:Hi, and first off, thank you for the feedback! I must admit this was written with a fan's outlook, however, i do not believe i ever set out to grant undue praise or state falsehood. As you may have noticed, the history section exists, but is currently empty. This is because i am currently in contact with Tex and others in order to get an inside perspective in addition to the readily available resources from social media and interviews. I am aware that these must be recorded and referenced. I disagree with your statement that the article is not informative, as it provides a basic overview of the premise and dimensions of the series. To address the mentioned lack of objectivity, i will look into rewriting sections that may contain loaded language or inappropriate turns of phrase.

:I ask for leniency, as i am working not only on a delicate subject, that being: Real-Life contributors to both the Fandom and the Hobby as a whole rather than Authors or Artists, but also on a page format which lacks precedence (as far as i can tell). If anyone wishes to assist, the use of inline comments seems prudent. I also wish to call to mind that even an objectively written piece would have some arguable promotional character if it includes references to the body of work of a given contributor. The impression given by direct linkage may appear promotional or even have that effect, but given that there is no "offline" variant of the work being referenced, direct links seem to me the most reasonable option.

:In case a tl;dr is needed; i will try to rewrite the page to be more objective and concise. However, i do not believe any article on a non-canon-contributing person of interest will be able to shake the "impression" of being promotional by virtue of addressing topics, organizations and persons which may or may not be known to the wider Fandom and are not affiliated with CGL, Topps, or other rights holders. Larger Forum discussion on this Topic may be in order. [[User:T1MM5H|T1MM5H]] ([[User talk:T1MM5H|talk]]) 19:09, 26 December 2023 (EST)
