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. Thanks. This is why I didn't really understand what was the problem. I seems there was no problem in the first place. Let's hope there will be no more misunderstandings.
