Yeah, commonly used nicknames like World War II and the Professor aren't nearly as bad as listing the 11th Doctor's habit of coming up with lame nicknames for himself, and lsiting every insult ever used. It might also make more sense since we have some weird cases like Ace, where the page title actually is her nickname, and she is almost never referred to by her real name. Personally, I would be happy with or without commonly used nicknames, as long as we get rid of the ridiculous on-off names that we have.[[User:Icecreamdif|Icecreamdif]] 05:01, September 12, 2011 (UTC) | |||
