Talk:Tingles

Is there a chance that someone could pull an image of a Tingle -other than THE tingle- out of their hat? By this I mean one or several of the "other" tingles seen in TRR. Thanks. —Alter  ^{{T C B H }} 05:44, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Hmm...

I'm debating the necessity of this article. This topic is covered in greater detail here, and I'm not entirely sure that the topic is large nor noteworthy enough for its own article. So really we're at either greatly expand this article to the point that the related information on the Tingle article is obsolete, or make this page a redirect to the Tingle article. Any thoughts?

From what I've played of the game, I would say that it is. It's a relatively large part of the game. I would suggest a merge. What do you think? —Alter  ^{{T C B H }} 16:58, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Rupee

Hmm... I don't think that the "R" is supposed to be capitalized. We are talking about a currency here. "Dollar" is not normally capitalized. Neither is yen, euro, sheckle, etc. I've noticed this on several articles. Thoughts? —Alter  ^{{T C B H }} 01:06, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Sigh... You like following me around, don't you? :) I just looked in two player's guides I have lying around (Link's Awakening and Majora's Mask) and they capitalize it. Update: I just looked at the instruction manuals for LoZ, AoL, ALttP, LA, OoT, MM, OoA, OoS, TWW, TMC, TP, and PH, and they all capitalize it except for LA. TLoZ calls them "rubies" and they aren't in AoL. --Makar Rocks 01:18, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Edit conflict: lol Actually, you seem to gravitate towards my watched pages, especially the ones I created in the first place. :) Anyway, perhaps, but that doesn't make it correct. A "rupee" is an actual currency in India, and it is not capitalized there. —Alter  ^{{T C B H }} 01:47, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Not to sound stiff, but if we're going to go by manuals, then we have new definite timeline arcs, new spellings of names, etc. Manuals aren't great when it comes to the sort of grammar. —Alter  ^{{T C B H }} 01:48, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

I looked at several text dumps from the games and they all capitalize Rupee. Good enough? --Makar Rocks 02:35, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Hmm... sadly, I'm still not sure. When is it not capitalized? (I'm assuming you excluding games that are in all caps? If it's only a few times, then it's not really proof. The actual currency known as a rupee is not capitalized. Also, let's assume that it was you and I who were creating the text. My games would be lowercase, while yours would be in upper. —Alter  ^{{T C B H }} 03:17, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

In the text dumps (easily found on GameFAQs) of Ocarina of Time, the Oracle games, and A Link to the Past, Rupee is capitalized *every single time*. You can check the other games if you want, but I think I've given enough proof here. --Makar Rocks 03:40, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Alright, but I would like to have some other people's input before we make a decision. —Alter  ^{{T C B H }} 04:18, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

My input, and wiki policies input, is that if Nintendo of America's localizations capitalize it, then so do we. As the English game versions capitalize it, they should be capitalized.User:Melchizedek/sig 05:54, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
