Hi, I saw you put the complete [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion page]] to past tense. We discussed the use of present / past tense some time ago in [http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/36598-character-pages/page__p__1798135#entry1798135 this] and [http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/45165-grammar/ this] thread. The outcome was that the time before the beginning of the books should be in past tense and the events in the books in the present tense. It is not a perfect solution and there are pro and contras so if you have an opinion feel free to discuss it. Regards,[[User:Scafloc|Scafloc]] 17:18, 10 August 2011 (CDT)

Past and present tense

Hi, I saw you put the complete Tyrion page to past tense. We discussed the use of present / past tense some time ago in this and this thread. The outcome was that the time before the beginning of the books should be in past tense and the events in the books in the present tense. It is not a perfect solution and there are pro and contras so if you have an opinion feel free to discuss it. Regards,Scafloc 17:18, 10 August 2011 (CDT)

Good to know. I can change it all to present. I just wanted it to be uniform. Some was present, some was past so I wasn't sure. Thanks for the tip, kissedbyfire 18:53, 10 August 2011 (CDT)

Relationships

Hi Ryleegregory. We were still (but not very active) working on the Tyrion page. As stated in the forum page the idea was to add the relationship paragraphs to get a better page. So it is more or less a try-out. While I agree that in the current state the content of those paragraphs is a repetition of the existing data I still want to give it a try if it can be improved. So how about two weeks more to try it out?

Also if we conclude that it is not going to work I would like to add that info on the forum page. Cheers,Scafloc 05:04, 16 August 2011 (CDT)

Edit: Sorry to bother you again but could you add your thoughts to the forum please? I'd like to use the forum as place where the policies are discussed and decided. I could add you opinion but I think it is better that you do it. That way it is clear that the policies are made by discussion of multiple users (and not my or anybody else's private opinion). I'll ask Pale Griffin as well. Scafloc 06:10, 16 August 2011 (CDT)

I will make sure to do that. I checked the forum before, but was mainly looking for something specific to Tyrion so I didn't look under the POV Characters thread. Thanks for your patience, kissed.by.fire 22:34, 16 August 2011 (CDT)
