:::From my perspective; I'm excited about all this new timeline stuff, it's finally official, and I see I'm a few dozen edits away from putting together the pieces of the timeline puzzle, so I do my best to make '''legitimate valuable edits''', so I can get all my ideas down on paper. Apart from the 'cheating' if you want to call it so with the spreading out edits over SS -though still good edits, every single edit I've made has been a good, or at least well-intended one.

:::So the only thing I wonder then, is what is the problem with my edits? Regardless of my motives, does it really matter if they are good edits that would have been made anyway? [[User:Mighty Dekunut|Mighty Dekunut]] 18:14, 5 January 2012 (EST)

::::The problem isn't the motives, really. It's how you have tried to do the changes. There was no need to zap the Timeline Placement sections of the games and then replace them with a completely different section. You could have worked upon the pre-existing section and expand it accordingly to the changes you felt would benefit the pages. That's what I had meant by "hasty editing". I know every user has a different way to contribute to the wiki, but a good rule of thumb is to always take what's already on the table and then make the changes, corrections and additions, rather than discarding it without a reason. So hey, no one's trying to stomp you, we know you're excited, and it's understandable since the very last thing we all expected was the reveal of the timeline. But give time to things, it's not the end of the world. Proceed with a smooth pace. --{{:User:K2L/sig}} 19:15, 5 January 2012 (EST)
