Quotation Marks
Currently the name "Kyber" appears with quotation marks, personally I don't agree with this usage and think they (the quotation marks) should be removed from the name, discuss. E-rock 12:20, 5 June 2008 (PDT)
- What if you impersonally disagreed? Basically the rationale behind using them was that Kyber is a pseudonym. I did it with Sexy as well. I don't have a strong point of view either way. I can see that with Sexy we may need to fire up the disambiguation pages. Alex 13:36, 5 June 2008 (PDT)
- Yes, but then again aren't Spook, E-Rock, Percival Cornelius, Brassknuckle, GarySe7en etc., etc. pseudonyms also.. I think that the user name should line up with the name being used on any articles/entries. Just a little consistency that's all... E-rock 14:01, 5 June 2008 (PDT)
- All of those entries were created by people other than AT, after AT had opened the wiki up. I think it's fine to go without quotation marks.
- There is another issue which will eventually come up - user pages vs. articles. Take my page for example. One day, when I'm rich and famous, people might want a article about Alex Thompson which is informative and accurate, and not a bunch of inside jokes - pretty close to what exists now only more critical. On the other hand, as a wiki editor, I ought to be able to have a page on the wiki that is my landing page and has a bunch of stuff I like - more like your page. The wiki tradition is to put the former as an article in the main namespace, and the latter on my user page. Eventually we will need to start divorcing the user page from the article. I would even argue that we should do it for your page = given the number of things you're organizing it would be good to have a more traditional page about you, but still I want the kind of page you have now to be somewhere. Is this making sense? Alex 14:12, 5 June 2008 (PDT)
- Yes, senses were made, expecially in the brainspaces, However it seems to me that having two entries about the same "person" could become confusing and even contradictory. E-rock 14:21, 5 June 2008 (PDT)
- Well, a user page isn't really an article; it's more like a funzone. It's like a wiki-MySpace page. Go to wikipedia and check out some user pages there. Alex 14:24, 5 June 2008 (PDT)
