User blog comment:Salubri/Outsider Looking In/@comment-Level of Detail./@comment-893506-20100620214255


 * 1)  -- Yeah, I don't see how it benefits us in any way to cut out a lot of information, especially since a lot of the detail we have written down is usually because of how much importance each point can play out later on.

Bleach isn't exactly a simple storyline to follow, and a lot of the information and detail we have written down right now for each of the Plot, History, and Powers sections are important on their articles. Removing information and detail can also potentially hurt the article later, because from time to time, a past point in an earlier part of the plot can be played upon later (this has happened MANY times before), and removing a lot of content can also remove some of those key moments that were needed in the plot.

Besides, I thought the whole purpose of a wiki is to provide as much information and detail as possible. If it's because this is more than some of the other wikis around, I think it's important to remind people: Each wiki has their own way of doing things. Not all of them are going to have the exact same rules, and the level of detail that is written on each wiki is solely depended on how active each member is, as well as how much work they are willing to do on the articles.

Overall, the deconstruction of every article here, as well as the elimination of many details around this site, can do much more harm than good here. If outsiders aren't used to the amount of detail here, then it's because they are either new to the wiki in general, or the wikis they've been do this far aren't as much detailed as we are.

And seriously, I'm more than positive that there are other wikis out there that have as much detail as we do (probably even more than we do).
