Thanks also for signing up to Wikipedia:WikiProject RuneScape. However, you might need to change your entry on the participation list, which currently says 'pking guides'. Wikipedia is not a game guide - the RuneScape articles are about explaining the game to a non-player, not providing a game guide to current players. The RuneScape Wiki is a specialist version of Wikipedia for players - on the other hand, there is a fair bit to be done on the Wikipedia articles:

  • Change most mentions of "you" to "players" and when possible and appropriate, be more specific such as "attacker", "wielder", etc.
  • Get more references for all the articles such as postings on the official RuneScape site here: [1] or some other site.
  • Use consistency for all terms throughout the articles. E.g. RuneScape and RuneScape Classic must look like this when mentioned. The proper term is "two handed sword" for any of the two handed swords.
  • Write out contractions, do not use abbreviations, change everything to the British spellings of words, fix grammar and spelling, etc.
  • Generally improve the RuneScape Series in whatever way you can.
  • Add [[Category:RuneScape Images]] to any RuneScape images you see.
  • Change the selected article at the start of each month.
  • Change the RuneScape News section on the Portal if new news on RuneScape comes out.
  • Cite your work! All information placed into the RuneScape Wiki and Portal MUST be cited, per WP:V.
  • Watch the articles in the series for vandalism and remove it when it appears.
  • Remove all fancruft from the articles, keeping them encyclopaedic. See here for a guide.
