Non-American Spelling[edit]

In your spelling section you have listed a few words as spelled incorrectly, such as armour. This is not the case, in Australia and I believe in most of the non-American word, words such as colour, armour, favour, honour etc. are spelled with the "our" instead of "or". There are many examples of spellings which Americans use which are not consistent with other countries, however this does not mean armour is incorrect. Dancing Gnome 13:05, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

True, I haven't actually been changing the American spellings as I am from England and personally either way works for me. However I am pretty sure we should be following the in game spellings which are all Americanised. --LemmingUser Lemming64 sigicon.png 20:43, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Archived pages[edit]

I used to check the misspellings on guildwiki once in a while before and lately i have seen more of them on this wiki as well. Now I found this project and will go check it again every once in a whole. My question is if we should change the misspellings on archived pages as well? This will make them go away from the list so it is easier to see if something needs to change or not. - Damadmoo 12:52, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I generally don't bother with pages in talk sections, or archived pages in the guilds wars wiki section as they are just discussions. But this is in no way official, and there is no status quo on it, so you are pretty much free to do so :) --LemmingUser Lemming64 sigicon.png 20:48, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
The thing is that it will be a one time thing to change. Talk pages aren't checked when clicking on the links on your page. Archives are and there is no way to distinct from them. If they will be changed once they won't show up anymore and then it will be easier to see if there are misspellings in place or not. It will take a little bit more time the first time things get checked but will save a lot of time later on. - Damadmoo 12:22, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
