== Couple more tips == | |||
Thanks again for helping us out with crew pages! Just wanted to give a couple of pointers about [[Nick Hurran]], which was a mostly-perfectly-formed stub. | |||
#Please remember that the subject of an article must be '''emboldened'''. Often, I start off articls with<pre>'''{{PAGENAME}}'''</pre> just to make sure I've got that base covered. | |||
#Try to future-proof articles. In other words, eliminate the use of the future tense and any phrases which indicate the future, like "the upcoming ''[[The God Complex]]''". This is because articles using the future tense are someday going to be inaccurate. In Hurran's case, you've limited the accuracy of the article to about six days. Next Sunday, ''The God Comples'' will no longer be "upcoming". | |||
#If all you've done is tell us who the person is and what their credits are on ''Doctor Who'', that's great. Articles need to start somewhere, and [[Nick Hurran]] is at that base minimum. But you should also leave behind {{tl|TV crew stub}} to let us know that it needs work in trying to properly characterise the subject's career details. | |||
Once again, your efforts to improve our coverage of crew pages is '''greatly appreciated'''. Keep on keepin' on! {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''14:39:16 Sun '''11 Sep 2011 </span> | |||
