^CEshe^V Fails at the CS... and Reading

Finally. Something worth mentioning, even if it's only a minor thing.

Relative n00b Nikofeelan decides to add Hieronymus Lex to the various Anvil factions because he moves there during the Thieves Guild quests. Now that's wrong, because those pages are only supposed to list initial conditions, but at least the intent was good. Along comes ^CEshe^V and removes Lex from the factions list... then she removes the factions from Lex's NPC page with the edit summary "i cannot find any evidence of him joining, please verify before re-adding".

Perhaps she should look a little further up the page, where it states:
"When Hieronymus is reassigned to Anvil at the end of the quest Taking Care of Lex, he ceases to be member of the "Imperial Watch" and "IC Citizens" factions. He instead becomes a member of the "Anvil Citizens," "Anvil guard," and "Anvil castle residents" factions. His inventory is also changed to contain the keys and armor appropriate for an Anvil guardsman. Finally, he loses his essential flag and can therefore be killed."
In other words, not only did she fail to spot the obvious scripting that affects Lex in the quest, she also failed to spot the even more obvious big hunk o' text already on the page. And that's not very good.
