Hi Zaersk! Thanks for fixing up some grammar and formatting. It's fine though when articles use second person instead of third person - it feels more natural to say "you" instead of "one" when writing advice for developers, and this wiki isn't so formal that we need to stick with all the formal rules. :) [[User:Britta|Britta]] ([[User talk:Britta|talk]]) 01:45, 21 January 2014 (PST)


That's a good question - consistency is nice, but I'd prioritize clarity over consistency. If there's a way to explain something in third person that makes even more sense than the second person version, that's great, but otherwise I'd just leave it be. :) [[User:Britta|Britta]] ([[User talk:Britta|talk]]) 17:37, 21 January 2014 (PST)
Cool, this is a pretty informal wiki though - there's no manual of style. The challenge here is to encourage people to write down useful information and update it; style issues aren't so important. Check out my recent edits for some fixes after yours for accuracy & clarity. Also, you might enjoy editing [http://theiphonewiki.com/wiki/Main_Page TheiPhoneWiki] too!
