We need consistency. Half of the God entries list Their allies with Their respective titles, while half don't. (Same for enemies when it applies. Which brings up another note: should "enemies" (or allies) include non-Gods (Slith, for example)?) --[[User:Krypton|Krypton]] 20:38, 25 September 2007 (GMT) | We need consistency.

I'd say go without titles. And I vote yes towards non-gods too. --[[User:Corvax|Corvax]] 02:20, 26 September 2007 (GMT) | |||

The '''Divine''' voice of Coeus echoes in your head, "Greetings, Chronicler. You had a question for me regarding Divine capitalisation?"<br/> | |||
Me: Yes, I did.<br/> | |||
Coeus: I will endeavour to assist you. I work best with examples, if you could provide one.<br/> | |||
Me: "Divine" as an adjective meaning "of the Gods", mostly. For instance, "Divine symbols" or "Divine punishment".<br/> | |||
Me: Does that warrant capitalisation? Anytime "Divine" is used that isn't something along the lines of "This pie tastes absolutely divine." Hehe.<br/> | |||
Coeus: Yes, Divine in these instances should be capitalised. The word Divine would generally be capitalised.<br/> | |||
Coeus: Indeed, as you say - where divine is used as an adjective to refer to something other than an immortal it would not be capitalised.<br/> | |||
Coeus: Also, for reference sake, Celani and Demigods do not capitalise their pronouns, this is a right reserved only for the Gods, ergo I am simply you, not You.<br/> | |||
''Thank you for the enlightenment, Lord Coeus.'' --[[User:Krypton|Krypton]] 21:02, 13 January 2008 (GMT) | |||
