Hello Joew007, and thank you for your contributions to RuneScape combat, part of the RuneScape series. Whilst your edits are greatly appreciated, they have had to be changed, as they went into too much detail about the subject! Such a level of detail, that requires that a reader be a player of RuneScape, is outside of Wikipedia's mandate and is often called "Fancruft" by other editors. Some articles, some in the RuneScape series, some not, have even been deleted on the grounds of containing too much Fancruft. It is important to remember that: Wikipedia is not a game guide. all content must be of a neutral point of view. all content must be verifiable. The RuneScape pages are not written for players; they are written for those who may know nothing at all about RuneScape. In short, fancruft includes things like: Pricing information Quests and quest rewards Instructions for completing quests Instructions for how to use and perform a skill, for example "to make bronze bars you need 1 tin ore and 1 copper ore" Lengthy, detailed descriptions of items. For that matter, naming items at all. Use a short, very basic description instead, for example, the Abyssal Whip is "a demonic whip". Avoiding Fancruft Instead of giving a specific price (which is subject to change anyway), state, for example, "Runite armour often fetches significant sums of money in RuneScape's marketplaces" Never mention quests, the rewards from quests or anything to do with quests Never mention the different types of equipment or raw material used for a skill Never describe an item in intricate detail, or mention how to obtain it, for example, the Abyssal Whip is "a demonic whip", readers do not need to know that "the abyssal whip comes from abyssal demons which require 85 slayer to kill" Instead, use inline citations, linking to the relevant RuneScape knowledge base article. Please do not be put off by this! The RuneScape pages still need work! Furthermore, your great knowledge of this subject is more than welcome at the RuneScape wiki, a version of Wikipedia revolving around RuneScape, written for players, and where a higher level of detail is used.
