Fun Fact

Sarah just canonized Jonas's for fans of the General Style Guide! (Check her latest MySpace blog . . . ) :P --Pheon 16:03, 25 July 2007 (CDT)

It's been canon since at least Gemma, Who Are You? :) --JayHenry 16:37, 25 July 2007 (CDT)
Well, yeah, but that was spoken -- now its undeniably spelled out for us!--Pheon 16:44, 25 July 2007 (CDT)

Capitalization issues

I'd just like to confirm the capitalization for some things. I believes the standards are LG15, lonelygirl15, and KateModern. The one I've probably seen different the most is lonelygirl15, which often seems to be capitalized. Do others think this capitalization looks good or would something else be preferred?--Jonpro 14:02, 6 October 2007 (CDT)

Tense/Pronouns/Etc.

So I am having a totally great time editing this beast! What a fun thing. I've noticed some things that need resolution, though:

  • When adding to the notes sections, the bullet should have a space after it. * This, instead of *This
  • Things should not be written in first-person. "The mark could be seen on Jonas's arm" not "We could see the mark on Jonas's arm." "Fans", "viewers", or "it was revealed" are great terms.
  • When discussing literature, items are most often written in the present tense. "In video blah-blah, Bree talks to Daniel about." However, since this is literature but with a definite timeline, happening in real-time, I think it makes more sense to use the past tense. "In video blah-blah, Bree talked to Daniel about." This gives the impression that these are things that happened in the past and are affecting the current story-line.
  • When linking to another wiki-page, link as few words as possible. For example, "Somewhere" over the rainbow; not "Somewhere over the rainbow".

There are some other things, but I can't remember what. Anyway, this is how I am editing from this point forward. :-) Let me know if anyone has a different idea. Grace2 89 21:10, 26 November 2007 (CST)
