Talk:Namimby

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

I have seen the spelling of this character's name as "Nimembeh". It probably comes from the Academy instructor in Pathways that is spelled that way, but there are also transcripts of the episode "In the Flesh" online which indicate that is how it is spelled. What does Memory Alpha use to determine how these names are spelled? Are there "official" scripts available to be accessed? Or are the subtitles on the DVDs always assumed to be correct? Thanks. --Jdvelasc 17:01, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Scripts, if available, are normally used if there are no on-screen references to use (signs, computer displays, name badges, etc.) If a script isn't available, subtitles are occasionally used, but they've been frequently been proven to be incorrect (compared with official sources and/or scripts). -- Renegade54 18:10, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

What does it mean for a script to be available? Are there websites or books that make them available? I assume that most transcripts on the web are just written down by fans and so are questionable. For instance, the first transcript I found of "In the Flesh" through google was here: [[1]] and it says "Nimembeh". I don't have these DVD's so I don't know what the captions say. So where did this particular character name come from? --Jdvelasc 18:25, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
