So yeah, thoughts? (Also, is the japanese name authentic? I haven't really paid attention to the hypothetical name that is present in the japanese game version (I'm really just wondering this as my encyclopedia copy sulkily disagreees with it)). ~ [[User:Sun Braid|Sun Braid]] 09:10, 8 May 2011 (MDT) | So yeah, thoughts?

::Oh, that is great!

Concerning the name
I'd just like to have the degree of officialness the name carries inspected. I assume that the current name, "Rosemary Manor", is derived from starmen.net's walkthrough; however, it is seemingly nonexistent in the game's text dump. The closest thing to an official name would I consider to be "Rosemary's house" (which it gets referred to in the item description of the Ghost House Key). It is otherwise just referred to as "ghost house" - even in the Encyclopedia (heh, which I might bring up a tad too often) - which I think would sound a bit too vague as the page name.
So yeah, thoughts? (Also, is the japanese name authentic? I haven't really paid attention to the hypothetical name that is present in the japanese game version (I'm really just wondering this as my encyclopedia copy sulkily disagreees with it)). ~ Sun Braid 09:10, 8 May 2011 (MDT)
