Hiya
I've had someone off Wizzley giving me some con-crit on one of my articles. I just want to check here before I put her recommendations into action:
A Trip Through Syd Barrett's The Madcap Laughs
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that this article is already the longest one on Wizzley. I certainly think it's the longest in my profile! But she's suggested making it longer still.
I deconstruct the lyrics, but don't include them. She said that it's quite vital, when I'm going on about them, to actually include them.
I know that Wizzley has a rule against lyrics. That's been clarified before. It stops us padding out articles with them, avoids copyright violations and stops Wizzley becoming a lyric farm. I have included lyrics before, but they've all been me translating Welsh into English.
I did think of including links to other sites, which do have the lyrics, but that's a lot of sending people away from my Wizzle. Even if Chef Keem says that lyrics are permissible, then it's going to make an already monstrously long article twice as long again. There are 13 songs involved here.
So has anyone any thoughts about this? Should I, perhaps, split it into two articles?
Also, she was reading the Wizzle on a mobile and it didn't show the videos! They ARE integral to the article. >.< I have no idea what to do there.
Basically, if this was your article, how would you play it?
Thanks in advance.
yours
Jo
