Hey there. I appreciate you reaching out to me. :)

From what I've seen, you've mostly covered everything. I just have a few things that could potentially be addressed. The first is the use of "delinquents" and "Delinquents". Throughout the Wikia they are used inconsistently. I understand that it would take a while to go through every article and sort this out, but I do think that it would make the website appear to be more polished if we decided on one or the other instead of using "delinquents" for one thing and then the alternative in the following paragraph. Maybe we could decide which one to use through a poll or something? It's just an idea.

I've done a lot of my editing under the "Episodes" section and so I don't know if this would apply to many other pages (or any, for that matter) but I noticed something about the quotes section on those pages. This area in particular is something that I have to fix up a lot of the time because it is inconsistent with a lot of the pages. I'll try to explain what the format usually is because I think that it should consistently be this way on every episode page.

1. Generally, every name of the person who is saying the quote is linked to their page, even if their name has been linked before under that section.

2. If it needs to be specified who the quote is being addressed to, this is done in brackets before the colon. Also, anything in the brackets should never have any links, nor should it be capitalized or completed with a period, exclamation point, or question mark. Eg. Clarke (to Finn): [Insert quote here]

3. Despite the reader already knowing that what follows the colon is a quote, it should still have quotations around it.

4. If there is an action accompanying a quote that is necessary to be included with the quote for it to make the most sense, it should be put in brackets and should not be capitalized or finished with a period, exclamation point, or question mark. Eg. Octavia: (holds up a sword) "No, I'm not. Like you said - I'm a Grounder."

Here's an example of part of the quotes section in Pilot:

Bellamy (to Wells and Clarke): "I got a better idea. You two go, find it for us. Let the privileged do the hard work for a change."

and then. ..

Bellamy (to Murphy and Mbege): "If you're gonna kill someone, it's probably best not to announce it."

I chose these two quotes because Bellamy is linked both times and the people in brackets (that show who Bellamy is addressing) don't have links to their pages. If you think that anything about the above style for the quotes should be changed, let me know! This is how it is right now for the majority of the pages. I just think that this is something that could be clarified under the style guide for people to keep in mind when their editing, and especially when we start making the episode pages for Season 3.

I hope this helps! If I find more, I'll let you know.
