Past tense
Why is this article talking about the Borg in PAST tense_ Do they no longer exist?(124.40.63.122 17:48, 8 February 2009 (UTC))


 * While that is a topic of some debate, considering the blows dealt to their structure in the last episode of Voyager, it is not the reason for our past tense.


 * Here at Memory Beta we write in past tense because we are using a "historic encyclopedic" perspective -- basically, we pretend we are further in the future, looking back on Star Trek as if it was past history.


 * For example, using past tense and saying "The Japanese were a colonial power in the late 1800s" does not mean they don't exist anymore -- it just means we are talking of a past time of their history. See? -- Captain MKB 18:16, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
