Talk:Force Field Ring

If this is a unique item, should it not indeed be capitalized? I can see this issue is going to get complicated... :P --Terilem 04:52, May 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Whatever happened to strict English? AngusM 03:31, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * My understanding of proper nouns is that capitalizing it WOULD be adhering to strict English. From the wikipedia entry on proper nouns:


 * "Proper nouns are not normally preceded by an article or other limiting modifier (such as any or some), and are used to denote a particular person, place, or thing without regard to any descriptive meaning the word or phrase may have. The meaning of proper noun capitalization is uniqueness within an implicit context, that is, it provides a name to an instance of a general type when the instance is unique within an implicit context."


 * I'm interpreting "Force Field Ring" to be the name of a unique item, as opposed to "any ring that allows passage through force fields." *shrugs* --Terilem 03:50, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't remember specifically about this ring, but from what I recall about the game, is that you could have multiple instances of the same item (not quite so unique). While this does not help one immediately, it was practical, since items can be stolen. AngusM 04:34, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
