This rank, and more importantly the chevrons to denote it, did not exist until 1971. Their depiction in the "infobox" is an anachronism.--Reedmalloy (talk) 20:57, 27 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

very peculiar article. If we are to have a biography of Gene Roddenberry, it should all be in one place. Or, if it must be be in pieces because we (arbitrarily in retrospect) divide his life into pre-Star Trek and Star Trek, this article should have a way (at the end) for the reader to jump to the Star Trek part of his life. 173.174.85.204 (talk) 21:34, 27 October 2015 (UTC) EricReply
Wikipedia's manual of style gives general maximum sizes for articles - which the main Gene Roddenberry article met. When an article meets that size, there will be sections that are cut off so that it can be linked to and summarised in the main article. That is what this is. The style guide for biographies state that Early life articles such as this should cut off prior to the work which the person is most known for - which in this case is Roddenberry's writing career. The link to the main article itself is the very first mention of his name, at the start of the lead paragraph. Click on that and you'll go to the main article - alternatively when you scroll to the bottom, click on his name there and you'll also go to the main article.
