View source for User blog:M88youngling/Article Accuracy / Bias + Contest Info

First of all, the previous contest I posted has been cancelled. I got kinda busy and also the only contest entry wound up being a private level so I decided to call it off completely. (Although, Eryk, your citadel level was pretty epic)

On a more important note, I've received criticism over the presentation of information in the [[The Dark Akatsuki|Dark Akatsuki]] article. I've been told that I left out a lot about the involvement of [[ShinigamiPhantom]] in the feud that split the clan, as well as his role in other events. It is untrue that I left out Phantom from the article. It is explained how he provided the old TDA members list, which led to the Protectors contacting TDA members and ultimately led to the dissension that ousted Bzrew45 in favor of HarrysBoo's leadership. However, I do notice that there is a significant lack of information about why Bzrew decided to have TDA declare war on Phantom's clan, the [[Enclave Remnants|Enclave Remnants.&nbsp;]]Bzrew never explained this to my knowledge, so we had no way of knowing his intentions. The best I and the Protectors' at the time could infer was that Bzrew was hungry for war. We were forced to use induction based on his previous intolerance toward Dogs Clan (although as we all know, Dogs Clan was a bunch of lunatics who weren't justified either). 

So, with that up in the air, I am interested in what people have to offer to contribute to any gaps in the page's information. I will do my best to make sure that the information is presented in an unbiased fashion, however it is my duty and my mission to make sure that the truth is preserved and upheld. 

I won't lie, I do have strong opinions about the Dark Akatsuki. Positive ones. I may write critically about this in the future. I was a supporter of TDA under Boo's leadership. In my view, TDA had a lot of potential, but it was ultimately wasted by exterior, destructive influences. From the information that is presented currently, it ''suggests ''(though does not confirm) that Phantom is in part responsible for Boo's rise to leadership. I'm not sure about the complete story to this.

Despite my positive outlook on Boo's TDA, I must present the information in an unbiased manner. Any information that is not supported by evidence are simply claims. Testimonies can only go so far. I often cite Polarlab's material on this wiki, and I urge viewers to consider Polarlab's own bias in his writing of his autobiography, his census records, and his timeline. 

Don't worry. We will seek out the truth together.
