Hi Thadius856, welcome aboard! I've noticed you've made quite a few fixes today. Many of those changes were certainly needed, but on some it gave me pause to consider that UO syntax and colloquialisms don't always match up to standard English grammar rules. Some of this is simply the nature of MMO's and some even UO-specific. I'm relatively new here (in the grand scheme of things) and there isn't a Style Guide(something I've mentioned to others before), so perhaps JC, Cogniac, et. al could clarify this a bit so we could all adopt a comprehensive policy and common understanding. --[[User:Tancred RedStar|Tancred RedStar]] 22:54, 10 September 2008 (PDT) | Hi Thadius856, welcome aboard!

Capitalization - When (UO and RL)Worlds Collide
Hi Thadius856, welcome aboard! I've noticed you've made quite a few fixes today. Many of those changes were certainly needed, but on some it gave me pause to consider that UO syntax and colloquialisms don't always match up to standard English grammar rules. Some of this is simply the nature of MMO's and some even UO-specific. I'm relatively new here (in the grand scheme of things) and there isn't a Style Guide(something I've mentioned to others before), so perhaps JC, Cogniac, et. al could clarify this a bit so we could all adopt a comprehensive policy and common understanding. --Tancred RedStar 22:54, 10 September 2008 (PDT)
The way I see it, the goal is to use the same spelling/syntax as is used in game. For example, refer to the Boomstick article - Notice the capitilisation used in the page text matches that used in the image from the game.
If there is an error in the game, it should be mirrored in the wiki until such time as it's fixed in UO. For example, the Resillient Bracer exists as an article, and the "correct" version (Resilient Bracer) exists as a redirect.
