[edit] From Memory Alpha:Nominations for featured articles

  • "Call to Arms" - I know I wrote but I think its a good page with excellent pictures-Rebelstrike2005 20:56, 14 Feb 2005 (GMT)
    • An extended write-up of the episode, with good use made of existing images. I see no reason why this one shouldn't be featured. Ottens 18:15, 16 Feb 2005 (GMT)
      • Supported. I agree-Excelsior 11:07, 17 Feb 2005 (GMT)

Can I add Call to Arms to the featured articles now?Rebelstrike2005 20:45, 23 Feb 2005 (GMT)

[edit] Footage Reuse

Much of the damage and battle footage was re-used from "The Way of the Warrior", with different ships.

  • I would say that it was just similar, not an actual reuse of any footage. --Tough Little Ship 22:10, 31 Jul 2005 (UTC)
  • Yea, the footage is not reused. How could they with the diffrent ships and weapons. On the other hand episodes like what you leave behind, reused a lot from sacrafice of angels.
  • There was reused footage in this episode in a handful of specific segments, notably footage from "Caretaker"", "The Search, Part I", and the shots of the weapons being deployed, as well as some of the weapons fire were reused from "WotW", and yes, many of the Klingon meshes were replaced with Cardassian/Dominion meshes, in those shots. --Alan del Beccio 02:52, 28 Aug 2005 (UTC)
    • Caretaker and the Search? How could they have taken the footage from those episodes? Tobyk777 16:02, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)
      • They could have taken footage from "the Search Part I" when the three Jem'Hadar ships opened fire on the Defiant. After watching the episode again today, it looked just like it to me.--Scimitar 22:41, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
      • Would the footage from "Caretaker" be the Galor-class getting hit? Tough Little Ship 16:12, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Article nominated for removal

From Memory Alpha:Featured article removal candidates

I'm nominating this for removal because of the lack of length in the summary. Parts of it read like short sentences covering the main points only, rathering than telling a story. I know that length does not necessarily make or break featured status but much more can be written for this episode, especially as it was one of the pivotal moments in the Dominion War. The references are far from complete as well. If the summary is expanded considerably, I'd certainly consider withdrawing this nomination.--Scimitar 22:49, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep as FA This article seems fully complete to me. It doesn't need to have so much detail that it descibes each step Sisko makes as he walks up the steps to hsis office. This article is perfect as it is. Tobyk777 23:01, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
    • I appreciate your opposition, Toby, but you didn't need to mock me. I'm not expecting detail as far was mass spectroscopy but I really think that more should be added to this article. On the subject of completeness, you have nominated and supported a substantial number of incomplete articles.--Scimitar 23:35, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
      • Keep as FA. We already have the story in the Second Battle of Deep Space 9, and that is where the story belongs. IMO these two articles complement each other extemely well (one tells the story including context, the other details the events). We don't need to add the story into the summary, just a link. If we did add in the story: at best, we'll only end up with redundancies, and at worst, we could end up ruining two well-written articles. --Oshah 14:41, 8 Sep 2005 (UTC)
  • Oshah made a good point, keep --Memory 18:13, 8 Sep 2005 (UTC)
  • Indeed it is a good point. I withdraw my nomination.--Scimitar 22:03, 8 Sep 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dominion War Arc

The six episodes that follow this one all say under Background Information that "This episode is the (nth) in the six-part "Dominion War Arc." Why isn't this episode, Call to Arms, considered the beginning of that seven-part arc? —Shawn81 21:51, 16 Sep 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rom's Speech

  • I think it should be noted that Rom's speach to Leeta is a paraphrased quote of Humphry Bogart's speech to Ingra Bergman at the end of Casablanca. --HankTol 08:26, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quark's guest at the wedding

Can anybody provide any information about the lady friend that Quark brings to Rom and Leeta's wedding? The script does not name the character but states that she is a Dabo girl. Any info on the actress (or character) would be much appreciated, thanks! -- Taduolus 13:12, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

I see we now have her listed here as an unnamed dabo girl, played by an unknown actress. Can anybody provide any more info on the actress or character? -- Taduolus 18:11, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

I've added her to the Dabo girls list. I remember she was in several episodes of Deep Space Nine, always as a background actress. I don't know her name, but will search for her. – Tom 21:59, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Brilliant, thanks :) I think she might also appear in DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels"... when our heroes retake the station and everyone is arriving back on the Promenade, Quark greets O'Brien and Bashir and has two Dabo girls with him; one is definitely M'Pella, and I think the other might be our "Dabo Girl 2". -- Taduolus 22:51, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

I'll search more episodes and add other appearances to her article. – Tom 09:40, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I think I've just spotted her in "Ties of Blood and Water" - she's at the Dabo table with Weyoun and Dukat just before Sisko confronts Dukat about the poisoned Kanar. I'm pretty sure it's her. -- Taduolus 21:43, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

You're right. I've added both episodes to her article. Good eyes! ;o] – Tom 23:03, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rom's idea

Does anyone else think when Rom uses the phrase "premature detonation", that it's a bit of a pun - as in 'premature ejeculation'. It just seems like such a strange phrase to throw into the conversation. Or maybe that just how my mind works! – Bertaut 23:15, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I think it's just you.--31dot 23:18, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
