Template talk:Christinas

Not Incarnations
I have a couple of issues with this table/template.

First of all, we need to establish one thing: cwejen are a species. Even if the text is ambiguous about this, our page on them is called cwej(species)], and as we sstrive for continuity wherever possible, we should be consistent here. No species has an "incarnations" table, because thats clearly nonsense. The only thing different about the "christinas" to the other cwjen is that they are female; it causes misunderstanding to treat them all as incarnations of [[Christina Cwej because they justaren't.

The only female cwejen who could possibly be considered "incarnations" would be the 4 "Christine Summerfield"s. But even they are not - they're simply four different female cwejen with similar physiology (and memory? I can't remember if fhey all remember being Blonde girl (Dead Romance) or not. If not, there's even less of an argument to say they are incarnations of each other). Whilst I'm on the topic of the Christine Summerfields, they're named incorrectly. The first one is called First Christine Summerfield and this continues, with an exception at Eliza uo to Fourth Christine Summerfield. This, again, implies they are all somehow incarnations of a Time Lord, or at least some kind of regenerator, when they sinply are not. We already have a practice, if not policy, for naming individuals with the same name who debut in the same source - arabic numerals! For an example of this, see The Doctor 2 (Rose), which is named as such because it would of course be completely nonsensical to name it Second Doctor (Rose), as that would imply they were a version of the Second Doctor. So i propose we rename those three pages to Christine Summerfield 1 ect (although - does that need to be discussed on their individual talk pages?).

Nevertheless, the situation with the Christinas template is more dire, because it is actively confusing users - as an example, i thought all of them reincarnated in some way, rather than all just being different versions of Chris Cwej.

 * The five variations of Christina seen in The Five Christinas were specifically stated to be counterparts of the same person and each held the same universal quality that made them a target by CERN. And the three other clones of Christina from Dead Romance were created using the same hybrid of Chris/the blonde girl rather than just being clones of Chris-only like the rest of the Cwejen. Therefore I think that this template is completely necessary, although maybe it could be renamed as Counterparts of Christina like the templates for the Pete World counterparts. Also, in terms of the naming of the Christina clones, each one was stated to have been created first, second, third, etc. I don't see any issue with naming them First Christina Clone.
