Not asking you to cookie cut it, but saying it nicely without a passive aggressive stance would be nice.

Honestly, I have so many questions/reasons to dispute some of your decisions. Would have been nice to get this advice before reversing.
Hi. I have explained the reasons for my reverts in the editing notes i left. I can assure you that there was no malicious intent on my end. Feel free to join the PCGW Discord server to better discuss edits and everything concerning the wiki.
I'd rather not create a Discord just for this. Guilt tripping people saying "I have seen A LOT of questionable edits from you" doesn't help people learn - you saying be more careful before that was enough. If not malicious intended, I don't want to know what you think is malicious.
For the reasons you left for the edits:
- I would appreciate what about my grammatical fixes were incorrect, or if 'grammar' is the incorrect term for the editing notes. The grammatical editing section of the guide doesn't answer all questions for it.
- Telling me "Key points are deprecated, do not add new ones" after saying "Instead of making intros" (which isn't correct as it was part of the initial release section, hence the time frame and critical consensus) "that are copy-pasted from Wikipedia, try to incorporate key points information in them" doesn't help when you just said they're deprecated. If key points are deprecated, then why do pages still have them?
And the points I wanted to dispute and explain for:
- For games that support different VRAM amounts, the page automatically adds "of VRAM," so with the method you lay out the figures, it says as an example "1 GB (Nvidia) of VRAM." I don't believe this fits well as a regular page with one amount of VRAM reads "1 GB of VRAM," which is the reasoning for me moving the brand name to the beginning.
- A company going out of the business isn't out of the scope of the website when the critical consensus was it was rushed, felt incomplete, and stretched for time.
Hi,
Key points have been deprecated for a while, but many older pages haven't moved over to using the new introduction template. So do not add new ones, and if you edit a page with any existing ones please contemplate translating them into the introduction template format instead. This means that instead of having a bullet and accompanied standalone sentence, rework/rephrase the noteworthy information into one better suited for a free-form text paragraph.
Also please note that PCGW has a focus on *technical aspects* of PC games, and so the introduction template should be written with that in mind. This means excluding general information that are not of a technical or PC focused nature, such as general reviewer receptions (except for noteworthy technical complaints), etc. A company going out of business would generally not be of interest unless it relates to an unfinished game that will not see any continued development or updates as a result.
I understand not joining the Discord server, though I'd also recommend it if you are able to. There are often a lot of minute details that can be worth learning about that our editing guide might not mention. Those are learned the easiest through Discord, as the alternative is to gain an understanding of them over a longer period of time of seeing edits made by other long-term contributors.
