Comment[edit]

The dig at Gene Roddenbery really belongs in Gene's article. But of course, it would never survive there!

--- Anonymous

Yes, I agree - this is no place for bald statements slamming people like Mr. Roddenberry.

I have changed it using words like "supposedly". Also, nobody but a mind-reader knows how Mr. Courage and Mr. Roddenberry felt or thought about each other. In one way of looking at it, they both owed each other a lot of respect for what they did for each other. They both benefitted a lot.

I don't know what exactly you are referring to, or when you had this discussion (since you did not sign your comments), but if a reputable source describes a notable disagreement between two notable people, then it is appropriate to include it in either of their articles.

Strange bio[edit]

According to this bio he was born in 1919 during WW1 which ended 1918. Did anyone extend this war without telling me? --194.231.42.82 (talk) 13:00, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Star Trek theme section[edit]

I created a new section named "Star Trek" theme and moved all the relevant "Career" information to it, since Courage is primarily known for writing the Star Trek theme. Primogen (talk) 16:20, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

World War II service[edit]

Although Courage served in the United States Army Air Forces during the World War II era, no reliable sources found as of yet state that he served overseas in a war zone during the war. Accordingly, Category:American military personnel of World War II was removed from the article. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 12:56, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
