::I also agree with 2257. First of all, the purpose of this wiki is to provide all of the official Metroid information available; limiting ourselves and readers to American games has no meaning. As 22 and Cobold said, we can't establish what "canonicity" is by ourselves. In my opinion, any version of the same game, whatever language it uses, is just as "canon" as the other. And as for the fourth point, I don't see what can be accomplished by forbidding any Japanese differences to be written. If we do that, we're not providing all of the information possible to the readers. --[[User:Garlic Man|Garlic Man]] 02:27, 30 January 2010 (UTC) | ::I also agree with 2257.

:: Hey guys, so we actually discussed this in staff chat, and were presently making some changes that better suit everyone, I feel. We will be using a consistent language in text however, meaning since this is an american based Metroid Wiki, we will use american english in the context of the text of the articles. However, you will be able to note name differences, and other significant differences, between game localizations within the context of the articles. Some other big changes were made too, as I agree as the founder of this place that these rules in that of themselves were way too restrictive. I hope you find the new policies to be much better, and I would appreciate feedback on them.
