Upon hindsight, it would seem more likely to use a Photoshop-like program to write text. Although, I still think the point would stand about not needing to write out full names (assumption providing).

To rebut all the following paragraphs (as well as point 2 of your reply above) my line of thinking —and the subsequent assumptions—comes from the fact that the first ever 'White-style' technique Hoaqin utilised had the super term "Arie Swordsmanship[, Sect Two Tenth Stance]" included in it. If you ignore the other 3 White-style techniques that followed, it would be logical to believe that SotRLS is indeed an Arie swordsmanship technique (due to its name). Why I assume the others to also be Arie style techniques is because I find it strange that they wouldn't follow the same trend despite not holding the "Arie Swordsmanship[, Sect x nth Stance]" part in their names. "It's more than likely that more notable masters of the style add personal touches and enhancements to the style, creating separate set of techniques in the process. These techniques are no longer part of the Arie swordsmanship, they are extensions." Adding personal touches/enhancements to a pre-existing style/technique makes it a derivation rather than an extension; thus the derived technique(s) is both separate/independent and yet a part of its 'parent' technique/style. That is my style of thinking at least.

Ah ahhhh, I had a feeling you would take that comment that way... so I'm going to try and justify my words. Yes, there are exceptions to every rule (as you yourself have seen) and yes I will enforce them at my discretion, it's part of my small duty as an admin. An exception which you were involved in would be the Wonsul technique debate, where you pointed out mistaken assumptions in the listed techniques; however certain techniques which you disagreed on keeping listed still remain on the page. It's not as if I'm always vehemently refusing, disregarding and ignoring other users' comments and suggestions without consideration; it's actually quite the opposite, please correct me if you feel otherwise. It's a fan run wiki with a community of users and I'm a firm believer that the views of many outweigh the few when it comes to making decisions [such as these]. If people make it clear that that they feel someone is wrong then we'll usually go with the decision of the many. But, if it comes down to a decision between just myself and any other user (barring Baam25th), unfortunately the decision is going to swing my way more times than not...

All that aside, we've disagreed on stuff before and we'll disagree again in the future I'm sure. So for now, let this one go.
