User:Gsimenas

I am just a simple gymnasium student, who got interested in SAO after stumbling up on the anime sometime in late November or early December. A short while after the anime ended, I moved on to reading the LNs, at first to see how they differed from the anime. I was planning to wait for confirmation on whether there would be a second season of the anime before continuing to read the novels after the Fairy Dance arc, but my curiosity got the best of me, and I decided to continue reading the novels anyway, spending all of my free time on it. After finishing the last of the currently released and translated novels and browsing the wiki, I stumbled on a few articles that seemed rather illiterate for an English wiki and, having some free time and wanting to help correct some of the errors in the article to make it easier to read, I ended up editing a few articles as an anonymous contributor. Even though I was initially planning to edit just one or two articles, after a few edits, I realized that I wouldn't be able to stop at just one or two article edits, so I thought it would be better to register, so that my changes would become more reliable, and here I am. Aside from correcting various minor errors in articles that I come across, I also started adding more in depth details to some of the articles and plan on continuing to do so for awhile, when/while I have the free time.

99% of the time I have the novel open in another tab when editing an article (except when I am correcting grammar and other not plot related errors in the article), but it is possible that I could make a mistake here and there, especially when publishing edits at 02:00, in which case, I am sorry for that in advance and appreciate anyone who takes the time to correct the errors I make myself. Since I usually forget to add any references to the articles I edit, if you doubt any of the content I add, let me know and I will try to support my content with references or correct it, if I turn out to be wrong.

Light Novels
I haven't heard of LNs until I found the LN for SAO, so I haven't read that many LNs yet (a grand total of 1 atm :D). My current favourites are:


 * Sword Art Online - the best and only LN I've read. I've become so interested in it that I've become an active editor on this wiki and made it my first and currently only wiki project.

Anime

 * Code Geass - the first anime I've seen and got interested in. The ending was definitely unexpected.


 * Sword Art Online - the first series that I actually rewatched...3 times... and still enjoyed it nearly as much. I really like both Kirito and Asuna as the main characters and, as I like games, I also really liked the setting for the story. Though I wish the supporting characters actually had more screen time and more ad intense battle scenes.


 * K (anime)  - got interested in it because of the setting and because of the detective feel of the series (detective genre comes 2nd after Sci-fi and fantasy to me; a combination of them is even better :D) I did like the characters and setting, but I found the series to be too short. The ending didn't touch me as much as I would have expected.


 * Shinsekai Yori - an anime that I randonly decided to watch and continued to watch due to its serious nature and because I like nearly anythig related to telekinesis and the kind. The anime was rather good, but the ending was a bit anticlimatic in my opinion.


 * Zero no Tsukaima - after I heard via a blog post that the author of the original LN died, I looked up the anime and got interested in it due to its setting. The anime wasn't that bad, though I'm not exactly a fan of fanservice. I mostly watched it for the plot, setting and sometimes for the humor.

Games
I mostly like strategy games, especially space-themed or at least sci-fi. I do fancy RPGs to some extent and like certain hybrid shooters.

My favourite games would be:


 * Starcraft


 * Starcraft II - taking a break from it.


 * Command & Conquer series


 * Firefall - currently playing it.


 * Deus Ex


 * Fallout 3

My favorite pages

 * Yggdrasil City - as I created the article :P
 * Extra Skills - same as above.
 * Project Alicization - put in the most work on this article and it is 1 of my most favourite arcs and concepts.

Projects
Just to make it easier to track which pages I am planning to work on/working on, I've decided to list them here (in random order). I will work on other random pages as well (probably without even making a note of working on them, if I do a single edit on the spot), usually the ones that show up on the wiki activity feed, when I have the time... or just read the article and have the urge to edit it right away. Whichever comes first (most likely the latter).

Pages that I am planning to work on

 * Asuna - planning to add more details to the ALO section.
 * Higa Takeru - planning to expand the article, when I have the time.
 * World Tree - planning to expand the article.
 * Rulid Village - might work on this as a side project while working on the Alicization project.
 * ALfheim Online - article standardization and overhaul (similar to P.A.). Will only be done after the Alicization arc overhaul project.

Alicization arc ( draft )

 * Working on multiple articles, related to the arc, at the same time:

''Working on the STL draft with MPA. Finished my part of the article, now reviewing the draft for any possible improvements.''
 * 1) Project Alicization - published. Will add more information as it becomes available with the new novels.
 * 2) Soul Translator - first draft of my part (Introduction, Fluctlights and Fluctlight Translation) done. Waiting for MPA to finish his part, working on improving my draft.
 * 3) Underworld
 * I might also create the following pages (if I see the need to seperate them from the articles above):


 * 1) Taboo Index (new page in terminology) Edit: will probably settle for a section in UW.


 * FullDive - the part about the STL will have to be rewritten after the actual article overhaul project is done.

Secondary projects

 * Kirito - planning to add more details to the ALO section. Work in progress, will do it in parts.  First  Second edit published, still working on writing the rest. Might take awhile. My edits will be rather long and likely overdetailed, so if anyone could look through my edits to remove unnecessary details, I'd be grateful. Currently on hold until I complete the project above (or have spare time away from other projects).


 * Eugeo - planning to create a section for his appearance (done), personality and expand the Alicization Turning section ( someone else is doing it). Also, planning to add some photos to the article to make it look less of a wall of text (done). Will work on personality when I have the free time.


 * Ocean Turtle - article updated with most available information. Might also try to scavange for information for Inner Appearance. Also, I have no idea where to place some of the information, so I added it to the trivia for now. If possible, a more suitable heading should be created.


 * Boss Room - preliminary draft done. Wondering whether I should actually make a separate page for it and looking for anything else I could add.

Pages that I am planing to create

 * The 27th floor boss (New Aincrad).
 * Master Sword Academy.
 * Integrity Knight - might do a page in terminology.
 * Central Cathedral - since Vol 12 will take place here, we might have enough information to start an article for it.

Under revision

 * Centoria  - article created and mostly done. Not sure if there is any point in making a chronology for Volume 11.
 * Divine Instrument - article created. Not sure if a category page for this should also be created.


 * Frost Scale Whip - article completed, but there is an issue with the reach of the whip. It is mentioned that the reach of the whip can be extended up to 5 Mel with armament full control, but it can, for some reason reach Kirito 15 meters away.


 * Forest of Wandering - article created. Grammar check to be done. I'm not 100% sure that the Forest of Wandering and the Lost Forest are one and the same. Should be changed if proven that they are separate.


 * Behemoth - article expansion project done. Grammar check to be done.


 * Project Alicization - overhaul project published. Possible minor grammar and similar errors; more information could always be added (if it comes available).


 * Dungeon - corrected a fact error by separating dungeons into labyrinths and sub dungeons, added a list of known sub-dungeons. Did not add a reference though (Vol 2 Black Swordsman part 1).


 * Extra Skills - due to a user making changes on skills, which reminded me that they weren't categorized properly, which led me to create a new category with, basically, only Unique Skills, I had to speed up my work on this article. Generally speaking, it should be finished, as there isn't much of anything else to add to the article, but I'll keep this listed here, in case of any mistakes or new information appearing later on.


 * Yggdrasil City - finished creating the article, but couldn't find much information on it. Might scout around the novels to find any other information I could add.


 * Aincrad Liberation Force - finished on expanding the article. Still needs reviewing.


 * Knights of the Blood - expanded the article with background information from "The day before" and corrected a few errors, as well as added a few minor details. Don't know if a chronology/history section should be done, as I don't really know what to add to such a section in this case.
