I swapped the #REDIRECT with the copy to Selina Cook because that is her real name. Selina "Roberts" is NOT her real name.

Why did Twinkle roll back to the wrong version I am trying to correct???

Because you did it the wrong way. You don't just copy-paste. I started the process for the correct move.Peter Rehse (talk) 11:30, 18 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Surname edit

Where there a discussion about the page move somewhere else? The character was introduced as Selina Cook, but later changed her surname to Roberts. I believe she spent more of her duration credited as Roberts, and there are more Google hits for this surname. Personally, I thought the character's WP:COMMONNAME was Roberts, but would like to hear from some more H&A editors, so pinging @Raintheone: and @Conquistador2k6: for their input. - JuneGloom07 Talk 22:04, 30 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Roberts should stay. That was her name for the remainder of her time on the show much like Pippa and Ailsa were better known for being Ross and Stewart, than Fletcher and Hogan respectively.Conquistador2k6 23:46 30 April 2017 (UTC)

I've just seen the comments from the editor above, and that's not much of a reason why the page should have been moved. Roberts was definitely her "real" surname, no doubt about that. - JuneGloom07 Talk 00:11, 1 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
Her most common name appears to be Roberts. As mentioned this version of the character's name returns more hits. Plus there are offline sources being magazine articles that refer to her as Roberts. I am not sure why this was hastily moved after all this time without discussion either.Rain the 1 18:52, 1 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Canberra User: and @PRehse: Pinging the editors involved in the move. Was there a discussion about this held somewhere else at all? It seems the page was moved far too quickly based on a copy and paste attempt. Canberra User, perhaps you could state why the page should remain at Selina Cook? - JuneGloom07 Talk 18:24, 7 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
