*If you come across reviews that are incorrectly formatted or in the wrong place, feel free to fix them or let us know by sending a link to any of our [[RecentChanges patrol|recent changes patrollers]] or placing the following category tag in the body of the article: <nowiki>[[Category:Reviews Need Patrolling]]</nowiki>.  On the flipside, if you would like to edit messy reviews for fun click [[:Category:Reviews Need Patrolling]] to see ones that are awaiting some [[wiki]] TLC.
 
 
 
*In order to better serve the [[AboutUs]] [[Portal:AboutUsCommunity|community]] it is preferred that previous reviews not be deleted, but rather that they stay to represent the entire review discussion. Counter-reviews are often the best response to a review that you may disagree with and they may be added just below the existing one.
 
  
*While positive and negative reviews alike are appreciated, profanity and personal attacks are not.
