Why are we using thier Nicknames if we know thier proper names? X-BoB58 22:34, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I think because no one looking up 'Rad,' who is refered to exclusively as Rad int he cartoon, seeign an entry for 'Bradly White' would know to click on him.
Same reaosnw e have Sparkplug Witwicky, not Inving William Witwickey, or whatever.-Derik 22:36, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Thats what Rad and disambiguation pages are for X-BoB58 22:44, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

While this is true (and I think you need an "e" in that link that's supposed to go to Bradley White. And possibly a "no-Wiki" tag...), I think that the "main" article should have some connection to the way a character is most commonly known, rather than being slavishly tied to "real" names.--G.B.

Hence The Mechanic as opposed to Nestor Forbes. -hx 21:44, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Exactly! And we actually discussed that at the time. Thanks for reminding me.--G.B. Blackrock 22:21, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
