Talk:Micah Sanders

Strange how he doesn't have his father's last name... especially since it appears Niki and D.L. haven't been separated all that long and they probably aren't divorced, since D.L. disappeared before divorce proceedings could've happened. Might D.L. not be his real father?

• Niki could have easily had his name changed after D.L. went to prison... it doesn't take all that long and is worth it - especially if you are trying to get a new start for the boy (new school, etc.)
  • It's also possible that Micah was born before Niki and DL were legally married, which would account for his last name. --Ted C 11:37, 4 December 2006 (EST)
    • Or they could have just chosen to give him his mom's last name when he was born. No rule against it. The point is, there's no way to be sure what, if anything, this means.--Hardvice (talk) 11:41, 4 December 2006 (EST)

Micah's age

• Oddly enough, Micah may be the only character whose age is (mostly) confirmed. Hal, who has never met Micah before, gives him a lptop and claims it's "amortized over ten birthdays". Throw in an extra half year for the six months between then and Homecoming and you've got Red's 10-11 years.--Hardvice (talk) 21:44, 4 January 2007 (EST)
  • Good catch - I didn't think about Hal's comment. Thanks for the fix. -
  • EXACTLY! So How do i Do the (Hist|Diff) Edit Back to my 10-11 Age Post?

    • For now, it's better off in "Notes" since we can't really be precise. I added a note about Hal's comment, though. (I know it seems everyone's really picky about what info goes in articles, but it's for consistency's and clarity's sake. There's a bunch of information about sources and speculation in Help:Sources.)--Hardvice (talk) 22:06, 4 January 2007 (EST)

          • Personally, I'd say it's close enough to include. It makes sense that he'd say "10 birthdays" meaning that Micah was 10, and I don't think they'd count the day he was born when it comes to birthdays. If he were a different age I'd expect one of them to have corrected him given the semi-confrontational nature (particularly by D.L.) However I could still understand any hesitation to include it in the sidebar. (Admin 23:40, 4 January 2007 (EST))
            • I say include it - but because he could have had another birthday in those six months, we should say 10 or 11. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:04, 5 January 2007 (EST)
