Style also refers to the way an article is written - articles consisting entirely of lists are not preferable, nor are paragraphs written in a "this then that then that" style. In particular articles should not be written with 1st or 2nd person pronouns, such as ''"I did this"'' (use names), ''"to do that, we do this"'' (use ''"the player can do this"''). | Style also refers to the way an article is written - articles consisting entirely of lists are not preferable, nor are paragraphs written in a "this then that then that" style.

Articles should also avoid giving opinion or bias unless it is particularly relevant or widely accepted (referencing a source is preferable for this). For example, ''"[[London 1961]] is the least known game in the series"'' is acceptable because it is widely accepted to be true and it is justified (reasons are given for it) - nobody has challenged this so far. If an editor wrote ''"Everybody hates [[Jack Thompson]]"'', that would be a gross exaggeration with the intention of making their point of view seem more valid. Subjectivity is occasionally acceptable, but not to the level of saying ''"This is the best car in the game"'' - this should be objectified, such as saying it is the fastest vehicle. No editor should write anything similar to ''"I like this car''". | Articles should also avoid giving opinion or bias unless it is particularly relevant or widely accepted (referencing a source is preferable for this).
