			On the subject of Cylons, has anybody noticed that before the Alliance, Lee seems to harbor strong anti-Cylon sentiments. Stronger than most. That's one of the most undernoticed things about him, methinks.--[[User:Spidersense215\|Spidersense215]] 04:19, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

	The second, and probably the most important actual issue here, is how the names are used in the article. For clarity's sake, we should '''always use the character's first name or last name when referring to that character'''. Properly, last names are preferred over first names, since last names are more formal and proper for the encyclopedia/reference guide that we've constructed. Callsigns should be totally avoided at all costs, since these are informal military names. (The '''only''' reason we should ''ever'' refer to a character by their callsign is because we don't know of the character by any other name.) When it comes to first names, which is the real issue up for discussion here, I do agree that Lee should always be used if needed, the same with Cally. "Bill" is really a unique case that likely merits further discussion, since he's been referred to as both in the series. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.\|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.\|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support\|Donate]] - [[bsp:\|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 03:57, 4 April 2009 (UTC)		The second, and probably the most important actual issue here, is how the names are used in the article.

	:::::::: That makes sense. But what I am worried about is if someone changes Lee to the still correct but less used Leland. Let's say I went through the wiki and changed almost every instance of Lee to "Leland". Would it stay that way, be reverted, or have an edit war between the use of "Lee" and "Leland"? It probably wouldn't be the end of the worldif Leland were used instead of Lee, but it would definitly be a bit weird.

			Knocking this down to first level, hence the lack of indentation. First, we refer to characters by their proper names when it comes to '''naming the article''', so "Leland Adama" should remain that way. Again, we have redirects in place that make this point moot, so it's clearly not for usability reasons.

			The second, and probably the most important actual issue here, is how the names are used in the article. For clarity's sake, we should '''always use the character's first name or last name when referring to that character'''. Properly, last names are preferred over first names, since last names are more formal and proper for the encyclopedia/reference guide that we've constructed.

			:::::::Obviously we shouldn't use "Leland" in article text when the colloquial "Lee" is more appropriate, but isn't the title of the article a separate issue? I think what most people would do is type "Lee Adama" into the search box, end up here, think "Huh, Lee is short for Leland" and then think nothing of it again. It's nice to be able to provide fuller and more accurate information, and I think that the current practice does so in an unobtrusive way. --[[User:Peter Farago\|Peter Farago]] 20:15, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

	:::::This and [[Talk:Callandra Tyrol]] seem to be a bit of a tempest in a teacup to me. If you type "Lee Adama" into the search box, you get to the right place. Ditto for "Cally". I think the articles should use the full given name if it's revealed in the series. Should we move [[William Adama]] to Bill Adama? After all, he's hardly ever called William. I think not. The beauty of redirects is in that we can redirect any permutation of the name. Going through the hassle of moving these articles, correcting links, etc., is probably not the best use of our time with a huge influx of new users, multiple episode summaries that need concision/cleanup. Your mileage may vary. [[User:JubalHarshaw\|JubalHarshaw]] 13:32, 2 April 2009 (UTC)		:::::This and [[Talk:Callandra Tyrol]] seem to be a bit of a tempest in a teacup to me.

	::::::My worry is that we may start including the names "Leland Adama" and "~~Talk:~~Callandra Tyrol" in other articles. After all, if I replaced the use of "Lee Adama" with "Leland Adama" every time "Lee" was used (minus direct quotes), I wouldn't be doing anything wrong. However, this would be confusing. True, if I clicked on Leland I'd be directed here, but it still would be a bit confusing to read that Leland is the CAG, especially considering the name Leland was used just once.
