Fixing issue summary...

Thanks! This is looking pretty good. YES, config-basic definitely can be made more concise. Please do as much as you can on that!

So, I took a look at the patch as well as the text files. There are a few things that I think still can be improved:

   Refer to this screeshot for the steps below.

   // admin/config/system/site-information and take the screenshot.

   Probably this screenshot should go after the navigation step (which is how you get to see the page).

    _Site information_ (admin/config/system/site-information) to configure basic
    settings, such as the _Site name_, _Slogan_, _Email address_, or the
    _Default front page_ path.
    

    It seems like the part that says "to configure basic settings..." can be removed from this sentence. We are already in a section about "Configuring the basic site information", and the following steps make it clear what you can configure.

11. in source/en/config-basic.txt  ===== Configuring the basic site information
    
    . The very first thing which you may like to change is the site name: You can
    enter the desired name of the site in the _Site name_ field (in the
    _Site details_ section).
     
    . The site slogan can be edited by entering the desired text in the _Slogan_
    field.
     
    . The site's administrative email address (which is used as the 'From'
    address in automated email communications, such as registrations, password
    resets, etc) can be entered in the _Email address_ field.
    

    These three steps would be better as a table of fields and values. Maybe combine them with the table that is currently there about the 403/404 pages?

12. in source/en/config-basic.txt ===== Configuring the country and time zone
    
    Refer to this screeshot for the steps below.
     
    // To create this image, install Drupal 8, navigate to
    // admin/config/regional/settings and take the screenshot.
    image:images/config-basic-TimeZone.png["Time Zones",width="100%"]
    

    Probably this screenshot should go after the navigation step.

13. in source/en/config-basic.txt ===== Configuring the country and time zone
    
    . Choose the appropriate country from the _Default country_ drop down in the
    'Locale' section.
     
    . You can also change the _First day of week_ for your region.
     
    . In the _Time zones_ section is a drop down with which you can change
    the sitewide _Default time zone_.
    

    These three steps would be better as a table of fields and values.

    We shouldn't be using single quotes at all. Either use double quotes or italics here... probably italics as it is kind of a "new terminology" situation?

MUCH better, thanks! A few more notes on config-basic -- understanding-distributions looks great:

1. +
   Here are some sample values you could fill in:
   

   Let's make this a separate step. Something like:

   Fill in the following fields:

2. |Email address|Sitewide email address to be displayed|info@example.com
   

   I don't think the email address is really "displayed"? Maybe needs a different explanation of what it is used for?

3. Also, please provide attribution information for how you'd like your work to be credited for editing these two pages. Something like:
   

   https://www.drupal.org/u/ifrik[Your displayed name here] of
   http://example.com[name of the organization or company that sponsored the work]
   

Looks great! Committed to the guide. Thanks!
