I changed back the italic item at the beginning to list "commander cody" variants, instead of just saying "for other uses, see Commander Cody", because of the possible confusion of commando/commander ... but I'm not absolutely certain the other way isn't better. Thoughts? - DavidWBrooks 21:47, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Another possibility, since they aren't exactly the same, would be to drop italic item, and lead with something like "Commando Cody (not to be confused with Commander Cody) was the hero...". Pissant 21:55, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

That's a possibility, too. The name confusion has bedevilled the article from the start. The page was created last summer as a redirect; I turned it into an article, but I've never been quite certain how to handle it. Thinking about it now, though, I bet virtually everybody who comes to this article, comes here on purpose - because most modern folks (like me) think the name is CommandER. If so, they don't need to see specific links to specific other articles because they probably weren't looking for them - in which case, your earlier version (that I recently undid) is probably best. - DavidWBrooks 22:08, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
