::I know this discussion's kind of over, but I just wondered something. [[User:Scrooge MacDuck]] previously argued that one reason to go with the name "Reconnaissance Dalek" is because it's referred to in [[Revolution of the Daleks (TV story)|Revolution of the Daleks]] as the "Recon Dalek", with "Recon" merely being an abbreviation of "Reconnaissance". | ::I know this discussion's kind of over, but I just wondered something.

In [[Resolution (TV story)|Resolution]], the Doctor, when confronting the Recon Dalek, uses the term "Recon scout Daleks" to refer to the [[Reconnaissance scout]] species, and then states immediately afterwards "humanity bands together, vanquishes you", which can be seen as her using the term "Recon scout Dalek" to refer to the ''individual'' Recon Dalek as well. | ::In [[Resolution (TV story)|Resolution]], the Doctor, when confronting the Recon Dalek, uses the term "Recon scout Daleks" to refer to the [[Reconnaissance scout]] species, and then states immediately afterwards "humanity bands together, vanquishes you", which can be seen as her using the term "Recon scout Dalek" to refer to the ''individual'' Recon Dalek as well. | ||
If "Reconnaissance Dalek" is a valid name because "Recon" is an abbreviation of "Reconnaissance", then is it possible for the term "Reconnaissance scout Dalek" to technically be a valid name as well? I can understand wanting to perhaps stick with the name "Reconnaissance Dalek" for the individual so as to avoid disambiguation (as the alternative name would be "Reconnaissance scout Dalek (Resolution), but perhaps it's a more specific term for the species than [[Reconnaissance scout]]. I know this is a query referring to the species more than the individual, but given that the name discussion's on this talk page, it seemed more appropriate to raise the question here.
