What is the source for MacDougal's first name being Sarah? The name given in The Buried Age is Heather, but if a prior source gave Sarah then we can note the discrepancy. --Dr. John Smith 23:00, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Sarah's from A Time for War, A Time for Peace and Meet with Triumph and Disaster, which can be read here – Turtletrekker 01:41, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

It's worth noting that MA also uses the first name Sarah. --Seventy 02:01, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

As does the script, actually.– Michael Schuster 05:31, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Moving the articleEdit

I suggest we move this article to MacDougal, as several different names have been suggested for her. There is a precedent for this (see Stone (Commodore)). --Dr. John Smith 21:43, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Generally I'd agree, but since "Sarah" comes from the script, and there's apparently only one contradiction, I'd tend to leave it be. --Seventy 21:49, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Ditto, unless there are a lot of different names or no clear majority for Sarah I go with keeping it here. --8of5 21:52, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Your probably right, I just thought I'd throw it out there. The same would probably be true for Michael Argyle as well. --Dr. John Smith 21:55, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Don't you mean Terence Argyle? ;)

I agree - we should honor canon names or canon script names in cases like this. -- Captain MKB 22:45, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

MacDougal vs. Arglye Edit

"Meet with Triumph and Disaster" refers to MacDougal as "one of the two chief engineers" and establishes that she "oversaw the operation and maintenance of the ship's systems". Though more detail is not gone into, it was our intention to tie into the similar line regarding Argyle in "Where No One", asserting that the ship had two chief engineers at launch, with Argyle supervising the propulsion systems and MacDougal everything else. -- Steve 02:32, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
