- =="We are the News": Eight tips for better notable posts==
- '''1. Remember journalism's five "W"s: Who, What, When, Where, Why/hoW.'''
- ''These are reporting basics. For us, DATES are critical; always include.''
- '''2. __"Use your words"__ (not just images) for Q proofs, etc.'''
- ''If you can't describe it, how is baker supposed to?''
- Text is important. People searching for your info in qresear.ch can only search on text.
- '''3. Use __RED TEXT & bold__ to call out notables. '''
- ''This REALLY helps bakers locate notables & avoid eye strain.''
- Always spell out the word 'notable'. This is critical to help the anons who use the Bakertools javascript; they can just navigate right through the notables IF the word is spelled correctly.
- '''4. Include article and video __TITLES__, not just links.'''
- ''Sauce on vids is usually sparse; try to include a date plus a short abstract.''
- '''5. For tweets, __copypasta the text__ too, so the info gets into qresear.ch'''
- ''Qresear.ch is a great resource, but it's 100% text.''
- '''6. DATES, DATES, DATES.'''
- ''Shills post old but jazzy news on purpose, then say 'clown baker' if notabled. Defeat this with dates.''
- '''7. If post is part of an ongoing dig, __say the DIG name__ so it's gets notabled.'''
- Don't assume the baker knows. An individual baker is not here 24/7 and they may not know.
- '''8. Only got JPEGS on your Apple phone?''' Then __use text instead__ (links, title, date).
- '''9. Go to step 1.''' Wash, rinse, repeat!
