This is too small for a topic to be blown out of proportion. Let's be friendly toward each other. ;)

For now, let it be known that Ifoundalemontree is a voracious editor, which I like. But he has to learn the wiki's culture, which includes how pages should be written.

No block necessary...for now. First of all, thanks.

Again, regarding the names. I don't really understand the big deal. It is not like I am changing the name of the article.

Here, you wrote: "Whole names should be on the starting paragraph of the profile. For formality's sake. "

See, I wasn't changing those. I was merely rewriting sentences in the "Trivia" section. Is it totally necessary to use full names there too when a person has a nickname? Especially when i do it like this: Coach?

I do think, there should be a change though. Again, let's take Coach for instance - Coach is not his real name, and not his first name, it is his nickname. In other words Coach = Benjamin Wade, so this is why I think we should call him either just Coach or Benjamin "Coach" Wade. I prefer the second option.

You can compare it to people outside Survivor who use nicknames. Like Venezuelan footballer Nicolas Fedor, whose nickname is Miku. Nobody calls him "Miku Fedor". I say go for it.

There's no need to keep refering to the contestants by their whole name on the articles anyway. The starting paragraph should be enough.
