How to be a good fandom report (on Fan History)
This is a crosspost from Fan History Wiki. We are crossposting it to our blog as we'd like to expose it to a wider audience because we think the information contained in it might be useful for other wiki projects and for people to better understand how to do a good job at telling the history of fandom events that are happening in the moment.. Please feel free to comment here, or on the talk page for this article to help improve it. Please also feel free to edit the on wiki version to make those improvements.

Introduction

Help Fan History improve, be more comprehensive and cover breaking fandom news. Covering major fandom news in the moment, as they happen, is important because articles can be used as quick reference guides for people who are curious as to what exactly happened and this information can be difficult to follow without a good, overall guide. It also helps with the preservation of material that may later disappear (via deletions or expiration of links) and allows for current events to be put into a historical context.

We need your help to cover breaking fandom news. In covering breaking news, there are three things you should keep in mind:

Strive for being unbiased. Where bias is hard to avoid, present multiple perspectives. Ask for help from other editors to review and remove what might be biased language.
Strive to tell a cohesive narrative. In quickly evolving events, it is crucial to understand how and when things evolved.
Be organized. Compiling a link list is often the best way to begin.
