Website display 

I'm just curious, especially because I've been seeing several editors doing this, but why would you change "Evanescence.com" to "www.Evanescence.com" (as you did here), when the former is a perfectly valid link to their website and is much more visually pleasing? —  (t @ c) 

The infobox doc has the standard format as "www.example.com" and the Official link at the bottom of the page was directed to www.ev.com so I followed that pattern as well.  Also, as you mentioned, most other pages have the www. on there as well. Most of the time the reasoning is because when visiting the domain without the "www." subdomain, it redirects to it with the "www." anyway.  Apparently this is not the case with the Evanescence website (as I have just verified).  I was really just looking for consistency, though.  Since the Ev pages all had "www." listed, I kept it consistent by making the infobox the same.  I agree that Evanescence.com looks better.  However, all official channels such as their official twitter page (as well as Amy Lee's official twitter page), the official youtube page, and even the WindUp records website links to "www.Evanescence.com". I believe that we should follow suit. ~ [ Scott M. Howard ]:[ Talk ] ~ 

Okay, that's fine. For most any modern website, the "www" is almost completely redundant, and I personally loath such things, but it really makes no difference for our purposes here. The infobox doc makes no sense to me with that "standard", since IIRC http:// and https:// could technically direct viewers to two different websites, so why not require that part as well? Feels like over-standardisation. —  (t @ c) 

I just figure consistency throughout Evanescence is best.  If that's how they advertise themselves, I guess that's how we should.  On the subject of "www", I agree that it's completely redundant.  The only reason it exists seems to be out of habit. lol  It even sounds stupid on radio or TV when people are advertising their sites "Go to double-you double-you double-you dot ..." Got a studder, pal?  I dunno.  It sorta goes with my want to use metric in the united states... but we know THAT will probably never change as a standard either. ah, well. =D ~ [ Scott M.

Indeed! Why oh why can't we just switch to metric? I'm not sure what you mean by "advertise"? You mean how the site is presented by the group in other media? I don't really understand how that is relevant to how it should be displayed by anyone else, but all that's irrelevant! D —  (t @ c)
