"Original Klingon"
editI'm reasonably sure that this line in STVI was meant to be a joke on Chang's part; he's a smart guy and would obviously know that Shakespeare wasn't a Klingon. He was just tweaking the Federation folks and was not (as the article implied before I chagned it) saying that Shakespeare wrote in Klingon. --Jfruh 17:02, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
- In the Klingon Hamlet (I bought it in Vegas, where else?), the preface is supposedly written by other Klingon researchers who make the same claim. The entirety of Star Trek VI is laden with elements from real international affairs. In the instance of Hamlet in Klingon, it is based on German propaganda that implied William Shakespeare was originally German. It only seems more absurd in this context. For a final laugh, the preface the Klingon Hamlet talks about Romeo & Juliet as one of Shakespeare's "Problem Plays" (from the Klingon mindset) while his greatest work, to them, was unsurprisingly Titus Andronicus. --Bobak 19:57, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:General Chang.JPG
editImage:General Chang.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 10:05, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Notability
editJust about all of this "article" looks like a re-hash of the ST:6 plot from Chang's perspective. Maybe some stuff from fansites, novels, comics, an editor's fiction, etc., thrown in (and this is the "Overview" section!). The whole thing ought to be condensed into a couple of sentences and put in ST:6's character section. — Cbbkr (talk) 22:50, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
- THIS. How the hell does this get a article and Christopher Lloyd in ST3 don't get shit?--Razdower (talk) 20:37, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
