General guidelines for Fictional History articles
Below are some of the more important things you should think about when creating and editing articles in Fictional History. For a more detailed description of what the articles should look like, see **the Fictional History style guide**.
* **Be sure to use a neutral and balanced language.** Avoiding exaggerations and bias is important for our credibility. Take a look at other encyclopedias to get a feeling for what the texts should look like stylistically.
* If uploading images, **please make sure that they are not protected by copyright**.
* **Please type in a short comment in the Summary field** below the main text window when editing pages. This makes it easier for others to see what you have changed. (If you look below the menu option Recent changes, you can see how these comments are shown in the list.)
* **Use the "Show preview"-function** before saving a page after editing. By doing this you will see if something else needs changing and thereby minimizing the number of times you need to save the same article. This makes the log files more condensed and easy to review.
* **Use your common sense when making changes in existing articles.** The change should lead to an obvious improvement by the articles quality, an improvement of the language, or to make the article more neutral or in accordance with our other guidelines. To add new information in an article is generally always welcome.
* **If you detect a non-serious edit or sabotage, please restore the article** to a previous version by clicking to view the articles history and thereafter on "roll back".
* Also see **Fictional History Copyrights Page**
