On this wiki, should the spelling be "armor" or "armour"? I ask because there's a category called Cosmic Era mobile armors, and another called Universal Century mobile armours.
There are a few articles that are categorized to "Universal Century mobile armors", which I'm going to move over to the "mobile armours" category, just so everything's in a category.
I think making a consistent decision about which spelling is correct here will help people to put things in the right categories. What do you guys think? -- Danny (talk) 11:47, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
- I guess we should get readers to vote which they prefer, American English or British English, to be used on the wiki. - ValiantHeart (talk) 04:54, April 19 2024
- I think it should be Japanese English. The Japanese spell it "Mobile Armor" afaik. -PanSola 18:10, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reminder PanSola. Yes, it should be in Japanese English.
- "Mobile Armor" is a term used, not some words used in a sentence. Since it's officially spelled "Mobile Armor" then we should use "Mobile Armor" instead of "Mobile Armour". Oh, btw ValiantHeart, your sig is messed up. Your times are not substed so it displays the current time instead of the time you posted. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk|local) Oct 19, 2007 @ 02:57 (UTC)
- Dantman, how do I fix the time for my sig? - ValiantHeart (talk) 04:54, April 19 2024
- One thing I'm not sure of though, is whether it's title case "Mobile Armor" as if it's a proper noun, or if the right case should be "mobile armor" (and correspondingly, "Mobile Suit" or "mobile suit"). I would argue that "normal suit" is probably not in title case, and therefore its contrast, "mobile suit" would also not be title case, and from there infer that "mobile armor" would not be in title case. But that only applies for timelines where the term "normal suit" exists... -PanSola 08:30, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- It should be in lower case. - ValiantHeart (talk) 04:54, April 19 2024
