It's obvious that I agree with the anon, so yeah. I think if we don't do it this way the only other way to improve the wording and quality of article writing is to actually make better translations than the translations that the articles are written on--and of course, if we do that, the concern raised that there is no other way to get the info would be invalid by then. And it's not like we're just doing the barest of summaries here, Gallerian's page still covers a lot of what he does in great detail. It's just not egregious when trimmed a little.

Because I think fine details are still important, let me be clear--all of the padding and extraneous details comes from translations that exist and are posted for reading, here and on tumblr. We should be linking to them in the citations, for both transparency and for those who want to check exact wordings. (Although I think this second paragraph is a slightly separate issue.)
