OPAL9533 is GT material

Reading the comments by Peter Gray on the BARD OPAL9533 page, indicates he copied (or lightly edited) the entries from GURPS Traveller: Behind the Claw. Can you add that as a source to these pages, and add the category GT them as well. Thanks Tjoneslo 15:41, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Multiple worlds with the same name.

I'm confused. Can you write up a clear description of the rules you are using on the Manual of Style page about how to handle matching world names for worlds in different subsectors/sectors. Tjoneslo 20:52, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

In looking over the list of names for the database that I am building I have noticed that the simple use of the first two letters of the sector (along with the 4 digit location) may confuse the exact spelling of world name (for example “Shela An 0732” could be confused with “Shela An”; if there were a world name of “Shela An”).

So I started to include the parentheses to differentiate between world name and sector abbreviation. I probably made a thoughtless error in trying to fix the Tarsus world entries and will have to re-look those.

I will add a short description of the renaming convention to the manual of style page as well. --Sstefan 21:09, 12 November 2007 (UTC) See Also User:Sstefan/Multiple Worlds.

Lists of un-entered worlds

I would like to make a suggestions for your lists of all worlds in a sector/subsector. Do not to put the list of worlds in the talk pages. Instead you should put the data into a subpage (e.g. "Sector/World list" or Subsector/World list"). If you'd like I can create a template {{WorldList}} like the Template: Metadata or Template: Secret, which will create the pointer to this list so we know the list exists and can find it.

Same World with multiple names

I've noted your adding talk pages about worlds with a second name. If you look at Core Sector/world list I've been going through the Milieu 0 Core sector listing with another analysis page. (see comments for Core sector world list). After looking through a few of the additional pages you posted I've come to the following conclusion.

All of the worlds that have multiple names have been sources from the Travellers' Digest, and your files are probably original source names are the HIWG analysts. It's not surprising that the worlds change names, but we will need to do more analysis to figure out when/where the names were changes (both in the real world and in game time).
