[edit] Bolded titles

Hey JarlaxleArtemis, For the bolding title issue please read Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Article titles. Hope that clarifies. -Erolos 16:50, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I think that rule is very stupid. It distracts the eye, and it's totally unnecessary. → JarlaxleArtemis 02:33, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)

Nevertheless, it's how we are supposed to display the articles on wikipedia. You could take it up on the Manual of Style talk page, but as its a precedent in every article on wikipedia, I doubt they would change it. Anyway, I hope you understand me bolding it again, then :) -Erolos

It's no big deal. I just think that policy is a little strange, that's all. → JarlaxleArtemis 00:24, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)

Well I guess for articles about people it allows them to have the full name beneath a more commonly used heading (for example Charles, Prince of Wales). I see your point about smaller articles. i guess I'm just used to it -Erolos 18:31, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Wasn't Zhentarim a type of monster from Baulder's Gate? Were they not large one eyed creatures who floated above the ground and fired magical bolts from their eyes? I simpialy thought that that this should be included but should be researched first.

Um, you're referring to a beholder. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 04:36, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

They were not present in any of the Baldur's Gate games "in flesh", but actually they played a great role in Baldur's Gate, as in the storyline, the Zentharim were accused by the Iron Throne of causing troubles they caused themselves. The following lines are from the dialog of Taugosz Khosann, a member of the Black Talon: "Though many of my men think we work for Zhentarim, that is just told to them in case they are captured. In reality we are paid through Tazok by the Iron Throne. They want us to disrupt all iron shipments coming into the region."
