Dynasty middle names

Please stop re-adding these non-canon middle names; please see the following: Talk:Dynasty (TV series)#Removal of apocryphal character names for as explanation why they are inappropriate. TAnthony 01:34, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Why do you keep deleting my additions?

The "questionable" names come from three different sources: 1) the series; 2) The Authorized Biography of the Carringtons by Esther Shapiro; and 3) Judith Moose, author of Glamour, Greed & Glory - Dynasty. To quote her:

"This is information I got from Spelling Entertainment (about ten years ago) while working on a research project.

Blake Alexander Carrington

Alexis Marissa Morrell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan

Fallon Marissa Carrington Colby

Amanda Kimberly Carrington

Claudia's middle name is Mary"

You might try watching the series. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jboy2525 (talk • contribs) 17:37, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Watch the series?! You just stated on my talk page that these names are from a companion book and another author. As noted on the Talk page for the article, if these names were NOT ACTUALLY USED ON THE SHOW, they should not be listed in the character section. However, if you reference/quote these books, they may be included in the Behind the Scenes section. I have the Unauthorized Biography at home somewhere, I'd be happy to add the information the proper way for you if I can source it. TAnthony 01:42, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, I've added information on both books to the article, and mentioned the middle names in the only way which is appropriate — Moose may be entirely correct, but without documentation we have only her word, and that its not enough for Wikipedia standards. The middles names in question are not mentioned in The Authorized Biography (which, by the way, is not written by Shapiro, only has an intro by her). Thanks for your understanding.
