Cyberlink420 (talk | contribs) m Cyberlink420 moved page Talk:Transformers: Worst Bot Ever - Meet Ballpoint! to Talk:Meet Ballpoint!: Honestly, this move is fully uncontroversial. I don't think it needs to go through the usual processes. |

I '''AGREE''' that writing out the emphasis words in '''ALL CAPS BOLD''' looks and reads really odd, but that is how it’s written in the book. Most dialogue is written in lowercase, but the EMPHASIS WORDS are written in ALL CAPS. I know that for text that’s written in a different color, <font color="#FF0000">we replicate it,</font> so I wanted to stay true to the exact way this is written, too. I INITIALLY wrote the quotes WITHOUT THE BOLD for readability’s sake, since '''ALL the comic lettering LOOKS BOLD ANYWAY.''' But should we just forgo that accuracy and just stick with '''regular bolding''' like the article '''currently is'''?

How should we write out the quotes?
[edit]I AGREE that writing out the emphasis words in ALL CAPS BOLD looks and reads really odd, but that is how it’s written in the book. Most dialogue is written in lowercase, but the EMPHASIS WORDS are written in ALL CAPS. I know that for text that’s written in a different color, we replicate it, so I wanted to stay true to the exact way this is written, too. I INITIALLY wrote the quotes WITHOUT THE BOLD for readability’s sake, since ALL the comic lettering LOOKS BOLD ANYWAY. But should we just forgo that accuracy and just stick with regular bolding like the article currently is? Cylasbreakdown (talk) 17:25, 10 July 2025 (EDT)
