Talk:Gorkon

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

References please! -- Redge 17:18, 27 Jun 2004 (CEST)

Just out of curiousity... why do we need references? Is that a rule? Ottens 17:47, 27 Jun 2004 (CEST)

Yes, it's always important to reference with episodes and/or movies the information is coming from! Our articles are useless otherwise! -- Dan Carlson 17:59, 27 Jun 2004 (CEST)

I should have phrased it more clearly. Are references necessarily to be put between "( )" within the text, or can you just list them at the bottom of the article...? Ottens 18:01, 27 Jun 2004 (CEST)

I would prefer the former. That way, if someone wants to know where the depicted info came from, it's only a click away, and you don't have to visit all the botom references. Alternatively, two is a nice way to. Then you get the same bonus I already mentioned, and a complete list of relative episodes. -- Redge 19:06, 27 Jun 2004 (CEST)

May I ask why a sidebar is unnecessary?Rebelstrike2005 19:27, 24 Feb 2005 (GMT)

Does it actually say in the film that he's only been Chancellor since 2291?

I don't believe it does. I certainly can't remember any dialogue telling us when he came to power. I'll remove it. Dave 23:57, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] gorgan

is the redirect at the top really necessary? that's a bit of a stretch. you might have been looking for gorkon, gorgan, al gore, gold ore or just go look for words that start with g.

[edit] Name

• The name "Gorkon" is a blending of the last names Mikhail Gorbachev and Abraham Lincoln, two of director Nicholas Meyer's models for the character of the Klingon chancellor.

Does anyone know if there is any truth to it? — Morder 03:34, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

I doubt it, but I suppose its possible. It should certainly not be in the article until its cited.--31dot 09:49, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
