What's the difference?
What's the difference between vandalism and spam? Thepokemonmaster (talk) 06:10, July 2, 2014 (EDT)


 * As defined on this policy page, vandalism is deliberately adding content that shouldn't be on a page to it (nonsense/gibberish is a common way of referring to that); adding offensive material or removing content from pages would also be considered vandalism. Spam is a form of vandalism, which, according to this page, is adding links to other sites, solely to advertise them or lead people to them. In practice, "spam" might be used to refer to more types of vandalism than just linking, though, like some of the "adding gibberish." -Sky (talk)   12:21, July 2, 2014 (EDT)

Why should furniture names be capitalzed when they aren't capitalzed in game??
Why should the names of furniture be capitalized in game when they aren't capitalized in-game? On most wikis about games they usually use the in-game capitalization. I don't get it!

 * It's kind of murky in this field, actually. In-game uses both lowercase, but official game guides have used both capitalization, so it isn't as clear cut as it seems. All arguments for each capitalization rules have its merits, but I'm going with policy for now rather than change everything. There are some arguments about this standard, even though it has been established already. Something isn't right about this system we have here. :/ 19:58, August 24, 2014 (EDT)

 * You can keep this up all you want as far as I'm concerned - but there is no possibility that the policy is going to change again in the near future, so if you continue to make these edits that break guidelines, we will continue to revert them. Red   Snapper  11:34, August 27, 2014 (EDT)

I'm fine with furniture capitalizing but I do not agree with capitalizing stuff like toy hammer and fish/bug names(except proper nouns in them)

New comment: I have an observation in the game: items like "Pipe" are capitalized while something like Stripe Bed show up in lowercase. Should we go back to lowercasing for most names then? 16:14, May 19, 2015 (EDT)

Maybe.(I'm gonna do) --50.136.149.237 11:54, May 23, 2015 (EDT)


 * The only way to truly settle this new issue is to put up another poll. Red   (talk)  Red snapper (Wild World).gif 11:59, May 23, 2015 (EDT)

How do you do that?

--50.136.149.237 12:21, May 23, 2015 (EDT)


 * You won't be able to do that, since a poll would be placed on the Main Page, which is protected. Ultimately, the decision would be down to the directors, SuperHamster and Jake. Red   (talk)  Red snapper (Wild World).gif 06:44, May 24, 2015 (EDT)

How do the directors do that?

--50.136.149.237 12:16, May 24, 2015 (EDT)

I don't think polls are the best option for deciding policy, though. I'd like to decide through a mini-consensus in this page. Anyway, what do you mean by, "how do directors do that?" 15:47, May 24, 2015 (EDT)

I mean how do they make polls on the main page.

--50.136.149.237 16:09, May 24, 2015 (EDT)
 * The directors probably have created the poll from polldaddy.com. But yeah, I don't advise you to fiddle with the poll. I'm not sure who controls the polls exactly, but I'm not one of them. 19:39, May 24, 2015 (EDT)

Not exactly agreeing with capitalization policy
I'm really thinking that this policy should be reworked, considering the discussions above. Especially since this is determined by a poll which most likely isn't appropriately representative of Nookipedia's readers or editors. All in all, determining how the capitalization policy spells out via a poll is far from ideal, and I'd rather we have some discussion, not a poll with sampling bias. 18:08, July 27, 2015 (EDT)
 * I wouldn't mind another discussion. I believe we put the poll out due to us not being able to come to a good conclusion, and to stop the constant edit warring that was going on once and for all. But of course, that's not the best way if we can get a good discussion going, especially since the poll could've been gamed, voters didn't get a lot of information, etc. ~Super Hamster  Talk 21:13, July 27, 2015 (EDT)
 * I've already mentioned a few things in the discussion ("Pipe" is capitalized, so it's not like the game decided to make everything low-caps). Perhaps that can be brought to this? 22:33, July 27, 2015 (EDT)
