Pretty Cool, Rather Flattering

It seems that my years of research on the topic of Star Trek canon not only bore fruit on CanonWars.com, but have made their way elsewhere as well.

A recent revision to the "Star Trek canon" page on Wikipedia leans quite heavily on that research. From references to the Roddenberry quotes I recalled and tracked down from the 1988 "One Generation to the Next" TV special, to the old Richard Arnold material I finally found after a lot of searching for any quotes by the guy, and to all the more mundane references, CanonWars was clearly the one-stop shop.

As well it should've been. ;)

That said, there was one area in which the Wiki author improved upon things. In some cases, there has been live-action Trek that was not released in television or movie form . . . for example, the "Star Trek: Borg" live-action segments of "Star Trek: The Experience" at the Las Vegas Hilton feature Voyager actors reprising their roles in a Star Trek story.

Since it was live-action Trek and not a fan-film type thing, some might've been left to wonder if it had validity. The answer would logically be "no" . . . though well-produced, it is licensed material much like the Pocket Books novels.
