Article criteria


Specific criteria for editing esports articles still need to be decided on. However, here are some guidelines in the meantime:


 * Be sure to always write from a neutral point of view. Be aware of your own biases. For example, it can be easy to write praisingly about your favorite player. Instead, write objectively about the player's notable accomplishments.
 * Make notability apparent. Avoid trivial facts and instead focus on important achievements. For example, if a player has won an international tournament, their article definitely should mention it.
 * Search for good sources and interesting facts. The topic of esports is covered very well on the web, so we should take advantage of this.
 * Titles of articles about professional gamers should be whatever is the individual is most commonly referred to in reliable sources. Typically, but not always, this is the player's gamertag or in-game name as opposed to their legal or birth name.
