In her vital information it lists Columbus ohio as her place of birth, while every other source gives Cleveland as her place of birth —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.200.240.194 (talk) 08:06, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"all four"? What about the animated series and Enterprise?
this has been ammended in the wiki but it should be mentioned that by most die hard trekkies the animated series, all webisodes, full cast off shot series after voyager ended (most under the sub name new voyages) and the prequal series enterprise are not considered cannon. while enterprise did go out of its way to explain star trek events and the creation of the federation there are multiple forums disputing the waythe series attempted it and just write off the show as another star trek enjoyment show. as such crediting Majel for the big 4 is probally the most correct way to word it. especially since enterprise did not opt to go under the title of star trek until its final season (the obvious assumption that it was a star trek tv show was made by fans however) 152.91.9.153 (talk) 17:15, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
note I added some stuff about her affair with Rodenberry all documented in this book :
I note that the link to the User Friendly webcomic tributewas removed, and the anonymous editor commented "Removing badly-drawn conent-free "obituary" from overrated terrible webcomic)". Although the webcomic link may have been a legitimate removal candidate due to relevancy and notability issues, the comment states that the link was removed due to the editor's personal preferences, whilst at the same time publicising and trying to validate his own personal opinions about said webcomic. I personally applaud anyone, no matter how insignificant or talented in thier field, who makes an effort to mark the passing of anyone who they have respected. I thus question our anonymous editor's ability to do anything other than criticise. - Selezen (talk) 09:52, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK, the image used for this page has been deleted. Can someone please upload a new one (don't forget the image use tag... Jimbo must have gotten some legal papers filed his way for him to put out an edict like that.) 23skidoo 04:27, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The correctness of the word actress is hotly contested. The article uses both I think we should stick to one Sumergocognito 07:42, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I seem to vaguely recall that Barrett also read at least one Star Trek audio book from Simon & Schuster in the 80s or 90s. Can anyone confirm? 23skidoo 18:29, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, she read Q-in-Law (written by Peter David) with John deLancie. Selezen (talk) 09:41, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As an FYI Barrett also appeared in the film Westworld and is credited. She doesn't appear on the Westworld page and it isn't mentioned here.
I don't know if there is enough interest in tracking down her other roles.
Kudos to the research done here!

What is the correct pronunciation of her name? LorenzoB 04:26, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
In the credits for Andromeda, she is listed as Majel Roddenberry. SHould this be listed as an alias or listed in parentheses as the way she sometimes uses her name? Any information as to when she started going by/goes by Roddenberry instead of Barrett? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Paul R. Potts (talk • contribs) 17:37, 2 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]
"...the communications officer M'Ress, the felinoid (more properly ailuroid) Caitian who served alongside Uhura." Why the parenthetical? Shouldn't we just reference one adjective meaning "catlike" here? Is there a canon ST source that references M'Ress as felinoid, and somebody just stuck in the ailuroid because we know better here at Wikipedia? :p Or did one editor write felinoid, and another added the parenthetical instead of editing it boldly? What's the story here? I'll hold off editing this for a day or so in case there is a reasonable explanation, and then I'm gonna fix it. Applejuicefool (talk) 17:33, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Michael Dorn and Colm Meaney seem to be the actors who appeared in Star Trek more than anyone else. But does anyone know the number of appearances by Majel Barrett? (Including by voice only - suchas for the computer voice. CaptKpsja (talk) 14:54, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In the intro to the article, her middle birth name is spelled "Leigh", but in the biography section, it's spelled "Lee". Can someone who's in-the-know make the appropriate correction. --Rob (talk) 07:09, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps I'm mistaken, but didn't Majel Barrett do the voices of computers on the science fiction satire Futurama, as a sort of humorous homage to her similar work on Star Trek?B7T (talk) 10:35, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Is it worth mentioning that Android's alternative to Siri is to be named after her?[1] cmɢʟee'τaʟκ'maιʟ 13:07, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps a naive question, but when did “Majel Hudec” adopt the name “Majel Barrett”? The current article jumps from “Hudec” in one section to “Barrett” in the next, with no explanation, let alone a cited source. Her IMDB page reports that “Majel Barrett” was credited in her earliest roles in 1958. Might “Barrett” be a SAG name? … and if so, can anyone find a published source for that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.181.30.121 (talk) 05:01, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The STC Sentry System (second item and audio) as recorded by Majel Barrett: [2]https://defectdetector.net/railroad/sp - Southern Pacific Detectors Overview. While not a citation, it is an interesting audio example that might warrant inclusion? Iridium6 (talk) 12:19, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
