My, this is an odd half-thread... I appear to be oblivious to its effects thus far, don't I, Elim?

How often will the SWDAO be updated? In this recent example, it turns out that the Potemkin has been seen as an Excelsior-class so shouldn't that be mentioned in Matt's article on SWDAO?

The USS Potemkin NCC-18253 is listed in both Star Trek Encyclopedias as being an Excelsior class starship. Though the Potemkin has on screen as an Excelsior clas, there is a second sighting of her in the episode "Second Chances." In the Enterprise-D's observation lounge, LaForge goes to one of the screens in the lounge to show the bridge crew what caused the duplicate Riker to appear. The screen shows the planet's surface, the two transporter beams which caused the mishap, and an Ambassador class starship. Logically, one would assume that this is a representation of the USS Potemkin. But is this really what the Potemkin looks like? Some say the Ambassador class starship model is just a 'placeholder', or a generic design that shows the viewer that it's a Federation starship, not giving out many details. But, this screen could be showing the true USS Potemkin as an Ambassador class vessel. The registry number of NCC-18253 fits into both class's numbering schemes, but there are no other Excelsior class starships with numbers as 18xxx. The same applies for the Ambassador class. The possiblity of there being two USS Potemkins is also unlikely, with the low registry on the Excelsior version, and wether or not Excelsiors are still being built
