The following Propolis guidelines may not be suitable for all articles. However, adherence to them would help maintain the academic style and integrity of Propolis Wiki.|Reference: Bars Juhasz (2023) Does Google Penalize AI Content? Yes Here’s Why https://undetectable.ai/blog/does-google-penalize-ai-content/
Propolis articles should adhere to formal academic style, avoiding slang, colloquialisms, and conversational tone. Writing should be straightforward and concise. Articles should be written in an unbiased manner. Texts should not be AI-generated, as generative content may be penalized by search engines.
An example of the opening paragraph that adheres to the guidelines:
A **Hive account** is an identity on the [Hive blockchain](/@propolis.eng/Hive-Blockchain). Hive accounts allow people, bots, or third-party applications that are in possession of their [Private Keys](/@propolis.eng/Private-Keys) to actively interact with the blockchain, i.e. to submit a [transaction](/@propolis.eng/Transaction). From a technical point of view, a Hive account is a container for all the activity associated with a particular identity on the blockchain. This includes all their tokens, posts, comments, [upvotes](/@propolis.eng/Upvotes), transfers, etc.<ref>Hive Developer Portal – Glossary https://developers.hive.io/glossary/#glossary-chain-basics</ref>
Suitable words and phrases should link to other articles. State the term in singular unless it only appears in plural. [[Propolis Wiki]]
Propolis articles should have a proper reference system similar to the Wikipedia one. Claims and facts should be sourced with credible references. Reliable sources of Hive-related information are:
When referencing Hive posts or similar media, please take into account that they are not peer-reviewed. Preference should be given to reputable authors and articles that have not provoked disapproving comments.
When referencing Hive posts, hive.blog links should be preferred.
