replies: text: Nice addition. I went in and cleaned up the grammar and just said they jumped in a hole in her neck. The leviathan isn't mentioned anywhere else and since Gaia is a Titan (not exactly human), now one will really question why there's a hole near her neck. I also try to avoid "at the beginning of the game" kind of language, it's better to try to keep the synopsis moving forward.

message: As some of us know, in the comics for God of War, Kratos' Wife's name is revealed to be Lysandra, however, in God of War III, her name is not mentioned whatsoever. Even in the credits, it lists her as "Wife". Someone reading this article who would look at the Voice Cast would wonder, who in the world is Lysandra and what is her role in this game? They would not make the connection that she is Kratos' Wife without looking at the List of God of War characters page.
Also, in regards to Calliope, yes, there is an Ancient Greek female named Calliope, however, the one previously linked is not the Calliope in the God of War games. It's a completely different Calliope. Linking to that Wikipedia would probably confuse someone reading this article. JDC808 (talk) 17:09, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kratos' Wife / Lysandra; also a note about Calliope 

message: According to David Jaffe in an interview with Geoff Keighly from Gametrailers.com, he originally had his own version of God of War 3, where Kratos would kill Zeus at the beginning of the game, which would create a vortex which would suck all the other mythologies into one world, where Kratos would ultimately stop people from believeing in these gods which would bring the end to the old pagan religions and begin the new age of religions (Christianity in particular), where the ending of the game would have you play as the Three Wise Men. Other ideas that were hinted in this version would've had Kratos use the Medusa head to freeze a monster which ultimately became the Sphinx and Kratos sacrifising himself to live with his family in Hades. 
I would like this on the page as it will allow people to see what God of War 3 was originally intended to be, it should be in the development part of the page  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.153.235.67 (talk) 06:32, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

message: There seems to be some blanket denial re: the need to correct material in the Settings and Characters sections. Settings is for just that, a brief listing of locations without subjective phrases (e.g. who says the Forum is most frequently used by Hercules?) and weak, unnecessary sections (e.g. civilians living in areas and "are attacked by enemies"). This isn't good writing or what constitutes an encyclopedia standard article.

replies: text: You fail to understand things. This is also explained on the Chains of Olympus talk page, but I guess I'll explain here as well. The Setting section is not "a brief listing of locations". It's to describe the environments from which these games take place. The inclusion of the monsters help describe what's found in these environments. The Characters section is for characters that affect the plot, not common enemies. And please, don't ridicule others writing when there are many errors in your own. --JDC808 ♫ 23:32, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  It can be rationalised that the monsters can be listed at the end of the Settings section, which atill works minus the subjective and unnecessary descriptions. That said, I've made the change, and also restored a few other changes that were necessary. I would ask that you refrain from any more blind reversions. If you have any questions please ask here.

replies: text: First off, please let a discussion finish before making reverts. You have a very bad habit of not doing that. On to the issues. The monsters should be listed with the locations that they are found in, not tagged on to the end of the section. I explained what you like to claim as "blind reverts" at Ascension's Talk page and being that you were the one who took a 3 month editing break, you should be the one asking questions before making questionable changes as a lot has happened in your absence. --JDC808 ♫ 05:17, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The fact that someone has had a break is neither here nor there. People are free to edit at any time. Regards Bluerim (talk) 05:25, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: "neither here nor there", what does that even mean? That contributed nothing to the advancement of this discussion. --JDC808 ♫ 05:32, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Just that. People can edit at any time. No one has ownership over an article and people can edit after months of inactivity and make valid contributions. As to the article, you're actually the one who keeps hitting the reset button to the time before any changes were made to your preferred version. As to Setting, you need to understand that it can't read as a subjective travelogue, which is what it was previously.
Bluerim (talk) 09:20, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

text: Yes, people can edit at any time, but that doesn't mean you should come back from months of inactivity, chop away and remove content from an article that's been worked on during your inactivity, and not expect opposition to your controversial changes. The reason I've reverted you to the "preferred version" is because it has far less errors and inaccuracies then what you've been doing. If you cannot see the errors in what you're doing to the second paragraph of the lead alone, I don't know what to say because they are glaringly, blatantly, in-your-face obvious. As to the Setting, what exactly is subjective about it? I give you maybe Hercules, but that's the only thing that could be considered subjective. During your inactivity, I learned through an FAC process that readers want more and need more to understand what's going on, especially non-gamers. --JDC808 ♫ 09:42, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
