Title[]
Considering the DO's true name is Shai'tan, shouldn't that be the article title? I realize most of the characters use "Dark One" to describe him, but many characters use other euphemisms. Using the real name seems more "accurate," and In-Universe. Puragus Talk 02:18, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
Possibly, but it would be up to Mainphramephreak to change the article title. MegaZeroX 20:44, December 29, 2011 (UTC)
Ba'alzamon[]
I have decided to edit out 'Ba'alzamon' from the list of the Dark One's names as I believe it is ambiguous as to whether it was ever actually a name he used for himself, or whether Ishamael simply used the name himself and simply allowed people to believe that he was the DO. Feel free to disagree with me or cite a source from the books or RJ that says otherwise, as I'm not at all 100% on this, but I tend to err on the side of it simply being one of Ishamael's aliases that he allowed to spread.
