Alternate Jo?

Didn't an alternate universe version of Jo appear in the New Adventures book Blood Heat? If so, should that appearence not also be added to this page? Alan-WK 22:11, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In-universe

This article is mostly "in-universe" - where is the information about how and why the character was created and cast? What were viewers' and critics' reactions? There's nothing about that side of things. Totnesmartin 22:34, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How much more work needs to be done to justify removing that tag (ie. does anyone have further ideas on what ought to be done)? --Mark H Wilkinson ^{(t, c)} 12:07, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and removed the tag - excellent work on the real-world info; we could use that in a lot of other articles as well. --Brian Olsen 18:00, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I had thought of looking at some of the other supporting characters (there doesn't appear to be much RW stuff on the Brig, despite being a significant part of the show's history). The only problem is that my "library" isn't quite in good order, with much of it stored in boxes; I don't really trust using too many online sources. --Mark H Wilkinson ^{(t, c)} 18:17, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't got much in the way of real world sources either, unfortunately, and I agree the reference books are generally better than web sites. Good work with this article nevertheless. --Brian Olsen 18:37, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Real world stuff on the Brig? what about Nicholas Courtney's autobiography? probably worth hunting down, as is Jon Pertwee's if you can find it. Totnesmartin 20:05, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Jo Jones?

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

No consensus to move. Vegaswikian (talk) 05:38, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jo Grant → Jo Jones — With SJA showing that she uses her married name, perhaps move to Jo Jones? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.20.248.35 (talk) 09:31, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but she was called Jo Grant in her many appearances on the original Doctor Who, and even in the Sarah Jane Adventures, three characters (Sarah Jane , the Doctor and Clyde) refer to her by the Grant surname. Grant is the more common name for the character, even among those only familiar with the recent guest appearance on SJA. Also, there was a well-known real world Jo Jones. Although perhaps a "For the fictional character from Doctor Who / The Sarah Jane Adventures, see Jo Grant" tag should be placed at the top of the jazz musician Jo Jones' entry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.245.199.127 (talk) 10:52, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No. A similair discussion happened with Martha Jones when she got married; it is not a change that warrant a page move. We use the most common name for fictional characters, and in this case that is Jo Grant. — Edokter • Talk • 12:12, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose WP:COMMONNAME this is a fictional character, it should use the most recognizable name. 76.66.203.138 (talk) 04:58, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose As said before, WP:COMMONNAME. Most know her as Jo Grant. Harry Blue5 (talk) 17:50, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
