Article Style Guides

<strong>Important</strong>: Write your articles locally, save it, then put it online. Don't be daft and write articles directly in the browser.

<strong>Titles</strong>
- Article titles must be more than 1 or 2 words and be as descriptive as possible.
- Good title example "game name RPG is now on Linux", it's only minor, but the game genre helps inform visitors and helps search engines
- Bad title "game name"
- Don't bait people with overly ambigious headlines

<strong>Taglines</strong> (Editors/Admins only, general submissions don't see taglines)
Article taglines should be something taken from the article itself, to tell users exactly what the article is about. Keep it short and informative.
Do not put anything unique in the article tagline.

<strong>Content</strong>
- No excess whitespace, articles should end with the last word/image/video ready for the comments, no extra uneeded spacing or anything please.
- No more than 3 videos per article page as it will slow down page loading rather a lot.
- Include source links for all quotes if there is a website available for it (unlike an email). Non-sourced quotes are annoying and don't give credit to the people who got them for us to use.
- Link the official website, you would be shocked how many people don't include a single link. Please include a link, please.

<strong>What to avoid</strong>
No linkbaiting, as in don't make something unclear to link to something else.

<strong>Article Rejection</strong>
It happens, and it happens a fair bit when we get duplicates or we decided to write about it ourselves directly. If you feel an editor used your work and didn't credit you send a <strong>polite</strong> personal message to them if they do not respond then personal message liamdawe the owner to sort it out directly.

PLEASE PREVIEW YOUR ARTICLE, the less we have to edit ourselves the more likely we are to not only approve the article, but approve it in a timely mannor.
