[edit]

Rapgyo1129, I wanted to explain that the sources that I used to create this article, Heroic Worlds by Lawrence Schick (page 394) and Designers & Dragons by Shannon Appelcline (page 105) both identify the title of this book as just "Orcslayer". (Actually, Heroic Worlds calls it "Orcslayer: A Combat Supplement for Man to Man", but I simplified.) I take this as intentional, because both books list nearly every other GURPS book as "GURPS Horror", "GURPS Fantasy", "GURPS Conan", or "GURPS Whatever", so listing it by this title seems deliberate. I don't have a copy of the magazine "Different Worlds #43" to see what they call it in the review. RPGnet and RPGgeek both call it just "Orcslayer" as does SJG's own website. Although it is undoubtedly possible to find it listed as "GURPS Orcslayer" on the internet, I am thinking it is best to go with the consensus that seems to be laid out using the available sources.

A second issue is the page move. Even if I could be wrong about what name this article should be at, a page move should never be done using copy and paste; a move should always be done using the Move function, as this retains proper attribution to the users who previously edited the page, whereas a copy and paste move eliminates the attribution. If a copy and paste move of some kind is ever required, the proper way to maintain attribution is to include "copied from Orcslayer" in the edit summary. BOZ (talk) 14:15, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
