GuildWiki talk:Misspellings

Skuld, check this shazaam out: User_questions/Archive_1. Ok I'll admit, a lot of the end bit is me getting overly excited and scaring everybody off but before I did that, it sounded like using either Commonwealth English or American English is fine as long as it's standarised throughout the article (PanSola, Rainith and myself seemed to agree on this). I've had that tip for ages on my user page (not that things are on my user page are policy, I'm um just saying!). As a Brit, to write armour on Misspellings, shame Skuld, shame! :P --Xasxas256 07:47, 19 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Oh right :p I have no shame! *stamps on kittens* &mdash; Skuld  08:25, 19 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Don't make me start clubbing baby seals to get my point accross! Actually isn't Japan getting closer to ending the ban on commerical waling a disaster? Hmmm this probably isn't the right place to discuss this is it? No seriously can we set up an official policy that: Commonwealth English or American English is fine as long as it's standarised throughout the article but in game terms should have the same spelling as the game (which is generally American English). --Xasxas256 08:41, 19 June 2006 (CDT)

You're welcome. And I corrected the spellings on some of the words I spotted along the way, too. --BarGamer 19:37, 19 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Well, looks like that's all of them. Added a note in the 5 "Armour" pages so that people don't go and break the images, trying to correct them. --BarGamer 19:11, 20 June 2006 (CDT)

Capitalizing profession names...
I've read about many things in the GuildWiki about professions, and see profession names sometimes capitalized and othertimes not. Which way is more formal when editing? Sorry for my newbie question. :) Just curious. --Talonz 00:43, 21 June 2006 (CDT)
 * They should be lower case &mdash; Skuld  09:17, 7 July 2006 (CDT)
 * I disagree, most in-game text has them capitalized. Especially in quest dialogues.  --Rainith 11:12, 7 July 2006 (CDT)

Defense vs Defence
I've always used the later and dictionaries seem to list it as ok, but the game (Whirling Defense at least) uses the former. Should we leave it as either goes like armo(u)r or go with the skill? &mdash; Skuld  13:48, 22 July 2006 (CDT)

 * FWIW - General American spelling is Defense. Defence is what is around de house.  --Rainith 01:54, 30 July 2006 (CDT)

Judgement/Judgment
I don't agree with this inclusion. Judgement is not spelt wrongly; it is just a variant. Also, whether or not armor/armour and the like is misspelt is subjective.
