Talk:The One

I argue that The is part of The One's formal title, and should remain.

I will probably be outvoted, but I still think it sounds dippy alone. -Derik 14:17, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree. --KilMichaelMcC 14:21, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Quick, let's change it back before Steve-o gets back from botcon!

"Well, we held a vote, it's too bad you weren't here..." It's Assistant Editors Month on the Wiki!-Derik 17:28, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Mmn, yes, I'd vote for "The One" too. - Chris McFeely 20:02, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Passed unanimously! --Suki Brits 22:55, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

DAMMIT!!!!!! --Steve-o 05:06, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I vote for "The One" also. But, how about some content first? --Crockalley 23:33, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm not really sure it's a vote-on thing. It's like voting on how to spell actual words. Proper protocol calls for "One." It sounds dippy, but that's just how it's done. --ItsWalky 00:09, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

But is "that's just how it's done" really a good enough reason when 1) it DOES sound dippy (for The Fallen too) and 2) it makes it a bit Harder for folks to find things, as people doing an info search will almost certainly search "The One" not just the word "one". I mean, is there a real reason for doing it that way other than made up "protocal" because if not I'd say it's just buracratic silliness to stick to a rule that doesn't help and actually confuses matters a little. I add my vote for "Names that are actually titles" to include the "The". ZacWilliam 00:28, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

You are aware of the existence of redirects, yes? Interrobang 00:50, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm inclined to agree with most of the people posting here. The article really should be "The One," as "The" is part of its name. Just like "The Fallen." I mean, can you conceive of any possible situation in which it would be called "One" instead of "The One"? - Dark T Zeratul 01:21, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

"Hello, One." "You're never going to get away with this, One!" Unless you say stuff like "I'll get you ice cream, the boy." or "Damn you, the Joker." Interrobang 01:29, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, in *adressing a character with a title-name personally* you might drop "The" as in calling out to The Pope, by saying "Heya, Pope! Overhere!" But when talking about such a character you would pretty much always use "The" as in "Boy The Fallen sure knows how to warm up a room." and given that these entries are not personal adresses to the characters but us talking about them for other people, using "The" for title-names is just much more natural. Again, any actual reason not to? ZacWilliam 02:38, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
