I guess you're right. ''Dalek'' is the adjective of ''Dalek'', so having them as "... history" sounds fine to me. '''[http://doctor-who-collectors.wikia.com/wiki/User:Tardis1963 <span style="background:#0E234E; color:white">Tardis1963</span>]''' 22:38, June 17, 2011 (UTC) | |||

We've got Gallifreyan history and History of the Daleks, should we standardise how we title 'History of...' or '...history' pages? --Tangerineduel / talk 14:10, June 16, 2011 (UTC)
