Template:Story

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To meet Wikipedia's quality standards and conform with our NPOV policy, this article or section may require cleanup.
The current version of this article or section is written in an informal style and with a personally invested tone. It reads more like a story than an encyclopedia entry.
Please see specific examples noted on the talk page. Editing help is available.

[edit] Usage notes

This template is for use on articles. The decision to tag with this template should be supported by a discussion on the article's talk page citing examples of how the article inappropriately and/or excessively employs storylike elements, outside of properly quoted material. This template may also flag things that should always be avoided in the primary (non-quoted) text of a Wikipedia article: verbosity, hyperbole, irony, cliché, inner voice, and first- and second-person address. Other undesirable elements, such as expressions of limited or personal opinion, may be more precisely addressed by other templates, such as Template:NPOV language or Template:Essay-opinion.

This template will add an article to Category:Wikipedia articles needing style editing.
