This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-4302.
I really don't like how big the last image is, it kinda breaks it.
I can't seem to make it any smaller, though I'd like to.
This feels extremely choppy to me. The redactions just destroy the flow… unless I'm missing something huge… but I have to vote with what I see, and this gets a -1 from me
Hmm. Setting width to 300px didn't fix the appearance of the second image.
That aside, I like how this uses the old Series 1 style without excessively redacting detail.
This can be better.
The container for SCP-4302 is located within Site-812. It is to be constructed out of plywood and polyurethane foam, and must measure exactly 35 meters by 70 meters.
The fact the dimensions of 35x70 never appear again in the article and are never mentioned again make them feel like arbitrary values. You also refer to SCP-4302 as both a phenomenon and a ‘thing,’ further confusing the article.
Three times a month, SCP-4302 has manifested.
SCP-4302 occurs three times a month, every month, on the full moon,
The same information is repeated twice, and the second is not only clinically informal, but also inaccurate: full moons occur twice a month
There are pieces which are confusing, vague and ‘deep’ while still maintaining the character of and SCP article. I do not believe this does so. I do believe this is permanently the case, however; I believe that this can be as deep as desired without sacrificing the feeling this was written by the Foundation.

Are you sure they aren't mentioned later?
E: I just realized that the author put a new footnote after your comment. oopsie.
After edits, the numbers 35 and 70 appear again in reference to lens sizes (in millimeters) and 35 appears again in kilometers. Ultimately while the numbers appear, the dimensions that dictate containment do not.
As Veiedhimaedhr pointed out there are multiple inconsistency in this article but what sealed the final nail on the coffin was saying three times a month every full moon. They only occur twice a month. And not referring to the SCP as one name but switching it through out the article.
I am aware of that, but the choice of the number is deliberate
The "full moon" is not an instant of time, it is a period of time. "Three times a month during the full moon" isn't a contradictory statement.
That is correct, the fault was in my wording of "on the full moon" as opposed to "during the full moon"
This is a bit of a weird one, really leaning into redactions and hints while leaving what is going on very unclear. I'm always in favor of experimental stuff, so I've given an upvote, but I do think it could be a bit cleaner than it currently is.
