- Click "watch" at the top of the page. Sizik 23:32, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
- This is a damn good example of why people need to not have excessively strong kneejerk reactions to things. In this case: Getting mad about something you don't like because it's new to you and you don't understand it, instead of trying to figure out if maybe it can do what you need it to (which in this case, it can).

- I also agree with real world information, it helps make connections in the brain and besides building on your general knowledge, it also makes you remember it easier. Also pictures help you visualize things in the game which 1. Develop your imagination and 2. Make the game more enjoyable. At least in my opinion.
- Even so, I see no reason why not to add real-world information. Yes, it may not be accurate with what is in the game, but if you specify that it is from real life it shouldn't be a problem. (It also helps fill in a bit of those stone/gem pages) --Speed112 23:43, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
- A point made earlier that we need to consider: there is some necessity to separate out factual information from in game information in a consistent and clean manner, so it's obvious that some property only applies to real life and not to the game itself. --Briess 23:46, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
