I understand the sanctions. I was working to improve the article based on the notices on the top of the page. The article was too long, and relied too heavily on the quotes of others.

While reviewing the article, I also noted a lack of objectivity in language. In many cases, accusations from both sides of the controversy are presented either as "truth" or a "claim" of truth. In most cases there is no hard evidence that can be brought to differentiate between the two. Most of what either side says is a "claim" at this point.

I am not a gamer. Just interested in making something useful out of a page that can be of little use to anyone who isn't heavily involved.
