A few thoughts
- We might consider altering section headings to be informative statements, rather than questions.
- The article strikes a consistent casual tone and style. While easy to read, this makes certain information hard to convey or follow.
- Some of the information presented is overly redundant when compared to parent pages or pages dedicated to another PI-related subject.
- Once we take a brief pass at cleanup, we will be in a better position to make further enhancements to existing content.

- Devalt and I had a brief exchange. I wrote that this page is categorized as a guide and must follow the definition outlined by my prepredecessor Djavin UniWiki:Guides. Additionally, the UniWiki:Manual of Style clearly states that "guides, syllabi, and articles describing PvE encounters" have relaxed rules when it comes to tone (just CTRL+F "tone" and you can see the references). Thirdly, redundancy must be set to an absolute minimum to make sure information can be easily kept up to date. I even wrote a Wiki Ideal called "Maintain A Single Source Of Truth" on UniWiki:Welcome. However, guides can be self contained, but they also must be kept up to date by their author/maintainer. If a guide is not kept up to date, it means there is too much redundant information and that the amount of redundant information should be reduced.
