Odd writing?

[edit]

Reading the game summary... It seems like it is written in a third person POV... Is it supposed to seem like that? To me it doesn't look encyclopedic, the way it is written... James-the-Charizard (talk) 20:07, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, James-the-Charizard. I have to say that I am slightly perplexed by your question. According to WP:SLANG, all articles should be written in the third-person point of view. If there is a different issue that needs to be addressed or if I misunderstood your question, don't be afraid to say so and I'll happily correct the error.

Some of this article is written as if it’s like someone talking to us, usually these sports articles are written in the past tense. Some examples include: "Greg Zuerlein misses the extra point", "The Chiefs first drive of the quarter gets them a short field goal.", "Patrick Mahomes is sacked by Aaron Donald." I feel like all those and other parts should be in past tense (misses to missed, gets them to ended in, is to was, etc.) If I happen to be wrong in my judgement, just tell me where I went wrong.

@EDG 543: (I had forgotten a ping) I got somewhat vague in my previous comment, by talking to us, I meant written from the POV of a commentator. James-the-Charizard (talk) 00:50, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@James-the-Charizard: Thank you for your clarification. I apologize for the mistake and will correct it shortly (hopefully today). Your patience is appreciated. Thanks, EDG 543 (talk) 12:35, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
