Talk:Castle of Friendship/@comment-406947-20150908103033/@comment-406947-20151116192307

Part of this is that that name of that toy (and this article) all but implies that Ponyville is no longer part of Equestria, but is the capitol of a new country. Considering that is is not mentioned on the show itself, and that as far as the show itself goes there is every reason to believe that Ponyville is part of Equestria, that is an extraordinary claim, and it should require extraordinary evidence (something more then the name of a dollhouse). I don't think we should be trying so hard to reconcile the toy with the show, just because we need to use the name of the toy in the article.

The toyline does say that Cadence is a 7th element of harmony, yet the Elements of Harmony article relegates that into it's “Other depictions” section, sense that doesn't come from the show itself. I'm advocating the same (or a similar) approach here.

The article was written before season 5, and is basically in the same state now that if was then. I think what happened was that when this was written, we didn't know what effects the castle would have on the show, all we had to go on was the name of that dollhouse.

I meant “Twilight's castle” as more of a distribution then a name, but the first sentence saying “Twilight's castle is ...” does sound rather namey. I didn't want to start it off as “The Friendship Rainbow Kingdom castle is ...”, because that would kind of imply that there is a Friendship Rainbow Kingdom, and defeat the purpose of separating the depiction form the toyline from the depiction in the show. A little awkward, yes, but perhaps the wording of my lead can be improved upon.

On a related note, the name “Twilight's castle” is used in the episodes Brotherhooves Social and The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows, tough those episodes might have only come out after the discussion was closed. And anyway, as long as the article is at it's current title, “Friendship Rainbow Kingdom castle” should at the very least appear bolded in the lead.
