Editing Incubator escapee wiki:Writing better articles (section)

==== Examples ====
Sometimes the way around using these terms is to replace the statements with the facts that back them up. Instead of:

:{{!xt|The Yankees are one of the greatest baseball teams in history.}}

Write:

:{{xt|The New York Yankees have won 27 World Series championships—almost three times as many as any other team.}}

By sticking to concrete and factual information, we can avoid the need to give any opinion at all. Doing so also makes for writing that is much more interesting, for example:

:{{!xt|'''William Peckenridge,''' eighth '''Duke of Omnium''' (1642? – May 8, 1691) is widely considered to be one of the most important men to carry that title.}}
:{{xt|'''William Peckenridge,''' eighth '''Duke of Omnium''' (1642? – May 8, 1691) was a personal counselor to [[James I|King James I]], general in the [[Wars of the Roses]], a chemist, bandleader, and the director of the secret society known as The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. He expanded the title of Omnium to include protectorship of Guiana and right of revocation for civil-service appointments in India.}}

[[Show, don't tell]]. The first example simply ''tells'' the reader that William Peckenridge was important. The second example ''shows'' the reader why he was important.
