Boom mic in DS9 2x17

While watching the DS9 Season 2 episode "Playing God" I noticed that you can see a boom mike in the console behind Jadzia Dax from approximately 22:51 until approximately 27:08 and from approximately 27:14 until approximately 27:20.

In the TNG episode "Unification II" there is a similar goof involving a sound technician that is listed in the background information. I would like to make an addition to the "Playing God" article in a similar fashion, but I wanted to check if there were any specific guidelines in relation to production goofs before I proceeded.

I am an editor on Wikipedia so I am very comfortable with writing and editing articles, but I am also very aware of how wiki communities operate with their rules and guidelines and I wanted to make sure that I would follow any (if there are any such guidelines for production goofs present) before I proceeded. Thanks bunches! --Ihmhi 21:08, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I guess our guidelines for information like that are 1) it goes in the background section (vs. a "Bloopers" or "Goofs" or any other name), and 2) the tone is kept encyclopedic, i.e. nothing that comes across as "Look what they did in xxxx!!!! Can you believe how stupid they were to not catch that????" -- Renegade54 21:43, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Would a similar note be acceptable in the Background section of "Chain of Command, Part I"?

Here's the note I'd like to include:

• While Picard and Jellico are having their final briefing, the scene cuts back and forth to Riker at the first aft station on the bridge. It is interesting to note that earlier in the episode, Captain Jellico ordered it to be changed to Damage Control, yet it is still labelled Science I.

I had included a similar observation in the Summary section, but being new, didn't realize that was inappropriate. Where, if anywhere, could this be noted?--Topher208 12:55, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

As Renegade54 said, it goes in the background. I guess I will get around to writing the stuff about the boom mike when I get a chance. --Ihmhi 04:04, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Mardah vs. Martha

After just writing the summary for this episode, it's very obvious Sisko says "Mardah" and not "Martha" when he's in his quarters talking to Jake, so I've removed the background information saying otherwise. It may say "Martha" in a script or something somewhere, but it's very clear he says "Mardah". Unless my hearing sucks. --Cinder 10:14, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Yep, my goof. She is called Martha in the teleplay, but Sisko clearly says 'Mardah'. Sorry about that. Bertaut 21:54, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Jadzia's Spots

"When Arjin goes to Jadzia's quarters and she is with her alien friend, Jadzia appears wearing nothing but a towel with her bare shoulders showing no thrill spots all the way down from her shoulders to her toes. In later seasons, the show's producers decided to make Jadzia's thrill spots go all the way down her body to her toes. See season 5 episode Let He Who Is Without Sin..."

I think this is inaccurate. I may have misunderstood it, but I think it is suggesting there are no spots on her shoulders and legs. However, you can clearly see spots on her shoulders running down beneath the towel. As for her legs, it's hard to see them, you don't get a good enough view to say there are spots there, but you don't get a good enough view to say there aren't either. – Bertaut ^talk 17:27, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

I was going to check on this last night, but I forgot. Thanks for doing it, Bertaut. I knew it had to be incorrect as Curzon Dax is shown to have spots going down his shoulders in DS9: "Emissary". --Cinder 17:33, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Why was this removed following "Richard Poe as Evek"? We normally include instances of "credited as." Was he not credited this way? - Bridge 12:57, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
