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.

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 and 10.5 translation.
 * Avatar
 * 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.

Under revision

 * SAO Survivor School


 * Bercouli (Bercouli Synthesis One) - page done and chronology up to the end of vol 13 done.


 * Taruken


 * Thatch


 * Nori


 * Accuracy International L115A3 - done. Hopefully, I didn't leave anymore mess ups...


 * Yamikaze - done. Didn't really get much spotlight, even though he's supposed to be one of the best players.


 * Time Piercing Sword - done. Though Chudelkin mentioned that the sword has some "other side". Don't know what that's supposed to mean.


 * Jink - page done. Not really much material to work with.


 * Þrymheimr - page done. Here's hopping I didn't miss anything.


 * Thor - page done. Here's hopping I didn't miss anything.


 * Legrue Corridor - finished up the page. Not really much is known about it.


 * Lugru - did the page for the city. Not really much is known about it.


 * Þrym - jumbo article created. I'm too lazy to check Caliber SS if it has any other information about him.


 * Eugeo - did appearance, added a few illustrations and started personality. Will update if I find something else to add.


 * Rulid Village - finished revamping the article.


 * Ocean Turtle - article completed and updated with most available information.


 * Valet - page done. Might need some more sub headings.


 * Charlotte - page done. Not sure if anyone proofread it yet.


 * Urðr - article creation project done. The "Rock Giant Tribe" and Beast-type Evil God thing is confusing though, so I can't guarantee that I got that part right.


 * World Tree - article overhauled. Caliber chronology is a bit short though, but I'll leave that for someone else to do. Proofreaders would be nice.


 * Fanatio (Fanatio Synthesis Two) - article creation project completed. Needs proofreading.


 * Heaven Piercing Sword - article creation project done. Not sure if I should do chronology. Could use a bit of proofreading.


 * Conflagrant Flame Bow - article created, but I couldn't find much info on appearance (why so stingy this time Reki?). Not sure if I should do a chronology.


 * Floria - published the article. Not much info as expected, but that's not surprising, considering other SAO locations. Not sure if I should do chronology. Made a gallery so that we could let pictures speak instead of word. Only images depicting unique parts of the settlement should be added.


 * Deusolbert - article creation project done.... over 9,500 bytes... I should have known... I do hope I got most of the typos and errors out, as I am not going to reread the whole thing for anything that I missed.


 * Ballistic Prediction Line - article creation project done. Currently attempting to find unambiguous evidence how the sniper advantage actually works.


 * Bullet Hit Prediction Circle - article creation project completed. Currently attempting verify why the term in Vol 5 and Vol 6 is named differently.


 * The Four-Armed Giant - article creation project done. Hope I didn't miss or mess up anything.


 * Zakkaria - article creation project done. Not sure what else to include in the article.


 * Integrity Knight - article creation project completed, article published, but might need some rearranging and/or grammar and transition corrections/changes.


 * 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). Currently planning to add more things to it.


 * 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).
 * Boss Room - section overhauled.


 * 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.
