Well, I would like to congratulate you on finally making some progress on your editing style. Your edits today (and several others this week; the ones where you added appearance and personality sections) were much better than your usual junk editing style, as you have finally started adding missing information to articles, instead of just making unnecessary changes. However, you still have a lot of room for improvement.

Here are a few things that you should work on improving:


 * Fact accuracy. As I have said before, this wiki is very strict on the validity of information on articles, thus you should ensure that whatever you write is correct. Re-reading your edits before publishing to ensure that you did not make any mistakes would be a good idea. You should also try to rely on information from the novel where possible, instead of relying on the anime.
 * "In battle, her original weapon was a lancer, but due to her fear of getting killed in SAO when attempting to strike the target close range, she now wields a sword and a shield." - an example of not checking what you write.
 * Also, avoid making claims without any proof and subjective speculation. Those are bad for accuracy. See: http://swordartonline.wikia.com/wiki/Kagemune?diff=64477&oldid=64476 as an example of subjective speculation that is considered to be bad.
 * Style. As this is a wiki, you should use formal style on articles. Which means that you should avoid being subjecting and using expressions like "pals" and "go-lucky". There are more appropriate ways to express such ideas.
 * Avoid redundant information. If the information is not really important or does not really talk about the subject much, then avoid adding it.
 * ""enjoying good times with his guildmates" - an example of redundancy.
 * Use references and examples. For personality, you should always try to add examples that would prove your statements, like giving an example situation that proves that the character is friendly, out-going etc. or, if such a trait was mentioned somewhere in the novel or somewhere else, referencing it would make your edits much more reliable.
 * http://swordartonline.wikia.com/wiki/Diabel?diff=64453&oldid=63500 - was a a step forward in this direction. Try to make your other edits like this.
