New page

It's mildly embarassing to have to ask this, but since I'm getting around to Marvel US issue 26, I need to ask, so I can make sure to do the links right....

Should The Mechanic be listed as "The Mechanic" or as "Nestor Forbes"?--[[User:G.B. Blackrock|G.B. Blackrock]] 00:46, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Hrm. Robot Master is listed as Donny Finkleberg, but Circuit Breaker and Lazarus are listed under their alter egos, and not as Josie Beller and Adam Rook. I would go with The Mechanic, but make Nestor Forbes a redirect. - [[User:RolonBolon|RolonBolon]] 02:08, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

: I'd go with The Mechanic, too. (Donny Finkleberg isn't listed under Robot-Master because he was Robot-Master only for a few issues until he ran away and did stuff with the Autobots and Triple-I.) --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 02:33, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

::Further, the page's title should be [[Mechanic]], not "The Mechanic" or "Mechanic, The". We leave out "the" and similar words at the beginnings of article names. --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 03:34, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

:::Thanks, all!--[[User:G.B. Blackrock|G.B. Blackrock]] 03:39, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

I might be wrong, but I think "The Mechanic" might be acceptable in this case because it's actually part of his name. No-one ever just calls him "Mechanic". Right enough though, it is consistent with, say, [[Fallen]].

And I am, infact, wrong. For some reason I picked up the impression it might be OK if it was a definate article, but I went to check the naming policy right after, and there's no mention of it.--[[User:TheTurnipKing|TheTurnipKing]] 13:59, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
