Heyo. In regards to this, please keep in mind that all edits are shown under the Recent changes and posted in our IRC channel in real time. As of right now, you've been cluttering both the Recent changes and IRC with unnecessary edits, which make monitoring difficult for us and leaves out focus on more important edits. By using the Show preview feature, you'll be able to check your edits prior to saving them and should be used as often as possible to minimize redundant edits. If you need help on wiki formatting, then please check out our Help section. Thanks! User Wookipan Golden Strawberry.png Wookipan (talk | contribs) 18:03, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
Oh damm, I didnt know that i've made such a fuss, I mean I was just editing my own page to test out the get along with editing, alrighty then, thanks for warning me, ill making heavily use of the Show preview now that I know that every edit is being ducumented, sorry again and bye :D

Concerning your map strategy page edits

Hello! I've noticed that recently, you've added a lot of information to the "General Strategy" sections of the Community Badwater Basin strategy, Community Gold Rush strategy, and Community Mercenary Park strategy articles. Those sections have been empty, or almost empty, for a long time, so the effort is appreciated, especially with the level of detail you've been going to for each individual section of the maps.

However, instead of ordering each of the points individually, with subsections for the attacking and defending teams, it would be preferable if you could instead list the offense and defense teams as their own sections, with subsections for each point. I've already re-ordered the articles linked above myself, so you don't need to worry about going back to them to change the order, but keep it in mind if you take it upon yourself to write another page for another map.

In addition, and I'm not trying to be mean by saying this, the grammar could use a little bit of improvement. You seem to be using "they're" instead of "their" a lot (e.g, "the Blu team should be pushing out of they're spawn" instead of "the BLU team should be pushing out of their spawn"). Also, keep in mind that the RED and BLU team names are always fully capitalized, instead of just the first letter. Once you are done editing, you should re-read what you've written and correct any errors you've found before you finalize the edit. The "Preview Changes" button can help with this.

Other than those two things, keep up the good work! Editing articles in huge chunks like that can be difficult and time-consuming, so I'm glad to see you're taking the initiative to do it yourself. It's greatly appreciated. HitlineMiamo (talk) 04:04, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Helpful overviews

Hi there,

Please don't upload files with the "2" next to it, but rather just call it "[Map] overview with lines" (Unless you need 2 different images). Please also go see this and this edit, these things should be changed on every map page so far and in the future. Mainly being removing the large amount of whitespace and replacing it with {{clr}}, using the correct forms of you're/your and their/they're/there, as well as replacing the "Helpful overview" with "[[#Helpful overview|Helpful overview]]" to create a link that leads to the section.
GrampaSwood (talk) 18:40, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for notifying me, I didn't know about the {{clr}} option so I just spammed the enter botton until the strategy section got moved far enough below the image, but thanks for the advice :D Lolimsogreat21 (talk) 18:47, 11 April 2021 (UTC)Lolimsogreat21
'tis all good, that's why I contacted you :) I think the overview section can be turned into a template as well, but I'll have to see about that.
GrampaSwood (talk) 19:01, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
Uh...I've been wondering about this but whats a template? I didn't get the chance to ask this anyone so mind if i ask you.The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lolimsogreat21 (talk) • (contribs) 21:10 CEST 11 April 2021
It's basically a page that contains stuff that's often repeated on pages. The infobox you see on something like Scattergun is a template, for example.
Also I've noticed that you still make the same mistake of using "your" instead of "you're" and not linking the "Helpful overview" bit, please start doing this as the first is basic grammar that's not really excusable to get wrong and the second is just a helpful link. Also don't forget to sign your comments using ~~~~.

Alright, thanks for warning me once again. Lolimsogreat21 (talk) 13:41, 12 April 2021 (UTC)Lolimsogreat21

There are class match-up pages for strategy, if that's what you're looking for.

For instance, Scout match-ups. Would that make things easier for the huge project that I think you're undertaking? - InShane (talk) 19:59, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
Ay,thanks!
The Lolimsogreat21 thanking InShane

And yes, this will certainly help in anti-class strategy edits, thank you :D Lolimsogreat21 (talk) 20:05, 24 April 2021 (UTC)Lolimsogreat21

Great! Looking through, try to keep things to the point. The article wants to retain the reader, given how there are video guides for practically everything in TF2 now. Your information is 99% correct, but carries on a bit and contains a few grammatical errors. In the past, I drafted my huge revisions in Microsoft Word or a dummy user page. - InShane (talk) 20:15, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

I found a page that might interest you. Let's take care not to re-invent the wheel.

https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Class_Counters_(Competitive)

As I shuffled through the match-up pages and looked for proper sources, I remembered this page exists. Looking at the latest changes, it was another editor's major project last September. Instead of starting the rest of your versions from scratch, maybe this is the point you're looking for? This is specifically anti-class, rather than class match-ups, and hits up the in-depth competitive counters you're alluding to.

Side note: I don't want to put all 9 tables in a single sandbox. It's tedious to comb through between edits, as I do save every 3 entries or so. Back when we were less stable, it was entirely possible to lose a large editing session. -- InShane (talk) 02:29, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

Hmmm, Im not quit sure what is the point your trying to make with the stating that class counters exist? Are you saying that class-matchups are useless, anti-class strategues are useless, or just that my updates to anti-class strategies are useless.
Anyway, I can see that you've updated the class matchups very, very quickly, like you did it in just two days. I was expecting that this project would drag on for some more time, a week or two atleast. But you did it very fast, good work :D. So, im only planning to take a bit more detailed look at your updates and add some more information which could be useful, not to much information though. And after i've done that....well I guess that we can say that this project is finished, suprisingy quick.
And sorry for putting all the tables in one place, thought that it would be a bit easier to read.

Lolimsogreat21 (talk) 21:08, 17 May 2021 (UTC)Lolimsogreat21

It's an observation that the class counters page is closest to how you are approaching each class based on who does well, neutrally, and poorly against them. And uh, yeeees, I entered a trance and updated all the anti-classes to your format last weekend. I lurked through casual and comp forums from up to 5 years back to get a feel of the meta so the entries no longer said, "dodge him and shoot him." -- InShane (talk) 18:47, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Grammar on strategy pages

You seem to make the same mistakes in a lot of edits. Such as "duo" instead of "due" or "quit" instead of "quite". I'm not sure if you know anyone that's a native English speaker, but it might be best if you have a person spell/grammar check your edits before posting them. Having to monitor every edit you make and then correct these same few mistakes every time will get very tiring.
GrampaSwood (talk) 20:36, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Allright, thank you for warning me. I will try and make sure to not do this kinds of mistakes anymore. Sorry for wasting your time.

Lolimsogreat21 (talk) 20:59, 16 June 2021 (UTC)Lolimsogreat21

I am gently asking you to plan edits in a sandbox again. I shouldn't have to fix the spelling of words such as "medic" and "off" while trying to blend in your additions. The pages want to look good, not just be informative. That's why I spend my time here making them look decent. -- InShane (talk) 21:32, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Didn't really think the Sandbox was necessary anymore. I just wanted to add some additions, not rework the entire page.

Every major Internet browser has a built-in spell checker for multiple languages. For grammar, read through your entries out loud to force yourself to slow down and understand how awkward some sentences sound.
