Hi. Guild Wars Wiki is not a dictionary, it is an encyclopedia. Geode is a commonly-used term in real life. We don't have trivia entries on stuff like "The Falls," describing that waterfalls are a natural part of the world - it's assumed that the reader can use a dictionary. If a term was translated from a non-English language or if it was very obscure, then maybe it would warrant a trivia section - but Geode is pretty obvious. We really don't need that trivia entry. (also read GWW:1RR when you get a chance). -Auron 11:52, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
Fair enough[edit]
I understand your point, but i do not agree that geode is a 'commonly-used term in real life' as you put it. The example of a water fall is a commonly-used term but i believe that geode is definately a more specialist term and i therefore explained what it was in exatly the same context as other articles, such as the article on the Norn Woad, which defines what a woad is/was. You have reverted the page which is fine but i realise that Guild Wars Wiki is an encyclopedia and not a dictionary, i simply tried to inform users of the wiki on what i believe to be, for lack of a better term, an obscure phrase.
- You can bring it up on the talk page of the article. If people agree that it's an obscure term we can put it back in. -Auron 14:12, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
