Why is "Dinobot Clone" being capitalized and used grammatically like it's a proper name? --Steve-o 17:50, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
- "Clone" is capitalized in every instance in the script. Interrobang 18:11, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
- It's still not a proper noun. The thing never had a real name.--Rosicrucian 18:11, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
- It's not a name- it's a title then. But the script recognizes that name/title as a proper Noun, and we often take the script's lead on that wen there's no better name for the characters. -Derik 18:14, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
- "Dinobot Clone" is as valid as "U-Haul Robot" or "It". Interrobang 18:16, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
- Essentially yes. we're nto asserting that it's the character's name, merely that as a title for referring to him, it can be treated as a proper noun, much like President of the United States isn't the guy's name.
- (Make sure he ends up in the Nameless Characters cat.) -Derik 18:44, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
- "Dinobot Clone" is as valid as "U-Haul Robot" or "It". Interrobang 18:16, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
- It's not a name- it's a title then. But the script recognizes that name/title as a proper Noun, and we often take the script's lead on that wen there's no better name for the characters. -Derik 18:14, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
- It's still not a proper noun. The thing never had a real name.--Rosicrucian 18:11, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
