We should probably refrain from referring to ourselves in the singular when writing articles. Thanks. --FFN 14:20, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Getting Tense

Also, the Wiki standard is that fiction summaries on character pages are in past tense (a review of the character's whole life, which has already occurred from the character's POV), while summaries on individual episode or comic issue pages are in present tense (always occurring in the present each time you watch or read).--Apcog 04:09, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Generation 1

Excuse me, but those characters appear in several series continuities so I thought it would be helpful to clearly show what continuities those sections are from. Also, Jackpot requested that we use 'Dreamwave Generation 1 comics continuity' due to the fact we also use the generic 'Dreamwave comics continuity' for Armada and Energon characters. I'm all for making it easier for the average visitor to figure things out, and not remove things because 'its obvious' or 'we all already know that' or 'there's a single line of text indicating this all the way on the top of the page'. --FFN 06:51, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I remember Jackpot's suggestion. I thought it was wrong then, and I said so. Walky agreed with me, so the matter is hardly settled in favor of adding the G1s everywhere. Having "Generation 1 continuity family" in the title bars at the top of the page makes it clear what the following title bars are referring to, just like having Arcee (G1) at the top of the page makes it clear which version of Arcee we're talking about for the rest of the article. The average visitor is not an idiot, and should be able to understand this through common sense. The only place where G1 labels should be necessary to avoid confusion are where a character crosses continuity families, such as Unicron's heralds in Armada's Worlds Collide. --Xaaron 14:49, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Classics/G1 requests?

Psst. Any chance of you being able to fill in the Classics part of G1 Cliffjumper's page at some point? His TFCC section is pretty complete other than that. :>
Also, my offer to reformat for you any "normal language" writeup you do for Rewind's page remains open. --Jeysie 22:47, 13 April 2010 (EDT)
