:I'm not really impressed with TS4 personally, but I feel like C.Syde65 raises a good point - if users perceive that we're biased against a game they enjoy, they may be less willing to help us improve our articles on that game. I've seen a lot of negative reaction to the game on the wiki, and I think it wouldn't hurt to tone it down a little bit. Obviously everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But, something is giving users the perception that the wiki as a whole values certain content over other content, and that is a problem. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LiR</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 03:08, January 8, 2017 (UTC)
 
===Revival?===
So this thread has been quiet for two months now, and I thought it might be a good time to start discussing some strategies to get ''some'' wheels turning again.
 
I've noticed that the quality of the wiki has been on a progressive decline. I won't pin the blame on specific users, but it does seem that we're receiving more and more edits that are filled with choppy or poor grammar, typos, or otherwise badly written text, and there are too few experienced or good editors fixing these problems. The word I'm looking for is [[wikipedia:Copy editing|copyediting]]. Wikipedia has a [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Basic copyediting|page about doing this]] and even has a [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors|Guild of Copy Editors]]. While we may not get to something of such a scale, I think it's worth creating a few pages that will help get us on track about copyediting. Failing that, I think we could start a few "Copyediting Drives" of our own and work at a set of pages in a category or topic and copyedit those articles.
 
This is currently the least I, as a non-TS4 player, can do about TS4 articles, since I obviously cannot write much content about these articles. However, there's a lot of articles on TSW, and I can't exactly get to 12K articles all on my own.
