The content in Justapedia articles should be written as far as possible for the widest possible general audience. Strive to make each part of every article as understandable as possible to the widest audience of readers who are likely to be interested in that material.} When adding content and creating new articles, an encyclopedic style with a formal tone is important. Instead of essay-like, argumentative, or opinionated writing, articles should have a straightforward style.
