Hey! Two things I'd like to say about the arc pages.

Firstly, as you can see, they're far from finished, and we do appreciate help in trying to whip them into shape. This can't be done effectively only working sentence-by-sentence. I've noticed a lot of your successive edits add one small piece of information at a time, like recently on the Hollywood arc page. While this gives you an impressive number of edits in the short time you've been here, because we often have to edit or undo them for lack of context or clarity, or misinformation, it really isn't helping the wiki grow. It would be more helpful to write up a summary of the entire arc and add it to the page, and if you don't have time for one large edit, save those sentences in a word doc and add them to the page when the summary is ready. Writing up the initial summary is work, but it's worth it to see the page grow.

It also isn't helpful to only add one piece of information from the middle of the arc when there is no context explaining how the plot and characters got there. It's true that Anri spied on the Yellow Scarves' meeting, but there was no mention of her using Saika's children to find it, of her learning that the Dollars are being targeted by the Yellow Scarves through the chat room, or of the implications of Celty and the slasher being seen together. It's also true that Shizuo beats Horada up, but without explaining that he was annoyed by Horada staring Celty down, and that she made Horada lose face earlier while he was harassing Shingen, it doesn't help anyone who comes here looking for information.

Secondly, the light novels came first and the anime is simply an adaptation. Therefore, we prioritize the events in the light novels - the canon source material. In addition to your recent edit to the Yellow Scarves arc page lacking context, I removed it because the scene where Horada chases Anri is anime-exclusive.

I'd like to extend another invitation to join the discord server and be a part of our wiki dicussions. It's not all business; the other editors are pretty good company. Talk to you later!
