• Most new users don't bother reading our rules. Here's the one that is ignored almost immediately upon signup: DO NOT ASK FOR FANEDIT LINKS PUBLICLY. First, read the FAQ. Seriously. What you want is there. You can also send a message to the editor. If that doesn't work THEN post in the Trade & Request forum. Anywhere else and it will be deleted and an infraction will be issued.
  • If this is your first time here please read our FAQ and Rules pages. They have some useful information that will get us all off on the right foot, especially our Own the Source rule. If you do not understand any of these rules send a private message to one of our staff for further details.

Neat little intro article. Might want to have an, um, editor, look at this sentence.

One other thing I noticed is that 99% of the article is impartial, but then there is this sentence:

Illegally obtained material such as workprints leaked/stolen from the studio are strictly prohibited, edits containing such material will not be listed on in our database.

Suddenly the article becomes endorsed by FE.org.

Right, when you say "our" database you are personalizing it like you are a spokesperson. Then the article is an ad or an endorsement not journalism.

It could be fixed easily with a few changes-

Illegally obtained material such as workprints leaked/stolen from the studio are strictly prohibited, edits containing such material are not listed in the database.

I also thought the use of the word "Our" stood out, now you mention it.

Assuming I am "you," then okay...the use of the word "Our" stood out.

:p

It was probably just copy/pasted from our FAQ/rules section and [MENTION=4587]FatherMerrin[/MENTION] overlooked changing the 'impartial typo' :)
