New page

I don't have a ''Dark Side of the Sun'', but there is already an article on "[[Darven Samedhi]]", written by [[User:AgProv|AgProv]] and uncontested by other contributors. Which is it?--[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 01:46, 9 September 2011 (CEST)

Interesting, In the copy of ''Dark Side of the Sun'' I am currently using it appears as ''Samhedi'' but it is possible that something was changed from the original to the American version. I think it would be best to ask others what their copies say. --[[User:Zdm|Zdm]] 02:04, 9 September 2011 (CEST)
:''Samhedi'' is more popular in Google. All the ''Samedhi''s seem to be here. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 02:48, 9 September 2011 (CEST)
::I have moved all the information from the incorrect spelled to the correctly spelled article. What should be done with the old one now?--[[User:Zdm|Zdm]] 07:43, 9 September 2011 (CEST)
:It depends on whether AgProv provides some justification for the alternate spelling: either redirect and a publishing note or deletion. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 22:14, 9 September 2011 (CEST)

As I recall, the first-edition Corgi paperback I was using was chocca with alternate character spellings, usually deviant by a couple of transposed letters, which made creating pages on the Wiki into something of a hit-and-miss business. Character names in the blurb on the back page were not those used in the text, and even in the text could be variant. It looks like we've discovered another one here! As "Samedi" appears to be the popular consensus spelling, we should follow the [[Imtebos]]/Imbetos rule we worked out after discovering a similar error in {{P}}, where a minor character's name changed within the space of a single page of the first edition paperback. The error was evidently caught in time for later editions and standardised to one definitive spelling, as I think Old Dickens worked out - therefore we noted the error applied to some editions but went with what became, by default, the official spelling. So I have no objections to standardising on "Samedi". --[[User:AgProv|AgProv]] 00:18, 11 September 2011 (CEST)
