WAM queries[change source]

Hello @Thegooduser:, thank you for looking into my page, can I know some of the following "Good Article. Overall here's what I suggest *The Grammar be fixed a bit *Not too sure if this amount of red-links will be okay (If Red links okay, disregard this message) *Overall the English is Simple, but some parts could be simpler"

What are the grammar to be improved on? Specific areas?
The red-link issue is one I had discussed with BRPever on IRC. I am still awaiting consensus. Generally Asian articles are lacking in simple so we cannot expect all to have blue links, the red links concerns is valid but I will say (given the other contestants articles are full of red links), we give this a pass as it's not easy to turn all blue (and oh yes, one liner stubs doesn't do any good to improving Asian articles in a whole).
Lastly, what is not simple?

Thanks so much and I look forward to improve the article to acceptance. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 08:04, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Anyway, I made some changes to the text to make it easier to read, proofread the grammar and made things more simple. I had also removed some of the redlinks. Hope this is ok, feel free to point out more issues. Thanks so much. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 09:48, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Thegooduser Thanks so much for the pointers. Modified accordingly. Appreciate it a lot :) Actually just to be clear, for these minor changes, we as judges are allowed to change for the participants as it won't matter too much in terms of length, what we can't do is to add massive amount of text, sources and etc. E.g. if someone use & rather than "and", feel free to go ahead to modify them, but if someone article is 200 words, we cannot add 100 words for them. Of course pointers like these on talk page can be given too, will be very helpful. :) Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 08:46, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
