{{UE|time=19:53, February 18, 2010 (UTC)|text=May I also bring up the grammar rule on using "a" and "an". "A" is to be used before a word with a consonant sound: such as,"I see '''a''' '''b'''ook. "An" on the other hand is to be used before words with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u, both soft and hard pronunciations). For example: "I see '''an''' '''a'''pple." You should NEVER use "a" or "an" like: "I read an book" or "I eat a apple." These are big NO NO's!!! Sorry, when it comes to grammar, sometimes I have OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). I just can't stand it.}} | {{UE|time=19:53, February 18, 2010 (UTC)|text=May I also bring up the grammar rule on using "a" and "an".

{{EO|time=19:57, February 18, 2010 (UTC)|laugh=Oh, I hear you there. But I think we're smart enough to realize that, at lest the decent contributors who are actually willing to make these changes are. Thanks for the reminder, nonetheless.}} | {{EO|time=19:57, February 18, 2010 (UTC)|laugh=Oh, I hear you there.

==Other Issues Relating to Articles== | |||
{{EO|time=10:52, February 23, 2010 (UTC)|shocked=What about articles in the page titles? I thought it was against our policy to have articles in the page titles, but experiences with an editor making redirects caused me to have second thoughts, when I saw the first sentences were formatted like this : | |||
*'''The Emperor''' rules all of China. | |||
*'''The Queen''' tried to poison Snow White. | |||
Many of the ''Birth by Sleep'' characters share this issue. Below is a list that I could find of all pages in question : | |||
*[[Emperor]] | |||
*[[Queen]] | |||
*[[Prince]] | |||
*[[Mayor]] | |||
I'm sure there are others, but I just haven't come across them yet.}} | |||
==Discussion - Pt. II== | |||
{{LevL|time=11:24, February 23, 2010 (UTC)|text=I think the character pages should have the same name as the character's name in the Journal. That means that it should be '''The''' Emperor and '''The''' Mayor. I don't know about the BBS characters, as they don't have an English Trinity Report entry yet.}} | |||
{{JFHavoc|time=16:03, February 23, 2010 (UTC)|text=I agree. If Square thought they should have an article in front of they're name we should probably put one there.}} | |||
{{EO|time=19:59, February 23, 2010 (UTC)|text=For the ''BBS'' characters, we should watch the final credits of the game. They list the characters' English names above the Japanese voice actor there. If there's a "The" in front of it, then we'll change the title to include an article.}} | |||
{{LevL|time=20:20, February 23, 2010 (UTC)|text=I watched the BBS credits and I'll make a list of the characters with an article in their name: | |||
*The Queen | |||
*The Magic Mirror | |||
*The Witch (the Queen in her old woman form) | |||
*The Prince | |||
Apparently only Dwarf Woodlands characters have articles in their names, though that is probably just a coincidence.}} | |||
{{EO|time=09:20, February 24, 2010 (UTC)|hooded=Well, I'm not sure the Witch dictates her own page, and for some reason, I'm not too keen on having a "the" before the Magic Mirror. Then again... | |||
What really need is a staff opinion on this. A staff member should be contacted if possible.}} | |||
{{TNE|time=12:45, February 24, 2010 (UTC)|text=Pretty tough cookie eh ? | |||
Okay, for subjects which have a constant article throughout (as in The Mayor of Halloween Town is always referred to as The Mayor), then we'll have to put in the article. And I believe the same applies for BBS characters, though it'd be best to wait until the English release. | |||
For articles like the Radiant Garden, I know the English version said "The Radiant Garden" for KHII, but BBS says Radiant Garden. For such anomalies, it's best not to have the article.}} |
