Okay, this may be nitpicking, but since the character's real name is Frederick Steiner, that should be the article and "Anastasius Focht" should thus redirect to "Frederick Steiner", not the other way round as it is now. Since I don't know how to change the redirect, could one of the admins do it? [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] 08:04, 10 January 2008 (CST)

:I'll disagree with you only to play devil's advocate. I don't have a particular opinion on this, but he was known as Anastasius Focht for longer than he was known as Frederick Steiner, did more in ComStar, and is more famous for what he did in ComStar. Even after WoB announced his identity, he continued to be known as Focht. If there is [[Policy:Consensus|consensus]] to move to article, I'll happily do it, but I don't think it should be done without it. Anybody else want to chime in? --[[User:Scaletail|Scaletail]] 08:53, 10 January 2008 (CST)
