I don't know if it really matters, but I recently became aware of a few differences between American and English grammar. For example, I was looking at [http://sonichu.com/w/index.php?title=Sonic_the_Hedgehog&action=historysubmit&diff=137464&oldid=136873 this edit] and noticed that the comma was placed inside the quotation mark ("Conventional" grammar, a.k.a. American), whereas here in England it would only be put in the quote if it was part of the source material being quoted ("Logical" grammar). Again, it's a pretty minor thing, but I guess it would be useful to know. [[User:Freecell|Freecell]] [[User_talk:Freecell|(t]]/[[Special:Contributions/Freecell|c)]] 05:12, 22 March 2011 (PDT) |

Why I Made This
I'm sure to piss off half the people here for it but thanks to CWCki, I've become a bit of a wikifag and I now see why so many Ass Pies are admins over at Wikipedia. While we're not Wikipedia, we're still aiming to be a respectable wiki, even if it is a wiki devoted to an autistic manchild we love to hate and hate to love, and we should at least strive for very basic stuff (like notability guidelines, not editing an article about yourself, that sort of thing).
This isn't intended to be official, but just a good guidelines. As anything else, this can be edited so if you disagree, you can edit it to make it better. I hope you all agree the need for some of these suggestions and edit it accordingly. --Champthom 02:24, 14 March 2009 (CET)

Dates
Linking them like "1 March 2009" saves the trouble of explicitly linking 2009#March. Also, it gives a list of back links which can be useful when maintaining lists. Axe 05:17, 3 May 2009 (CEST)
Ob the subject of dates, any way we can get it to display the current date in the format of DD MONTH YYYY with the month spelled out? the dd/mm/yy tends to confuse the hell out of people, as Eurofags might read 9/11 to think it's 9 November whereas an Americunt will read it as 11 September. Of course, if you say 11 September, the Eurofag will be like "Oh, that makes sense" and an Americunt will find it an alright way, as people sometimes say like "the [x]th of [month]." --Champthom 09:01, 11 October 2009 (CEST)
"When it comes to dates, be a Eurofag"
Should we really be doing this? Chris and most his trolls are American, after all; plus it just makes us look pretentious. --Espanolic 04:02, 30 August 2010 (PDT)
- But this is an international standard and there can be no confusion, not to mention it's easier to link to months. --Champthom 17:29, 20 December 2010 (PST)
Images
We could use some images here, preferably ORIGINAL CONTENT, to illustrate points here.--Champthom 17:38, 20 December 2010 (PST)
- So like what, one image per section? Should it just be ASCII (e.g. "Sign your comments" has an image of 4 tildes) or do you want some stylized Wikipe-tan chibi shit (e.g. "When it comes to dates be a Eurofag" has Niggo-tan (working title) dressed as a Russian)?
