Should we perhaps rename this [[The Lightning|''The'' Lightning]], to differentiate from plain ol' regular [[lightning]]?<br>--[[user:SmallerOnTheOutside|SOTO]] [[User talk:SmallerOnTheOutside|☎]] 04:17, September 11, 2013 (UTC) | Should we perhaps rename this [[The Lightning|''The'' Lightning]], to differentiate from plain ol' regular [[lightning]]?<br>--[[user:SmallerOnTheOutside|SOTO]] [[User talk:SmallerOnTheOutside|☎]] 04:17, September 11, 2013 (UTC) | ||
:I thought of that, but figured if I did, someone would slap a rename tag on it to get rid of the "the".

::You can never really win. We do include definite articles in the title in instances like [[the Doctor]], [[the Monk]], [[the Question]], [[the Master]] — that is to say, when ordinary nouns are given different meanings when "the"'s included. We have [[Doctor]] and [[the Doctor]]; we might as well at least leave the option open for someone in the future to write an article about the weather phenomenon.<br>--[[user:SmallerOnTheOutside|SOTO]] [[User talk:SmallerOnTheOutside|☎]] 04:28, September 11, 2013 (UTC) | |||
