Hardly. Having a linguistic background does not make one a good writer.

Nor do I really want the same general description of events. I want less description. There's so much in these articles that simply does not need to be there; it's not necessary to describe the characters. Therefore, they should all be drastically cut down.

What I'm looking for, though, is a change in editorial focus, emphasizing that this wiki does not exist to recapitulate the show, merely summarize it in certain respects.

And I don't really care about people being unable to understand what happened. That's not the point. They should watch the show, not look to a wiki to explain it. A wiki is for quick reference when you don't have time to go through the primary source. It's not a substitute for the show, which is what it seems to currently be trying to do, and what you seem to be suggesting people are using it as. That's bad.

Yes. The vast majority of every quote page has no business being there. It's stupid. People just add lines, as if the purpose is to record every line of dialogue. At times, it seems as if it's getting close. Of the three quotes you mention, "You're fine," is the only one I'd preserve, as it embodies her acceptance of Ruby's combat skill. That's the only thing relevant to the show as a whole, and the other two are not particularly noteworthy.
