I am *almost* certain that Conard is called Conrad in at least one episode. --Simon Cursitor 30 June 2005 10:32 (UTC)

The only members of Spectrum who were actually named in the original TV series were Captains Scarlet and Blue. The rest of the Spectrum member's names where made up in a publication years later. Also, the mars vehicle wasn't destroyed in the original TV series. Did this happen in the CG version? -Davidwil 15 August 16:54 (UTC)

It wasn't "years later" - it was in the contempoaneous spin-off material. (In particular the annuals.) And remember that spin-off comics were closely tied to the series - some appearing before the series. (e.g. Angels in Lady Penelope). Certainly Black is mentioned as Conrad Turner in TV21 October 1968 - http://www.technodelic.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Upload03/Scarlet02.htm -- Beardo 06:23, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't it ironic that Lord Black, also called Conrad, the ex Canadian newspaper proprietor, is now facing jail for heinous crimes, what's in a name? Though his crimes seem to be from pure greed, whereas even Captain Black never stoops that low - he may enjoy torture or willful destruction but it's always for a morally higher purpose, in the pursuit of Mysteron interests!

Several years ago, an editor added the sentence "Until then, humankind was aware only of rock snakes (featured in Thunderbirds Are GO) inhabiting the planet"[1] This remained in the article from 28 November 2006 until 25 February 2011, on which date Alexandre8, without explanation, replaced the word "humankind" with "mankind".

This edit goes against Wikipedia guidelines on gender-neutral language, which state "Use gender-neutral language where this can be done with clarity and precision" and "Non-neutral usage can sometimes be avoided by careful word choice; for example, by using people or humanity (instead of man)" I reverted this unhelpful edit, and since then the editor has edit-warred in order to maintain his substitution of gender-specific for gender-neutral language. His (presumably) edit summaries have been dismissive, and do not relate to any Wikipedia policy. I hope that other editors will assist in maintaining the gender-neutral language of the original, 2006, edit. RolandR (talk) 19:23, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
