User blog:SethiXzon/A lack of bias and formality is key to a good wikia.

Lately, I've noticed that some have taken the initiative to clean up biased articles, but the inherent lack of formality remains. Allow me to explain both.

Quite a few of our wikia's articles are biased in the sense that while only facts should be presented, instead opinionated statements are used instead. Take the following fictional factoid about SONICTHEHEDGEHOGXX:

''Sonicthehedgehogxx is one of the worst ROBLOX players of all time. His places suck and nobody likes him except for online daters. One time, he was banned forever but the stupid, greedy administrators undeleted him. He has no life.''

The previous statement, while some of you believe this to be true, is opinionated and quite frankly, is actually of higher quality, unfortunately, than some of our actual articles. It also has a clear lack of formality. How can we fix this? To begin, we must remove any statement that another user could possibly disagree with, as such are opinions. Many recent articles here have much less bias than they once had, however there is another issue that must be rectified; formality.

Think of the quality of formality as how you would professionally converse with a superior, such as a head of a company, as a higher level of formality as compared to another user on ROBLOX. Compare the following sentences:

''Jim the Artist is known by most ROBLOX players as a really good artist. Lots of people like it, but some say that it is just a bunch of scribbles and that they don't like it. Jim kind of doesn't like Bobby because they fought and he doesn't like to talk about it.''

''Jim the Artist is a well-known artist on ROBLOX whose work while has been subject to largely positive acclaim, others critical of his work feel that his compositions are glorified collections of 'scribbles'. [enter a section about his personal life and an introduction on Bobby] Jim has a distaste for Bobby due to personal reasons that he is yet to disclose.''

Notice how the second sentence is more precise and seems like a quality and trustable article compared to the first article. Now, I can't say I expect everyone on the wikia to write like this, and I surely cannot force any of you to, but if you follow these steps, the wikia will become much cleaner.
