On your recent edits to the Fallout New Vegas article

While I will be the first to admit I know little of the details of getting the modded experience out of Fallout: New Vegas, as a staff editor of this wiki, some of your recent edits to that article, such as the removal of LOOT and the Vortex mod manager seem like they've been done out of personal opinion instead of with a source. Statements like "LOOT is basically useless for Fallout: New Vegas and shouldn't be used for it anyway" and "Many expert modders advise against Vortex because it has tendencies to break the game" do not inspire confidence. If you can provide sources to your recent edits, specifically the ones regarding LOOT and Vortex, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Please keep in mind this scrutiny is only because of Fallout: New Vegas' perennial popularity. We get a lot of edits to such popular games' articles, and want to keep them clean and factual.

Many users have reported the breakage of the game because of the use of the Vortex, it's not intuitive and installs some of the mods wrongly. So I consider not recommending the tool that can break the game of the end-user, Mod Organizer doesn't have any of these problems and is completely safe.

LOOT just doesn't sort the game load order correctly. For New Vegas, the load order should be sorted manually by looking through the conflicts in FNVEdit or by looking in the description of the mods you installing. Sorting the load order through the LOOT can cause problems because of the wrong load order.

That makes sense. Go ahead and undo my revisions. In the future, please be sure to fill out the edit summary before submitting an edit, especially for popular games like Fallout New Vegas. It's there to explain a user's reasons for making an edit, and helps prevent unnecessary confusion and doubt.

Also, thanks for providing an authoritative reference and for calmly and rationally explaining your reasons for your editing! You'd be shocked how few users actually do that.
