:::That's just it, the game addresses them as proper nouns only because it'd be weird without. Imagine locking-on to a gate and having the text "fortified wall" appear on the screen. Seems lazy and ugly, right? So they have to make it title case in order to make it look good. However, just because text is written in title case doesn't mean that's the "official" capitalization. And because we don't know the official capitalization, we should go with common sense. And common sense kinda says that "fortified walls" aren't humans, pets, locations, or anything of the sort. So they hardly deserve a title case capitalization. That's the point I'm trying to get across. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 16:46, 19 December 2014 (EST) | :::That's just it, the game addresses them as proper nouns only because it'd be weird without.

== Nomination for patroller: Midnight blue == | |||
:''No opposers'' | |||
=== Support === | |||
* I am nominating [[User:Midnight blue|Midnight blue]] for the position of patroller, with their approval. Midnight blue may not have a large number of edits, but those edits are high-quality and show an understanding of how the wiki works. During the ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' documentation phase they helped a lot with article creation and organization, and with ''Pikmin 4'' coming soon, it would be useful to have another staff member able to help with organizing the many new articles that will be created. — [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 17:52, April 24, 2023 (EDT) | |||

* I would like to see more of her around the wiki if she becomes a staff member. I don't mean editing every day or anything like that, but enough presence to make it clear the wiki is being watched. Midnight, if you agree please let me know, and I'd like to add you on board! — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 11:07, May 8, 2023 (EDT) | |||
== Nomination for administrator: Soprano == | |||
:''No opposers or comments'' | |||
=== Support === | |||
* OK, I think it's time to nominate myself for administrator. I've been a patroller for over a year now, and I have used the abilities that role gives to stop vandalism a few times. With ''Pikmin 4'' coming soon, it would be useful for the wiki to have someone with the ability to protect pages and make interface edits at times of the day where Espyo's not online, in case those things need to be done quickly. — [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 17:37, May 9, 2023 (EDT) | |||
