Talk:Gilbertus Albans/DE

MoffRebus, I don't think that splinting the articles is a good idea. If you do that you will increase the number of twin-articles, and the person who read it don't will have the whole scenarium about the characters.I still think what BH&KJA did with Dune universe is shit, and the reader have the right to choose that reading the both versions in the same page. Better we don't start with this. I think you should have talked me first. Wouldn't we look after this wiki together? Lisan Al-Gaib 22:45, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think that the point is to read both conflicting versions in the same page, but choose which version to read. I find that maintaining one article in conflicting sections is messy (a huge Butlerian Jihad article providing both versions will be unreadable!!) but providing a different article altogether would help everyone.
 * Don't worry that the reader will lose one version or the other: If we follow this policy, I will incorporate in each article a template such as "This topic is also covered in the Dune Encyclopedia" or "This topic is also covered in the Expanded Dune" providing a link to the respective page. Such templates exist in Wikipedia, for example the article of a celebrity has a template linking to a page of quotes, or a page of Wikimedia Commons pictures, or to the Wiktionary.
 * Also, if we write articles pertaining to the Dune Encyclopedia, the links will always have the /DE version. For example the article about Jehanne Butler will link to the Butlerian Jihad so there will be no confusion or conflict between the continuities and we won't have to write a messy text divided in multiple sections in one page. What do you think? MoffRebus 07:25, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I also must add that this technique will be necessary only in conflicting articles. Other articles such as baliset are based on the DE but the information doesn't conflict other sources; there is no need to have both baliset and baliset/DE. So what do you think?? I hope you see my point MoffRebus 11:55, 5 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I liked a little about your idea. But what it's worrying me is if that would increase the disorganization at here. Well, you have my approve, but I think we have to use this trick only when it's really necessary, ok? And, how is going your reading of the new books? Are you really enjoying them?
