:Considering Chuck's point that "Lake Scientist" is a gross misnomer for the character in ''Majora's Mask'' who is now the primary subject of the article per the reasons I mentioned, the next best thing would be to move to "Professor". {{:User:Tony/sig}} 20:46, 10 April 2016 (UTC) | :Considering Chuck's point that "Lake Scientist" is a gross misnomer for the character in ''Majora's Mask'' who is now the primary subject of the article per the reasons I mentioned, the next best thing would be to move to "Professor". {{:User:Tony/sig}} 20:46, 10 April 2016 (UTC) | ||
::The problem is that professor was never intended to be his name. They must have said ''Hakase'' in Japanese, which can be traslated to both "professor" or "scientist" I think. If I remeber correctly, he's called "Dr. Mizumi" (Lake Water Expert) in both OoT and MM manga versions. If it isn't a problem to call him "Lake Water Expert" in an official media, why should it be a problem to call him "Lake Scientist" (official eng translation and his in-game signature) on a wiki.

:::The manga isn't canon to the games. Page articles are named after in-game names. Since he is referred to as "Professor" in MM the game, the page is titled as such. {{:User:The Goron Moron/sig}} 00:59, 11 April 2016 (UTC) | |||
