There are many common pitfalls that can cause your guide to be unclear. The goal of this guide is to explain these problems and combat them, hopefully ushering in a new era of wonderful resources.

First Person

Do not use first person language in your guides. This is basic English, but many people have fallen victim to this.

Information

Please make sure that your information is correct, and make sure that your guide is not completely pointless, as your topic may have already been covered by others.

Grammar and Punctuation

Please use correct grammar and punctuation in your guides. It is extremely hard to read sentences that do not have punctuation.
