Some of the articles are named incorrectly, and I don't know how to change them. The articles I'm thinking of in specific are Quickly Arlecchino, which should be "Quickley Arlecchino (yes, it's spelled wrong, but that's how it's spelled on the family tree in game), and Lee-Tesha Situp, which should be "La-Teesha Situp."Naam Tin Jau 04:36, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

I have noticed that often, the spelling of names isn't consistent 100% of the time in the games. I can't think of an example off-hand, but I recall that two brothers from Barnacle Bay have the same last name, but it's spelled differently for both of time. In any case, if a page for whatever reason needs to be moved, beside the green 'edit' button there should be an arrow; click on that arrow and a menu should drop down with 'move' as an option. Use that tool to give that page a new name; be sure to set the tool to move any subpages (such as talk pages, player stories pages) along with it. Message me if you run into any trouble. -- LostInRiverview talk · blog 04:48, January 25, 2011 (UTC)
