Hello ViralSorceress! Thank you for your inquiry!

I went back in the history of "Is Sal" and I actually liked your edit better than the current version. Generally a wiki takes a collaborative effort and so someone that sees things differently may change things. However, according to the history, your edit was reverted about 21 minutes after you made it, so it did not show up in the history when I scanned recent edits on that day. Now that you bring my attention to it though, it does look like a good edit!

Even if someone disagrees with an edit, as an unwritten rule I recommend letting the change stand for at least 24 hours so that others can respond. When it is "rolled-back" immediately it is more difficult to view it in the history. Your edit did improve the readability of the article, so I am not sure why it was rolled-back. Tibet would have to provide information on that front.

We do make an effort to avoid the impersonal "you" on articles... this was a struggle for me when I was making exercise pages. I used to say "You need to know your times tables" and then had to consciously make an effort to start saying "The student should know their times tables." I actually think to say "Knowing times tables may increase ability to do this exercise well" would be better, but that took too much effort for me as a non-language person! I guess my creativity is low!

I see no errors with your English, and in fact based on the original post it sounds better than mine!

I do have a KA profile, but I try to keep my "KA" life and "Wikia" life separated.

Thank you so much for your contributions. I think you will be a good fit here. I am going to revert the edit back to your version on the "Is Sal" page. We will let that version stand for at least 24 hours, but anyone with a reasonable objection to what Viral Sorceress has changed can post here if they wish (since comments have been disabled on articles).

I look forward to working with you into the future. Take care!
