While there's much peripheral information that might be nice to have, I think our first priority needs to be to correct the misstatements and errors in the current piece, improve the structure to better meet Wikipedia structural standards, and start including some of the more basic information about the Japanese side of things.

A couple years ago i totally redid all the Tech Spec info and have been guarding it like a hawk ever since.  I also reworded a lot of the Struggles In North America section so that it was quite a bit more neutral than it was before.

I contributed to both the English and the Japanese version of the PCE page, but everything was re-edited or deleted. This made me add "Hardware section" to the list of things to implement for PCEDaisakusen II.

Do you think it was a content issue or a style issue? If the style or structure of your additions doesn't advance the page towards WIKI compliance I could see them reversing the edits, even if they were factually correct. The WP editors may take the attitude that if the page isn't going to get better structurally then content changes are pointless.
