  • You can only curse those who literaly screw up the whole thing. This article has the wrong name, wrong focus, wrong manual of style, wrong tone. Its lacks neutrality as the in-universe point of view precludes it. It can't be salvaged unless you rewrite it from the bottom hence better to start again from a clean slate.
