Writing style
When writing information, there are a few things I'd like you to follow:
- Avoid using pronouns (He, and she). Unless you're writing about a specific Pokémon, such as Ash's Pikachu, pronouns should be left out as you're referring to the species as a whole. (This also goes for Pokémon like Miltank and Jynx)
- Maintain neutrality. Avoid using words like "interestingly" or using casual speech as if you were speaking to someone. The point of a wiki is just to get the information across. Phrases like, "That is all" are unnecessary, and unprofessional.
- Avoid clutter. The Legendary Pokémon article is about the Pokémon, not the myths they were based on. We don't need a history lesson.
I think that's about it. Just take this advice and you'll get better at writing in our style. Thanks! ★Jo the Marten★ ಠ_ಠ♥ 23:59, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
