Add more! --Fyren 15:24, 27 September 2006 (CDT)


 * I really don't like the italics and quotes around the questions, is anyone opposed to me removing them?  &lt;LordBiro&gt;/&lt;Talk&gt; 16:43, 27 September 2006 (CDT)


 * No problem - I added them, but have no objection to their being removed. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:47, 27 September 2006 (CDT)

"The GuildWiki" vs. "GuildWiki"
I'm a little upset that Skuld edited my usage of "the GuildWiki" and stated that it was wrong. I've been calling the GuildWiki "the GuildWiki" since its inception, and I've seen other editors use the same grammatical construct. We certainly aren't "the Guild Wars wiki." &mdash;Tanaric 13:23, 2 October 2006 (CDT)
 * I prefer GuildWiki. --Fyren 13:45, 2 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Same here, although I have seen both used interchangeably. Technically we're not "The" GuildWiki, as there's now guildwiki.de, guildwiki.fr, etc. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 13:49, 2 October 2006 (CDT)
 * "The" doesn't imply that there is only one; it implies a specific one. More to the point, it's grammatically incorrect to say "I read book" or "I read wiki." Were there only one GuildWiki, you could make an argument that GuildWiki was our name... but there isn't. It's what we are. Just like the Wikipedias are referred to as objects, I believe we are too. I've got no problem with people who choose to use "GuildWiki" without the article, but, since I wrote the vast majority of policy on the GuildWiki, it stands to reason that using "the GuildWiki" in policy articles is standard, and I'd like to put it back in that form. :) &mdash;Tanaric 13:56, 2 October 2006 (CDT)
 * That's a really poor argument. You wrote them that way so that's the way it should be.  You know better than that, heh.  --Fyren 14:01, 2 October 2006 (CDT)
