:I have to go back and watch Hand of God but, I don't think Wilco is part of the phonetic alphabet. In radio transmissions it means "Will Comply" so you can see why it would be confusing to be used as a letter as well. --[[User:Talos|Talos]] 17:49, 23 September 2005 (EDT) | :I have to go back and watch Hand of God but, I don't think Wilco is part of the phonetic alphabet.

:::The alphabet probably has astronomical terms for some of the letters, Pulsar, Quasar, and Universe for example. --[[User:Talos|Talos]] 18:11, 23 September 2005 (EDT) | :::The alphabet probably has astronomical terms for some of the letters, Pulsar, Quasar, and Universe for example. --[[User:Talos|Talos]] 18:11, 23 September 2005 (EDT) | ||
:::: Yeah. As I watched the rest of the episode, they used Wilco again and I was reminded of its normal usage. Thus I've removed it. I agree that Pulsar, Quasar and Universe are likely. I also bet they use Galaxy and maybe Star. However, I don't want to get into the business of pure speculation. --[[User:Day|Day]] 18:19, 23 September 2005 (EDT) | :::: Yeah.

Also, I think it would be really cool if we used the [[Wikipedia:International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]] in addition to an ad hoc guide, just to be as clear as possible. However, that's another issue, I think. --[[User:Day|Day]] 20:43, 10 October 2005 (EDT) | Also, I think it would be really cool if we used the [[Wikipedia:International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]] in addition to an ad hoc guide, just to be as clear as possible.

I'm not sure we should list the unattested entries here, although a link to the NATO alphabet and the points on which terms are unlikely are useful. --[[User: | I'm not sure we should list the unattested entries here, although a link to the NATO alphabet and the points on which terms are unlikely are useful. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 21:38, 10 October 2005 (EDT) | ||
