The Last Voyage of the Starship Enterprise

The Last Voyage of the Starship Enterprise survived both a proposed deletion tag, and an articles for deletion discussion.

It was reviewed by Maile66 and successfully promoted to good article quality, and subsequently Twofingered Typist helpfully provided a copy edit from the Guild of Copy Editors.

I bring it here to help further along the quality improvement process.

Comments from Fourthords

I don't know if I'm doing this right, but here's my input. I think it's great! It's well-written, and has a great ratio of plot to reliably-sourced third-party information. As a huge Trekkie, I enjoyed learning about this pop culture perception of the show. It has a wonderful diversity of references, something I'm always impressed with! It's an excellent article; I daresay one of our best.

I only have a question about the image of Mr. Belushi leading the article in the infobox: does it meet WP:NFCC#8? I didn't read anything in the article that needed that image to better understand it. The IDP cites The Current Cinema as saying that the portrayal is iconic, but that doesn't equal, to me, saying that Mr. Belushi's specific appearance was iconic. It's something I would consider if I were writing the article.

Oh, that and I don't think the 'upright' sizing specifications are necessary. Especially when the Belushi/Michaels images are being displayed at what appears to be a standard thumbnail size. — fourthords | =Λ= | 16:37, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks very much for your comments, Fourthords, I'll have a look at tweaking the article with these in mind. — Cirt (talk) 00:53, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Done. I've modified the images to remove the "upright" sizing, as recommended, above. As for the infobox image of Belushi parodying Shatner as Kirk -- the article presents sourced info saying Belushi modeled his very appearance after Kirk, for example the sideburns -- and this can be seen comparing the two images. Thank you for your participation in the peer review ! Most appreciated, — Cirt (talk) 19:23, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

NOT an error.

"The sketch had one minor error. While breaking down the set, Herb Goodman (Gould) suggested, "How about it, Curtis? You think we can sell any of this junk to Lost in Space?" Actually, CBS had cancelled Lost in Space in 1968, one year before NBC cancelled Star Trek."

Is this serious? An ERROR? This was a gag, in a comedy sketch. You might have well said it was an error because Chrysler Imperials can't fly through space. This was fiction, satirizing other fiction. It was not meant to be a factual documentary. It this was an error, the entire history if fiction is an "error". It's ludicrous to consider this a "minor error." It was a joke, and never intended to be factual. 172.58.223.159 (talk) 02:42, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
