 * Every plugin I choose for the check gives these 2 errors…
 * > Failed check_against_phpcs.
   > Failed check_against_phpcs_review.
 * Can somebody tell me what this means and what I need to do to resolve it? I certainly
   feel that even if these error description can’t be made more descriptive here,
   there needs to be somewhere where this can be detailed to better explain errors
   such as these.

 * Okay, noticed a response to this under another support topic (the topic title
   didn’t give it away to me).
 * Needless, my point about better descriptive errors still stands.

 * Hey [@dartiss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dartiss/)! The best option
   here would be to [file an issue on the plugin’s Github repository](https://github.com/WordPress/plugin-check/issues),
   so these messages can be improved.
