*I was wondering, if this move is successful, would there be an easy way to fix all other articles which will still be using the "D0g" spelling? Because although it will redirect properly, the name is still spelled wrong elsewhere. Aside from doing it all manually, is it possible to somehow automatically search and correct it?

message: I just realized something from looking at the sources that list his name using the zero spelling: they always write his name with a lowercase 'd' (The only reason the 'd' is ever captalized, as with the shirt and his ingame body texture, is when the entire name is capitalized). This would make the correct spelling "dØg", not "DØg". Consequently, this would mean that every page currently with the spelling as "D0g" should be altered yet again to have it changed to "d0g". :(
However, rather than doing this, I'm still very much in favor of moving the page back to Dog (Half-Life 2) and simply calling him "Dog" from now on. As I mentioned before, I strongly believe that "d0g" is only an alternate way of writing' his name, not the actual way it is spelled. Does anyone disagree? MarphyBlack 01:45, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: The name "DØg" is not correct either

message: Yeah, just thought I'd let you guys know I removed a hidden "spoiler" from the bottom of the page. It was made up , and had no evidence to back it up. It was also placed at the very bottem of the page, probobly because it would be hard to remove.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr. Someguy (talk • contribs) 05:33, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:HalfLife2 Dog.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
