Tone

[edit]

@MSportWiki: Per WP:TONE, WP:NEWSSTYLE and other advice on that page, Wikipedia articles should be written in a formal tone, and without hyperbolic adjectives and adverbs. The wording of the report section is distinctly encyclopaedic - "Chadwick stormed away from pole position" &c. Presumably the same issue attends to all of the W Series articles added on the 24th Jan 2022.

Rhetorical flourishes like "Ayla Ågren and Fabienne Wohlwend ran wide – the Norwegian slowed" also fall flat, insofar as the reader probably doesn't have a clue who "the Norwegian" is.
