User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Panopticon/@comment-4139960-20121217140825/@comment-188432-20121226233357 Not really. We weren't taking a pot-shot at your editing. Indeed, until you popped in this thread, I had no idea who'd aded those entries.

The pilot and co-pilot from Nimon are merely examples of a larger rule.

I would say, though, that Jean-Marc Lofficier's musings in The Universal Databank — frankly his musings anywhere — are the last things this site should be using as exemplars. Frequent mistakes by Lofficier and others are part of the reason that non-narrative sources are considered invalid here.

It leads to greater accuracy if we have a clear hierarchy of stories, whereby novelisations can provide a name that the serial did not, and then also include redirects from the character's end-credits name. That way, if you search on the credited name, you'll go to the right place, whereupon you'll be greeted by at least a BTS section explaining that the article's name is derived from the novelisation, not the serial.
