Talk:Roving Dragon

Article name
I think this article should probably be called "The Roving Dragon" as it seems more appropriate and fits with convention for names of pubs/inns. Fw190a8 (talk &middot; contr) 18:04, October 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Personally, I do not like having the "the" in article names... and mainly this is just visual... Inhabitants of The Roving Dragon or Inhabitants of The Nether Mountains... I think Inhabitants of the Roving Dragon looks better... I have seen it both ways on the wiki... perhaps there needs to be an executive ruling on the capitalization of "THE"... at which point I will follow the new policy :) Darkwynters (talk) 18:33, October 11, 2012 (UTC)

I'd only use 'the' in a title if it appears capitalized in a source or is written on the sign outside. That is, if it's officially confirmed as part of the name. I did that with The Gauntlet and Girdle and others for example, as the "the" was capitalised and even italicised as such where I saw them. In the novel, the "the" is not capitalized unless it starts a sentence. To say "the Roving Dragon" is just how we refer to specific buildings in English. It's the same as "I went to the house" or "He attacked the castle." Consider: what if it turned out that the place was started by Shou and the full name is actually "Lucky Golden Roving Dragon"? :D -- BadCatMan (talk) 02:00, October 12, 2012 (UTC)
