Recent Work
Nebulita I want to start by thanking you for all your work done on the wiki up to this point. The amount you have done in these past two days is staggering and at the same time, incredibly helpful. All of us are keenly aware of the problems facing the wiki and appreciate your help in dealing with them. Once again, thank you.

Now, I would like to message you about some of your edits which, while helpful, have also gone too far. I mostly blame myself for this since I have delayed writing a manual of style for so long. In the absence of this I request that you look to the Uprising arc on the pages of Levi, Mikasa, Eren, and Historia as your guide for writing. Please keep these shorthand points in mind:

1. A character's story section is written from their perspective in the third person. This means that a character thinking something is not to be included since the character you are writing for can not read minds. Example being that Levi's squad did not know what Eren was thinking at the end of 66 when he grabbed the bottle, and it therefore does not go on their story section.

2. If a character is involved in an event, every important detail is included. While subjective, you can think of this as any important detail to the story or character development. Even though Historia did not speak during the meeting where they discussed Pastor Nick's murder she was present and heard everything they said, so it would be included.

3. Our image policy is done http://shingekinokyojin.wikia.com/wiki/Shingeki_no_Kyojin_Wiki:Image_Policy and I would recommend you familiarize yourself with it. Any questions can be directed to myself, or Gourgeist who is an active Rollback user.

4. Our citation policy is also completed http://shingekinokyojin.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Miskos3/Referencing_the_content_in_the_articles and I recommend you familiarize yourself with it. As with the image policy you can message me with any questions/inconsistencies.

5. The big edit you made to Historia would be considered major and is generally something to talk with someone about. Nearly completely rewriting an article on your own initiative while being unfamiliar with our policies and being a member for two days is unwelcome. Please avoid such drastic rewrites in the future until you are familiar with our policies and have spoken with an active member of the community.

I ask that you continue to work here while keeping these few things I have mentioned in mind. I have been very impressed with your work and have kept several of your edits to Historia because they are well done. If I come off as condescending or harsh in this message please understand that I have no desire to do so. I am generally available to talk most of the day and will always respond to a message on my talk page within 24 hours. Thanks so much for reading :D --PrelateZeratul (talk) 01:39, February 17, 2015 (UTC)


 * Ah, okay, thank you for letting me know. I apologize for diving in without having read up on the policies. I am probably going to back off from editing for a while, not because I am offended, but because it's a massive time sink. I will try to return to contribute some more in future, however. Thank you very much for your message, PrelateZeratul; I'm happy that I was able to be of at least some help. Nebulita (talk) 01:43, February 17, 2015 (UTC)


 * I appreciate you messaging me back and being reasonable, it makes my hobby here a lot easier. I understand your decision to step back from editing since we have all done it before. As you said, it takes up a large amount of time which many of us do not have. However, I do hope that you remain with the wiki and come back every now and again to do some work. As stated previously, I am very impressed and kept a lot of the edits you made to Historia, along with the ones to Levi. Thanks again for your help. --PrelateZeratul (talk) 01:51, February 17, 2015 (UTC)
