• I think that the page is good but a bit biased because the spelling of Alastair is spelt Alastair when a more common version is Alistair. Mouseinthehouse 12:01, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

• The page does mention all variations of the name. Also this page has been vandalised but I have restored it to a previous version. Ajn91 12:08, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Biased

• I still think that the title of the page should be a more common version of the name. Mouseinthehouse 11:33, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

• Why does this contain bias? Please provide specific examples from the article. Also, please can Mouseinthehouse cite their source from where they get the information that Alistair is a more common spelling of the name than Alastair? What is a more common version of the name. I repeat that many versions of the name are listed in the article. Ajn91 19:57, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Number of variations

• The article currently says that there are 27 variations, but more are being added. Should the number be updated to the number in the list, re-researched (change reference) or simply removed? Comments... Ajn91 12:03, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
