[edit] James T. Kirk

Howdy all. My pace of updating this article has slowed as come closer to the end of things I can feasibly add. I didn't set out to break the article size record, but I guess it's not too inappropriate considering the prominence of the character. As I wrap things up, I'd appreciate feedback on the following:

• Pictures - Are there too many, too few? I've done a lot of color/contrast correction to make them "pop" off the page, but some (especially movie caps) are low quality. If anyone can replace them, send me the fattest files you can capture, and I'll trim them down.

• Friendships - There are a few gaping holes in relationships with his junior officers. Frankly, there's just very little to go on beside "He promoted Chekov" or "He kissed Uhura". Should those listings be dropped or left as is?

• Quotes - Too many, not enough? A good one I missed? Should some of those quotes I included in the body of the article be duplicated in the end?

• Off the Deep End - Under "Intellect and Personality", I tried to discuss the nature of Kirk's personality. I think all the underlying facts are clearly evident in canon, but stringing them together to form a conclusion was perhaps pushing it. Did I pull it off, while staying within the rules?

• The Five-Year Mission - Again, too much or not enough? Perhaps it could form the basis for a separate Five-Year Mission (2265-2270) article, and trimmed down to mention the encounters that greatly impacted Kirk or his career in this article.

• Nit picking - I'm sure there are a lot of minor fixes needed, but my eyes are way to familiar with this article, and it's hard for me to catch what needs attention. Please keep an eye out for spelling, format, and misc. errors.

Thanks very much. --Aurelius Kirk 12:46, 17 Jan 2006 (UTC)
