Just looking at the fileguides on this page

would improve many sections of the information greatly. Even with some of the errors that are in those fileguides. If you check the difficultylevels.txt file and its fileguide and then compare that to the October 23 Major Update to the Basics:difficulty section, you can see that about half of that information is either false or very misleading as to what it really means.
No research for presenting the proper information makes for a poor excuse for what is being presented. Oh, by the way, GF used to come to lounge to ask for input on certain points before he would link the pages for main public viewing. So he is aware of where to get some feedback for correct information.
