Hi, sorry but this name may be misspelled: instead of Stern Withel it should be Stren Withel !?! --Rene 11:37, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

If the text of The Colour of Magic justifies it (and it probably does) a redirect can be set up to a correctly titled page. Can you do this (use move command above) or would you want a sysop to make the change? --AgProv 13:03, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

You have to be a sysop to MOVE. --Old Dickens 21:08, 9 January 2009 (UTC)...

Any way you spell the name, what chance being a relation to Theda? D'you reckon TP forgot it when he wrote Moving Pictures and just used a name from his subconscious or presumed no-one would notice OR couldn't be arsed to think of another name and just bunged in another Withel, just as there's barely such thing as a one-entry surname in the UK phone directory at least?? --Knmatt 18:46, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

OR it's another of those obscure jokes with a piece missing that he's giving us another chance at; gods know. ..."arsed"? --Old Dickens 20:50, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
OK, even my wife's heard that one from her set of British/Irish communicants; I'd missed it somehow. --Old Dickens 02:16, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
