::Everything should eventually get changed to present tense though. Past tense is really only to be used in things like History sections, in the context of the topic, where present tense would be confusing. this is because present tense is the standard for literary discussions in academia and stuff (because since theoretically the events of the books take place every time somebody reads them, they never stop happening and so are not truly in the past from our perspective). As for British vs American English it's not as big a deal, no one will object if you change stuff to American ('though I would likely revert edits that did the reverse, if I notice it).--[[User:WeiryWriter|WeiryWriter]] ([[User talk:WeiryWriter|talk]]) 12:34, 20 January 2017 (MST)
:::Yes, it does say at the top, mistakes are okay, but let's do our best, etc.
:::Check out my changes to [[Cenn]], and see what you think.
:::Regarding the example of [[Shashara]], it would just sound kind of weird to me to change that article to present tense. She was long dead before the events in the book -- a historical figure. [[User:Hadhad|Hadhad]] ([[User talk:Hadhad|talk]]) 07:30, 21 January 2017 (MST)
