re encouraged to employ synonyms on wikipedia it is more important to avoid language that makes undue implications said described wrote commented remarked and according to are almost always neutral and accurate stated is usually acceptable especially in formal contexts e g a declaration in court extra care is needed with more loaded terms for example to write that a person noted observed clarified explained exposed found pointed out showed confirmed or revealed something can imply objectivity or truthfulness instead of simply conveying the fact that it was said to write that someone insisted speculated or surmised can suggest the degree of the person s carefulness resoluteness or access to evidence even when such things are unverifiable to say that someone asserted or claimed something can call their statement s credibility into question by emphasizing any potential contradiction or implying disregard for evidence similarly be judicious in using admit confess reveal and deny particularly for living persons because these verbs can inappropriately imply culpability to avoid the twin pitfalls of biased wording and tedious repetition of he said she said consider rewriting the prose to remove the need for such verbs in the first place it is often repeated information rather than the repetition of specific words that creates a sense of repetition in prose overuse of variation is also likely to introduce an unencyclopedic tone unclarity and even unintended humour or muddled metaphor expressions that lack precision see also wikipedia please clarify and

differently abled euphemisms should generally be avoided in favor of more neutral and precise terms died and had sex are neutral and accurate passed away and made love are euphemisms some words and phrases that are proper in many contexts also have euphemistic senses that should be avoided civilian casualties should not be masked as collateral damage problems can be named without spinning them

literal expressions lion s share is often misunderstood and a landslide victory is imprecise instead use a term such as all most two thirds or whatever matches the context the tip of the iceberg should be reserved for discussions of icebergs if something is seen as wasteful excess do not call it gilding the lily or a white elephant instead describe the wasteful thing in terms of the actions or events that led to the excess instead of writing that someone took the plunge state their action matter of factly in general if a literal reading of a phrase makes no sense given the context the sentence needs rewording some idioms are common only in certain parts of the world and many readers are not native speakers of english articles should not presume familiarity with particular phrases

language and wikipedia manual of style dates and numbers statements likely to become outdated words to watch recently lately currently today presently to date x years ago formerly in the past traditionally this last next year month winter spring summer fall autumn yesterday tomorrow in the future now to this day soon since absolute specifications of time are preferred to relative constructions using recently currently and so on because the latter may go out of date by september 2026 contributions had dropped has the same meaning as recently contributions have dropped but the first sentence retains its meaning as time passes recently type constructions may be ambiguous even at the time of writing was it in the last week month year e the information that the current president alberto fernández took office in 2019 or alberto fernández has been president since 2019 is better rendered alberto fernández became president in 2019 wordings such as 17 years ago or jones is 65 years old should be rewritten as in 2009 jones was 65 years old at the time of the incident or jones was born in 1961 if a direct quote contains relative time ensure the date of the quote is clear such as joe bloggs in 2007 called it one of the best books of the last decade when material in an article may become out of date follow the wikipedia as of guideline which allows information to be written in a less time dependent way f there are also several templates for alerting readers to time sensitive wording problems g expressions like former in the past and traditionally lump together unspecified periods in the past traditional is particularly pernicious because it implies immemorial established usage it is better to use explicit dates supported by sources instead of hamburgers are a traditional american food say the hamburger was invented in about 1900 and became widely popular in the united states in the 1930s h similarly phrases such as in recent years or in modern times should be reworded to a more specific time or period as far as can be determined from the sources such as since the 1990s or in the mid 2010s i if there are no sources or the sources do not specify a time or period a when template may be added to ask for clarification because seasons differ between the northern and southern hemispheres try to use months quarters or other non seasonal terms such as mid year unless the season itself is pertinent spring blossoms autumn harvest see wikipedia manual of style dates and numbers seasons of the year unspecified places or events shortcut mos whatplace mos whatplace words to watch this country here there somewhere sometimes often occasionally somehow as in the previous section prefer specific statements to general ones it is better to use explicit descriptions based on reliable sources of when where or how an event occurred instead of saying in april 2012 senator smith somehow managed to increase his approval rating by 10 say in april 2012 senator smith s approval rating increased by 10 which respondents attributed to his new position on foreign policy 1 instead of saying senator smith often discusses foreign policy in his speeches say senator smith discussed foreign policy during his election campaign and subsequently during his victory speech at the state convention center 2 remember that wikipedia is a global encyclopedia and does not assume particular places or times are the default we emphasize facts and viewpoints to the same degree that they are emphasized by the reliable sources terms like this country should not be used survived by shortcut mos survivedby mos survivedby see also wikipedia what wikipedia is not wikipedia is not a blog web hosting service social networking service or memorial site and wikipedia what wikipedia is not wikipedia is not a newspaper words to watch is was survived by name s survivors include phrasing such as smith died in 1982 survived by her husband jack and two sons should be avoided this information can be made more complete and spread out through the article the survived by phrasing is a common way to end newspaper obituaries and legal death notices and is relevant at the time of death or for inheritance purposes but an encyclopedia article covers the subject s entire life not just their death and information about children and spouses might be presented in an infobox or in sections about the subject s personal life from such information readers can generally infer which family members died after the subject so this information is not usually worth highlighting explicitly except in unusual situations such as when children predecease their parents or an inheritance is disputed even in a stub article a different arrangement with more details sounds more like an encyclopedia and less like an obituary smith married jack in 1957 the couple had two sons she died in 1982 note also that to say survived by two children doesn t prove that the subject only had two children she might have had others who predeceased her if so obits will usually add a third child died in infancy whether a lack of mention of predeceasing children is sufficient for us to indicate that there weren t any is beyond the scope of this rule as of april 2026 update about 14 900 articles required copyediting to fix this language person or office shortcut mos

as chief justice in 2005 yes as the year makes this clear the guest list included charles prince of wales this is usually acceptable for events between charles iii s creation as prince of wales in 1958 and his accession to the throne in 2022 as a confusion with charles i of england prince of wales from 1616 to 1625 is highly unlikely in any event charles prince of wales would usually be linked the guest list included the prince of wales or the duke and duchess of kent while common in uk news sources is ambiguous without a name former president richard nixon met with mao zedong in 1972 this is incorrect because nixon was not a former us president at the time he was still in office write president richard nixon met with mao zedong in 1972 the construction then president nixon is often

isolated circumstances to which they have remained restricted in most cases they do not appear in general interest dictionaries though they may be used routinely within certain communities or professions they should generally be avoided because their definitions tend to be unstable and many do not last where the use of a neologism is necessary to describe recent developments in a certain field its meaning must be supported by reliable sources adding common prefixes or suffixes such as pre post non anti or like to existing words to create new compounds can aid brevity but make sure the resulting terms are not misleading or offensive and that they do not lend undue weight to a point of view for instance adding ism or ist to a word may suggest that a tenuous belief system is well established that a belief s adherents are particularly dogmatic or ideological as in abortionism or that factual statements are actually a matter of doctrine as in evolutionism some words by their structure can suggest extended forms that may turn out to be contentious e g lesbian and transgender imply the longer words lesbianism and transgenderism which are sometimes taken as offensive for
