[edit] D20 and trade names
Hi,
I've noticed that you continue to change the Arri name to all caps in the D20 article. As I've mentioned in the comments section, please respect the Manual of Style with regards to trade names - namely, do not use all caps. Also note that wikilinks to the same target should not be used multiple times in shorter articles. Thank you, Girolamo Savonarola 22:51, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks,
ARRI is the recognised trade name, made from the names Arnold and Richter, and has always been written in capitals. Just like the WHO or UNICEF. Arri is a boys name, well my nephews at least. Just a little bit of info for you, in case you are interested. Arnold was Nazi party member 100, Richter was 101. Arnolds surviving son Bobby likes to collect vintage cars, mostly Jaguar's he restores to better than new condition. He has a huge collection of vintage cars stored in barns at his house, including the Staff car his father used while working for the Nazi war effort. I've sat in it. He home brews a particularly vile kind of Grappa he insists you drink if you visit him. He is a very odd man. At the ARRI headquarters in Munich the cameras that Leni Reifenstal used to shoot the Olympiad are kept, away from public view. Instead of the ARRI logo, cast into the metal of the camera are Swasticas. Grubbytoy 01:05 11 March 2007
- I'm sorry, but please read WP:MOSTM, as I've requested. Continued reversion of this will be considered wilfull vandalism. Girolamo Savonarola 09:40, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
I have the read WP:MOSTM. ARRI is an acronym. In Wikipedia there is use of many acronyms that are also trade names. AT&T, IBM, BBC and DVD are all acronyms in use in Wikipedia as written here. ARRI is just another acronym. I can't see your objection in light of that. Grubbytoy 19:46 12 March 2007
How do you refer to the same link multiple times in the same article? Grubbytoy 03:54 11 March 2007
- You don't link the same article multiple times. Again, see WP:MOS. Girolamo Savonarola 09:40, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hi
Just stopped to say you hi. You removed certain info from your talk page - that is fine. You may also try to archive the same for future reference :) --old man 10:45, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, I addressed the issues noted there. New to this. Was that ok to do? Grubbytoy 03:54 11 March 2007
