Never include the following items in overviews:
Reviews (unless they are incorporated into the text of the overview on the case) But what if they couldn't be bothered to write an overview, but only put a few reviews where it is supposed to be? It is a pan-nordic release, and the overview is there in swedish, norwegian and finnish - but by the danish flag, there is only four reviews... So, do I enter them as overview, or do I leave it blank? | | | | The future is here. It's just not widely distributed yet. (William Gibson) |

When there is no overview on the case, add a simple, self-written overview of 1-2 paragraphs. Do not include spoilers and always match the overview language to the profile's locality. | | | Karsten

Of course - I missed that one! Thanks!  | | | | The future is here. It's just not widely distributed yet. (William Gibson) |

| | Posted: | | | | In my opinion, the better choice, since there are overviews in other languages, would be to translate one of them and use it instead. While self written overviews are fine, I much prefer an official one. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

| | Posted: | | | | Agree with the Martian. What I have done in similar cases is find a profile that does have an Overview in the same language, copy it and mention where I got it from in my contribution notes. So far such contributions have always been approved.
Of course, if you can't find one in the same language, you may have to do some translation work. | | | | Last edited: by dee1959jay |
