Talk:Kirkwall Rebellion (9:37 Dragon)

Name change?
The name of this page really doesn't make much sense. I understand it when looking through the lens of the game (it's the second large engagement in the game), but from a historical standpoint, it's at least the seventh battle Kirkwall has seen. (1st, Slave Revolt, 2nd, Qunari Invasion, 3rd, Orlais Invasion, 4th, Revolt Against Orlais, 5th, Viscount Threnhold's failed revolt against the Templars, 6th, the second Qunari Invasion, and finally this fight.)


 * I agree. Even the article on the "First Battle of Kirkwall" was later moved to "Second Qunari Invasion of Kirkwall", acknowledging wider historical events. I would support correcting this article's title as well, to either "Seventh Battle of Kirkwall" (or whatever number this battle is), or perhaps something more unique. -- Commdor (Talk) 02:33, August 24, 2011 (UTC)

I don't agree about a name change required. But if there is a need to make this page more specific then how about "Second Battle of Kirkwall of the Dragon Age". Balitant (talk) 02:42, August 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Let me expand on this position Commdor. There is supposedly a history of conflict between the cities of the Free marhces so it is possible that we cannot identify the amount of battles that have taken place in its fictional history. Furthermore, bioware may expand on said history later on, hence why am not in support of renaming this "Seventh battle of Kirkwall". Balitant (talk) 02:46, August 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * As I said above, I'm not particularly attached to "Seventh Battle of Kirkwall" either. If anything, it's a placeholder until we can come up with something better that everyone can agree with. My bottom line here is simply to fix the title. As the unregistered user who brought this up points out, the current title doesn't make sense. -- Commdor (Talk) 02:52, August 24, 2011 (UTC)

A few other possible titles I'll throw out there: "Kirkwall Mage-Templar Crisis", "Battle of Kirkwall (9:37 Dragon)", "Kirkwall Annulment Crisis", "Kirkwall Mage Uprising", "Kirkwall Mage Revolt". I'm favoring the second one at the moment, it's specific enough. I also like the first one. The last three may or may not be neutral enough. I'm still open to other suggestions. -- Commdor (Talk) 03:19, August 24, 2011 (UTC)

My vote would be for Battle of Kirkwall (9:37 Dragon), to keep it somewhat neutral. (VicGeorge2K9 (talk) 11:10, August 24, 2011 (UTC))


 * "Kirkwall Mage-Templar Civil War" can also work too. I agree that the current name isn't good, and "Seventh Battle of Kirkwall" sounds a bit awkward. I more or less like "Battle of Kirkwall (9:37 Dragon)" because of the use of parentheses. Although it is specific, it doesn't describe the actual nature of the war, which is what we should aim for a name I think. --D. (talk · contr) 17:29, August 25, 2011 (UTC)
