Captain Price[[edit source]]

In checking the previously-existing cast list against the actually-transmitted end credits, I noticed this line:

I removed it. Totally false information, as far as I can figure out. Starky played Commander Skorr. Also, there is no Price in the end credits. CzechOut | 13:00, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Worker[[edit source]]

Also from the cast list, there's the odd case of a character named simply "Worker" in the credits, who is actually named onscreen as what sounds like "Trepper". He's the Polish worker Martha examines who appears to be hypnotized. Should the character page associated with him be Worker (The Sontaran Strategem), because that's how he's credited, or should it be Trepper, since that's his actual onscreen name? If the latter, do we take a best-guess as to the spelling, and correct the article name later? "Worker" just seems like such an unhelpful article name, when we actually get some description from the script. Even Polish Worker would be better, but it's not accurate in terms of the cast list. Sorry for such a basic question, but I'm not 100% certain of article naming conventions on this wiki. CzechOut | 13:07, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Use the name that appears in dialogue/onscreen. What appears 'in-universe' comes first. They don't necessarily need to be recreated verbatim in the article (though usually are), so use the name Trepper as the page name, but in the credits list have Trepper (Worker) if you think there needs to be added clarification, or just Trepper. --Tangerineduel 13:30, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

2009?[[edit source]]

How is this set in 2009, if it's Martha's home era? Isn't she from 2007-2008 like "us"?
