Hey Jimmy, I see you made an edit to Tim Drake's Earth-16 page and I want to discuss something with you as I work on the page.

We've been keeping an extra eye on the Earth-16 pages to keep them on a certain level of workmanship where they're at least skeleton pages that users can then further edit. So trust me when I say that I'm not the only one doing our best to keep them up to date and in order.

As such I want to bring to your attention our unofficial policy on nicknames, alias and the like. At the moment we're having an open discussion about names for characters like Superboy, one I think you'd be interested. In Tim Drake's case, we all know his name is Tim Drake but of course his full name is Timothy; Tim is just a nickname. Calling Richard Dick isn't an alias it's a nickname. As such nicknames belong in the trivia section or in Tim and Dick's case it belongs at the top of the page in the real name field since they go by them so frequently.

I'm going to fix up Tim's page once again but I want you to understand that in case this situation arise again if you'd like to debate how these nicknames are handled feel free in a talk page, forum post or simply in the Database Chat where our admins frequent.

Also, you didn't bother to link the name either, it looks shoddy.
