This article already exists: Ramilies--Harriticus 17:38, 12 August 2012 (CEST)

Fixed! The Lemur 17:50, 12 August 2012 (CEST)

Where is the name Ramilies from?--Ashendant 21:33, 12 August 2012 (CEST)

According to wiki it is a town in Belgium and the name of some naval vessels and a battle, although spelled with two L's. The Lemur 22:20, 12 August 2012 (CEST)
I'm talking in the fluff, because in Rites of Battle it's called Ramilles(with 2 L)--Ashendant 00:22, 13 August 2012 (CEST)
I'm just going by the FW website - thats what they call the toy they sell, with one "l". The Lemur 00:28, 13 August 2012 (CEST)
So we have two names Ramilles from Deathwatch and Ramilies from Forgeworld. What do we do in this situation?--Ashendant 00:46, 13 August 2012 (CEST)

Well - there is no right or wrong, so I guess we just pick one name and put a trivia note about the spelling difference. Personally I dont care what name we choose, as long as we sort out any double-redirects etc. The Lemur 00:56, 13 August 2012 (CEST)

Well it can't be Ramiles (with one L) since there is no source for that, and it's creator is called Ramillies... and now i'm confused.
Probably we could had both names and do it like this in the beggining of the article.
"Ramilles or Ramilies Class Star-forts are a class of gigantic semi-mobile star-fort capable of moving through warp space."
What do you think?--Ashendant 01:13, 13 August 2012 (CEST)
There is a source for Ramiles with one L - its the FW website. But I think you are right - spell it the way it's written in the most recent source (two L's seems more right somehow). To make it mor compicated - "Star fort" is written in 3 different ways IN A SINGLE ENTRY on the FW page. I think its a situation where the sources are contradictory, so we just make the best of it and do what seems most sensible. The Lemur 01:21, 13 August 2012 (CEST)
Hum... in FW sites it says Ramilies (With a second I). Anyway Deathwatch: Rites of Battle name is exactly "Ramilles class star-fort".--Ashendant 01:31, 13 August 2012 (CEST)
Go with that then , 2 L's. The Lemur 01:33, 13 August 2012 (CEST)
