The result of the proposal was It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it be moved. -- Stemonitis 09:32, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
The page itself notes that the title of the episode does not end in a question mark, so does it belong in the title of the article? I propose moving it to "Who Watches the Watchers". Objections? Goodnight mush Talk 23:04, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment There don't appear to be any objections to moving this article to "Who Watches the Watchers" per the image above. I am therefore requesting admin assistance for this move -- Lox ( t, c) 23:47, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
I don't know if this is relevant, or even worth mentioning, but the "primitive bow" used by the Mintakans is a modern (well, modern in the '80s)compound hunting bow, poorly disguised. It has a pulley on the bottom limb, and a second string is clearly visible. One of the bows was also left-handed (which is funny, since the "archers" using the props are right-handed) and the arrow rest is on the wrong side of the riser. Someone really dropped the ball on that one.
(edit) Okay, I take that back. They use several bows during the episode, all of which appear to be compound bows. What's even funnier, though, is that bow used to "shoot" Stewart with changes during the course of that scene. First, Liko is holding the FUBAR-ed left-hander. The camera briefly cuts to Stewart, who delivers a few lines. When it cuts back to Liko, the actor is holding a right-handed bow.
Furthermore, the Mintakan hunting arrows are made of aluminum, with plastic fletchings and field target points. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.110.152.227 ( talk) 10:22, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Personally I found the information about the goof with the bows far more relevant and worth mentioning than the whole article it's self, which is just a spoiler. It is a spoiler and does not give any forewarning that it is a spoiler. It delivers far more information than that is needed for Wikipedia about the episode and no technical information such as what Richard noted above about the goofs. At least I know now not to look up episodes on Wikipedia, the spoiler website. 50.47.140.236 ( talk) 09:34, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

It seems that a single person on the site has took it upon thenselves to review every episode of TNG on Tor.com, but I see nothing substantial or noteworthy for that site to be mentioned as a source, especially with the incredibly biased review structure the author is adhering too, seeming to intentionally be contrarian. There are already plenty of established reviewing sites mentioned in this article, and it feels like this tor.com review has been added solely for the site to gain notoriety. I suggest it's removal from this and other articles. Thanatossassin ( talk) 00:55, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
