I have to disagree, Onyx. First of all, some might forget that this is a wikia. Various readers read articles here on a daily basis, with interest on how fans of Kishi have taken what he had given them to another level. And, you might not see it, but improving yourself and your skills as an author also aids you elsewhere (heck, my own vocab has significantly improved since arriving here). What will be of them when they read dull and typical BS here? Please, don't give me the "I'm doing it for myself" routine, because if that was the case, you would be writing into your personal laptop and keeping it there, not in a WORLD-WIDE site. Like it or not, it's true, you want others to read it or else you would not have made it here. Which brings us to the point of length. Honestly, which reader ever likes vague and dull articles? I mean, Shakespeare did not get renowned for saying "Macbeth was an evil guy". You must bring your characters to life, separating them from the endless cliche's that rest in the site's trash-bin. I remain neutral, but I think quality is something required, so we could be proud of our skills. If you right a personality with 5 lines, what's there to be proud of? There are endless ways for a person to react to various scenarios, and 5 lines don't fully give us clarity on it. Lemme give you an example.

"Bongo is a cheerful guy who is always happy no matter the situation. He loves his village and will risk his life to protect it. He likes everyone in the village and hates people who try to harm it. He is quite fond of his little brothers and is overprotective of them."

That's it? What would happen if those brothers had a quarell or they attacked the village. Choices, judgement, various reactions to various situations etc. What is so good about that? Its full-out stupid. I mean, is that the best we can do? If you just say your character has large and potent reserves, that is beyond the term Bull****! What makes him unique from the other trash with large reserves? How did he develop it? What makes him and his chakra special?! It's all vague and dis-tasteful. And please (to anyone reading this and bearing the following mindset), as I said, do not say "I write to satisfy myself and I'm fine with my work." cuz if that was a case, why did you not just keep it in the hard-drive and in your basement? Why show the entire world if it was just for your satisfaction!? Like it or not (truth hurts) this wiki can help you, and letting it fall into the abyss of shame and wasted memories is not the future I want for it. I want quality AND quantity.
