Falasan Inquirer/Archive/Writing Style

The Falasan Inquirer uses templates to prepare its articles. If you wish to add your own article, here is how you can do it:

Main Article

Main articles are placed in the Falasan News Major Left template. You just need to copy & copy from the box below and add in what is appropriate (that is, place the title of the article after "|title=", etc). Be aware that you will need to halve your article and place the second half under the "|column2=" option.

Of first preference would be to cut off the article at the end of a paragraph, of second preference at the end of a sentence, and if you must, cut it off at a comma (or other punctuation which induces a pause in the flow of writing). This is so that the reader will not be disjointed from the sudden need to zip back up to the top of the article.

Finally, if in following the above you find it impossible to exactly halve the article (especially for long articles!!), I would suggest that you make "|column1=" shorter than "|column2=" for the simple reason that it will be easier for the reader to scroll up & down while reading the article, particularly for articles which are long enough to require that scrolling--a shorter distance to scroll up, and then the reader needs only to scroll down the rest of the way on the 2nd column.

Side Articles

These are for extremely minor articles, I'm thinking of just for commentaries. This is so because unlike the main articles template, I can't get these to fit nicely below each other :( other than that, you just need to do the same as above: copy & paste the template below and fill in the blanks.

Note that placing this template before a main template will show this template slightly above the main template. I do not suggest placing one of this template above another of this template unless they are 1) short enough or 2) the main article they are placed beside is long enough to contain the length of the minor articles. Otherwise, the two minor articles will be placed side by side in the middle of the page.
