Hey,

You've been doing good work so far with your recent edits, but there are some glaring issues you should be aware of:

  • Avoid writing in the 2nd person.

One of our main editing rules is that the reader should never be directly referenced (i.e. use 3rd person POV only). It might seem counterproductive to not use what looks like an easier writing style, but this approach forces contributors to be more verbose with written text. For some fixes which require multiple steps that can be potentially complicated, a high level of precision and detail is required. I also find that it's more "formal" compared to the 2nd person.

A good example would be my rewrite of a fix you added in for Battlefield 4.

  • For {{++}}, {{--}}, {{ii}}, and {{mm}} statements, there is no period used to end them.
  • The {{code|}} tag should be used over <code></code>. Functionally, they are the same, but the former is cleaner to use while editing articles. The latter option is only given if for whatever reason the main code tag gets broken when adding it to a fix.

Other than that, everything looks good.

Thanks for the heads up!
