Talk:Shifty Lem

Shifty Lem and Mr Lem
Over the short history of this article, several anons have attempted to add the following Trivia item, "This NPC is named after Guild Wars player "Mr Lem", a famous trader," however no evidence for this has been presented. (There is some evidence that Shifty Lem has an older history.) To date, the de facto consensus of contributors has been that the note should be present in the article. Does anyone disagree? (And, if so, can you present evidence, even anecdotal, that (a) Mr Lem was famous or infamous and that (b) he was known to someone at ANet?)

Shifty might — or might not — have been named after Mr Lem, but I don't think we should put in the article without some type of verification.

See also: Talk at Guild Wiki, Shifty Lem's Blog (no mention of GW). Also, User:Emily Diehl's archives don't show any confirmation of this purported origin.
