Talk:Tom (disambiguation)

From Lostpedia

Jump to: navigation, search

this page should be changed to reflect the fact that Mr. Friendly's first name is also Tom. (I have now clue how to code it, but I'll try) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Destoo (talkcontribs) .

It does. PS please sign your comments on talk pages.--CaptainInsano

Auto redirect

I think this article should redirect to Mr. Friendly as he is the most occurring Tom in Lostpedia. If this is done we should have This article relates to the spokesman of the Others. For other occurrences see Tom (disambiguation) at the top. --Blue eagle islander 02:20, 28 September 2006 (PDT)

  • Rename to Tom (disambiguation) and redirect Tom to Mr. Friendly. So many people just use [[Tom]] when referring to Mr. Friendly. Since Mr. Friendly is by far the most notable Tom the page should go right to him with a link to a disambig page at the top of the article. -- Paladine<c.t> 05:39, 12 October 2006 (PDT)
  • Keep as is - see David for another example of a shared name disambig. If Tom becomes a central character (in the credits), maybe it should be the direct link to Tom, but as of now, it seems more useful as is. --Jajasoon 20:56, 13 October 2006 (PDT)
  • Auto redirect, I agree, there is no reason to not have this go directly to Tom the Other, and have a line which has the line at the top.--PandoraX 04:22, 11 February 2007 (PST)
  • Not Strong Agree --James W. 16:03, 16 October 2006 (PDT)
  • Redirected as suggested by Paladine. Sorry Jaja, I didn't see your comment before implementing. IMHO we've had characters that did not have a "main cast" designation that were already known commonly by their first (or last) names only, for example Danielle, Desmond (before S3),etc. However if you disagree, feel free to revert-- C¯ _Santa_ ¯T02:14, 24 October 2006 (PDT)
  • What about poor Tom Brennan??? --Princess Dharma (banned) 12:33, 6 February 2007 (PST)
  • Friendly is the more viewed page so it redirects to him. Ask before you do something next time.--CaptainInsano 12:35, 6 February 2007 (PST)
  • What I have to ask to scratch my ass? That attitude is very unfair this is a wiki after all. --Princess Dharma (banned) 12:39, 6 February 2007 (PST)
Well you were trying scratch your ass and missed basically. Because if you have two redirects it doesn't do anything. Then you just throw it on there without checking the talkpage to see why Friendly had the redirect.--CaptainInsano 12:43, 6 February 2007 (PST)
  • You need to chill and stop letting your personal issues with people get ahead of the issue. I'm afriad that yes I am a new editor and yes it will take me time to grasp all the rules. In the meantime get off my back. --Princess Dharma (banned) 12:45, 6 February 2007 (PST)
It isn't personal, you screwed it up; so I fixed it.--CaptainInsano 12:47, 6 February 2007 (PST)

It wasn't personal you made it so like have made many minor issues so and exaggerated them out of proportion. You wanna continue this do so on my talk page not here. --Princess Dharma (banned) 12:49, 6 February 2007 (PST)

I didn't exaggerat them. You f**ked it up, so I fixed it. Am I suppose to leave it f**ked up? No I am not. So next time don't act on your personnal opinions.--CaptainInsano 12:52, 6 February 2007 (PST)

Theories section?

I know this usually wouldn't happen on a disambiguation page, but wouldn't it be worth having a theories section of why the name Tom (or Thomas) shows up so many times? Maybe also the meaning of the name Thomas ("twin") and literary references -- like Tom Sawyer. --Amberjet11 09:03, 2 November 2006 (PST)

Double Redirect

Tom needs to redirect "Tom (Other)" because of a name change.--|MMORTAL /\LIEN 18:24, 18 March 2007 (PDT)
