To begin with, thank you very much, Stephenb, for your useful refinements. However, I did decide to revert (or rather adapt) one of them. As I mentioned in Note 3, the novel consistently calls Avon Ker, with one R, explaining it as a short form of Kerguelen (I am considering moving the section of Avon's first name in the Kerr Avon article to this article, but I am in two minds about it since that would make the information harder to find for people unfamiliar with the novel). Since the article refers mainly to the novel, the most consistent choice (which I originally espoused) would be to use Ker throughout. However, as your edit demonstrated, many people might see this as an error rather than a deliberate choice. As a provisional solution, I have changed all mentions of Avon's first name (except the initial one, which is a reference to the series, not the novel) to Ker[r]. While this format may strike some people (frankly including me) as distractingly bureaucratic, I can't think of any other easy solution that would be unambiguous. Suggestions on how to handle the issue more smoothly would be greatly appreciated Nude Amazon ( talk) 05:42, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
Well I know this talk page is for general chatter about the article and not the story itself but I am curious about Avon's age. The article says the events in the book begin 26-27 years before the Blakes 7 we all know and love, but surely Avon as portrayed in the TV series is nearer 40 years old. Is that a typo in the article then, or a misunderstanding on my part?
