A few tips for your future edits:

  1. We purposely avoid pure quotes from bio cards for character intro descriptions. We occasionally nip a word or two, but as you'll see, they're almost entirely paraphrases, revised summaries and so on. This is usually because characters' personalities don't derive purely from the bio cards; they're also taken from depictions in the comics, cartoons and/or text stories.
  2. Just about any important bio card info that isn't in the introductory paragraph should be included elsewhere on a character's page. Before you add any facts to an intro, read through the whole article and be sure you're not repeating something unnecessarily.
  3. Some character intros and articles, such as Slog's, are written in character style—that is, in a style echoing an outstanding personality or speech quirk of the subject. In Slog's case, mimic his Yoda-like speech pattern, his bio does. Other examples are Wheelie, Sky Lynx and Pinpointer. Such cases are done on purpose and are not meant to be rendered into standard English prose.

No great harm done; just bear these things in mind as you continue to contribute. Thanks!--Apcog 19:26, 15 February 2010 (EST)
