	:I think what we did in these cases (non-phrased denizens) was to bold solely the article title (as is the standard format for all wiki articles). The toymaker and florist were not proper nouns or specific enough, so included bolding of further IH attributes to make them more signature/identifiable.

	::I think some names are differentially deserving of bolding "the", "a", or "an" when they are the first word in a full title. I think this is a possible compromise: those words should be bolded only if it is possible for them to be translocated in any way such that they would appear in the middle of a title and end up being bold by default. For instance, it would be proper to bold "'''the artist, Vinci'''" fully because that could easily be re-said as "'''Vinci, the artist'''". On the other hand, things such as "the '''beast in the crypt'''", "the '''Guardian of Nature'''", and "an '''elderly florist'''" should not have those words bolded because there is no way to restructure the title such that those words appear in the middle. --[[User:Krypton\|Krypton]] 22:52, 25 January 2008 (GMT)		::I think some names are differentially deserving of bolding "the", "a", or "an" when they are the first word in a full title.
