[edit] Ironside's name

I've corrected Ironside's name; the show, which I watched religiously in syndication, made a point of calling him "Robert T." Trekphiler 03:36, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] UK name

Anyone know the rationale behind the BBC renaming it A Man Called Ironside? Was there some commercial product called Ironside, as per the Top Cat thing? (though not cat food, presumably). MFlet1 11:11, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Possibly because the name 'Ironside' has earlier and perhaps better known meanings in the UK. Ian Dunster (talk) 15:44, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

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.

The result of the proposal was no consensus to move the page, per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 03:25, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Ironside (TV series) → Ironside and Ironside → Ironside (disambiguation) — "Ironside" is synonymous with the television series and character. The other articles named Ironside are a book that hasn't even been published yet, and a cavalry trooper from the 17th century. Ironside is also a surname, but I believe most Wikipedia users looking for one of those would most likely search using the full name rather than just the surname. This proposal isn't based on any preference I have for the series, just common sense of what most people will be expecting to see when they search for "Ironside".

  1. Oppose. Nothing is broken, so no need for a change. Besides, when I see Ironside, I think of Old Ironsides and not the TV series. Too many uses to be sure what the primary use is, so not changing is the best choice. Vegaswikian 21:38, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
  2. Oppose i've neer heard of the TV show but school kids grow up hearing up about King Arthur's Sir Ironsides and Cromwell's calvary troopers. There is no way that the TV show is the primary topic. 205.157.110.11 23:11, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ironside Headquarters

Help me: I would like to know where the building is that was used as the headquarters of Ironside in the TV series. Geffoire (talk) 18:09, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

  • In San Francisco, the old 'Hall of Justice' was at Portsmouth Square on Kearny Street between Washington and Clay Street.

The famous image of fan-shaped curved windows, from the floor, in Ironside are images of the Hall. Today, the square is considered a part of Chinatown, earning it a nickname "Heart of Chinatown." Gloubik (talk) 10:29, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
