Likewise copy-editing is fine. If the only edit you make to a page is to change ''hte'' to ''the'', that's completely fine. We love copy-editors and are absolutely happy to give them an advantage in the game. However, don't make tiny, unhelpful edits, like adding a random letter or extraneous space on a page. | Likewise copy-editing is fine.

Because this ''is'' a game, it's possible that rivalries might occur. Some editors may become fierce opponents. In the spirit of competition, some amount of taunting may ensue. Rough banter about the playing of this game will generally not be construed as [[tardis:no personal attacks|a personal attack]] by the administrative staff. If you're really bothered by another user's language in comments about this game, please ask them to calm down their rhetoric. If they refuse, then '''and only then''', may you ask an admin to intervene. | Because this ''is'' a game, it's possible that rivalries might occur. Some editors may become fierce opponents.
