Discusión:Aon

Merge with list?

Is there a reason why this page and the List of Aons page are separate? It seems to me they should be combined.--WeiryWriter (talk) 23:19, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

I think this page is supposed to talk about the science of Aon's where as the list discusses particulars. It might be better if they get merged though. Any opinions? --Joe ST (talk) 11:16, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

What do you mean about the "science of Aons"? I move that we delete this list. There's not really a huge amount of usefulness in putting the Aons in order of appearance, in my opinion. A comprehensive alphabetical list is better overall. However, there might be something useful in an Aon article, discussing the symbols themselves and their origin, rather than listing them, so I don't think we should do away with this article completely, simply rework it into a more useful form. --Windrunner (talk) 13:51, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

I didn't really mean science, more what you said; history, general stuff, etc.. not really describing it well but heh --Joe ST (talk) 14:31, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

I fully support merging List of Aons with this article. I think "Aon" should be the article we go with on that one. -- Chaos2651 (talk) 20:48, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

I'm working on a mock-up of a new Aon page at the moment, will post on my user page when I get a little farther.--WeiryWriter (talk) 22:14, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Okay I've finished with the mock-up of the new article (User:WeiryWriter/Aon) If anyone can think of anything else to add it would be helpful. Or I can go ahead and shift it to here.--WeiryWriter (talk) 19:16, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

His/Her vs. Their

So, Joe made a couple alterations to the article, namely changing "his or her" to "their." Now I have always learned that this is incorrect, their is not singular. I discussed it with him over chat but he suggested that we get some outside input because neither one of us is going to agree the other. I think we should stick with more formal language for the wiki and as such use correct grammar.--WeiryWriter (talk) 16:35, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Where as I am taking wikipedia's stance as 'their' fits both and is just better reading. --Joe ST (talk) 17:29, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Grammar Girl recommends using "they," and I trust her judgment. Her rationalization is very good and she takes into account many style guides. I do not think we should use overly formal speech on the wiki. Since style guides cannot agree on a solution, I suggest we go with their. It is easier to write and easier to read. -- Chaos2651 (talk) 19:02, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
