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) | Hi Zaersk!

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) | |||
