Shouldn't this category's name be "Transmetal 2s"? JW 01:46, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

I hadn't noticed... but yeah. --M Sipher 01:52, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
User:DiagnosticDrone says to leave a note for User:Steve-o requesting a mass-edit change. I'll do it. -Derik 01:58, 12 January 2008 (UTC) I'll do it.
The packaging itself says "Transmetals 2". —Interrobang 02:01, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Bother. Awfully non-instinctive isn't it? Articles must reflect proper notation, but do we want to for cat's? -Derik 02:13, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
"The packaging itself says 'Transmetals 2'. " I'll grit my teeth and bear it, then. JW 02:49, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
"Transmetals 2" is also correct English. --ItsWalky 03:31, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Cite? JW 04:02, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
I dunno about a citation, but I would assume Transmetals 2 to be proper English, along the lines of "courts martial," "mothers-in-law," "Attorneys General" and so forth. --KilMichaelMcC 04:14, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
As noted above, "Transmetals 2" would be the appropriate English way of writing it, even in the absence of any packaging copy that gives us a "canonical" plural form. So, yeah, no change. --Steve-o 04:49, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
