It looks great to me.

The way I see it, new content for the wiki should be created from direct experience in the game rather than from articles on the other wiki.

Each month, as we receive updates, I post up a list of new items and changes to existing items. I don't automatically generate pages for all of those items because I feel that it gives contributors here the chance to go away and find the items in-game and record their findings. Instead, I could generate all of the pages based on the game files and visit reddit or the BG forums to find out how to get them and add that info, but then that would make this site more akin to a database site and hence the same as the other wiki.

This might be an unpopular stance - I've had a similar discussion with another regular contributor (User:Snorglepuss on my own Message Wall, if you want to read his perspective) who firmly believes this site should stop at nothing to be a complete resource of FFXI information. It might be worth speaking with him if you do disagree with my judgment on this - after all, this site is born from the work we do together.

Really, I just want to avoid any negative feeling so that I can continue focusing on the game and the site! :)
