Wow, cool initiative! The page looks neat! However, scanning through the text I found the following small typos:

* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FutureRP#Combat

Quote
(...) it is beneficial to have a small number of higher level players in a guild then a large number of lower level players (...)


s/then/than

* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FutureRP#Community

Quote
FutureRP relies heavily on it's community (...)


s/it's/its

* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FutureRP#Guild_Customising

Quote
Each guild is given it's own profile (...)


s/it's/its

I have read many articles, and although some of them say that 'its' is correct, every one of them states that using 'its' without an apostrophe when it is a possessive is totally illogical.

I don't see why I should continue to reinforce a logical flaw in the English language.

EDIT:
Fixed the 'then' typo.

As far as I know, it's is correct. It is a possessive.


First of all, sorry for being rude and, as an outsider, taking the freedom to correct a native English speaker and writer -- I can a**ure you it's not meant in a negative way, I'm only trying to help.

Now, from what I learned at school, this is one of the things that sticks with me all the times. When you indicate possession of "something" ("it") there is no apostrophe. The only case when you can use the apostrophe is when "it's" is the contracted form of "it is".

No, you are correct, but I strongly uphold that everyone else is wrong(smiley).

By the way, everyone feel free to update it, if you have more to add and you frequently edit wikipedia articles.

I'll have to hunt you down like an animal if you change the "s" to "z" though

Hmm... well this thread shouldn't turn into a debating issue but, hey, nobody else said anything yet, by the way. I can see your annoyed. Anywayz, I'z wont insists moar on dis 1. Me Engrish must be reel bad.

Now, on topic and on the actual contents of the wiki article:

* under the 'customisation' t*tle, maybe you could add a line stating that items can be upgraded as well (in order to improve there stats);

* under the 'customisation' t*tle -> 'player customising': a line stating the fact that the actual character statistics and other goodies can be affected by using the Points currency for upgrades;

* somewhere undefined: specify that FRP supports the allies/enemies system (in the same manner as guilds use the alliances/warfare system);

* somewhere under the 'gameplay' section, skills would be worthwhile mentioning. Its a golden attribute for most RPGs.
