If this is the wrong place for this let me know. I can take criticism.

Anyway, as I stated in the what's your most recently launched article thread, I have just launched my first article, Watch Where You're Going!. I'd like this to be successful, and if so, I may launch more articles in the future.

I'm looking for any tips that might make it more successful, and garner more examples, so any suggestions would be helpful.

Edit: apologies for the poor spelling of the title. Should have said Article.sad

The big one: go to all the pages for shows that you've listed as examples, and list the trope on their pages as well. Otherwise nobody will ever know it exists. The general rule of thumb is each trope should be linked to from at least 13-15 other pages; you can check this by clicking on the "related to" button at the top of the page.

Some other minor things:

  • You should add an apostrophe in the title, by using this page.
  • I fixed this, but for future reference you should be italicizing the names of shows (by surrounding them with double apostrophes).
  • You seem to have a Tendency to Capitalize random Words. Don't.
  • This thread is a good place to announce new pages if you want them to get attention from other editors.

Hope this helps!

132 is the rudest number.

If you're not a native english speaker, there's an english help thread stickied in one of these subforums. I think it's Wiki Talk but it might be Trope Talk.
