Note to Self

Just because you haven't had any particularly ugly incidents with "Show Preview" doesn't mean that you can slack off. --LordKelvin 07:33, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Yo, about the class match-up pages.

I ran through and looked at the style guide for strategy.

"Strategy pages contain advice instead of neutral statements about gameplay, so writing "you," giving commands, being accurate and being brief are preferred to encyclopedic language. Whenever applicable, the scope of a strategy should be specified. In some cases, this will require phrases that are normally weasel words, such as "probably" and "on occasion."


Anyway, you know I'm already going through and revising those pages. So with the aid of the style guide, I'm against not using "you" to address the reader. Thoughts? I should be able to remove the cleanup tag once I'm done, right? Also, nice mech on the front page. I notice these things! -- InShane 22:37, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


The thing is, "you" is fine if used occasionally, but it sounds unprofessional when it's applied a few hundred times in an article (which it is on the community strategy pages). I would much prefer that it be used as little as possible, and if it can be avoided then all the better. --LordKelvin 02:36, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
