I read several articles and found them well-written and informative. Nice job!

One thing I think can use some improvement is curbing any personal opinion on facts. For example, the FS-500 article mentioned an aspect of the suspected prototype of that model as "obviously stupid". That's just an opinion and not reflective of the purpose of the prototype, nor does it contribute anything to the article. I say that not knowing who originally wrote that as it's my understanding that all this information is gathered from all different sources and vetted for accuracy.
Fixed that issue, and I'll keep a look out for anything of that sort in the other articles. Thanks for letting me know!

Unfortunately, I have realized another much more dire reason to move the wiki away from Fandom. Fandom Wikis apparently will be deleted without frequent updates, as they're meant for stuff like TV shows and other things that frequently have new information about them. This is a huge issue as there is a rather small amount of siren information out there in comparison to pop culture media, and once everything is written down already, there would be serious risk of deletion. I think the best action to take would be to merge with the old ARS wiki like Nik suggested, but also make it easier for people to edit it, as you currently are not able to unless you have an account and that is never made clear on the page itself.

Oh, crap. That's really not good. I do think the wikis should be merged then, to prevent that from happening. Who do we get in contact with to do that?

If you would like an account on our wiki, please feel free to directly message me with your username after you have registered. I have the authority to approve accounts there.

There used to be a role for those who had access to the wiki, but I guess this is no longer the case?
