FA status[]

FA nomination (05 Aug - 20 Aug 2004, Failed)[]

Well organised, well written and contributed to by a few different people. Alex Peckover 08:47, Aug 5, 2004 (CEST)

  • I helped write a large chunk of this one, and I agree. Ryan123450 12:04, Aug 11, 2004 (CEST)
  • Oppose (for now). I find the article clear and conscise. Maybe a bit to conscise. I feel there should be more info added about what we learned in "For the Uniform". -- Redge | Talk 19:11, 11 Aug 2004 (CEST)
  • Oppose. Needs more detail. -- Michael Warren | Talk 19:44, Aug 11, 2004 (CEST)
Archived. -- Redge | Talk 19:58, 20 Aug 2004 (CEST)

FA nomination (05 May - 12 May 2005, Success)[]

Michael Eddington -- Not to toot my own horn, but I believe that I have covered all there is to know about the character, and other users have filled in additional minor info and helped with the formatting. Just added the info on "Our Man Bashir" and "The Adversary" in addition to what I had already submitted. -- Dmsdbo 20:17, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

I have now further expanded the article -- I REALLY think this is all that can be logically said about the character. -- Dmsdbo 23:56, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Support, well written, succinct, and informative. I really like it. — THOR 20:32, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Support - minor characters seem to be having a well-overdue makeover recently, and this one looks like he's going to join the rank of featured! zsingaya 06:37, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Support, although not as detailed or as well-written as the article on Ayala but I'd say that the article is almost exhuastive on Eddington.--Scimitar 17:16, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

Content[]

Hey. Good article! You seem to have covered pretty much anything there's to tell about the guy. One little note: you don't have to Bold every time the name of the character occurs. Only the first time. Therefore, I made a little edit to it. For the rest, good work. ;) Ottens 16:22, 4 Jul 2004 (CEST)

minor mispelling[]

"looney" should be spelled "loonie" The preceding unsigned comment was added by 99.226.56.191 (talk).

We're following the spelling in the script - see Looney and Talk:Looney.– Cleanse ( talk | contribs ) 00:30, November 12, 2010 (UTC)

Canada[]

Is there any proof this: "Eddington was born in Canada."? All I could find about this is: Eddington owned a Canadian coin, his Lucky looney. I doubt this proofs, he was born in Canada. In my opinion it does not even proof his family is from in Canada. It only proofs they own a Canadian coin...--Tobi72 (talk) 13:37, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

Why would a non-Canadian family value a Canadian coin for 200+ years if they were not from Canada? I can accept that it is not proof he himself was born in Canada but I think that is enough to indicate that he was of Canadian ancestry, though. 31dot (talk) 13:44, January 6, 2014 (UTC)
I'll add that the Canada article also only claims that his family is from Canada and not he himself. Made the change in this article. 31dot (talk) 14:27, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

Michael?[]

Does anyone know when Eddington's first name was first established as "Michael"? --Defiant (talk) 07:25, September 30, 2015 (UTC)

Managed to find out myself; it's in "The Search, Part I". --Defiant (talk) 08:38, September 30, 2015 (UTC)

Federation Starfleet was wrongly edited out from the affiliation box for no reason, and my edits are unfairly being undone when I did not put false info.[]

After I edited and added more info for Michael Eddington, which includes his former affiliation with Federation Starfleet, the user called @Sulfur, deliberately undid it as if he's claiming it false. I don't want to complain or make it sound like it, but I do not like what he did. What he did was wrong and led to false information. Everything needs to be put back. Eddington was formally affiliated with Starfleet before he joined the maquis. Everyone knows that. I fear that if I try to put everything back, Sulfur or someone else will undo it and leave it false again. Can somebody fix that, please? And I fear that whenever I try to edit more stuff, people will undo my work for no reason. Will somebody please everyone not to do that? I sure will appreciate it.The preceding unsigned comment was added by User talk:Gammaquadrantsector12 (talk • contribs).

Our general practice is to only have the most recent affiliation in the infobox. 31dot (talk) 22:38, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

If that is so for what you said, then couldn't I type formally federation starfleet after the word Maquis, like how Calvin Hudson's affiliation part was displayed? For the record, Seska is not recently affiliated with the Maquis or Federation Starfleet. Not anymore. That should be edited out too.

From Gold Uniform to Captain[]

In the episode The Adversary Eddington implied that those in the Gold security/engineering division was so unlikely to become Captains that he had given up on trying for the rank. Ironically, he makes this statement the episode before Lieutenant Commander Worf arrives at the station and would later take on the position of strategic operations officer in the Red command division uniform from the Gold uniform. It two alternate futures seen in Star Trek: Voyager they had Captains that were once in Gold uniforms, Geordi La Forge and Harry Kim. Then there is Spock who was in the Blue science/medical division who became a Captain. This makes the idea that he joined the Maquis in some attempt to prove he had what it took to command people seems false. JMasterWor (talk) 03:22, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
