::Well, character names are proper nouns anyway (and enemies are usually capitalized as well, even in the middle of sentences), and items...well, I guess they could possibly go either way, but I think they'd most likely remain lowercase in that case. Let's see if we can get some other opinions though... {{User:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} | ::Well, character names are proper nouns anyway (and enemies are usually capitalized as well, even in the middle of sentences), and items...well, I guess they could possibly go either way, but I think they'd most likely remain lowercase in that case.

:::Hmmmm...I'm a bit mixed. I understand that it would depend on the situation, but I'm most concerned about item names. I don't know if we should capitalize the items completely, like Red Feathers, because some of--many of them--are also common words, and some people might get confused. However, some of them, like the one mentioned above, aren't that common in articles, and we're generally talking about them in most cases. There's also the fact that the game itself might treat the items as all capitalized, which is what I know some games do. I think it would make the most sense, though, if the item's got a word that isn't real--Hookshots, for example, in the Zelda series, aren't real...though I think I've seen most people just uncapitalize them. Shoot, come to think of it, I use the names of different pokémon when speaking about them without using proper nouns that way...and I also use their general categorial name like that, as you saw above...damn. So, uh, I guess...just do what seems right to you, that's what I'd say. See ya!! [[User:FerreTrip|FerreTrip]] 21:57, 15 May 2008 (UTC) | |||
