Talk:Porthos (Star Trek)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I vaguely remember an episode in which Porthos offended some alien dudes by pissing on their sacred tree. Archer refused to apologize up until the end, when he performed an elaborate dance of apology as required by the aliens' tradition. 141.217.41.206 13:56, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)

It was mentioned that Archer got Porthos from a girlfriend, one of four; the others from the litter were named after the other three musketeers. Maybe in "A Night in Sickbay"? --Christopherlin 02:54, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

How about the fact that it was just a puppy at the first season, but growing as the series develops, mirroring the growth of the Enterprise and its crew. I think it's significant, but not sure how to phrase it into the article. --Menchi 17:31, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Porthos-frengi.jpg

Image:Porthos-frengi.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Affiliation: Starfleet ?

In the info box, it says Porthos' affiliation is Starfleet. Do you think this is really all that accurate? I think he would be just as happy living on a Klingon ship, but that wouln't mean he was affiliated with the Klingon Empire. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.19.83.113 (talk) 20:56, August 23, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is it absolutely necessary to call Porthos 'a fictional dog'?

I mean, it's highly unlikely anyone will ever be captain of a starship, but I'm moderately certain a dog will always be a dog... HalfShadow 16:03, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge discussion

As the AfD seems to be leaning toward Merge, let's start a discussion about the particulars of a possible merge. What information should we keep and put in Archer's article? What information should we cut? Ursasapien (talk) 07:28, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I believe it would work in Captain Archer's biography section, something like this. Ursasapien (talk) 09:25, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
