Hello,

While this wiki does sorely need editors, and I appreciate you for being one of the very few visitors who has bothered to try editing. creating articles with one rudimentary sentence's worth of content (Necromancy) or one sentence + a short bullet point list (Byandy Empire) is not a very helpful means of contributing content. The onus is now on me to make them into actual articles (or delete them for the time being) unless you intend to write content for them soon; unfortunately, as I have a deadline I'm already late submitting to, I need to prioritize finishing that before I can return to intensive wiki edits.

It is also worth considering, when one creates articles, how much information exists on the subject at the time of creation; I held off on both Necromancy and Byandy for a good while precisely because I couldn't justify creating either until we had enough info for meaty, not lean content. In fairness, I do concede there is probably enough canon necromancy info to justify (comprise) a basic article, at this point. Byandy Empire... well, an even more basic article might be possible now, I suppose, though we still know so little about it.

But I digress. Please be more considerate when creating articles going forward. I won't delete them, but I do feel uncomfortable about knowingly leaving those one-sentence pages up until I submit my research paper. Especially since the Byandy Empire article cites a name I don't recognize as the third-ranked sorcerer: "Barbette Vide?" This is entirely false; the third episode of Volume 3 states that the third-highest-ranking sorcerer is Utsurojuza (a name Yen Press spelled differently in Chapter 31--Utsurojuuza= but that's beside the point).

Please **do not** insert false information into articles when creating or editing them. If this was an honest mistake than I am curious to know where you obtained the name 'Barbette Vide' from, as I don't recall it, but if it was an intentional troll or vandalizing move, I warn you I have zero tolerance for vandalism.

I suppose those pages are all the more incentive for me to finish my paper as soon as possible... so that's something.

On a minor note, I would appreciate a courtesy heads-up about possible category creations. I don't necessarily think a category for the (technically former) members of the Byandy Imperial court is a bad idea, mind you, but I might have been able to suggest a more specific category name had you checked with me beforehand.

I am glad you cared enough about DMDP to see if it had a wiki, and then cared enough to edit, at the end of the day. The wiki development will continue to be very slow if there is only one person making intensive edits w/the occasional help of 1-2 other editors who (like me) also have other wikis they're responsible for contributing to.

It's back to my paper for me; if I know what is good for me, I will abstain from further wiki activity until this paper is done--so, if you respond to this or my other message, know that I may not be able to immediately respond.

Edit: I do recognize quite a few of the articles on this wiki are undeniably stubs in and of themselves; however, they are at least properly formatted and still provide more info than a single sentence.
