Check the Manual of Style before you edit; you need to write articles in the past tense. Mi gh ty Me 21:18, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Why? BC 21:19, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Because it's the way we do things around here. Mi gh ty Me 21:21, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Ah. What an excellant reason for that rule. BC 21:23, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

And why do you keep removing information from the mask pages? Mi gh ty Me 21:25, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

It's unneeded or unimportant. BC 21:27, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

If you want to know why we write our articles in past tense, we had a poll open a while ago about it, and the clear majority supported writing articles in the past tense. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 22:09, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, well I think it sounds awkward. 'The Kanohi Jutlin was the Great Mask of Corruption. It had the ability to cause inanimate objects to rot and break down.' What, it was the Mask of Corruption, but now it isn't? It could corrode stuff, but now it can't? I know I can't just say, 'This sounds stupid. Use some common sense and change it!', (so I'm just wasting my time and venting anger) but the 'Use Past Tense Only' policy stinks. Just my personal opinion. BC 00:46, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

BC It is me Kazi how are you? Super Kazi ----- It's a biggie beat

Hey, Kazi22! I'm doing fine. How're you? BC 00:46, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Bold Clone--the reason we use past tense is from the point of view that the BIONICLE story took place a long time ago. "The Kanohi Jutlin was the Great Mask of Corruption in the ancient days of the BIONICLE" not "The Kanohi Jutlin was the Great Mask of Corruption, but now it isn't." Also, when new story comes out, old stuff has to be rewritten in past tense anyway, and it's easier to have it already in past tense in the first place.


 * Keep in mind this isn't BS01. Read the rules, though, and there won't be a problem. ToaAuserv ? ...BPAdmin 14:15, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, but the problem is when I disagree with the rules. 'The Jutlin was the Mask of Corruption.' What makes you think the story took place a long time ago? Why is it implied 'in the ancient days of the BIONICLE'? Antroz wears the Jutlin now, so the Mask article should be written as if it were it now. BC 14:48, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
