Assessment comments The following comments were left by the assessors: (edit · refresh) Assessed to start for now. Things to do before it can go up to B: Clean up the production section. The formatting with the two different quotes in such close proximity is off putting and confusing. Neither seems to fit well with where they are placed, either. I think the first could be summarized and included in the paragraph above it where its mentioned what the series name would be. Shorten up/Tighten up the plot. Its a bit long, particularly season 4. Needs a bit of MoS work. Soundtrack, novels, et all should be in a "Media information" section near the bottom. Cast goes above plot. Cancellation after Plot, then Media Information, then Reception. The US Rating section needs to be redone as prose as part of an overall reception section with critical reviews. The see also in the cancellation section isn't necessary, and the prose needs to be tightened up so three subsections are unnecessary. Rebroadcasts and the DVD release also go in the media information section. And, of course, the biggest thing is the need for referencing :) Ref 25 also needs to be fixed to be accurate: the source isn't archive.org, that's just the archive. A couple of others also need format tweaking and making sure they have complete information. Non-RS sources, such as TrekUnited and TrekToday need to be removed all together.

Star Trek: Enterprise was a good article nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. Reviewed version: January 13, 2008

[edit] Irrelevant online chatter

I cut out a good deal of content from the 2005 section that was essentially trivial details from a few websites and minor organizations. I've never seen an article so filled with inane, irrelevant details of what happened years ago on minor web sites, we don't need the timeline from every organization that protested the cancellation. Other sections in the article suffer from this trivia bloat as well, but I tried to prune down the worst section as a start.

[edit] Looking for help writing an article about the spin-offs and crossovers of this series

I am writing an article about all of the series which are in the same shared reality as this one through spin-offs and crossovers. I could use a little help expanding the article since it is currently extremely dense and a bit jumbled with some sentence structures being extremely repetitive. I would like to be able to put this article into article space soon. Any and all help in writing the article would be appreciated, even a comment or two on the talk page would help. Please give it a read through, also please do not comment here since I do not have all of the series on my watch list. - LA @ 16:37, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Visuals in opening titles

I am certain that Wikipedia used to have a list of the images used in the opening titles of the program. What happened to it, where can I link to it, and why remove it. GBC (talk) 05:30, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Level of technology of Humans

So were humans the least technologically advanced of the species that founded the Federation? They seem to be technologically inferior to every major race that they've encountered that have survived to later series. Even the Klingons had photon torpedoes before humans even had photonic torpedoes. Is there any information available on when Humans became techological equals because all of those races seemed to be equal by the time of the Original Series.

It could be that other star-faring civilizations suffer from Not Invented Here, whereas the humans picked up from wherever they could. Pure original research though. — Val42 (talk) 20:21, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] USA biased

Although I really liked the series, the opening showed ONLY USA achievements in the space race. Not one picture about Sputnik or Laika, the first dog in space, or Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space. No Soyuz rockets. No Mir space station. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fillosaurus (talk • contribs) 20:21, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

While I hadn't noticed it before, except for the International Space Station, there are no non-USA efforts. Probably more of Hollywood's myopia. Now that you've brought it up, it is really surprising that in the initial episode, the Klingon ship crash landed in flyover country. Nevertheless, as Wikipedians, we can't bring up the subject unless we can find a reliable source that has brought it up. However, we could document the scenes shown in the introduction and let the user come to their own conclusion. — Val42 (talk) 20:21, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
