L33T Nonsense[edit source]

| Humour: | 1.5 | I spot two major problems with this article: first, it's about a nonsense subject (more on that in concept). It's very difficult to write an article about 1337, because it's been done again and again. Three things you'll want to get rid of here are the references to RuneScape (that's older than time), the links to You, and the nonsense parts that no one can understand- it's not funny writing in a language no one can comprehend except the author, and it's likely to turn people off to the article as a whole. |
| Concept: | 2 | The main problem with writing an article like this is that 1337speak, like I said above, has been done many times? It's kind of like the orange-bannana knock-knock joke: it's funny the first time, but after you hear the same line over and over again it just makes you want to tear you hair out. For something like this, i'd recommend writing it in the style of a guy who is really tired of hearing it- for example: "L33T Nonsense is a bunch of crap! I'm fucking sick of hearing stupid internet nerds talk like idiots!". That kind of writing is something people can relate too, because they're sick of hearing it as well. That's probably the only style you can successfully write with. |
| Prose and formatting: | 1 | I'm going to give this a 1 to drive the point home. Like i've said in my paragraphs above me, people are tired of seeing 1337, so that drags down your Prose signifigantly. As for your formatting, you make two errors: first, the caption for your first image is too long, and overlaps into another section. Second, quotes go at the top of an article (though you generally want to avoid those altogether). |
| Images: | 2 | You've got one image, and RuneScape bashing is a huge cliche. I suppose the best kind of image for an article like this would be a random jumble of words and letters on a white backround, or perhaps a photoshopped image of a guy with a messed up mouth/lips- I don't really have any knowledge of 1337speak, though, so take those with a grain of salt. |
| Miscellaneous: | 1.5 | My overall grade of the article. |
| Final Score: | 8 | You've picked a very difficult subject to write about, as it's very hard to write about 1337speak without breaking out cliches like RuneScape and the link to You. Like I said above, the most successfull way you could write an article about this kind of subject is if you wrote it from the perspective of someone who is sick and tired of hearing it. Remove all references to RuneScape, change your style and execution, add a few more images, and above all, expand- this is along the lines of ICU at the moment.
Bottom Line: Not very good; avoid cliches and change your concept. Good luck! =) |
