:::I reworded the one in 20 sentence to "Some players assign about one dwarf in 20 to this labor." but it still seems out of place to me. Everyone plays the game differently, they can figure out their own needs for it. I for one just assign all my incoming immigrants, and all my peasants to it. --[[User:Turgid Bolk|Turgid Bolk]] 14:04, 24 November 2007 (EST)

Calling the process tedious and adding opinion really violates the whole idea behind a wiki voice and wiki style. Just my .02 since you asked for more than one opinion in your comment when you reverted Maximus's edit. (Executive Summary: Maximus had the right idea.) --Vanan 02:42, 24 November 2007 (EST)

I agree, the columns should be neutral. I for one find Stone Detailing useful. --Jackard 04:40, 24 November 2007 (EST)
I suppose it could be called "time-consuming", rather than "tedious", which may preserve the original intent while seeming more neutral. And it does seem time-consuming at lower skill levels, whether it's useful or not. (I know my just-immigrated Engraver's been smoothing the same 10x15 area for roughly a year.) Haven't built up a legendary Engraver yet, so I don't know how much faster it'll eventually get. The "one dwarf in 20 should have Engraving" recommendation does seem like it might be a little high to me, but then again, I guess I don't prioritize stone detailing the way some other players must. --Brent Not Broken 09:33, 24 November 2007 (EST)
