Cleanup

I don't understand the reason given for cleanup. Zixor (talk) 05:17, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

There are many uses of the word "you", which is bad.Smoreking(T) (c) 13:51, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
Is it a good idea to change "you" to "The player" or "One"? If not explain why. ~Teh Blue Blur~~You're too slow!~ 14:05, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
I finished removing it anyways, look at it to see how I did it.Smoreking(T) (c) 14:10, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
Ohh, Impressive! (I wasn't being sarcastic btw...) ~Teh Blue Blur~~You're too slow!~ 14:13, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

On the topic of "you" vs. the "player," third person is preferable to second person, but the best way to do it is to change the subject of the sentence. For example, the sentence "You can open a door by pressing the control stick up." is better served being written "A do can be opened by pressing up on the control stick." Here, the subject of the sentence is changed from "you" to "the door." That is the best way to write wiki pages. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 17:52, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
