1.) Questions you should ask yourself before attempting a draft include:
Do I own this Bey?
Are there test results for this Bey?
Are those test results validated?
Do I actually know anything about Beyblade?
If you cannot answer each of these questions with a resounding <<Yes!>>, then the draft should not be attempted.
2.) So you answered yes to all of those questions? Good! Now you should look up what you DO NOT know about the Bey you are writing about. Things to look for include Takara-Tomy/Hasbro's Type Classifcation, Product Number (Plastics and HMS/MFB), other versions, weights of parts (Plastics/MFB), and individual parts names.
3.) Now assuming you actually cared enough to do all of this (chances are you didn't) the next step would be to ACTUALLY WRITE THE ARTICLE. Astounding, I know. When writing an article, you are basically writing individual parts descriptions. If the part is included in another Beyblade, or already has it's own article (Some WD's and BB's), then simply link to that page, unless the information is outdated or otherwise incorrect, in which case you might consider rewriting the article for that part as well. When writing about parts, be sure to avoid adding personal bias. Do not claim a part is good if it is not, and do not claim a part is bad just because you do not like it. During your writing, you should actively avoid being too wordy and using hollow descriptors such as 'very' and 'a lot', and should focus primarily on writing about the parts competitive use, preceded by a SMALL description of the parts physical appearence. Chances are your article has/will have pictures, and most people do not quite care what the aesthetics are. Be sure your description is both adequate and correct, noting all uses of the part, do not concern yourself with what the part CANNOT do. Ask yourself if everything you have mentioned can be backed up by [hopefully more than one set of] test results After completing each section, make sure your grammar and spelling are correct, you are not reptitve, that you have used purposeful and moderate to high diction, that their are no syntactical errors, that you have written in the active voice, and that you have written in the third person. Avoid colloquial diction as well; words such as "brilliant" and "rad" are not good descriptors.
4). When writing the overall section, briefly note upon the major strengths of each part, and if there are none, than do not mention them. You should note if it serves competive use, if it's best parts are outclassed or available in more useful releases, and if it would be suited to any niche of users, such as Attack Enthusiasts. Forget how much you payed for it, or how much you like it, be brutally honest, and decide if and who you actually reccomend it for, the general populace, a niche, or collectors only.
5.) The next step is to publish your draft in this forum, taking advice from other [reputable] members, and making neccessary adjustments. After you have done this, await moderator approval.
6.) After recieving approval, be sure you know how to format your article. I recommend copy+pasting another article for a similar Bey (i.e. from the same system, and same sub-section of that system), and later replacing the information with what you've written for your [approved] draft.
