If I seem dismissive of the whole issue(s), it's because I am. It's a fucking animanga series that, if there's any mercy in the world, will be put out to pasture by the end of the calendar year. Yet, when Elveonora disagrees with you, you act as though your firstborn child has been murdered. This strikes me as ridiculous.

I feel for your aggravation. Really, I do. A wiki should not experience any amount of turmoil over its information, and certainly not as often as this one does. But I really believe the wiki's current rules of inclusion are for the best: information needs to be provided in big flashing lights before any article can make an absolute statement. That's a basic necessity of encyclopedias, after all. If people dislike that, then they shouldn't be using an encyclopedia. (And don't give me that, "we're fans so we shouldn't be held to an encyclopedia's standards" defense.)

As Reliops points out with the Scorch Release article, the wiki can toe the line, achieving a middle ground where something that isn't said outright can still be mentioned on the wiki to everyone's satisfaction. I wonder if there's a middle ground to any of these discussions that hasn't been tried? (I don't actually know.)

And I do not ignore your contributions. It's because I'm aware of them that I'm being a particular asshole to you. You proved with your renovations to those articles in 2013 that you are able to make valuable and non-controversial improvements to the wiki. Now I humbly request that you do so again, in 2014.
