User talk:Gboyers/archive2: Difference between revisions

:I'm British, so I always write with British spellings. I appreciate the reverse is true for most of the rest of the world. Where something is the actual name/title of something, (EG a mission called "The Color Of Money"), then you must use the actual spelling verbatim, even if that is wrong in both British/American English. It doesn't particularly matter which spelling you use, but where titles involve a word that is different in British/American (eg [[Armor]]), then at least have a redirect from the alternative spelling ([[Armour]]). I suppose the best answer I can offer is consistency - if you write a page in American English, it should stay in American English; if you're editing a page written in British English, keep it in that.

:Thanks for tackling those pages - we definitely require massive expansion in the area of missions, and GTASA Missions are currently the most important/relevant ones. Glad to see you're hanging onto our naming structure, I appreciate the UESP one will be quite different. I suppose ours is most similar to Wikipedia, where we just have titles, and only use other namespaces for special types of page (Category, Image, Template, Policy, Help, System etc). One thing is that [[Big Smoke]] should stay the title as the character, because that is what 99% of visitors to that page will want, but with a "see also" line at the top (indented italics) for [[Big Smoke (Mission)]]. I think [[In The Beginning...]] is the only major title clash we'll have with missions - apart from [[Side Missions]] (side quests?) like [[Vigilante]], [[Paramedic]] etc. Keep up the good work - [http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/User:Gboyers Gboyers] ([http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Gboyers ?]) 12:45, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
