I'll think of something for the restricted to homeworld species. In the meantime, I noticed in a lot of the revamps that the introductory text for species is getting deleted. I think actually it's nice to have a few sentences to introduce the species before the main article (maybe even a quote or saying from said culture). I also don't think it's necessary to have the species name as a separate header, and it just clutters the table of contents. For instance, what do you think of the edits I made to [[Risian]]? –[[User:Rich|Rich]]<sup>[[User talk:Rich|(talk page)]]</sup> ''aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman'' 09:52, 4 May 2014 (CDT)

== Character page, pictures and such ==
<nowiki>Hi! To change the size of a photo, just add however many pixels you want the width to be as in: [[File:Image.jpg|300px]] for instance. If you want a frame to be around the picture and for it to be displayed on the right as a thumbnail, just put in [[File:Image.jpg|thumb]]. If you want the thumbnail on the right [[File:Image.jpg|left]]. If you want the thumbnail bigger or smaller: [[File:Image.jpg|thumb|400px]]. </nowiki>

You could put the three academy diplomas side by side by putting them in a basic table:
<pre>
{|
|
{{Academy Diploma
|Name on Diploma=Tal Tel-ar
|Graduation Date=237707.31 
|Post2390=Yes
|Major=Security/Tactical
|Commandant=Andrus Jaxx
|Training CO=Leo Handley-Page
}}
|
{{Academy Diploma
|Name on Diploma=Tal Tel-ar
|Graduation Date=238107.31 
|Post2390=Yes
|Major=Communications/Operations
|Commandant=Andrus Jaxx
|Training CO=Leo Handley-Page
}}
|
{{Academy Diploma
|Name on Diploma=Tal Tel-ar
|Graduation Date= 238307.31 
|Post2390=Yes
|Major=Intelligence
|Commandant=Andrus Jaxx
|Training CO=Leo Handley-Page
}}
|}
</pre>
Which gives you this:
{|
|
{{Academy Diploma
|Name on Diploma=Tal Tel-ar
|Graduation Date=237707.31 
|Post2390=Yes
|Major=Security/Tactical
|Commandant=Andrus Jaxx
|Training CO=Leo Handley-Page
}}
|
{{Academy Diploma
|Name on Diploma=Tal Tel-ar
|Graduation Date=238107.31 
|Post2390=Yes
|Major=Communications/Operations
|Commandant=Andrus Jaxx
|Training CO=Leo Handley-Page
}}
|
{{Academy Diploma
|Name on Diploma=Tal Tel-ar
|Graduation Date= 238307.31 
|Post2390=Yes
|Major=Intelligence
|Commandant=Andrus Jaxx
|Training CO=Leo Handley-Page
}}
|}
However, as you can see, they're pretty big, so it might actually just make more sense to keep them stacked one on top of another or just display the first one. –[[User:Rich|Rich]]<sup>[[User talk:Rich|(talk page)]]</sup> ''aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman'' 18:30, 8 May 2014 (CDT)
