Your new article
Hey, you've made an article about {{{1}}} that might have potential, but you should probably work on it or it'll get deleted. Want some tips?
- Make it long enough to be worth reading! Several paragraphs at least, and use section headers (using ==Headername==.)
- Describe Internet drama or Internet funniness related to the subject. Be funny! Remember that "OMG this is so ghey" is not funny. Keep it somewhat on topic.
- Put in a picture or two. Screenshots are your friend (Printscreen button on your compy, than paste with Ctrl+V into MS Paint, then save as a JPG). Upload pics in the bottom left of the sidebar. Help in formatting here.
- Add links to websites showing drama and lulz - may be examples, related online groups, whatever. Help in formatting here.
- Categorize it. God help you if it has no categories. Categories here.
- Above all else, make sure it's funny. Look here for help.
- Read How to archive the lulz and the style guide for extra tips.
- Read some of the featured articles to see what makes a really good article.
Sounds like a lot of work, but it's really not. Do these, and your article won't get deleted.
Put on n00bs' talk pages when they make a crappy article with potential. Use {{newarticle|Name of article}}.
