Talk:Interstellar Law
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
[edit] VfD discussion
- Interstellar law. Content currently duplicates the Diplomacy and law page. I've placed a list of actual laws on the Diplomacy and law page; I don't see a need for a separate page for laws. -- EtaPiscium 19:15, 10 Sep 2004 (CEST)
- Keep, as "Interstellar Law" seems to be a separate document though (with quoted articles), as referenced in Star Trek VI. All other codified documents like that rate their own articles, such as each individual documents referenced by Cogley in Court-Martial. Unless there is more solid proof that this is a general term, as opposed to the specific document title i am interpreting it as being. --Captain Mike K. Bartel 19:33, 10 Sep 2004 (CEST)
- OK, if Interstellar law is actually a document then it should be added to the list of other laws in Diplomacy and law. The article does need to be rewritten to reflect the fact that it's a document and not an umbrella term for all interstellar agreements. -- EtaPiscium 00:57, 11 Sep 2004 (CEST)

Didn't Chang say something like "I place you under arrest according to (such and such section) of your Interstellar Law", indicating that it was established/imposed by the Federation? --Alan del Beccio 18:47, 31 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- In the script he says "Under article 184 of Interstellar Law, I place you both under arrest. You are charged with assassinating the Chancellor of the High Council". It might be different in the movie. Tough Little Ship 18:49, 31 Jul 2005 (UTC)
Hey, I didnt do half bad coming from memory. ;) Anyway, I wouldn't count on the movie scripts that are available online anymore than a blind man would count on me to help him cross the street. I'm fairly sure he threw in that extra "your", but I could just as easily be wrong, and if I had my other computer with my DVD play on it I would be all over this like fly on stink, but I don't, so I will bury it in the back of my mind with everything else until another time. --Alan del Beccio 18:59, 31 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Never seen The Undiscovered Country, so I'm afraid I can't help further. And you're right, you can't trust some scripts. You never know if it is the final revision or the like. Tough Little Ship 19:02, 31 Jul 2005 (UTC)
