Ten Forward → Thanks page (Reply | Watch)

Has anyone ever thought of creating a thanks page, where all the books that thank this wiki and MA for helping out could be listed.--Long Live the United Earth 23:10, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Nope, but not a bad idea... Any ideas for a page name? --8of5 01:51, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Memory Beta:Thanks recieved (hope I spelled that right) or something like that.--Long Live the United Earth 01:30, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, sounds a bit like a donation thanks sort of thing when I read it for some reason… Maybe "Memory Beta: Acknowledgements", or "Memory Beta: Thanks and praise" (that one sounds a bit religious…) "Memory Beta: Thanks and acknowledgements", etc. --16:40, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

You're right that does sound a little off. I would go with acknowledgements. Also, I will be willing to try and compile the list if it is decided to create it.--Long Live the United Earth 18:19, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

"Appreciations" -- Captain MKB 19:05, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Perfect. I say we go with that one. --8of5 20:56, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

I think that sounds fine. A) should it include references to MA or just this wiki. B) what year should I start looking at 2004/2005/2006.--Long Live the United Earth 23:57, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

I went through my newer books and here is what I have:

Echoes and Refractions

• The Chimes at Midnight
  • MA & MB
• A Gutted World
  • MA & MB
• Brave New World
  • MA

Infinity’s Prism

• A Less Perfect Union
  • MA & MB

Obsidian Alliances

• The Mirror-Scaled Serpent
  • MA

Q & A

• MA & MB (under former name)

Dawn of the Eagles

• MA & MB--Long Live the United Earth 01:13, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I'd say keep to Memory Beta, after all the page you suggest is Memory Beta: Appreciations. I don't know if you contribute at MA as well, but if you're doing the research it might be worth you offering to make a similar page over there.

I don't think you'll find many/any references to us going back more than a year or so, we've not really been big or well known enough to until relatively recently. Q & A is the first time I can remember spotting a mention. --8of5 01:26, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Those were the most recent books I had so if someone has any others.... Also, does anyone have an idea for the format of this page? Should it be like: The following books have thanked Memory Beta for helping in the books research (and then the list).--Long Live the United Earth 16:20, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

We were also listed in the acknowledgments section for ENT novel: Kobayashi Maru. MA and MB– AT2Howell 14:22, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I hadn't got that book yet.--Long Live the United Earth 14:28, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

So, format ideas?--Long Live the United Earth 23:56, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

What you said before seems fine, I'd be inclined to say acknowledged rather than thanks. --8of5 00:00, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

OK. I'll create it then--Long Live the United Earth 00:03, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Check it out here. I hope it's OK.--Long Live the United Earth 00:21, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Looks good to me. Oh, and Greg Cox says "Memory Beta is a great site. I rely on it all the time." – AT2Howell 03:38, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

The Memory Alpha version is at Memory Alpha:Acknowledgements. Fyi. -- Sulfur 15:29, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
