[[Image:Hereimage.png|left|60px|The Sega Project]]Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Sega. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; For more information on WikiProjects, please see [[Wikipedia:WikiProjects]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices]]; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list. |
|||
This project is a descendant project of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games|Wikiproject Video games]]. If you'd like to join, just add your name to the members list below. For more information on WikiProjects, please see [[Wikipedia:WikiProjects]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices]]. |

=====<span style="color: #0000FF;">Scope</span>===== |
|||
|- |
|||
|This [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] aims to create maintain Sega articles, which include articles exclusively related to [[Sega]]. The majority of these articles are video games, but include character biographies, character lists, soundtracks, consoles, manga, movies, television shows, and more. The ''WikiProject Segs'' attempts to standardize the content and format of data in said articles. In addition, this WikiProject aims to provide some degree of damage control for poorly written or extraneous Segs-related articles. |
|||
Specifically, the project supports all articles that cover anything that Sega, or Sega designed, produced, or holds a copyright on. However, please note that "game" articles are only included in this WikiProject if they are published by [[Sega]] (1st and 2nd party.), or include Sega charicters. |

=====<span style="color: #0000FF;">Goals</span>===== |

|- |
|||
| |
|||
*Organize all Sega related articles through the usage of templates, categories, and stubs |
|||
*Improve on Sega related articles to featured article status (or at the very least to good article status) |
|||
*Create new articles relating to Sega, as long as they are encyclopedic and adhere to Wikipedian policies |

<!--WRITING ARTICLES--> |

=====<span style="color: #0000FF;">Writing articles</span>===== |
|||
|- |
|||
|The following is a brief overview of [[Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles]], with some elaboration and extra points provided by project members. |
|||
;Layout |
|||
*'''Introductory material''': Good articles should start with a brief [[WP:LEAD|lead section]] which introduces the reader to the topic. |
|||
*'''Size''':Articles should be kept relatively short with mostly only necessary information. When articles grow past this amount of readable text, they should be broken up to improve readability and ease of editing. |
|||
*'''Paragraphs''': Remember that paragraphs should be relatively short to reduce eyestrain, but not too short. If it does manage to become too long, divide it up into separate paragraphs with similar themes. |
|||
*'''Headings''': Headings can help clarify articles and compose the table of contents. For more information, see [[Wikipedia:Section]]. |
|||
*'''Images''': If the article can be illustrated with pictures, find an appropriate place to position these images, where they relate closely to text they illustrate. |
|||
*'''Standard appendices''': Other optional sections can be included as well. This includes quotations, related topics, references, and external links (also called further reading). |
|||
*Also, please see [[Wikipedia:Long article layout]] or [[Wikipedia:Article size]] if the article manages to become too large. |
|||
;Think of the reader |
|||
*'''State the obvious''', which is usually done at the first sentence or two of the article. |
|||
*Have a '''Lead section''', a [[Wikipedia:Section|section]] before the first headline. It should establish significances, large implications and ''why we should care''. |
|||
*'''Use other languages sparingly''', and make sure it is used only as extra information, not something the reader needs to know to understand the article. However, in the English-language Wikipedia, the English form does not always have to come first, sometimes the non-English word is better as the main text with the English in parentheses or set off by commas after it, and sometimes not. |
|||
*'''Use colour sparingly''', as too many colours on one page make them look cluttered and unencyclopedic. |
|||
;Use clear, precise and accurate terms |
|||
*'''Be succinct'''; state the facts without rambling on with excessive wording. Fewer words is usually a good thing, unless they are informal words. |
|||
*Use the '''[[principle of least astonishment]]'''. Be sure to plan your pages and links so that everything appears reasonable and makes sense. |
|||
*The phrase '''refers to''' should usually be found near the beginning of Wikipedia articles. |
|||
*'''Check your facts''' and make sure everything is true, usually through [[Wikipedia:Cite sources|citing good sources]]. Also '''avoid [[blanket term]]s''' unless you have verified them and '''stay on topic''' (avoid irrelevant information). When dealing with fiction (such as Nintendo characters) you should be sure to '''clearly distinguish fact and fiction''' as well. |
|||
*Be sure to '''pay attention to spelling and grammar''', especially of new page names. |
|||
*'''Avoid misplaced formality''' — phrases such as "utilize", "thereafter", "in order [to/for]", "prior to" (use "before"), "in lieu of", and "whilst" should '''always''' be avoided. '''Avoid informality''', as well; contractions and two letter verbs are usually unacceptable. |
|||
*'''Omit redundancies''', such as vague terms of size (a number of, a vast majority of), excessive transitions (overuse of "also", "additionally", and "moreover"), "was able to", passive voice, and repeats (brilliant genius, destructive disaster, many different, and so on). Using redundancies for emphasis is acceptable in some situations. |
|||
*'''Avoid [[Wikipedia:Avoid peacock terms|peacock]] and [[Wikipedia:Avoid weasel words |weasel]] terms''' that show off the subject or expresses opinions. Plus, these terms usually violate the redundnacy and succinctness clauses above. |
|||
*When making an article, '''make omissions explicit''' and always aim for completeness. |
|||
;Other issues |
|||
*Avoid rambling on about '''plot summaries'''; keep them concise and '''always''' include out-of-universe information, such as development, reception, and debate. |
|||
*Do not use '''honorifics''' or titles such as Mr, Ms, Rev, Doctor, etc. |
|||
*Avoid '''inappropriate subjects'''. Please remember [[WP:NOT|Wikipedia is not]] an advertising medium or home page service. |
|||
*'''Avoid making your articles orphans''' and be sure to '''add links'''. However when you do create links, link only one or a few instances of the same term; don't link all instances of it. See also: [[Wikipedia:Links]]. |
|||
*For issues involving '''pronouns''', see [[m:Quest for gender-neutral pronouns]] and the [[m:Talk:Quest for gender-neutral pronouns|discussion]]. |
|||
*Remember to '''integrate changes'''. For example, when you make a change to some text, rather than appending the new text you'd like to see included at the bottom of the page, if you feel so motivated, please place and edit your comments so that they flow seamlessly with the present text. |
|||
*Be sure to remember that '''unimportant things are important, too'''. |
|||
*Everyone makes mistakes, though try to avoid making [[Wikipedia:Avoiding common mistakes|common mistakes]]. |
|||
*It is best to '''make a personal copy''' of an article, just in case you get into some sort of [[Wikipedia:Edit war|edit war]] or a [[Help:Reverting|revert war]]. However, be sure to [[Wikipedia:Staying cool when the editing gets hot|stay cool]]. |
