501st
One thing: Since the others came to call him Wry, wouldn't that be considered a nickname? If so, a nick template is needed.501st dogma(talk) 23:49, August 17, 2014 (UTC)- As I gathered from the novels, the clones did not want to have anything reminding them of their past at the facility, so they essentially replaced their Subject designations with the names they gave to each other. As far as the clones were concerned, those were their real names. QuiGonJinn (Talk) 08:24, August 18, 2014 (UTC)

Floyd
Would like a little more context on Thrawn in the intro.- Added.
"and earned himself the name "Wry" among the Community members." Why is this in the P&T? Does the name actually have anything to do with his personality?IFYLOFD (Enter the Floydome) 05:01, September 3, 2014 (UTC)- It might. It's evident in Riptide that the clones' names reflected something special about them. Seer was named so because of her visions, Scar had a prominent scar on her body, and Two-Blade, well, wielded two blades. By that logic, Wry's name might have something to do with his personality. Maybe he had a dry, sardonic sense of a humor. However, since it's not clearly stated in the book, I had to word it vaguely as well. QuiGonJinn (Talk) 13:27, September 3, 2014 (UTC)
- Well if there's nothing conclusive, I don't think that tidbit needs to be in the P&T. You having it there, saying he "earned" the name, suggests that it had something to do with his personality, but you say that nothing's stated. IFYLOFD (Enter the Floydome) 02:06, September 5, 2014 (UTC)
- Very well. I've removed that part. QuiGonJinn (Talk) 09:45, September 5, 2014 (UTC)
