216.244.12.76 I need to talk to you

Hi, I am an administrator, Xinyu, and I got a report from ProfesorPaul, about how you've been, "vandalizing" EVERY SINGLE EPISODE OF The Twilight Zone. Discuss your intentions, what you have editted, fixed up, and under what pretext you have for doing so. I need you to tell me all the information you can get, and I promise both you and ProfessorPaul, this problem would be negotiable, once the facts has been laid bare, and then I'll see that NPOV, justice, and peace would be restored on this article. Thank you, please reply on my user TALK page. Thank you. --Lord X 01:36, 20 June 2006 (UTC)User:Xinyu[reply]

Confusing statement

In the Errors section, the final statements are "The doctor of the ship is also depicted as a Navy Chief. This may appear to be in error, in that enlisted sailors only qualify for the Corpsman rating. Independent duty corpsmen, however, are often addressed as "doc." "
First, is there a reference for this?
Second, it sounds like there is a confusion between the similar words "rating" and "rate" (the first is the job [eg. a corpsman], while the latter is the hierarchical position [eg. chief petty officer]).
Third, a chief in the Navy is an enlisted sailor, so I'm not sure why the statement seems to imply that they are not.
Fourth, "independent duty corpsman" is a qualification available (through additional schooling) to corpsmen of ranks 2nd Class (E-5) and above (which obviously would include chiefs [E-7]).
Fifth, these statement seem to try to explain the error as not being an error (the choice of words seem to set up a resolution to the error ["This may appear to be an error", as the main example]), but I don't see a resolution to the setup.
Anecdotally, our "doc" on the destroyer that I was on was a chief, so nothing seemed out of the ordinary while I watched this TZ episode (and I was paying extra attention due to how accurately things were depicted, even calling out what orders would be given next and the replies before they were given — someone involved in the making of this episode obviously had been in the Navy; much more than I would have expected from the writer Rod Serling [an Army boy]).

I have removed that section - while doing other clean up. That was added years ago, but that kind of section should never have been added without any refs. --Musdan77 (talk) 01:20, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No hyphen

There's no hyphen in the title, as shown on the screen (beginning and end). --Walor (talk) 05:35, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
