-UniBIOS allows several debugging options, and also access the database of individual cheats for every game. Therefore all achievements for Neo Geo need to be protected from abusing it. The simpliest solution here is disallowing UniBIOS usage completely, directly from the level of achievement code.
+UniBIOS allows several debugging options, and also access the database of individual cheats for every game. Therefore all achievements for Neo Geo need to be protected from abusing it. The simplest solution here is disallowing UniBIOS usage completely, directly from the level of achievement code.
 
 Fortunately part of UniBIOS data seems to be reflected in two address strings in the RAM: `0x00fe30` and `0x00fe50`. While UniBIOS is active `0x00fe30` in 32-bit size seems to always brings the same value (for every Neo Geo game) which is `80025632`, and it doesn't seem to change after the ROM was loaded. For any other BIOS, the value is always 0, (except for the moment the RAM is overloaded by the diagnostic program, after the ROM was loaded).

 ## What are DevQuests?
 
-They're achievement development-related quests that Developers can take part in at any time. Each one has a specific goal and upon reaching that goal, the achievement developer will earn the badge. DevQuests are not available for Junior Developers.
+DevQuests are achievement development-related quests that Developers can take part in at any time. Each one has a specific goal and upon reaching that goal, the achievement developer will earn the badge. DevQuests are not available for Junior Developers.
 
 ## General Rules
 
-1. For Set-Creation achievements other than DevQuest 015 and DevQuest 020, announce your DQ pick in [`#devquest`](https://discord.com/channels/310192285306454017/310195377993416714) or via the DevQuest inbox on site early on in your development. This will give us time to make sure any issues with the choice can be sorted out early. Late requests may not be counted.
-2. For Maintenance achievements (i.e.: DevQuest 001, DevQuest 005, DevQuest 04, etc), just create a column in the DevQuest Remastered sheet to the left of completed entries and fill it in as you work. Contact the DevQuest team when you are complete with all entries for review. For Maintenance Quests that can be repeated, one row of the column will be for which badge number you are working towards.
-3. For Revision achievements (i.e.: DevQuest 002 and DevQuest 013), make sure your choice is already on the corresponding approved list. You will need to satisfy the repair plan. These quests should be more than simple one-achievement revisions. If a repair plan seems to be overly simple, contact us first to ensure it will qualify.
+1. **Set-Creation Credit**: To be awarded credit for Set-Creation quests, contact the DevQuest Team via Discord ping in [`#devquest`](https://discord.com/channels/310192285306454017/842845740078334002) or via [site message](https://retroachievements.org/messages/create?to=DevQuest) within 1 week after publishing the set. Include a link to the game and which DevQuest it is being used for. (No need to do this for DevQuest 015 or 020 -- We handle those in sweeps separately). Note: Sets may still be disqualified for quality or rules reasons at this point. Contact us prior to release if you wish to confirm eligibility.
+2. **Maintenance Quest Credit**: For maintenance achievements (i.e.: DevQuest 001, DevQuest 005, DevQuest 04, etc), just create a column in the DevQuest Remastered sheet to the left of completed entries and fill it in as you work. Contact the DevQuest team when you are complete with all entries for review. For Maintenance Quests that can be repeated, one row of the column will be for which badge number you are working towards.
+3. **Revision Quest Credit**: For Revision achievements (i.e.: DevQuest 002 and DevQuest 013), make sure your choice is already on the corresponding approved list. You will need to satisfy the repair plan. These quests should be more than simple one-achievement revisions. If a repair plan seems to be overly simple, contact us first to ensure it will qualify. **When you start working on a revision quest, contact the DevQuest team** so the sheet can be updated; this lets other users know it is being worked on.
 4. Unless otherwise stated in a DevQuest's description, collaborations are not allowed.
 5. Standard set quality or better is expected for DevQuest sets. If a set appears to be of insufficient effort or a copy/paste set, it may be rejected at the DevQuest team's discretion. Rich Presence is required for DevQuest sets. The DevQuest team is happy to suggest improvements for qualification.
 6. New sets may only be applied towards one Set Creation DevQuest. No double-dipping.
 7. Always contact the active authors on sets whose content you will update or add to.
