I Have to be honest here, i get that you are passionate about this subject, but i think you need to take a step back and look at what this is. Its a fan wiki, where fans edit content about a subject, and you seem to be taking this a bit more seriously than it needs to be. I Am not saying this is unimportant, but you seem to be very worked up over a small thing. As we both said, this is just a volunteer thing, and we all have lives outside of this. It just needs some perspective. 

I Think that i have addressed your issues perfectly clear, and i am not skirting the issues, because in reality these are not issues you need to be concerned with. Categories are a very straightforward thing, and do not need to be obsessed over or debated in such a fashion. Mechemik is absolutly right in his responces to you, and i would heed his advice as a content team member. I Get that you want to be prepared for the onslaught of information from the game but i do not feel like your concerns raised would impact editing and content creation down the line.

The whole non-issue thing, is exactly what i mean. You have created these issues where i do not feel like they existed in the past, and that they will have minimal impact in the future. Yes we need to prepare, but having "captains of lore" and "captains of gameplay" is not something we need to even think about at this time. You mentioned having a page with lore and no game info. This is a perfect example of a non-issue. A Page should blend naturally with lore and gameplay, and we shouldnt be dividing it up.

As far as i am aware, the divide between gameplay and lore, the categories (though this is mostly aimed at Mechemik), communication and the formatting/style guide are the only issues that you have raised (please correct me if you feel i have missed something out). As i said before, the lore/gameplay thing is done and i feel like my responces should be sufficiant. Its not an issue if the page is long if the subject requires it. If the subject is fairly complex then divide them accordingly. We are on the same page in regards to the America/Government articles.

The style guide/formatting of content is something you have mentioned several times, yes it needs updating, and as i said, let me know specific areas that need to be added/changed. You mentioned you wanted standardization and formatting procedures, but have not really given any information on what that means. From my perspective, you want this to mean dividing pages up between lore, having proper categories etc. However i do not know if this is what you actually mean or not. 

I do not want to belittle your edits, and like i said your America page is good, however i want more of that, and less of what we have been discussing. There are so many complex subjects that need a really indepth analysis, however we are arguing weather a page should be divided by lore etc. 

Its not that i do not care about my spelling and whatnot, but this is just a chat page, where we all feel the need to overdiscuss things to the point where my responces are long and bloated. Sorry that i have not proofread a 500+ word essay to you, but rest assured that articles and chat pages are not the same in regards to the editing policies
