[edit] Canon
- Who's deciding what's canon, Paramount or fans? April was 1st CO Enterprise based on Gene's work (as reported in Whitfield's Making of ST); does Paramount get to obviate that? Not while I'm alive. --trekphiler, 21/11/05
[edit] Image
What is the source of the image used in the page? - CHAIRBOY (☎) 18:27, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- Very good question. It's tagged as a television screenshot, but the article mentions "For example, he is listed in the Chronology as the first captain of the Enterprise, accompanied by a photo of the creator of Star Trek Gene Roddenberry, sitting on a captain's chair wearing a Starfleet uniform, and is listed as such on the official Star Trek website." Perhaps the image is from the Chronology or website mentioned here? Bryan 06:38, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- The image is indeed of Roddenberry, and to my knowledge first appeared in the Star Trek: Chronology in connection with April. One of the Okudas' many "in-jokes" in that book. --TimPendragon 02:44, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dead link?

I'm uncomfortable with using the image of Roddenberry for this article. First, it was put into the Chronology as an in-joke, and the fact is Roddenberry never played April and I don't even think he ever posed for a photo in a Starfleet uniform either (I believe the image was photoshopped). This therefore makes the image misleading. The image that should be used for this article is a screen capture from the episode as that's the character's only, to date, screen appearance. 23skidoo (talk) 20:09, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- Is it canon? The only other picture would be a screen grab from The Animated Series Alastairward (talk) 19:20, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
