An auspice is very odd usage, even in the relentlessly singular Wikipedia. A bit like Pant. Wetman 07:19, 21 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I disagree. The word auspice as it is usually used in English is plural because it is being used in certain figurative locutions that use the plural. But here the topics is the literal meaning of the word, and when it is used in that sense, it is as often singular as is any other noun.
... and sometimes Wikipedia article titles are plural and appropriately so. E.g., Beatles is plural for obvious reasons; Joint Chiefs of Staff similarly, and orthogonal polynomials is plural because there's no such thing as an orthogonal polynomial but there is such a thing as orthogonal polynomials, i.e., two polynomials can be orthogonal to each other.

Why is the reference to Werewolf : The Apocalypse the *first* thing on the page?

new category for some content

I have recently added to the second half of this stubb. however, I feel that this part does not really fit into the "ancient Rome" category any longer, i do not know how to change this, or add a disambiguation page, as this is my fist attempt at expanding an article. I would be happy to do this if someone in the know was to provide instructions, or point me in the direction of them. (anonymous)

No problem here: there'd be no reason to disassemble an article to force the fit into a category such as "ancient Rome".--Wetman (talk) 18:02, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear intro paragraph

The introductory paragraph is pretty much impenetrable.
