Civilization V

Are you still working on the Civilization V page? --Funkychinaman (talk) 07:40, 11 January 2019 (EST)

Yes, there's a few weapons I can ID that have to be added and I'll put the ones I can't on the talk page. --Tamarin88 (talk) 08:40, 11 January 2019 (EST)

Regarding some recent edits...

First off, I just want to say thank you for joining this site, and for all the work you're doing to improve it. That being said, I'm a bit confused by some of your recent edits. Many of them seem focused around paring down certain pages' text, which is understandable, but many of them also remove certain bits of interesting info in the process. Take, for instance, the incongruous file names for weapons in the CS:GO page, or the bit about the manufacturers of the Hi-Power on the Fallout: New Vegas page, or a number of other things. Sure, they might not be necessary per se, but there's no real harm in keeping them there (barring a notable exception, for which I am largely to blame, we're not exactly struggling to keep pages small enough); besides, if nothing else, they're at least interesting little tidbits of information. And while I can understand that you might want to make certain pages a bit more buttoned-down and serious-sounding, this can often make pages seem dry and bland - a certain user on this wiki has described some pages as "reading like a filing cabinet" or "sounding like an EULA". One of the main things that this wiki prides itself on is being able to provide useful, legitimate information, while still maintaining a certain level of lightheartedness that makes it more enjoyable to read. So, in the near future, I'll likely be rolling back some of your edits; I hope that this makes it clear as to why. Best of wishes, Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 18:46, 16 January 2019 (EST) P.S.: Also, regarding the Battlefield 1 info with the locked-back pistol slides, the main reason that I put the "justifying" bit in there is because you really can't notice the slides locking back on their own automatically unless you're really watching closely (or watching in slow motion), so anyone who's played the game and hasn't paid very close attention would take a look at your statement and think, "What? That's not true, I was playing the game just the other day, and I saw the gun lock open right when I fired out the last round, not when I started reloading." My explanation wasn't so much to "justify" as it was to "clarify"; without it, the statement might seem a bit confusing, or just plain wrong to someone who's not actively checking for stuff like this.
