Klingons Have Infiltrated Harbour Air

They’re a plague on the universe. Check out the Harbour Air website. They’re bald-faced about declaring their new allegiance. I’ve added the Klingon flag for comparison:

Harbour Air, Infiltrated by Klingons

Of course they’re carbon-neutral. Even a ceti eel knows that warp drives don’t emit greenhouse gasses.

Incidentally, does Wikipedia really need a thousand words on the Klingon High Council? I must review the notability rules.

Ha! Good catch. Growing up in Ontario, I always got a chuckle from Ontario’s inverted Klingon logo.

They *say* it’s a trillium, but I know better. ;)

So you’ve become a Wikipedia deletionist?

Derek: Hmm…I’m not really sure. Context is really important for information. In a digital context, we currently lose a lot of signals for relative importance. That’s something that’s sorely missing from Wikipedia.

I just wish the depth of information was as exhaustive on every subject as it was on Star Trek. And that there were a bunch of more obvious queues for the relative notability of a given topic.

Haha! I never would have caught that. That there’s a slight association (aircraft/spacecraft) is amusing.

I got a chuckle from Ontario’s NEW logo. :P

Heheh, nice one. :)

If I’m not 100% mistaken the Klingon logo even is called “Imperial Threeleaf” at least in one or two novels, so it’s even a closer fit. (I mean it’s supposed to be the leafs of some alien plant, stylized of course, just as in the airline’s logo). :)

This is the internet! Nothing will be as exhaustive as hearsay information on old science fiction movies and tv shows.

hehe, wikipedia definitely lacks the touch! Though not only wiki, google is not not counting on context search either. Ever heard about ICDL? They say they’re gonna change the Web forever…take a look at omfica.org

I do think a long article on the Klingon High Council may be excessive, but the deletionists seem to be going a bit far. I’ve started a couple of articles on obscure but still interesting topics and had them purged in short order. Sure, I could get on the Talk pages and make arguments and so on, but it’s not worth the effort — and that’s the point. I get the feeling that in 2007 Wikipedia stopped being fun and easy for average people to contribute to, and that it will suffer in the long run for it.
