Articles should:
*Follow naming conventions - [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Article Titles|Wikipedia has a convention]] it adheres to in article names. Generally, ''only the first word of a title is capitalized'', while subsequent words are lowercase. Exceptions exist when article titles are proper nouns (such as [[Chris Sawyer]] or [[Loopy Landscapes]]). Articles that do not adhere to this convention may be renamed (moved) so that it does.
:*Rule of Thumb: If the words for an article title are written in a sentence, and they are not capitalized, then the title itself should not be capitalized (except the first word).
*Have a logical structure - Navigation in an Article should be common-sense and understandable, and should present information in an orderly fashion.
*Have some images - Images that illustrate the topic of a page are essential, but too many images or images crowded together serve little purpose and distract from the topic of a page.
*Be easily readable and easily editable - Articles should avoid complicated or confusing templates or layouts, since these may be difficult for editors to make improvements to.
*Have correct spelling and grammar.
:*See ''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon:Manual of Style#Differences in the English Language|Differences in the English Language]]'' below for rules on different grammar and spelling styles.
*Be categorized
