+==== How to write for Boglimpedia ====
+Despite what many believe, writing for any form of Wikipedia article is easy. Your only real goal is to **present the facts in a non-biased, professional manner.** You may give as many or as few details as pertinent to the article as necessary, especially as much of what happens in the Cobraverse is based on speculation. \\
+**Don't use personal biases when writing.** This is especially important for Boglimpedia, as Josh is a controversial figure. Nothing but the facts. Nobody cares what you think. This rule extends to theorizing as well - Many things happen off-camera in the Cobraverse that are seldom addressed until they suddenly are. If you're not certain on what happened, say that there's no reliable source on what happened. Josh and the people who orbit him are lolcows, and as such often spill the beans for personal reasons anyway. \\
+**Always attempt to cite your sources and name dates.** Josh has been uploading content to YouTube since //2010.// The more accurate you are in your sources, the more easy it is to find these videos, especially as Josh has a bad habit of deleting videos he doesn't like.  \\
+**Write your articles as though the reader knows nothing about Josh.** The history of KingCobraJFS is long and daunting to get into, especially to the un-initiated. There is always a chance that someone has stumbled across your article and this is their first exposure to the BOY, so you should seek to write with the mindset that your article is the landing point for the next hapless soldier to enlist in the Cobra Wars. When referring to other objects, persons or incidents in the timeline, be sure to link to them. Be the reason some braindead TikTok zoomer falls into the cobra nest.\\
+**Don't be afraid to make mistakes.** The fabric of reality is moth-eaten and curiously thin in the Cobraverse, and mistakes are commonplace. Not having the correct source, grammatical errors, sections that need to be rewritten due to a poor grasp of the English language - these concepts are all of no importance to the Boglimpedia. Eventually, all mistakes are rectified, one way or another.
