Technical material

[edit]

Step back and take and look at the long term process of article building and article improvement. What good article is going to have this kind of jargon included? None. This high level of detail is great in the sources that we use, but is far too specific for a generalized WP article. Besides that, the presentation was absolutely hosed. Please leave it out.

What I mean is that yes, we can add technical material, but not in this fashion, because 95% of the readers would just skip over it because it's just a bunch of numbers and meaningless acronyms. I'm all for adding as much detail as possible in our eq articles; my friends can attest to that because I spend so much of my time writing these articles. How we need to do it though, is with prose, that includes enough explanation and internal links where possible to assist in painting a clear picture.Dawnseeker2000 19:18, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
