=== Player/Clan Biography Guidelines === | |||
This applies to both the [[/Clan Biographies/|Clan/Player Factions]] and [[/Player Biographies/|Player Biographies]] formatting policies, but please keep in mind the guidelines below: | |||
*Approach the player/clan with an empty mind and complete lack of bias. | |||
*Put aside opinions when writing, and go off of facts alone. | |||
*Avoid using speculation & anecdotes to write the biography. | |||
*Avoid generalizing ("The most popular clan in Galaxy") unless it can be proven with evidence (Graph or table with the members of other clans as we know it), and avoid comparing ("Unlike other clans") unless your claim can be proven with evidence (Prove that somehow this behavior is exclusive to the clan and no other ones). | |||
*Do not add unnecessary comments in your biography ("He thought he could kill my orca LOL"). | |||
*Avoid listing individual names ("X left the clan, presumably to join Y"), unless it is very important to the clan's history. | |||
*Avoid speculating (making assumptions). | |||
*Try to cite whatever you can with proper evidence. See [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Cite MediaWiki Help:Cite] for information on utilizing citations on the Galaxypedia. Also see the following: | |||
