Basic Guidelines to editing/creating articles on VGLan

While our guidelines are not as strict as that of Wikipedia or other Wiki's, we do want to enforce guidelines to keep this wiki organized and clutter-free.

• Read already existing articles before jumping in to create a new article. A solid starting point would first be to try editing already existing articles by correcting certain mistakes, adding new information, etc. Usually, the category is riled with articles that require expansion, and the like.
• This wiki is meant to be both informational and fun. Our definition of fun in this wiki is that we can enjoy ourselves without bringing in any Encyclopedia Dramatica lingo or chaos. We don't want articles about /v/, /b/tards or any articles that are of no use in the wiki. We're interested in real information, not made-up Internet trends.
• Keep your article organized. Use headers, lists and tables when needed. Caption images often if you use them as well.
• While we encourage you use your own writing in an article, if you copied and pasted a piece of information from another site, it must be cited with a source somewhere. On the contrary, the article shall be marked for deletion for plagiarism.
• No explicit images.
• Use namespaces where they should apply. If you're writing about a member, use the User:Username namespace.
