​How to Write an Article

• Search the subject to make sure there isn’t already a similar existing article.
• Make sure you create a title with key words, so it can be linked to and found easily.
• Start your article with a clear and simple description of the subject.
• Try to make your article understandable to both experts and non-experts.
• Adding links and other sources to the other articles can help add more meaning to the subject matter.
• Your wiki should be neutral and unbiased.
• It should of an appropriate length. Long enough to provide sufficient information on the subject without including unnecessary detail. Be as brief, yet thorough as possible!
• Also make sure your information is well-documented – that all facts and opinions are cited from reputable sources.
• Don’t use abbreviations, as non-experts may be unaware of what something means.
• Follow standard writing conventions, including correct grammar, consistent verb tense, punctuation, and spelling.
• It is best that your wiki includes informative, relative images that add to a reader’s understanding of the text.
• Proofread your article to make sure it is clear and precise with no errors.
