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. I first only intended to do grammar changes, but later started working on more serious projects and later ended up being one of the only people who cover new content, as well as a feed camper, uniformity and quality nazi etc.

Right now, I'm an active member of the community, senior editor and can be found nearly every day on the chat.

 * 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.

 * Starcraft II - taking a break from it.
 * Command & Conquer series
 * Firefall
 * Deus Ex
 * Fallout 3

Other

 * Project Alicization - put in the most work on this article and it is 1 of my most favourite arcs and concepts.
 * Soul Translator - put in quite a bit of work on it.

Pages that need new images

 * Fragrant Olive Sword - most of the sword is not visible.
 * Conflagrant Flame Bow - empty space in the middle.
 * Beater needs a more distinctive image.

Things to do

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

 * Higa Takeru - planning to expand the article, when I have the time.

Alicization arc
(Draft)
 * Working on multiple articles, related to the arc, at the same time:

''Work on UW in progress. Updates published as sections are done to make editing and proofreading easier.''
 * 1) Project Alicization - published. Will add more information as it becomes available with the new novels.
 * 2) Soul Translator - published. Still planning to do some improvements. Grammar and spelling checks by other editors would also be useful.
 * 3) Underworld - in progress

Game Mechanics

 * Weapon Enhancement system
 * Relationship system
 * Inventory and Trading system
 * Housing and Merchanting system

Secondary projects

 * Sword Art Online - Progressive - waiting for chapter 10, 10.5 and 11 translation.
 * Volume 12

Pages that I am planing to create

 * Articles for quests.

Completed major projects

 * SAO locations - did articles for most settlements (that were missing articles) and all missing floors (all except 1st and 2nd).
 * UW locations - did/improved the articles for all currently known Underworld locations that had enough content.


 * Sword Skills - created pages for 24 Sword Skills, as well as revamped one existing page. .gifs were provided by Insanemaster while 1caiser helped with Starburst Stream's description.

Useful links

 * Sword Art Online Wiki:New Page Templates (for creating certain types of pages on the wiki; unused headings should be deleted for that page.)
