	My friend and I are having an argument about whether she is from high school or college. He thinks that she is from High School as one of the officers says "NSA's recruiting right out of High School these days". Where as I think that this is to put emphasis how young they are, and that they are actually from university with a degree in a computer associated program. Is she university/college or just High School educated?		My friend and I are having an argument about whether she is from high school or college.

Nationality

New page

I don't think she's ever actually called "Margaret" by anyone, so no, this shouldn't be moved. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 20:26, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

:Yeah, seriously. As far as we're aware, her given name is just "Maggie". -[[User:Rotty|Rotty]] 20:29, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
::"Maggie" isn't always short for "Margaret," anyway. There are other options. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 20:29, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
:::For example, her parents might have named her "Magatron". [[User:JW|JW]] 20:34, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

:::Okie-day, I assumed her full name was from some source I wasn't aware of.
:::Someone needs to note she's called 'Maggie Marconi' in the storybook though. (Whose differences from the movie I'm currently cataloging.)
::: Also, she's not good friends with Glen for no reason- they work together at the Rand corporation. (He might be an outside consultant or something.) She was heading in to work at Rand in the (mercifully) cut hacking-streetlights-in-a-cab scene when the DOD people grabbed her for the pentagon thing. (The junior novel fleshed out how they knew one another instead of dwellign on the racially uncomfortable nature of Glen's home.) I'm not sure if they're actual co-workers, or if he's consulted for Rand or what- but that's how she knows him. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 20:39, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
::::Is this the same storybook where Glen is a white dude with a much older looking computer? --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 20:53, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

::::Nope, that's the Storybook. I'm talking about the Junior Novel. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 21:12, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Along the lines of the Maggie/Margaret discussion above, I kind of dislike that all the movie characters' articles have been put at the most long, formal-sounding version of their names people can come up with rather than names that were actually given to us in, for example, the movie's credits. For example, Judy Witwicky is now referred to as Judith "Judy" Witwicky, seemingly just on the basis of supposition. I know the help files say that humans should be referred to by their full names, but it also says "if known". --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 18:49, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

:I know I've changed a couple named like this- but I've been careful to do it only when someone's full name is actually ''known''. Some kids are just named 'Sam,' after all, not short for anything.
:Unfortunately I don't think all editors are applying that level of rigor to the decision, and are apign the end-style without realizing the long names are verified. :p -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 01:23, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Should we add a comment saying she's a corporate shill for Panasonic or that she recommends Panasonic SD cards? --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 05:35, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

==Nationality==

Does either of the novelizations establish that Maggie is Australian, or otherwise provide an explanation for her accent, or is that issue left untouched the way it is in the movie itself?--[[User:TVsGrady|TVsGrady]] 19:53, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
