Name
I always thought the Ziggurat was the building, and the Zigursky was the name of the prison. Might be wrong. It's reffered to as both.
- I've never seen it referred to as "the Ziggurat". Every dialog in which it's mentioned, it's "the Zig" or "Ziggursky Prison" or "Ziggursky Penitentiary". Where exactly is it called "Ziggurat"?? The neighbourhood in Brickstown where it's located is called "The Ziggurat". The building itself (which is the same thing as the prison) is not. I think the article title should be changed.

I looked around to see if I could find any in-game/official references to it being called "Ziggurat" on the wiki. Here's what I found:
- Souvenir text from Sister Psyche Task Force
- Debriefing for the final mission in the Sister Psyche Task Force
- Briefing for Neal Kendrick's mission "Defeat Freakshow in Brickstown"
- Description for the Warden Badge
- Debriefing for Peter Themari's mission "Get rid of every Longbow agent in the listening post"
- Contact description for Sakai Tamaki
- First article in the October 18, 2006 Paragon Times
- Article "Zigursky Guards Put Down Riot and Foil Breakout" from the September 20, 2007 Paragon Times
My impression (especially considering the last article) is that the real name is "Zigursky Maximum Security Penitentiary" or more commonly "Zigursky Penitentiary", but that "Zigarrut and "Zig" are nicknames. If you search for "Zigursky" and "Ziggursky" you find a lot more references than the few listed above. So I would support renaming it as well. -- Sekoia 20:44, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
- So is "Zigursky Penitentiary" the likely new name with all the other nicknames set up as redirects? -- Blondeshell 23:28, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
- I think that would be appropriate. --Eabrace 23:40, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
One other piece of background info I found is from the original Prima guide:
- The signature landmark of Brickstown is Ziggursky prison. This mammoth structure is most often called "The Ziggurat," and was constructed to hold prisoners with powers that would allow them to easily escape from normal jails. Other nicknames for the prison, used most often by those within its walls, include "The Brick House" and "The Big Zig."
To make sure we're specific and consistent on the spelling as we can be, I think it should be "Ziggursky" instead of "Zigursky." -- Blondeshell 00:42, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
Construction Date
Anybody know when the Zig was built? - Baalus Seth 14:16, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
- To the best of my knowledge, that's one of those as-yet unanswered questions. I know the date isn't in the in-game timeline. --Eabrace 15:12, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
