Achievement boosting
Please review our policies concerning achievement boosting and the proper use of capitalization in articles. The way you are editing articles is considered achievement boosting. Simply make all of your edits at one time vs. in several differant edits. Several repeat edits can be viewed as achievement boosting and it is a blockable offense. Please take care in your edits. In the articles, the "pre" in pre-War should remain lower case while the "W" is capitalized. Thanks.--Kingclyde 09:19, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

Capitalization policies
Please review the policies above. I am asking you to stop editing and read the policy or you will be blocked for a day. I cannot continue to undo your edits.--Kingclyde 09:25, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

I did not see your previous message until after my last edit, and I was not aware of the capitalization policies you have. I'll keep it in mind in the future. I also was not aware that multiple edits was "achievement boosting." I just tend to have a habit of always thinking of something else to add after I already submit something (in general, not just on a wiki). I'll remember your policy on that, too. Thank you for the notifications. If I may ask, though, why are your policies on capitalization as they are? What I mean is, why not strive to have the item names reflect the in-game capitalization, (such as Pre-War vs. pre-War)? Lancet Jades 09:30, August 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * The Vault:Anti-capitalization project is the project but it is complete. It contains the basic rules on it as well as here under naming. Any other questions just feel free to ask me. Thanks!--Kingclyde 09:36, August 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the link, although my question was more asking why the project itself was decided in. It just seems somewhat counter-intuitive to make such an effort to alter capitalization from what it was in-game. Not that I'd try to undo it, of course (well... at least intentionally!), I'm just curious why those involved thought it a good idea.Lancet Jades 09:49, August 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * It was mainly made a policy to help keep proper grammar on the wiki standardized. In-game capitalization of a lot of the items in grammatically incorrect. Standardization is the main reason for the policy.--Kingclyde 09:52, August 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, I can't say I quite agree with that (honestly, my own opinion on that subject is the exact opposite), but if that's what has been decided, I'll make sure I try and abide by it as best as I can. Thank you for explaining it.--Lancet Jades 09:57, August 17, 2011 (UTC)
