Eight tips for better notable posts

1. Remember journalism's five "W"s: Who, What, When, Where, Why/hoW.

These are reporting basics. For us, DATES are critical; always include.

2. "Use your words" (not just images) for Q proofs, etc.

If you can't describe it, how is baker supposed to?

Text is important. People searching for your info in qresear.ch can only search on text.

3. Use RED TEXT & bold to call out notables.

This REALLY helps bakers locate notables & avoid eye strain.

Always spell out the word 'notable'. This is critical to help the anons who use the Bakertools javascript; they can just navigate right through the notables IF the word is spelled correctly.

4. Include article and video TITLES, not just links.

Sauce on vids is usually sparse; try to include a date plus a short abstract.

5. For tweets, copypasta the text too, so the info gets into qresear.ch

Qresear.ch is a great resource, but it's 100% text.

6. DATES, DATES, DATES.

Shills post old but jazzy news on purpose, then say 'clown baker' if notabled. Defeat this with dates.

7. If post is part of an ongoing dig, say the DIG name so it's gets notabled.

Don't assume the baker knows. An individual baker is not here 24/7 and they may not know.

8. Only got JPEGS on your Apple phone? Then use text instead (links, title, date).

9. Go to step 1. Wash, rinse, repeat!

Just adding some data while digging for what I recall was an old post someone made back in 2018 that went into more of the structure/formatting.

Very. Do trip parenthesis still work?

This is the most recent I have for formatting.

>Nice–as a baker, i'd be happy to get anything akin to a title, subject, or introduction

Maybe should expand it as a how to help the baker and be a gold star anon (they need those Pavlovian feelz sometimes)

ex. I always try to help relevant posts by getting the sauce, bolding the subject, etc etc

…

It is like herding cats.

Thinking if there was a good inforgraphic/meme that emphasized the key points clearly maybe help some.

Of course having managed techs and written tech support articles my expectations aren't super high.

I remember when that infographic was made, have it saved from way back.

>>8551

Well got back for the end. kek

Was thinking about doing a graphic based off discussions here plus what I found this morning.

Will see what I can come up with.

Wonder if that shill is aspie, have had long conversations with some and they can be hard to communicate with at the best of times
