Pet updates

Pet updates

Why are you making so many small updates to Pets and why? It seems like you are often removing information. You're also messing with the formatting a big, e.g. adding triple spacing.

I am not removing information at all. I am grammatically correcting the sentences.

The spaces make it easier to read. A big wall of text is hard to understand.

With so many edits, it's extremely difficult to tell what you are doing. And I don't think you should add terminology like appeal/repeal unless they are actually used in game. If a double space is not enough spacing for readability then that should be corrected via the style sheet, not triple spacing. Please revert them back.

Saiyr14:46, 24 May 2012
 

Appeal and repeal are the correct terms for the words summon or the incorrect word unsummon. Players should at least know how to speak the term correctly even if it just a game. I hope to enlighten others with the grammatically 'proper' term.

Ryuuri14:56, 24 May 2012
 

By the way I only double spaced, I have reverted them back to 'single' spaced.

What is grammatically incorrect about summon? Unsummon I can sort of understand, but those two words don't work for me. If anything it would be summon and dismiss, or something like that.

And no, I was speaking about the triple spacing in the plain text, not the result. You hit enter three times, therefore it's triple spaced. Double spacing makes the text interpreted as an HTML paragraph tag, which is what we want.

Also, please lump all of your edits into one edit instead of making single grammatical changes per edit. I can understand the need to go over the article multiple times, but you should absolutely be making more than one tiny change per edit given the volume of changes you're making.

Thank you, dismiss does sound better.

While editing I keep forgetting to review one part thoroughly and end up editing more than once.

Ryuuri15:09, 24 May 2012
 

It would be really really nice if you could try and condense the edits. I understand forgetting sometimes, but you've made a lot of edits!

Don't worry I am through with the Pet descriptions.

The article for the most had good English grammar specially the Rebirth and Miscellaneous. However, several parts in the article I had trouble understanding. Some sentences had words that did not need for emphasis and some parts did not have details why the emphasis was even there (i.e. Obtaining Pets). I smoothened the part for about the tint it is much more easier to take in.

Most of the article needed update, such as the Features. It lacked the idea of what some pets are able to do. I know 'Pets' will be linked to the Pet Category but I put in what seem to be missing because the Pet Category did not have description to begin with.

For the most part the data I included were info that may introduce the players to what those link are. It is understandable that the links have their own description but should this article lead them to the data beforehand?

Ryuuri15:25, 24 May 2012
 

I know there are editors that review most of all the information in the articles in the wiki. Through my review of some parts needed some input because they lack contribution.

It would be nice if there were contributors who will be as meticulous or tireless as I am. There are articles I would like to edit or even add on but sometimes I lack all of the data for my info to be confidently placed.

The Bandit page is my favorite - most of what is there was most of my input. I was glad that others have even edited what I put in and some even added what I decided not to put.

I would only like to carefully edit articles most useful to me and others. I hope not to make others feel their input was incorrect, of which they are not. Mostly I only edit grammar and some data that I feel should be highlighted and added.

I did notice why I keep editing some parts over and over; it was due to the article not fitting with the information around it. I would not like to talk about Alchemist skill if all my editing only contributed to information on Range Attacks in that article. It would not relate at all.

I'm glad you like making articles more readable, but it worries me a little that your grammar and language in the past two comments have been wooden and in some cases wrong. By all means I encourage making articles better, but I hope you're taking feedback from other editors about grammar like you did above.

Saiyr15:46, 24 May 2012
 

So far you are the only commenting about the pets and no one else.

If you meant about contribution I wouldn't know the scope of what others contribute. I am not judging that. What I am saying is that not many are active enough to update somethings most players have such as equipments. Those areas still have some parts lacking. What I mean is that I wish that the players who have these items contribute instead of leaving others not knowing.

I know there is a world of other things outside the game but it seems even though dedicated as they are to play the game it would be nice if they share what they know. No one can be forced to do this however, many other things that have been around for months, the articles dedicated to those certain things still more data.

Come what may...

You're still making multiple small updates to the pet pages. Just preview the page first and then continue to edit it from there.

I keep forgetting that, thanks for the reminder.

I am proving my case by going back and forth, playing the game.

Although, I am done for now.
