Regarding the recent changes to various documents, content in those articles should be verbatim, grammar/spelling mistakes and all, no? If typo reports result in getting them corrected in realms, then it's obviously okay to go ahead with changes in the lore article. But otherwise, it is only natural to keep the original text. --Krypton 02:34, 11 April 2008 (GMT)
- I am planning to embark on a MASSIVE typo report in-realms, which will cause the original and the Chronicles text to line up. It may take some time, but eventually everything should be fixed. I do, however, largely agree with your assessment! Being a voracious hater of typos both in realms and out, I plan to correct 'em all. — Kenner 02:36, 11 April 2008 (GMT)
- Unless you wield some awesome, hidden influence I don't know about, I predict you'll have much difficulty trying to get typo reports on things such as that passed. Remember that most documents were penned by the hands of adventurers; thus, the Divine tend to leave the spelling/grammatical/content issues in them for the adventurers to address (namely, leaders of the organisations to which the documents apply). It took how many years for the Charter of Oakstone to resolve its issue of still referring to Demeter as an existing Goddess? --Krypton 02:47, 11 April 2008 (GMT)
