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)

Is there an adjective for 'Dalek'? It might be best to make them all "History of...", eg. "History of Gallifrey". Tardis1963 09:37, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

I think we should go with "Dalek history". It's not as if there are many species needing a history page and "History of the Gallifreyans" is a bit strenuous.----Skittles the hog--Talk 10:21, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

Well, the adjective for Dalek is Dalek, as Skittles instinctively pointed out there. But the the way we say "History of the Daleks" is . . . "delete". Any article that starts out "this is just one attempt to write about this topic" is an essay, and probably shouldn't be masquerading as a factual article.

I guess you're right. Dalek is the adjective of Dalek, so having them as "... history" sounds fine to me. Tardis1963 22:38, June 17, 2011 (UTC)
