Forum:Past tense or present tense?

On the talk page for the Main Page Red Head Rider suggested to keep this wiki in past tense. This is probably a good idea to make it sound more formal.

But I have a little problem with this when I write sentences like Isn't all of this true anymore? Are Charlie and Don dead? This is how these sentences act on me. – Tauriel 23:14, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Charlie was the son of Alan and Margaret,
 * Don was an FBI agent,
 * The LAPD was the Los Angeles Fire Department.
