Talk:Norma Cevna

I am now rereading the Butlerian Jihad. In this book, Norma's last name is "Cenva." In the wiki, it is "Cevna." I think this is an error.Donfbreed 06:27, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Please look at Norma Cenva/XD MoffRebusMy Talk 08:54, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

Spelling variants
I understand why there are articles entitled both "Norma Cevna" and "Norma Cenva". There is an article in the "Dune Encyclopedia" entitled "Cevna, Norma". The sawme spellinsg appears ins the "Venport, Aurelius" article, which also refers to Norma as Venport's "mistress". The "Legends of Dune prequels use the spelling "Cenva." I'm not sure how to resolve this discrepancy, but I suspect the prequels are canonical and the encyclopedia is not.Donfbreed 03:42, April 27, 2010 (UTC).
 * There is no reason or point to resolve this discrepancy since the two are not related :) MoffRebusMy Talk 08:03, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

I'm beginning to understand that XD is a separate wiki from this one. I'm not sure which one I should be in.Donfbreed 03:45, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Exactly. The wiki is actually three wikis. Please have a look here. I guess you'd prefer the wiki where Norma Cenva/XD belongs. MoffRebusMy Talk 08:03, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

Lol - can't believe I never spotted that :P I've added a Behind the Scenes sections.

It's not a question for canon vs. non-canon it's a question of which canon - there are things in Expanded Dune that simply can't be explained as "canon" in any meaningful / factual / wiki-able way (As no doubt you will glean from reading the Legends books. (Hang on... re-reading? God god man! Glutton for punishment?! Do yourself a favour and re-read God Emperor instead! :) )
