Can anyone dig up a photo of D.C. Fontana? The ones I found are really small, or don't look very good. Cyberia23 21:11, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

To add
This really needs to talk about Fontana's contribution to Trek as script editor - prabably more important that writer. Also, her work on non-Trek needs expanding. -- Beardo 07:12, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Notable issues

 * The lead section needs to be expanded.
 * The article needs more sources.
 * Reference section needs to be updated to use reflist.

Books? Novels?
How come no list of her published works? Only TWO mentions of books she wrote? And only one title specifically mentioned?

Can this oversight please be rectified?70.190.214.167 (talk) 14:23, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
 * She's only written three novels. All three were already mentioned, but the names of two of them were mistakenly missing. I've added them now. Miyagawa (talk) 17:16, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Photo
Seems odd there's no photo of Fontana but one of Roddenberry.JMeggett (talk) 08:56, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I strongly agree.79.204.19.75 (talk) 08:56, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Tall Man credits
Should be four episodes, not two as the article currently says. Screencaps of her credits here. http://startrekfactcheck.blogspot.com/ Sir Rhosis (talk) 01:05, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

Marriage
Her marriage to Skotak has a peculiarly short mention in the article, and the year only appears in the infobox, and there is no source for either mention. Do any of the present sources mention and date it? Elizium23 (talk) 01:28, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Richard Fontana
In 1985, D. C. Fontana wrote one episode of the carton series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe titled "BattleCat". It is listed as episode 96 in the List of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe episodes, where you can see it was jointly written with Richard Fontana. This second writer's name is wikilinked to the article on Richard Fontana, whose bio does not sound like that of a writer of a He-Man episode. I am wondering if any talk page readers know: They also appear to have worked together on the episode "Planet of the Amazon Women" of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century in 1979. I have read that her pseudonym Michael Richards was based on the names of her brothers, so I wonder if this Richard Fontana is her brother and whether their collaboration is worth a mention? 172.195.96.244 (talk) 10:23, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) Is the Richard Fontana credited as writing the episode with D. C. Fontana the same person as in the Richard Fontana article?
 * 2) Are these two Fontana's related?
