Um... that overview is only one paragraph. That's not what I'm doing with these articles, so I don't need to adress that. If you want to write and overview for these characters, have at it. I don't really care.

I'm not saying the info is useless. I'm saying it is off topic for the articles in question. It makes the article looks awkward and sloppy. People click on Cannonball's article because they want to read about Cannonball. An article about Cannonball should be about Cannonball, not the entire history of the New Mutants whether the events had any meaningful impact on the character or not. The Articles are to be written with new readers in mind, and new readers don't want to scroll through endless info that doesn't inform them about the topic they came for.

For what it's worth, I also think the New Mutants article is too short. I think Wolfsbanes article needs more info about her Excalibur and X-Factor years. So, it's not all about hack and slash with me. It's just about putting information where it will be the most helpful. As I said, I've already been told by an admin that what I'm doing is okay. Feel free to take it to them, but I think I have a fairly good eye for when an article is staying on topic and when it's starting to drift off a bit.
