Hello Damien. I see you have attempted to start editing on this wiki, but you have had a lot of your edits undone. Since you and Wraiyf have bordered the line of having an edit war, I will give you a short moral and then mention what I feel was off with your edits. If you disagree with any point, feel free to comment about it and, hopefully, we can reach a mutual agreement through discussion.

Moral first: You should not redo undone edits without good reason (e.g. the previous editor was a vandal or made an obvious mistake by undoing the edit), as this may lead to edit wars, which are prohibited by wikia's policy. Thus if someone has undone your edit, please sort it out with that editor before continuing to edit the same page again. If you two cannot reach an agreement on your own, please call for an admin, or at least other editors, to intervene.

Now for your edits:
 * New categories on this wiki are only created if a decision is made by the editors on the forums. Categories should not be created randomly to avoid category spamming.
 * On this wiki, we treat everything that does not go against the original story as canon, thus if something happened in the anime that was not mentioned in the novel, but does not contradict anything in the novel, we do not emphasise that it was only mentioned in the anime.
 * Also, direct mentions of the medium should avoided on most sections, as it is bad for style and the SAO series consists of more than one medium. Only direct mention of arc or side story names should be used. If you want to highlight that the event only took place in one medium, please use references for that or find some other indirect way to do it. Direct mention of the medium is allowed on trivia, notes, sometimes appearance and any other section that can be used to compare the differences between mediums.
 * E.g. When you say something has happened in episode x, it makes it sound like the same thing did not happen in any other medium (although this is sometimes the case) and makes it sound like there is only one medium, when there is actually more than 1.
 * ALfheim = game (the game is officially capitalised as ALfheim Online), Alfheim = land (because the land does not have an official capitalisation, so we use the standard one for place names), ALFheim = wrong.
 * Use real names for real life appearances, in-game names for their avatars. Although saying real life Agil might make it more clear who he is for those who are not hardcore about the series, it is bad for style (the articles are supposed to be written in formal style) and is inaccurate. Instead we add (Agil) next to the first mention of Andrew on an article as a compromise.
 * Choose the proper section for information. Avoid talking about appearance under chronology.
 * Avoid adding redundant information. Irrelevant and/or unimportant information (e.g. talking about Klein not wanting Kirito to die, even though he did not go with him, on Kirito's chronology; it would be fine on Klein's chronology, but not Kirito's) should be used minimally. If you think that a fact is important, then express it in a way that will not make it look like going off topic.
 * Direct quoting should be avoided, as 1. It is bad for style (this ends up with casual style) and 2. It is not a real quote, since you would be quoting a translation, not was originally said. Instead of directly quoting, rephrase the quote into reported speech.
 * E.g. Instead of saying "‘My Masterpiece’ as she called it", say "which she called her masterpiece".

Although my post was as long as it usually is, I hope that it will help you with your future edits. If you have any concerns, let me know.
