Hello, StrawHatDogBoy, I'm very thankful that you're taking the time to help out with the writing of the Mutafukaz wiki pages! However, I'd like to ask you NOT to remove my "Under Construction" notices. They are meant to inform new members that the pages are not fully completed, and that we are still working on them! Some commenters seemed to show confusion at the bare-bones nature of the wiki, so I thought the notices would clarify that yes, there are people here, and yes, they are working on eventually making these pages presentable.

Secondly, I hope you don't mind if I give you a few pointers for what I think would be a better direction to take your edits.

First of all, when I started contributing, I immedietely decided to pivot away from focusing on the 2017 Mutafukaz film, since it's simply too short and sparse on details to base an entire wiki on. Since then, I've been focusing on the information presented in the first 5 volumes of the Mutafukaz comic, as well as some of the spin-offs, first and foremost. The movie is only mentioned when it makes changes to a character's name or design. As such, I would recommend you find a copy of the comics and read through them, so that we can be on the same page.

Secondly, a wiki is supposed to be a practical repository of information about a subject. Please avoid making long winded edits about how Luna is a "beautiful, sexy lady", or that Bruce was killed "without hesitation". A character's physical appearance is described once, in their "Appearance" section - it does not need to be mentioned in their blurb as some central part of their character. In terms of a character's state of mind, try not to make unfounded assumptions when there is no clear information to base it on. I write that Bruce is "furious" when he furrows his eyebrows and starts shouting. Popeye emotes little in the final scene; we don't know how he felt about killing Bruce, so just write "shot Bruce" without needless fluff.

Third, and this is a good rule of thumb, try to keep your writing as short as possible! Always examine and re-examine the relevance of a given statement. If the information seems trivial or unimportant, cut it! My own Plot Synopsis for Bruce is way too long and conveluted! Optimally, I would make it 25% to 40% shorter than it currently is, if I found the time to make a second draft.

Anyway, hope this wasn't too discouraging. Please keep contributing, but try to work on improving your prose; avoid repetition of phrases, consider the length and cadance of a sentnece. Broadly, I'm just glad to have someone else on board, but it would be a shame if I had to go back and "fix" most of the edits you have made.
