I'm a little confused as to why this needs to link to the author's annotations -- the fact of the Capella class, nomenclature and the old-style nature of the vessel are all described in the novel itself. -- Captain MKB 10:26, December 15, 2015 (UTC)
- That's true, but as the saying goes: "A picture can paint a thousand words" - and I thought at the time (if I'm remembering correctly, as I did create this article nearly three years ago ;) ) that the snippet from Christopher L. Bennett's notes—plus the link to actual ship at The Starfleet Museum website—might help readers imagine the ship as its layout wasn't described. Plus, I think it's nice to point out other Star Trek resources, not only for Memory Beta users and fans, but also for prospective/future authors. -- Cyfa (talk) 12:26, December 15, 2015 (UTC)
- Agreed. I'd like this particular piece of background info to be reinstated into both this article and the one on the ship class as just such. Of course this info is not canon, or even part of the expanded canon that is the scope of this wiki, but it does shed light on the original intentions of the author. - Bell'Orso (talk) 13:10, December 15, 2015 (UTC)
- The credit to Masao and starfleet museum is in the book's own acknowledgments. it can be added to the article without necessitating a link to a website which, admittedly in the above comments, is immaterial. -- Captain MKB 01:16, December 16, 2015 (UTC)
