Sharks

Hey, Cittykat

First of all, welcome on the wiki :)

For your information, I was the person who created the Sharks article you've edited. You are completely right, the article is very outdated (I made it when Black Flag hadn't been released yet, and it hasn't been updated since), so I appreciate your enthusiasm in trying to fix that.

However, there's a great many policies in place to ensure the wiki is (mostly) organized - normally a welcome message should've been added to your talkpage, but there's been some issues with that. I don't know if I can add it myself, but I'll have a go.

Anyways yes, a lot of structures on this wiki. Which means that, if you're going to contribute more in the future, I advise you to take a look at other articles and see how they are set up, and then mimic their style. As it is, I will have to overhaul your "great white shark" article, as it does not correspond to the style of the other animals' articles.

For one, the title of the article should be in plural, as with the others. Secondly, we utilize an in-universe approach on this wiki. This means we are an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough or guide for the game. We look at all the information within the game and treat it as if it is real - we basically write the articles as if they belong on wikipedia. Any references to "games", "soundtracks", "voice actors", "game mechanics", etc. is restricted to a set of articles, or the Trivia section. Anything else should be written without taking the game-aspect in mind.

This might seem overwhelming at first - it takes a bit of time to get into the mindset. Anyways, if you have any further questions, you can ask them on my, or any of the other staff members's talkpages. Alright, thanks for reading and happy editing!
