The most important thing is to never take things personally. Your contributions '''will''' be edited, changed, perhaps even removed - it's all for the sake of making this guide as useful as possible, none of it is ever meant personally. | The most important thing is to never take things personally.

That doesn't mean that you always have to agree with an edit someone else has made. Every page in this Wiki has a Talk page for this purpose - it's a convenient place to discuss possible changes to the page in question. If you think an edit was made that shouldn't have been, bring it up in the Talk page. If you make a particularly large change to an article, start a discussion of it in the Talk page, explaining why you've made the changes you did. Communication makes a community, and if we all discuss things civilized, we'll always be on good terms here. | That doesn't mean that you always have to agree with an edit someone else has made.
