Unconstructive edits to List of RPGs by genre

Hello, I'm Apo-kalypso. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to List of role-playing games by genre because it didn't appear constructive. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

As I stated in my edit summary when I first reverted these particular changes: "Siembieda did in fact create the Robotech and Macross II RPGs; please note that he is in no way being credited here for the source material on which they are based." The original creators and licensors are clearly identified in the accompanying descriptions. Since Kevin Siembieda designed the RPGs based on these properties, he is correctly credited as such in the article – which, as may be inferred from its title, is a list of RPGs (for a similar case, please refer to the entry for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness in the "Superhero" section). I hope this explanation is satisfactory and serves to address whatever concerns you might have had regarding attribution of authorship. If you seek to change this a third time without first offering a detailed rationale on the article talk page, however, I shall be forced to treat you as a disruptive editor. On a related note, I encourage you to strive for accuracy in your edit summaries. Your recent edit was summarized as "spelling", which suggests that you corrected spelling errors in the article, when in fact this was definitely not the case. Attempting to disguise a potentially controversial edit with a misleading edit summary can be viewed as an act of bad faith. — Apo-kalypso (talk) 23:08, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
