Term Needs Definition
I think that although an example was given to explain the term "free credits" it would help readers if a precise definition was given as well. SamiNickel003 (talk) 18:05, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

I didn't quite get the feeling you referred to, but do you doubt that the statement is accurate, or does it seem obvious wp:You don't need to cite that the sky is blue? You could have saved me some time with a statement as to why you are asking other editors to make edits for you, welcome to Wikipedia. Dougmcdonell (talk) 08:01, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
