Seems to be lacking a lot of Voyager information. Signed, Tyrant
[edit] Misc
In the apocrypha section it is stated that VOyager's Maquis personnel rejoined Starfleet to fight the Dominion. Voyager return to the Alpha Quadrant in 2378, three years after the war ended. How then could they fight the Dominion?--<unsigned>

[edit] Featured status
[edit] Nomination
Self-nomination. A long article about the entire history of the Maquis movement. Much longer than the short Encyclopedia blurb about the group! ;-) -- Dan Carlson 22:17, 24 May 2004 (CEST)
- Archived as "successful nominations" by User:MinutiaeMan on 12:50, May 27, 2004. --Alan del Beccio 22:40, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Remove featured status?
Should we remove featured status from this article until the citation issues are cleared up? It kinda looks bad to have a big fat PNA in the middle of a featured article... - Renegade54 22:05, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- agreed--Alan 03:52, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Long Quote
Is the long quote at the beginning of this article really necessary? --OuroborosCobra 07:36, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- What long quote? --Mac Lover
Well, the comment I made is 2 months old. Obviously, in that time, the quote has been removed. --OuroborosCobra talk 15:46, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, sorry. I don't read the date.--Mac Lover 17:59, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Is This Correct?
From the article: "Ignoring the treaty's restrictions, they launched a massive invasion of the Demilitarized Zone, rapidly and efficiently wiping out every Maquis colony. The Maquis attempted to put up a valiant fight, but the small raiders and fighters they possessed were hardly a match for the fearsome Jem'Hadar attack ships. (DS9: "By Inferno's Light") " I don't believe this happened in "By Inferno's Light", (Maybe I saw an edited version?). Yes, I saw Dukat make the threat, but when was it established that the colonies were wiped out? Should this be amended? 86.41.199.181 15:16, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
- The fact that the Maquis were wiped out is mentioned in "Blaze of Glory", "Hunters" and "Extreme Risk". --Jörg 16:04, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Origin
The Maquis is named for a REAL resistance group in France during World War II. 65.163.112.56 03:45, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
- We know, in fact the opening paragraph of the article says just that. --OuroborosCobra talk 03:46, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
- We know that they share a common name, but we don't know that as a fact, otherwise it would be cited somehow. --Alan 03:52, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removed Text
I removed the following as speculation and opinion...try as I might, I can't think of any supporting source:
- Only months after the utter destruction of the Maquis, the Federation was plunged into the Dominion War. The Maquis insurrection was to be remembered as one of the primary causes leading to the war, albeit in an indirect way. The Maquis cause, though temporarily successful, had made the Cardassians so desperate that they were willing to sacrifice their independence for the security offered by the Dominion.
- The Maquis cause remains controversial even after its demise; opinions differ on whether the Maquis could ultimately have succeeded in repelling the Cardassians from the Demilitarized Zone and establishing their own independent state. Although they had the Cardassians on the run in early 2373 and victory appeared within reach, many argue that it is unlikely that the Maquis would have succeeded even had the Dominion not annexed Cardassia. Thus, in the aftermath of the Maquis' destruction, many Starfleet officers viewed the movement as a grand, and perhaps noble, lost cause.

- I agree with the removal, unless a valid source can be found. A pity though; it's well-written and I think the first paragraph is thematically correct. – Cleanse 09:04, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
- In the real world, the Maquis were a French resistance group during World War II.
- Unnecessary real world comparison. Though, obvious it may be, perhaps a wikipedia external link might be better. Though I still see no need. — Morder (talk) 06:05, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
- That Trek's Maquis were named after the real resistance group can be cited to several sources, including the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion. It's thus a valid note.– Cleanse 11:57, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
- It is valid to note what they were named after, but it should probably say "The Maquis were named for the WWII French Resistance group of the same name", removing the "In the real world" part.--31dot 12:12, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
- Well that's a horse of a different color since we have a citation. — Morder (talk) 20:14, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
