2024 Copyediting[edit]

I'm describing my logic here before this may become an issue. I hope others would read over this article as well.

I have just copyedited the article, and removed more than half of its prose. A vast majority of the article was a mix of irrelevant, unsupported, biased, hard-to-read, or otherwise unencyclopedic content as the article repeatedly described unnecessary ideas in-depth. For context, this is what the un-copyedited article looked like. While some information could be appropriate for other articles, most of it did not relate to Royalist.

Thank you for your copy editing efforts here, it is appreciated. It is something I wanted to do myself, but I couldn't pluck up the mental fortitude to deal with it. FWIW, I agree with your assessment regarding the removed material. The majority, if not all, of said material was added by an IP user who could not edit appropriately, effectively and collaboratively. Now the article has been pared back, hopefully it will easier to deal with any inappropriate additions. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 03:18, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
