Quotes

First of, yay for Sima for making this. I was gonna ask about what language the article names of landmarks needed to be in actually ^^;

Anyways, my question is the following. Concerning quotes, do we add a comma after the speaker or not? So for example:

"Blablabla."

―Aveline de Grandpré, observing something important, 1765.

or

"Blablabla."

―Aveline de Grandpré observing something important, 1765.

Cause I've noticed I've been inconsistent about this. It's not all that important, but since we're listing down basic rules, I figured I'd ask. Alright thanks for reading. Crook ^{The Constantine District} 11:54, March 1, 2015 (UTC)

Also, in regard to the article names of landmarks, what if no English version exists for the landmark in question? Cities like Florence have well-known English variants, but I can't see every obscure landmark having one :s Crook ^{The Constantine District} 12:02, March 1, 2015 (UTC)

See Forum:Naming landmarks. And if no English form exist then you just stick to the next best thing, of course. As for those quotes I always use the second form myself since it's more indicative that the quote focuses on 'observing something important', than on Aveline de Grandpré, who just happens to be 'observing something important'. I think it's more about what the focus of a particular quote is on than something that must be the same for all quotes. -- Master Sima Yi _Talk 12:06, March 1, 2015 (UTC)

Landmarks

I had a question. So I know that the rule is to have the english name and then the native name in between brackets. I'd already asked about what should be done in case of the lack of an english name - "the next big thing" feels a bit ambiguous. Anyways, my worry was this: the landmark has an english equivalent, but it's almost never used. Palais-Royal for instance. Should I have named the article "Royal Palace" instead, even though nobody calls it as such? Similarly, Basilica Menor de San Francisco de Asis, should that have been "basilica and monastery of San Francisco de Asis"? Crook ^{The Constantine District} 16:40, July 21, 2015 (UTC)

If it's up to me I say go for the name the landmark is most commonly known by in English. I think that's the most sensible solution especially in the last example you mentioned. If others could hop in and give their opinion though, that'd be appreciated. -- Master Sima Yi _Talk 19:45, July 21, 2015 (UTC)

I agree with Sima, if something is commonly known by its name in another language even in English, it's probably a good idea to use that name... But then if a landmark is never mentioned by that name in any in-universe material, would that be acceptable? Or would that be like adding real life information to an in-universe article? -- Zero-ELEC (talk) 21:35, July 21, 2015 (UTC)

Not 100% sure what you're asking there, Zero-ELEC :s In your example, I think it'd be a good idea to use the name most commonly used in English (whether that term is actually English, or French or whatever), and then create a redirect to the article with the term used in-game. Maybe? :P Crook ^{The Constantine District} 06:55, July 22, 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm honestly not sure where I was going with that one. -- Zero-ELEC (talk) 19:18, July 22, 2015 (UTC)

Unidentified individuals

So, I have a question, since there seems to be no policy that I could find and this seems like the place: How do we name pages relating to unidentified individuals? A few have titles, so that's fairly straight forward; others have a specification/profession and a date or while others just have profession/specification. What's the standard that should be used? -- Zero-ELEC (talk) 21:23, July 21, 2015 (UTC)
