:We should go with whatever was used in the episode. The name was spelled on a patch on their uniforms. And I just looked and it's all caps on the patch. I vote for the end credits then. Closed captioning is good when we don't have anything else but we do.

::This is a case where wiki technicalities rule, since the narrative is inconclusive. If we make it "Van Baalen", as the [[closed captioning]] suggests, then searches for van Baalen (or van baalen) naturally work, in the sense that they actually take you to the page. If instead we make it "van Baalen", then Van Baalen doesn't take us to the page (though it will show up in the search list that's generated). Don't ask me why Wikia searches work that way, but they do. That's why if you put in "vincent van gogh" you only get to the page because of a redirect at "Vincent Van Gogh". {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 15:16: Sun 28 Apr 2013</span> | ::This is a case where wiki technicalities rule, since the narrative is inconclusive.

Note the difference when you enter "tricky van baalen" into the search bar. We go straight to Tricky Van Baalen, no redirect required. It's just ''easier'' if we go with the cap, because of technical limitations in the software. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 15:16: Sun 28 Apr 2013</span> | ||
