I'm concerned about these entries that read more like bios on sim websites rather than encyclopedia articles. Am I alone in this? They sound like advertisements. I think we should establish a "guideline" example article. Any suggestions? --Sasoriza 21:08, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I think we should establish a "guideline" example article. Any suggestions? --Sasoriza 21:08, 8 November 2006 (UTC) Agreed. In fact, I'm pretty sure these are sim bios, just transferred here. The content itself surely isn't a problem, but it needs to have a more encyclopedic presentation. More neutrality, more facts, a little less fluff. --TimPendragon 21:51, 8 November 2006 (UTC) Right. But I'd still like to see some suggestions (if any) for a guideline article, something that says "This is how we do it". (OT: Like that one song... anyone remember that song?) --Sasoriza 11:59, 11 November 2006 (UTC) Well, wouldn't a character article be a mini-biography? And yes, I remember the song. :-) --Sneg 13:05, 11 November 2006 (UTC) Yeah, but there's a difference in the way a typical sim bio is done, and what's appropriate for an encyclopedia (even one such as this). Compare Tekari (bad example) and Alan Eyler (better example), and I think you'll see what we're talking about. And yes, I think there should be, if not an actual example article, then a side-by-side comparison of the right and wrong way to phrase things. --TimPendragon 17:37, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
