Well, I've finished a complete proofread of the guide, and now I'd like some input on a few things. The following is directed to Melon247, who seems to be the sole contributor of content. | Well, I've finished a complete proofread of the guide, and now I'd like some input on a few things.

# In the [[Dog's Life/High Street#Pigeons on the Wrong Perch|Pigeons on the Wrong Perch]] section, the man on the radio ''had'' a steak or he ''has'' a steak? Originally I changed it to ''has'' to make sense, but later he gives Jake the steak bone. So when you first see him, do you see a bone on a plate, and that's how you know he ''had'' a steak? | # In the [[Dog's Life/High Street#Pigeons on the Wrong Perch|Pigeons on the Wrong Perch]] section, the man on the radio ''had'' a steak or he ''has'' a steak?

# On the [[Dog's Life/Mountain Slide]] page, the only strategy is centered around a cheat code. Now I don't see mention of learning a cheat code in-game anywhere else in the guide, so I'm assuming this is a feature being used outside of the actual Dog's Life world. If that's the case, you need to put in an alternate strategy (actually turn the cheat code into the alternate strategy) for people who want to beat the game as it was intended to be played. | # <strike>On the [[Dog's Life/Mountain Slide]] page, the only strategy is centered around a cheat code.

# I know that you are playing the UK version, but in the interest of a multi-national readership, can we find a way to inform visitors about some British-English terminology? Some way to let people know the definition of words like "car park" or "trump." | # I know that you are playing the UK version, but in the interest of a multi-national readership, can we find a way to inform visitors about some British-English terminology?

# The last issue, and the biggest one, is consistency throughout the guide. We (you) need to come to some sort of consensus on formatting and spelling. I'll start a table here for you to edit. I'll start it with the things I remember coming across, and you can fill in how you want it to appear in the guide. If you, I or anyone else finds other inconsistent usages, they can add another row. | # The last issue, and the biggest one, is consistency throughout the guide.

I've also left some ideas on the [[StrategyWiki:Featured guides/Current requests#Dog's Life|Featured Guide Nomination]] page, about splitting up some of the information, so take a look there also. - [[User:Najzere|'''naj''']]<font color="green">[[User_talk:Najzere|zere]]</font> 23:16, 5 October 2008 (UTC) | I've also left some ideas on the [[StrategyWiki:Featured guides/Current requests#Dog's Life|Featured Guide Nomination]] page, about splitting up some of the information, so take a look there also. - [[User:Najzere|'''naj''']]<font color="green">[[User_talk:Najzere|zere]]</font> 23:16, 5 October 2008 (UTC) | ||
