Period, comma
Never drop one period from an acronym.--Gothemasticator 22:35, June 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * The acronym contains a final period. If you cannot find a source for a reason to change that, and show that it is common and acceptable practice, you shouldn't change it. The burden of proof is on you, not me.--Gothemasticator 05:00, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Why are you being so hostile? Nothing was raised about other grammatical errors. Yet you bring them up as a form of defence for your actions on this issue. I would like to know your reasoning behind pages that contain "you" and how they affect whether an acronym should drop the period when followed by a comma. Because the way you are currently constructing your argument, it sounds like you are saying that because there are so many grammatical errors at present, that everyone here is dumb and knows nothing about grammar. Therefore you cant be challenged by others because of this perceived fact. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 19:32, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * P.S. I did Google it and every English forum plus all but 1 style guide I came across, stated that a period followed by a comma is correct. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 19:34, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ditto what GhostAvatar said. In addition, The Vault has made a stylistic choice in allowing 2nd person language to describe the actions of the player character. It is a way of avoiding the endless complications of trying to distinguish the actions of the player from those of the player character. We're not trying to rival wikipedia in high style-mindedness. We're a wiki about a series of video games. Our editors are largely high-school students (and students that spend a lot of time playing video games instead of studying). And, I'd like to say I'm pretty proud of what we do achieve here. There's a hectically paced influx of new material and new users, a fairly small corps of dedicated and skilled editors, and a wealth of good information about the games that is not rivaled elsewhere.--Gothemasticator 20:36, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
