Celestial's occupation[edit]

My spellchecker red-lines "tavernkeeper", which is a compound word I don't think I often see. I'd check it out for myself, but I'm having the damnedest time researching this. I've gone so far as to use grep on the directory of the install files looking for "celestial". The string just doesn't exist (the Encore CD-ROM didn't compress anything, did it?)

I don't think "tavernkeeper" is a correct term, but from the screenshot, Celestial is clearly the proprietor of the place. This doesn't require an "expert," just another word. --Polygoncount 01:15, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
I guess "tavern keeper" would be enough?--Sega381 01:18, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
Ya, I fixed it. Agreed that Template:Expert-verify wasn't necessary. Template:Cleanup probably would have been more appropriate.
How do people feel about the quotations? Although I wasn't always consistent my original was like this:

Senora tells the Stranger that barkeep knows of the Sextant and, if he is tipped well, he will tell the Stranger;

"For navigation a Sextant is vital... Ask for item "D" in the Guild shops!"
That still feels right to me. But I know that isn't best argument. You can see what it is now as another example. For proper MLA standard, since it is a short quote, it should just be wrapped in quotes:

Senora tells the Stranger that barkeep knows of the Sextant and, if he is tipped well, he will tell the Stranger: "For navigation a Sextant is vital... Ask for item "D" in the Guild shops!"

Or if it was long enough (4 lines... But what is a line when the browser resizes it?) it would be like so:

Senora tells the Stranger that barkeep knows of the Sextant and, if he is tipped well, he will tell the Stranger;

For navigation a Sextant is vital... Ask for item "D" in the Guild shops! Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed rutrum fringilla porta. Maecenas ut convallis magna.

Sorry this got a bit long but what do people think it should be? Because right now the inconsistency is driving me batty. :) -- Fenyx4 04:10, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
