Gunblade revisited.
The discussion above concludes that the weapon should not be described as a gunblade. Soccerguy1039 keeps changing it from the uncontroversial: "The new weapon featured in the trailer has not been named yet but it is a combination of a sword and a fire-arm." To the version the Talk Page has decided against: "The gunblade featured in the trailer."
This is clearly unnacceptable. If he objected to the descision he should discuss it on the talk page. Deliberatly adding innacurate information counts as vandalism. Locking the page will not work since he has been making the same change for months and will likely not give up that easily. What alternatives are there? I have already posted on his talk page asking him not to change it without justification but could we maybe ban him temporarily to prove that this is not going to be tollerated?Simondrake 23:44, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- There's been some disagreement over the words "has not been named yet". I'm not sure this is all that important- if it doesn't have a name, and we're not inventing our own name for it, this implies that it has no name. Whether or not we explicitly say so seems like a pretty minor point. Friday (talk) 17:56, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- Yea that should just be left out of it, putting in the "has not been named" is pretty redundant since there isn't already a name in it.-- Soccerguy1039 2:26, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Wow that's even worse, it should just be left how it was, that's just getting to long and repetitive.--67.174.128.249 8:04, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
I think the caption by the above poster is perfect. It doesn't over complicate it and explains clearly what the weapon is. Kitmitsu 01:01, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- Yea but the only thing wrong with it is that he put the "has not been named yet" which is redundant if there isn't a name in it, which implies that there is no name for the weapon.--67.174.128.249 3:38, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
I meant I think what you wrote is fine :P Kitmitsu 01:33, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Oh, nevermind then.--67.174.128.249 8:57, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
You guys don't know what you're talking about, it's a gun and a blade at the same time, so it's even more of a gunblade than the ones from FF8, so it should be called such until a different name has been made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emokid200618 (talk • contribs)
Its outrageous to name it a "gunblade" when you have no solid evidence that it is in fact a gunblade. The fact is that it is a combination of a sword and firearm, this does not however mean that it is a gunblade, the term gunblade refers to something very specific within this context, and by calling it a gunblade it may serve to confuse those who (reasonably) instantly associate the term gunblade with the weapon from FFVIII. To conclude, the term "gunblade" is inappropriate as it causes needless confusion. Plebmonk
- What are you talking about? Calling it a gunblade is less confusing than what you've been putting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emokid200618 (talk • contribs)
- It is NOT a gunblade as seen in FFVIII, so it shouldnt be labelled as such...simple enough? I would also like to remind you that you have reverted this article 4 times now, perhaps you should read Misplaced Pages:Three-revert rule. Plebmonk
- I warned Emokid200618 about the three revert rule. After being notified, he chose to continue and has been reported to the administrators. AuburnPilot 01:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- good job, was just about to do the same myself. That was getting slightly annoying...Plebmonk
What's the three revert rule?
Gunblade Wording
Because of the revert wars and what not revolving around the wording of the gunblade, I bring up the question: What should the wording for the gunblade caption be? I lean towards "The new weapon featured in the trailer appears to be a combination of a sword and a firearm," though others have suggested other wordings? I'm not going to take part in reverts until a decision is made. Anyone have a different idea? EvilReborn 22:59, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- I think it should just be "The new weapon is a combination of a sword and a firearm." The appears to be isn't needed since we can tell from the trailer that it is a combination of a sword and a firearm since it was shown being wielded as both.
- How about a new approach; "The new weapon in the trailer functions as a sword and a firearm." That seems best since it refers to what it does not what it is. We know what it does since we've just seen it in the trailer.Simondrake 15:07, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with you, Simondrake. That sounds like the best of the bunch. EvilReborn 16:23, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
Yea that does sound like a good one, either way works fine.
- Simondrakes wording sounds perfect. Though it also sounded perfect to me as it was, I dont see the need for this ultra-specific wording, though if we are going down that path, then Simondrakes idea works fine for me. Plebmonk
Or maybe we could just call it a gunblade since that's what it is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Emokid200618 (talk • contribs) 04:28, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
I think that it should be left how it is right now, there's nothing wrong with it and there's no new information on the weapon so there's no reason to change it--67.174.128.249 5:34, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
