[edit] General Quarters

The similarity to today's "general quarters" is mentioned twice.

[edit] Shields and weapons

Does anyone know the source for the claim being made in this article that going to Red Alert status will automatically raise the shields and ready the weapons? In most episodes where Red Alert is called for, a separate orders are being given to raise the shields and ready the weapons. In my opinion, this would imply that these actions are not inherent of the Red Alert status. Any sources anyone? TheQz 13:41, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Star Trek Immunity Syndrome.jpg

Image:Star Trek Immunity Syndrome.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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
