- Yamara 06:31, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Discussion
"all four"? What about the animated series and Enterprise?
note I added some stuff about her affair with Rodenberry all documented in this book :
[edit] Image
OK, the image used for this page has been deleted. Can someone please upload a new one (don't forget the image use tag... Jimbo must have gotten some legal papers filed his way for him to put out an edict like that.) 23skidoo 04:27, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] actor or actress
The correctness of the word actress is hotly contested. The article uses both I think we should stick to one Sumergocognito 07:42, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- I wouldn't say hotly, but there is some debate whether to use actor for both sexes. I know the Canadian Press Style Guide, followed by journalists here in Canada, says to use actor for both. To my knowledge there's no Wikirule one way or the other. I agree that regardless which is chosen, it needs to be used consistently throughout the article. 23skidoo 16:07, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- It's not an issue I'm prepared to fight either way, though if there's still seperate Ocars for male and female performers I think actress is okay. Sumergocognito 19:36, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Other Trek work
I seem to vaguely recall that Barrett also read at least one Star Trek audio book from Simon & Schuster in the 80s or 90s. Can anyone confirm? 23skidoo 18:29, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pronunciation
What is the correct pronunciation of her name? LorenzoB 04:26, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Name Usage
In the credits for Andromeda, she is listed as Majel Roddenberry. SHould this be listed as an alias or listed in parentheses as the way she sometimes uses her name? Any information as to when she started going by/goes by Roddenberry instead of Barrett? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Paul R. Potts (talk • contribs) 17:37, 2 April 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Felinoid/Ailuroid?
"...the communications officer M'Ress, the felinoid (more properly ailuroid) Caitian who served alongside Uhura." Why the parenthetical? Shouldn't we just reference one adjective meaning "catlike" here? Is there a canon ST source that references M'Ress as felinoid, and somebody just stuck in the ailuroid because we know better here at Wikipedia? :p Or did one editor write felinoid, and another added the parenthetical instead of editing it boldly? What's the story here? I'll hold off editing this for a day or so in case there is a reasonable explanation, and then I'm gonna fix it. Applejuicefool (talk) 17:33, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Number of appearances
Michael Dorn and Colm Meaney seem to be the actors who appeared in Star Trek more than anyone else. But does anyone know the number of appearances by Majel Barrett? (Including by voice only - suchas for the computer voice. CaptKpsja (talk) 14:54, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
- From the IDb site I make it 233. Star Trek - 28; TNG - 98; DS9 - 25; Voy - 70 and Ent - 2 and 5 movies. This is more than Colm Meaney, but less than Michael Dorn. (Although - many were voice only). CaptKpsja (talk) 16:19, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
- IMDB only lists credited appearances, FYI. And cfrerdited appearances are likely ones for which she was called. For example, in an episode where all that's scripted are lines that she's read before, as the computer's voice, the production team doesn't have to call her in order to complete the episode. So ~100 episodes of Voyager, where the computer just pipes up with "Acknowledged" or something are probably not included at IMDB. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.200.151.222 (talk) 10:54, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
