...what i find extremely frustrating is why you are so insistent on this. "warriors who believe in blood must have blood and dispose of their deformed kids" is not the only thing on there, and far from it. i don't even think the former is alluded to, and in any case, it was crass.

i literally just looked through the entire grounder page and i really, really, really don't understand why you want to make most of these changes. it's fine. it's fine without talking about how they're a """pre-industrial society""" or whatever. azgeda does seem hostile to trikru, yes - in the context of the show we are given. you want to make sections on technology and medicine, sure, that's cool, but again, why do you continue to insist on phrasing it in such a way that is non-neutral and, quite frankly, deprecatory? you want my suggestion? this is it: you could take pointers from passages present on the grounder page itself (e.g. the third paragraph under the header society) and format it after them, which are told in a fairly non-biased way. you could simply discuss, in clear terms, the medicines that have been show (e.g. lincoln's vials ?? from s1) without saying they're "primitive," can't you? you can talk about, hell, i don't know, how they use wrappings for bandages or whatever. you can go trawling through the episodes finding stuff, but anything like that is better than spewing totally speculative drivel like "healers are really rare and valued in grounder society," which we do not know to be the truth. where was it explicitly stated that "healers are rare and valued"? nowhere. that is mainly unsupported conjecture and thus has no place on a wiki page.

how do you even intend on elaborating on the four paragraphs detailing general grounder society, anyway? "where they came from"? they're "descendants of radiation-tolerant humans and doomsday preppers who survived the nuclear apocalypse 97 years ago." boom. "all the complexities we have observed?" what do you mean by that? e.g. polis? polis has its own page, which is admittedly quite lacking currently, and could use work. maybe polis could be listed as the capital city of the grounder clans or something (? pre-part-season3b?), but why add something to the grounder page that is better described fully, with more comprehension, in another?

"No, I think they are "among the villages of the wood clan"

confused here.
