I hit Reply rather than Preview by mistake before I was finished. I'm not sure that the "ethic of ffxiclopedia for me is that it serves as a record of its users' game experience" for u is the "ethic of ffxiclopedia". I've never really considered any of the fan game help websites to primarily be that. It is to some extent, of course, but I've always considered ffxiclopedia to be primarily an, well, enclopedia of info, like Encyclopedia Britannica. By your ethic, it would only be a record of this website's registered editors, not the player base per se, in any event.

Doesn't mean that all info from whatever source shouldn't be checked first (no botting), which is what I always do, but I would rather see this website be the "one-stop-shop for all your Vana'diel needs" than to have players have to search multiple websites. We all know the player base is dwindling, and maybe back in the heyday your approach would be better served, but nowadays we're cataloging all the new info with less people all around. Perhaps just using the verification icon on the info would satisfy everyone, but I don't feel that would be necessary. Right now, there's us, BG Wiki, Great Blue, FFXIAH & Allakhazam forums to search for info, plus the occasional other, and the Japanese websites. Just my 2 cents worth.
