The basis of a "Wiki" is an encyclopedia. Information put out in a way for others to find easily. I don't know of any encyclopedias that contain 1st person narratives in them. I suggest your 1st person details "Here is the straight deal from the Dooobles" be removed. Also, Wiki articles should not use slang. It should be precise and to the point. I suggest removing the "(Porgue!?)" and the "(Do WuHat?)" as they do not conform to Wiki article context. Thirdly, you explain that "There is a lot of misinformation on the forums and in-game about the 'cloak/MWD trick.'" If this is the case, you need to provide sources to prove your case, instead of basically saying 'Hey, I'm Dooobles and I am right.' I understand that you want to keep your work and have credit for it, but you don't need to splatter your name over the article to do so. Readers can check the history and see who maintains the page.
