No need to apologize, you have every right to be angry. I was expecting this sort of response, and was actually debating for about a half-hour if I wanted to send that message to you or not. I'm sorry, but that mass upload and edit reversion just stressed me out to no end and I just had to address these issues again like I've done so in the past.

You're right, everyone has the freedom to edit here, and if this wiki had no active admin, I'd assume any sort of editing or format would be fair game. However, if a place like this is left unattended for too long, it just devolves into monotony like how it was when I originally found it. As the only active admin here (unless another returns for an extended amount of time), I need to make sure it upholds certain guidelines. I apologize if those guidelines haven't actually been spelled out for you, but I was hoping you'd have a general consensus of how to operate based on all of the previous conversations we've had. I won't fault you for the occasional mistake, but it's just been so consistent that it's become a problem.

And believe it or not, you actually have been helping me. I mean, that's one of the first things I mentioned in the initial message - "many of your contributions have been invaluable". But that doesn't excuse some of the issues that have arisen on more than one occasion.

I've been alright with most of the new articles you've made (I won't count against you the ones that I've "merged" into pre-existing articles), but it's really been more of the image uploading that I've had a problem with. I guess I wasn't specific enough with my edit summary before, and that's on me. But, even still, the fact that you uploaded a handful of them images that I had already uploaded to that page (how did you not see them already on the article is beyond me) tells me that you weren't paying close enough attention. I've been guilty of jumping the gun too quickly when making an edit as well (like the environmental hazards issue, which again, I apologize for), but sometimes it feels like you're extremely rapid with your edits without taking the time to revise them (for example, I've noticed you seem to make a separate edit for each image you place on an article, instead of all at once). And when I mention "pointless" and "unnecessary" I'm referring to images or articles which don't contain enough information to warrant their own, or images that don't fit anywhere specific. If there's no place for them, then yes, they're pointless and unnecessary clutter, and them being part of the game doesn't protect them from that fact unless they can actually benefit the related topic significantly enough. I think the majority of the images you just uploaded are a perfect example of that. I mean, did you really deem it necessary to upload every version of that "Lifter" enemy sprite? Maybe I'm overly assuming some common sense in those regards, but we only needed one.

Also, it would be wise to keep in mind that not all wikis operate the same way. Some can be more lenient with their content, and some just don't care (both, imo, make for a monotonous wiki). Then there are some like Wookiepedia, which is thriving with activity due to the fact that its an ongoing franchise. Even with a handful of admins managing the site, they can't consistently keep track of everyone, and they have that excuse (or maybe they can, I don't follow them close enough to know for sure). I don't consider this wiki to be "dead", but the fact of the matter is, until the remaster and SS3 come out, it's not going to be very active because of the limited amount of content. That's just the way it is.

Again, you don't have to leave, but I suggested taking a break in the event that you continue to avoid making adjustments to your editing etiquette (heh). It's just very nerve-wracking that I've actually become worried to wake up in the morning and check this place for activity. It's silly that it's gotten to that point, I know, but you must at least understand my reasoning somewhat, right?

And hey, I'm probably gonna regret saying this, but I actually have considered asking you if you wanted to be admin during this past month. I still think you need to improve on the aforementioned points first before I actually decide upon that, so please take what I've said seriously (and don't take it as a guarantee either). If you have any questions regarding future contributions, just ask me.
