::: The basic fact is that many of your edits ''were in fact bad''. Again, see my analysis of the randomly-chosen edit to the Child Master page. You had made the lede, biography and personality section ''worse'' for no intelligible reasons. I mean this in the kindest possible way but please, just '''stop trying to abridge things''', especially ledes; it leads to loss of information, and to sentences which might appear clearer to ''you'' but do not to other people. | ::: The basic fact is that many of your edits ''were in fact bad''.

::: You should also never massively reorder a biography without bringing it up on the talk page first. '''The biographies on the main-namespace page cannot and should not match the Timeline page''', is something I fear you have lost sight of. The main-namespace page is not supposed to include any more speculation than absolutely necessary; e.g. for an ongoing character like the Dreyfus Master, even if you come up with a clever way that two stories ''could hypothetically'' fit together on a theory page, you should generally keep them in release order on the biography unless there are very strong in-narrative reasons to think otherwise | ::: You should also never massively reorder a biography without bringing it up on the talk page first.
