@
Woodroar, MMORPGs is ambiguous in whether is plural or the genitive form. My edits intend on resolving translation issues and increase readability for an international audience. My plan was to go through the whole MMORPG article using apostraphy "es" unambiguous pluralization as a progress marker through it. You reverted one particularly good edit where MUD'es get mentioned early in the MMORPG article just as it does early in the MMO article which I propose merging. Sorry for the lack of communication before making significant edits, but could we perhaps re-do those?

We follow our
Wikipedia:Manual of Style for punctuation and pluralization on the English Wikipedia. That calls for "MMORPGs", which is perfectly understandable in modern English—because there is no genitive case, as you probably know.
I've reverted
your edit again on
Massively multiplayer online role-playing game. We try to follow a "
BRD" editing style on Wikipedia; this means that you made an edit, you were reverted, and now you should make a case for your edits at
Talk:Massively multiplayer online role-playing game. I saw the merge tag on the article and I've already opposed it on the Talk page. I doubt the merge will get much support, but we'll have to see. Until then, the articles should remain at their status quo (un-merged) versions. In addition, your edit added several unreliable sources, like Slashdot and Steam; I suggest reading
WP:RS and
WP:GAMESOURCES for the types of sources we're looking for on Wikipedia.

You don't make sense . Verifing the sources doesn't require more than actually running the game then actually pasting in some German or French. Also can't you see that a separate MMORPG and MMO pages is obviously a POV-fork . Doesn't the pillar of neutrality matter more than those guidelines ? Appologies I was making the next edit already when you made the revert and wasn't quite sure how to handle the conflict ^_^;

I'm not sure what you mean by Verifing the sources doesn't require more than actually running the game then actually pasting in some German or French. As for neutrality/POV concerns, that's based on what reliable sources say. PC Gamer's own encyclopedia for
MMO links to
MMOG, which is a different definition than MMORPG.
