Talk:United Federation of Planets/peerreview
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
I consider this article a prime candidate for Feature Article status once done to satisfaction. If you have meaningful contributions to make to it to that end, please do so. Many thanks.– Watching... listening... 02:45, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm re-opening this peer review as a way of listing areas in which the article can be expanded and improved. For this article's FA nomination history, see the Talk page. These discussions have identified the following areas. Feel free to help to implement them and add your own ideas. And when they're done we can cross them from the list. This could be a great article if we all pitch in.– Cleanse 08:02, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Perspectives of other governments on the Federation
Alan gave the following references:
- Weyoun's comment that attacking Earth is the way to defeat the Federation
- Weyoun - "The Dominion has endured for over two thousand years, and will continue to endure, until long after the Federation has crumbled into dust." DS9: "To the Death"
- Ru'afo - "Federation support, Federation procedures, Federation rules... look in the mirror, admiral... the Federation is old... in the last twenty four months, it's been challenged by every major power in the quadrant – the Borg, the Cardassians, the Dominion... they all smell the scent of death on the Federation. That's why you've embraced our offer... because it will give your dear Federation new life." (Star Trek: Insurrection)
I also think the following could be mentioned:
- Garak's and Quark's conversation about root beer and the Federation - DS9: "The Way of the Warrior"
- Eddington's comment about the Federation, Maquis, and comparing it to the Borg - DS9: "For the Cause"
- Anti-alien and anti-Federation sentiment on Bajor - early DS9 episodes

- I added all of these, except the last reference, and then some. --Alan 22:32, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Relationship between Starfleet and the Federation
Suggested by FleetCaptain. So for example, the events of DS9: "Homefront", the Khitomer Conspiracy.– Cleanse 08:02, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Background - development of the Federation in Star Trek
Suggested by FleetCaptain. So where it was first mentioned on TOS, and how it developed over the other series. There's quite a lot on DS9's handling of the Federation in the DS9 background info discussions contributed by Bertaut (sourced from the DS9 Companion)– Cleanse 08:02, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Background - comparison of the Federation to real-world governments
Suggested by FleetCaptain. There's a little in the article already. I wouldn't go overboard with this though.– Cleanse 08:02, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
