Hello! I wanted to reach out to you because of some of the frequent edits you have been making to character history sections or similar sections where you add random sentences without any attempt of connecting the sentence you add to the information surrounding it, giving enough time and effort to make it cohesive and concise to where people looking for information on our wiki could understand the context, and/or just adding really unnecessary information that doesn't lead anywhere.

You do seem to make the active effort of putting in information with good intentions, but unfortunately because you don't take the time to really work on explaining the information your'e providing with the single sentence or two you write up, it's hard to understand for visitors to where we either have to remove it or take our time into redoing it completely - in other words, making way more work for the rest of us.

Hereis one instance where I actually had the time available to me to add onto it and correct information. I did this not only for providing more accurate information, but to leave an example of how we write these sort of sections.

Your edit: "She meets Celty and Shinra. She kisses Shinra in front of Celty, makes him a child of Saika and kidnaps him. She traps Celty's shadow form with Saika, until Shizuo intervenes. She and Vorona fight Mikage to get to Shizuo and Izaya. She saves Ruri from Adabashi."

While this all does happen, here's the issue: you're skipping the whys and hows. Why does this character go to see Celty and Shinra? Why does she kidnap this character? How and when did she trap Celty? When and why did this character show up? If Shizuo intervened, then why does Kujiragi have to fight Vorona and Mikage. When did she stop fighting and meet with this other girl and for what reason? How did this character get from this scene to this scene? Point A to point B? There's no description or flow here.

Yes, the answers to these questions is obvious if someone has watched  or read the series, but we don't provide information to people who already know the series; we're providing information for those that do not and are looking for information or those that are familiar and just need a refresher. So having sentences like this that jump around the timeline, especially in this formatting, does not provide any more information than if it just wasn't there to begin with. It's just jarring and even more confusing.

And then there is general information being thrown in that doesn't lead anywhere. "She gives Celty a card for Erika's cosplaying group." Okay, that happens, but why is it important? If it's not important, it doesn't need to be added. There were some plot related information that was important to the story and characters that was discussed which is far more important for someone looking for information on here. When we write up these history sections, we have the book or episode open for reference and try to summarize it in a paragraph. It's very rare that we'll leave one sentence for an arc. There's a lot of information that happens in each arc even for minor characters. There's way more to expand upon here.

And you've done these sort of edits on multiple occasions. Like on this edit. Not only did the line you put skip details and chronology again, it just comes out of no where. And that information was partially incorrect too. I've only linked too instances of random information being put in and one information put in that was wrong, but there are more instances of this. Some you even skipped two whole volumes of material to add a random sentence of info from another period of time in the story, and of course, with no context so it doesn't help for visitors to comprehend the information being provided. To me, this also makes it look like you're unfamiliar with the series enough where I have to check every edit you make. And apparently this does not seem to be only happening to me, as I've seen similar notes made in edits by other users like our admin ChromeCircus did forthis edit - all the exact same issues I'm running across I've addressed up above.

I know you're trying to be helpful, and we've been trying to put in the notes as to why we undo your edits or why we revise them "don't do it like this, but this way" or general advice, and while you adhere to it in some instances in this one particular area, you don't. And now instead of trying to be beneficial and productive, you're creating more work for everyone else and I'm sorry, it's honestly tiring, especially since you regularly do a spam of edits over the course of 12 hours max. I really want to help you out and be a better editor. But I can't keep putting time into correcting you and giving advice if you're not going to even try.
