Talk:Canon EOS 5

Tense

What is up with the article randomly changing tenses? It starts off saying it is a camera, then it was a camera, then it randomly changes a couple of times. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.233.199.76 (talk) 01:47, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Probably because several different people wrote different sections and didn't match styles. Feel free to fix it. We generally write in the present tense about things that still exist, except when talking about their history. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 04:25, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Proposed merger

Given the only way this camera differs from the EOS 5 is the label, perhaps they can be merged? The EOS 5 article has something that would make a nice intro, and the tech specs could be put into table format on the right of the page. Bb3cxv 15:38, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

I say do it! Cranialsodomy

Not just the label

The A2/A2e lacks the -2/+2 digital scale to show under or over exposure featured in the EOS 5, which is reason enough to prefer the later, but I think the articles should be merged anyway. Maprieto 16:34, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Done it

Merged the two articles. Maprieto 17:00, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I have moved it back to EOS 5, the rational being that nobody is going to 5/2A/2Ae. hbdragon88 (talk) 19:24, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Features bullets

I don't agree that prose is the only Wiki style, in fact I think it is the alternative. My wiki style (which makes some readers hot) is to create a title, a descriptor, a paragraph, and then bullets that link to further reading often as citations.

Material and then be lifted safely into other documents that themselves may be purely prose, making them well-structured having been constructed here. This protects open licensing. In fact, it better defines the universal community of knowledge, and hence strengthens the public domain, the best model for this wiki in my opinion.--John Bessa (talk) 15:47, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
