Name
"Clone" appears in the novel introduction. Adam uses "replicate" in the novel. Either "Cloning" or "Replication" is probably acceptable, and either one is based on a near-canon source. Any strong opinions?--Hardvice (talk) 03:50, 27 November 2007 (EST)
- My "opinions" are stated on Talk:Duplication.--Tim Thomason 03:52, 27 November 2007 (EST)
Merged talk from Talk:Duplication
Name?
All of these are mentioned in some way in the GN (none directly, just "duplicates," "replicates," "clones"). I could go either way, but the page should be moved (if necessary) to the "correct" page, and the others should be redirects.--Tim Thomason 03:48, 27 November 2007 (EST)
Okay, someone created cloning (I made mine first!), but it's better than mine, so I guess merging won't be necessary.--Tim Thomason 03:51, 27 November 2007 (EST)
- I just went with "cloning" because it was already redlinked from Evan. I actually prefer duplication or replication because they're less "loaded" than cloning, but it's really all about the same to me. If anything, we could go with "replication" because it appears in the text of the novel, while the other two only appear in the introduction, but I don't think that really matters.--Hardvice (talk) 03:57, 27 November 2007 (EST)
