GB, I wouldn't worry about it too much. I've been through this too. I was the new guy, and I went through a lot of the same stuff that you went through.

You're doing a great job with the info boxes. It's a monotonous, thankless job. I've been through it before with the imageless pages. Even when you are the one doing all the work, others feel free to criticize without helping.

Some of the more... "vocal" opinions on this wiki can range from nit-picky to down right obnoxious. I've told you before, try to be patient. And let's all swallow the blue pill, come back to reality, and realize that we are arguing about imaginary magic items based on the fandom from a cancelled tv show. Lets not try to become those sci-fi geeks who will get into screaming matches over the superiority of Kirk vs Picard.

You've brought a lot of creativity to the wiki, and energized it. It's newcomers like you that keep the wiki alive. The older patrons are just concerned about big changes that would effect the site, as it also effects their fanfictions and rp talks. So please be patient with them. If you want to give a nerd a panic attack, just touch his action figures or comics. Right now they see you as a new guy smearing chocolate over their limited-edition, mint-in-box Spiderman.

As for the artifact creation, I wouldn't worry about it. While some of your artifacts haven't been perfect, the same can be said for dozens on this wiki. My first couple were a mess until I got the hang of it. Just try to mix up the effects and follow the template. As for pleasing Garr, don't hold your breath. Be like the bamboo; sway in the wind, but stay strong. Have at it with the artifact creation, but expect some creative feedback. With large changes to the wiki, ask permission, but state your case well by listing your reasons.

For the rest of you, remember that honey goes down better than vinegar. It is natural to respond to aggression with aggression, but lets rise above that. We've created something great together, so lets not tear it apart. Instead of being like every boyband ever and tear each other apart with fighting, lets be like the Rolling Stones and stick together until we are all old and disgusting and we really should stop.
