This thread is for tropers who have trouble with English and would like some help with the crazy grammar of this crazy language.

Write down what you wish to edit on the wiki. If you have been suspended from editing, another troper might be kind enough to edit for you after your suggestions have been corrected.

The thread is for help and feedback on your own suggested edits.

If you want help correcting other people's edits (e.g., if you find a page which seems to have grammar problems but want a second opinion, or you don't feel able to fix it by yourself) then that's off-topic here, but we have a separate Grammar Police cleanup thread that can provide assistance.

How about this ?

Stone Wall: While Nene is a Ninja, this is basically how her playstyle revolves around. Activate her illusion special, use a weapon with Super Armor Enchancements, and throw her safe, but low damage C1-2. Thats it. No moving around, no flashy combos just Tank your opponents attacks, while draining back lost health in the process. As far as playstyle goes, she is even more of a tank than the shield wielding Cao Ren, which is the posterboy of Stone Wall as far as Warriors game goes.

That is actualy one of the running joke during Warriors Orochi 1 and 2 Tiering where despite being a Ninja, she is the safest and most defensive character in the roster, at least beetwen the Higher tiered characters.

This is the summary :

"Nene: Yes, i brought this up before, but she is presented as an agile and maybe stealthy sliperry ninja girl. Yet in this game she is the ultimate tank. No, not some kind of dodging tank. She stands in one spot completely planted and with evasion(essentialy Defense up), Stability(Super Armor), Fortitude, Vitalty(the former is defense up, the latter is Life Up), and Drain(because Air and Multi have no effect(both are the most used elements for speedsters) and Agiliy is counter productive so it doesn't make her lose damage(In other words, Agility make her weaker than she actualy is)) she stands firmly neatly untouchable spamming c1-2 and occasionally buffing with stability class uninteruptability (better than hyper armor (power type) uninteruptability) while continually spewing radial knockdowns to stop enemies from actually doing anything. She is safe stable tough disruptive and consistent beyond belief."

Simmilar jokes are Kunoichi and Goemon is a fake Japanese

Okay, I don't play her that way... but anyway, to your example. Changes are in bold.

  • Stone Wall: While Nene is a Ninja, this is basically how her playstyle revolves around she is very effective as a wall. Activate her illusion special, use a weapon with Super Armor Enchancements, and throw her safe, but low-damage C1-2. That's it. No moving around, no flashy combos. jJust Tank your opponents' attacks, while draining back lost health in the process. As far as playstyle goes, she is even more of a tank than the shield-wielding Cao Ren, which is the posterboy of Stone Wall as far as Warriors games goes.

^I was just in the process of doing something similar... oh well.

As a bit of an explanation, "playstyle" as a gamer word/lingo (AKA: not in normal English writing) usually refers to players using the same characters in different ways. It is not a word that should refer to the characters themselves. (At least to my understanding that is what it means)

I would also expand on "her safe,but low-damage C1-2" (that is how I would write that particular bit). As someone who has not played the games, "C1-2" means nothing to me.

You can probably write something like 'first and second charge attacks'. Any more than that would require explaining the game's mechanics in detail, and I doubt a particular example is the place to do so.

Or describe the attacks themselves instead of how they are activated. The "illusion special" and "a weapon with Super Armor Enchancements" are semi-self-explanatory, but I just can't tell what the attack itself is. I can assume that they are Drain Health attacks from the rest of the description, but it should be explicitly stated.

(also, is "Enchancements" the actual in-game word? Spell check is saying it has an extra "c" for "Enhancements" or the "ce" needs to be a "t" for "Enchantments")

No, that's a misspelling I didn't catch. I'll check about the c1-2 in the game.
Also, the Drain attacks come from a weapon special.
EDIT: Okay, I think I'd better add a blurb to WO's page to explain about the attacks.
EDIT 2: Okay, problematic. What I have in mind goes into way too much detail.

Im just asking for the spellchecks...(not like i can edit this one because my privilege is suspended right now)

but anyway, C1-2 is basically "Triangle or First Charge Attack"

Thanks for the help though

Which is also meaningless to someone who haven't played the game (I did, so I know what you're talking about). Also, you've some errors in that post:

  • 'I'm', not 'Im' (contractions require an apostrophe).
  • I is always capitalised when used as a pronoun.
  • Sentences end in full stops (or exclamation or question marks).
  • First letter of the first word in a sentence is always capitalised.

Editing complete, Myrth.

In Tomb Raider, I left the earlier spoilered person and added Dr Willard alongside the other one. This okay and correct?

Taking

YMMV Brave Merida has also been paired up with Jack Frost from the upcoming Dream Works film "Rise of the Guardians", Ralph from Wreck-It Ralph, Hawkeye, Flynn Rider, Jim Hawkins and The Once-Ler. On the Les Yay side she's been paired with Rapunzel and Katniss. This probably isn't even all of them.

Headscracheses The Lorax: This is more about the fans than the actual movie. Did I miss some sort of grand fandom decree that stated "and lo and behold the Once-ler shall henceforth be shipped with every fictional character that ever walked the earth." Why him?

I think it should be changed to
