Second, I mean, I noticed a mistake in that last comment, "themself," proper grammar would have it say "themselves." But, as you said, English is not your best language, and as Titan had stated, being an editor, in any situation, requires both a strong understanding on the language in which an article it is to be edited in, and the grammar for that particular language (which basically is the same thing as grammar deals with all aspects such as punctuation and spelling). If that is a problem, then editing for this is not particularly the best role for you.

(Sidenote: My main language barrier is due to the fact that I know this Wiki was started by using the Queen's English, and I use American-English, due to me being American (though I wouldn't mind using the Queen's), but since this is an American company and game, I have some bit of ethnocentrism that makes me feel as if it should be American-English; I did notice that the game spells "color" the American way, so...)

So, to give my opinion on whether or not he should be allowed to edit... Well, even though I stated the expected requirements for an editor, this isn't like editing for a newspaper or other media source, though you may know, I am very particular and specific with how the Wiki should be upkept, which simply is just as grammatically correct as feasibly possible. It should be a community-friendly place, so allowing others with language barriers to edit, seems rather fair. Really touchy to decide which is the right thing, I guess to simplify, if he can add to the Wiki, information not originally available, then as long as someone can tiddy up his grammar, then I think he is of value, and doing a decent enough job. If not... Well... I guess make yuor choice.

I did not say English is not my best language, I said "best subject" and I was born in it and have a firm grip, but just not good at wording.
