[edit] Spelling?

An anon changed the spelling of this actor's name to "Tjulander" in the Barash article. Is the title of this article how it is spelled in the episode?--31dot 18:28, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

She went uncredited in the episode, but the script and her costume tag apparently spelled it as "Tjulander". The TNG Companion spells it as "Tjowander". I added some text to the article to indicate the differences and put in a redirect from the alternate spelling. IMDB also spells it this way, as an aside. -- sulfur 18:36, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Script? --Alan 18:39, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

This is based on the eBay listing for the Barash costume. That's what it stated. Sorry, should've listed my "source".  :) -- sulfur 18:53, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Moved from the article's page:

The proper spelling is "Tjulander" - Larry Nemecek got it wrong – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.120.229.135 (talk).

Since we have two sources which spell it as "Tjulander" and only one spelling it "Tjowander", shouldn't we move it to "Tjulander"? --From Andoria with Love 05:31, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Larry Nemecek "got it wrong" because that's how the call sheet had it spelled--which can be notorious for sloppy spelling on mere extras and such, but that's all we had in 1992. :-) I trust by "script", Sulfur, you mean "script notes," because an actor's name, much less an extra's, would not have been listed in a script. In any case, if the costume tag and IMDB are in agreement, then by all means go with "Tjulander." and I'll make the change in my own database. – Bones4ever 18:38, 26 November 2008 (UTC)bones4ever

Yes, notes on the script at the top with the names of characters apparently spells it as "Tjulander". IMDB has the spelling "Tjowander". Likely from the Companion. -- sulfur 19:24, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
