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.

Thank you for your help. Since that i still have my account suspended I'll try to get help on discord for the editing.
To be honest with you I am not cut out for the editing like I thought I was. I should probably just be in the discussion instead with is the only reason now that don't want to be suspended anymore.

From page 252, @Kazuya Prota
Ingress: Christopher Brandt, an altruistic scientist who wants to use the MX for the benefit of humanity is the creator of the augmented reality glasses used by the Collaborators. Using the Dark MX to , Brandt uses the Dark MX in himself. Brandt uses the Dark MX in himself to revive his bodyguard Jack. Searching for Sarah, a woman with notorious potential to control MX, Brandt blows himself up in front of her to activate her potential. <snip> Trying to devour Sarah in a last attempt to fulfill his goal, Brandt is defeated only due to Makoto's, the Ingress users' and Jack's sacrifice. Realizing that his best friend has chosen his own path, Brandt calmly accepts his defeat before vanishing.

Okay, <- comma they are more willing to help me than I thought and I have a little more information on one of the things on [[redirect:Webcomic/Supercell]]. <- period
Fiida speaks like this to her commanders to warn them about Khleilfai, <- comma who "throws around magical blue bullshit".
One of Deset's allies says a variation of this when they discover that [[spoiler:they're using a blood farm from prisoners as Zo-Ruoka fuel for their Khen-Rho, which will get them the death penalty in their home nation Kastina if they are caught.]]
The above will look like this:
One of Deset's allies says a variation of this when they discover that they're using a blood farm from prisoners as Zo-Ruoka fuel for their Khen-Rho, which will get them the death penalty in their home nation Kastina if they are caught.
It's when Khleilfai first meets Fiida, <- comma kidnapping Fallan in front of her.
Any more advice I would need?
^ Yes. Capitalize the first word in each sentence. :)

While Umi was forced to wore a baggy mascot outfit, Honoka joined Umi by going inside the suit as well, creating a perfect shape for the outfit while increasing the heat inside it, much to Umi's complete embarrassment. As they are practicing on how they move, they accidentally bump on Nico entering the club room. Given on how both Honoka and Umi are in the suit while falling down to Nico, god knows on what did they do inside it as they lost balance.

From the Video Game Arch Enemy page. I added information about Inferno and Elysium to the Soul series section, that I since deleted because I think that it could of been better said. How should I improve this?
Original Version;
- The Soul Edge and the Soul Calibur swords are destined to fight each other until the end of times. Soul Calibur was created specifically to destroy it, but the Soul Edge keep reassembling itself everytime and this has been going on for ages.
My edited version;

"May your heart be your guiding key"- Memetic Mutation

BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!'s YMMV page
- Memetic Mutation
- Many fans tend to make up fifth answers on the official pages' questionnaire posts, such as Ran's favorite food being Moca herself, or Ako needed help choosing an engagement ring to propose to Rinko.
~FigureGunplaFan, this post: the only issue is that Bumblebee, as a film, should be italicized.
When Umi is asked to wear a baggy mascot outfit, Honoka joins her by going inside the suit to create the perfect shape. while increasing the heat inside it. As both are practicing on how to move inside the costume, they accidentally bump into Nico when she enters the club room. Given how Honoka and Umi are in the suit while falling over Nico, god knows on what did they did inside after they lost balance.
- Memetic Mutation: A scene of the Red and Purple Tallest being comfortable to Zim's absence is seen as a metaphor of Nickelodeon Studios forgetting the show's existence/being happy for the show's cancelation.
This doesn't appear to be memetic mutation, based on the write-up. It's just describing an assumed metaphor.
~FigureGunplaFan, this request needs context. There are no grammar issues.
- Memetic Mutation: Some DC fans jokingly interpret Karen Fukuhara's performance as The Female as
herEnforced Method Acting based on her deteriorated sanity after her role in Suicide Squad (2016).- The struckthrough "her" is redundant.
- If you are saying something has degraded, it would be more appropriate to say the whole/undamaged thing is "deteriorated" (sanity), and not the damaged version (insanity).
- Memetic Mutation: Leave Ethan.[[labelnote:Explanation (spoiler warning)]]A third joke option that consists of abandoning Ethan with Mia and Zoe, leaving the Baker residence with Mia cured. Then again, Zoe would still get saved by Blue Umbrella and Chris Redfield, which makes the abandonment more reasonable.[[/labelnote]]

Unless the concept of leaving a fifth answer is demonstrably memetic, or one of those answers specifically is memetic, this does not describe Memetic Mutation.

Contributor for Gunpla Wiki. Currently suspended due to extensive writing issues. PS: I only wrote down what I saw. (audience reactions etc)So I did.
~owlcyclops, this post:
Firstly, please take a look at CamelCase. When there is a page you want to link to, such as a work page or a trope page, and it has multiple words, you put them next to each other without spaces, but with correct capitalization. Like so: SpySpeak will link as Spy Speak.
Secondly, take a look at Zero-Context Example. Your write-ups for Spy Speak, Freefall Fight, and Battle in the Rain need additional information to avoid being a zero-context example. All examples must demonstrate why they are an example of that trope, without having to look at the work itself. For example, what Spy Speak is used? What is it Spy Speak for?
While I'm not familiar with the work (and I'm not sure what page you wanted to add these to either), you should also review our spoiler policy to ensure your spoiler tags are appropriately applied.
A couple of very simple things that will improve your write-ups:
