Not so violent

What strikes me is that in every article on the internet about species 8472 (including Wikipedia) they are described as extremely violent. However Valerie Archer mentions that among the traits of humans that she regards as primitive is their violence. This got me to the conclusion that species 8472 views violence as primitive behaviour and might not be as violent as we think they are.

Fair use rationale for Image:ST-VOY In The Flesh.jpg

Image:ST-VOY In The Flesh.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 09:30, 6 June 2007 (UTC) Done[reply]

Trivia

I tried to merge some of the trivia at the bottom into the main article. Problems is I don't like the way the flow of the whole thing goes. It's like jumping in and out of character. any suggestions anyone? ... Ched Davis (talk) 23:46, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

After a break, I came back and re-did the trivia section, and renamed it as Production notes. Also took my first shot at adding references inline as opposed to just external links at end of page. As a Trek fan, I'd be happy to see anyone else add to this article. Ched Davis (talk) 02:50, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

blanking section

Well, blanking an entire section wasn't my idea of "improving" an article. I know that "Reception" is considered to be an acceptable part of any TV or Movie article. I realize that it needed improvement, but delete=improve? ... Ched (talk) 17:26, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

With the amount of tags and resources at Wikipedia's disposal, deletion is something that should only be used sparingly. By keeping and flagging questionable content, we are encouraging other editors — and potentially even casual readers — to make constructive edits. If there is no section at all, then the chances of an increase in quality go down significantly, since there's no foundation on which to build. — Deckill er 18:16, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's all I can do for now, r/l calls. I know some of the ref. may not pass muster, but it's the best I could do on short notice, and given my current wiki-skill set. I'll revisit as resources are found, and my skills improve. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ched Davis (talk • contribs) 21:42, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

moved from article.

I removed this bit of copy from a section as it has gone untouched or improved for some time. If the original editor (o0r anyone else) wishes to revert the edit, (I'm fine with that), I'd only ask that they would try to improve the copy a little so it's not tagged quite as much.
The following section from original posting will need improvement, and references to remain in tact:
Many objected to this episode's portrayal of Species 8472 as reasonable and misunderstood.^[who?] Previous episodes had established Species 8472 as a highly hostile and aggressive race who lived by the credo "The Weak Shall Perish."^{[citation needed]} Other fans saw this as a natural development as humans got to know and understand Species 8472.^{[citation needed]} The episode depicted the fact that while we (the humans and starfleet members) viewed Species 8472 as violent, their race actually viewed the crew of Voyager as the violent privative race. Through communication the two factions were able to come to a better understanding of the others viewpoints and perceptions. TV.com showed that fans rated this episode as an 8.7 (great) in their research.
