Wikipedia:Year in Review guidelines

Each Year in Review article will be a part of the new Year in Review category scheme. These articles will highlight events and people that made the news. Here is a basic style guide for Year in Review articles.

Listing subjects
There are just a few broad subjects from which others branch. At present there is (much needs to be added):
 * Arts and Entertainment
 * Film
 * Television
 * Music
 * Politics
 * Sport

Presenting numerical data
The following is bad:
 * Dr. Suess' work, How the Grinch Stole Christmas grossed $259,951,325 at the box office.

The following is better:
 * Dr. Suess' work, How the Grinch Stole Christmas grossed $260 million at the box office.

Not a big change, but rounding the figure up to a more human friendly number just helps make this look less like a spread sheet.

Presenting data
It should be remembered that this is to be a new category scheme, so whilst each year should read nicely, it should also include just enough information to entice the reader into following the links to the actual pages on the information to find out more.
