Spoonheads
In discussing the nature of the "Spoonheads" it is mentioned that the spoon shape is on their chest. Is it meant the chest of their uniforms? I can think of that episode where Gul Dukat and Sisko are on that desert planet together (the one where we meet Tora Ziyal?) I think that Dukat takes his suit off, but is the spoon on his chest.
I was going to make the change, (to the chest of their uniform) but a roomate said that he thinks it's actually on their chest. Anyone have the episode that they could watch it?
- - I included that info because I seem to remember it from an episode where Quark's Cardassian ex-girlfriend visits the station in one of the early seasons. She had a plunging neckline and it was plainly visible, IIRC.--StAkAr Karnak 11:19, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
So can we get anyone to actually watch those episodes? I don't have any of the seasons purchased, tho I might be able to find them on TV or from a friend somewhere. If anyone can post the names of either of the episodes (and seasons?) that would probably help.McKay 07:20, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
NPOV
In the under dominion leadership section, we see the phrase "unfortunately for the federation". That does seem to be on the side of the Federation. Cardassians coming to this site could be offended that this page takes that position. Should we change it to "Fortunately for the [cardassians|dominion] for neutral point of view purposes? I think it would be best removed (the phrase) entirely

Deletion Obsession
Could you leave the quote from the producer as it is, please, without expanding and misrepresenting it? It says: "We had created the Ensign Ro character last season and created a set of aliens in the Bajorans and the Cardassians and a situation that was sort of a Palestinian- or Israeli- or American Indian-tale situation of a disenfranchised people dominated for years."

- You need to stop deleting whole blocks of text which pre-existed the quote entirely. It is now clearly worded so the quote and text are not inextricably linked, that they do need to match precisely. When you can entire chunks of text, you display your own PoV. This isn't about needing to turn the entire wikipedia into a set of quotes with no surrounding text, but about your dislike of the comparison, though it is true. Kaz 03:44, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
You are being incredibly childish. Your version [1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cardassian&oldid=9219372) has two identical sections called Biology, yet you keep reverting to it, and this proves these are reversions, not edits. All I am doing is removing that repetition, and your one sentence before the quote, because your sentence does not accurately reflect the quote. The producer does NOT mention Nazis. That is YOUR opinion. Slim 04:13, Jan 9, 2005 (UTC)
"The Cardassian race is written to resemble the Israeli government or Nazi Germany, especially how it occupied the homeland of the Bajoran people for fifty years, who were modeled after the Palestinians or the Jews, and put them to work in concentration camps." According to whom? Certainly not according to the quote and link following. Is this something you have a link for, or is it your own POV/original research?

Comments by Michael Piller
Michael Pillar's comments are in reference to "Ensign Ro", a fifth season episode of TNG. They do not in any way describe the "situation", however they do describe that particular episode. These comments have been removed since they are inaccurate in the context of this article, as those comments refer to a particular episode and not to the Cardassian/Bajoran conflict in general. The user is welcome to add those comments to an article about that episode. --Viriditas | Talk 10:36, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
