So, I too am not very active in the past few years because of college and stuff, and I'm not following the translations as much as I did in the past, but I still want to help. After reading all of these and getting a better info on what's happening from everyone's feedback, I'd have to agree.

HOWEVER, I have some small things to add.

- Some translations, while more "correct" just sound odd in english. Things like Five Pierrot or The Fifth Clown, and even some names that just don't sound like names at all. Yes, of course we shouldn't be making decisions based on what "looks prettier", but in some cases it seems a bit exaggerated. We sometimes choose things that make no actual sense in our language for the purpose of "correct translations". Of course, I guess the opposite case it's much more common.

- I think everyone here agrees to how much we need servy's "translations", despite everything. We DON'T have reliable translators and he gives us an insight of what's on the novels. However, since they are indeed unreliable translations, we just shouldn't be taking it word by word. Quoting it should be avoided as much as possible and information we get from those "translations" should be put in the articles in a more vague way.

- On the topic of article length, I always agreed with making tabs. It solves both sides of the argument really imo

- Come back servy plz orz. No really, he has indeed but very inactive on the wiki which isn't really helping. And Servy, don't take this personally. Everyone is grateful for your job in the wiki, but some things have to be changed.

That's all. I agree overall with what everyone is saying here, though =3=
