Well, shit, I got the wrong Alexios Komnenos. TR 20:28, April 24, 2012 (UTC)

It doesn't help that the Byzantines generally and the Komnenoi in particular liked to recycle names like soda cans--both the "right" Isaac Komnemnos and the "first wrong one" I put hope were married to women named Irene. TR 15:28, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

Q about Riverworld nations[]

Should historical figures appearing in "Two Thieves" be classed as "historical figures with alternate nationalities"?JonathanMarkoff (talk) 22:24, November 16, 2016 (UTC)

I would argue no. The purpose of the alternate nationalities is for the Stalinists of JS and the Confederates of 191 and GoTS, etc., who received a new country as a consequence of the POD. Riverworld did not retroactively rewrite nationalities in that way. TR (talk) 22:34, November 16, 2016 (UTC)
