Rate all reviews for the guide who looks after the category you've written in, it wont guarantee a crown but it might help Laughing

Well for starters you have got to think about what questions you would ask about the product, as a potential buyer. Then in a systematic order and with use of a spelling/grammar checker, go into detail about the product adding plenty of personal opinion. Also don't include lots of lists about a product, it's your experience of the product we want to know about. Lisa x

Take no notice.

Write your review, re-read it, make sure you put in everything that you think it needs, spell check it, and do the best you can. Remember about product reviews, a balance is required

1) the product itself and perhap what made you choose it against other similar products (only my opinion)
2) YOUR personal experience of the product
3) Some kind of conclusion.

These are just my thoughts.

What is "all necessary info" though? This is where many go wrong....

I don't think reviews need headings either. I can read quite well without them...reviews don't need headings for me to nominate, personally. In fact they often detract (especially when a five line paragraph appears at the end called "Opinion" ) Laughing

Headings seem to be a sticky issue with a lot of people, but readers who are dyslexic find them very helpful. Although I'm not dyslexic I'm aware that splitting a review into paragraphs with headings makes it easier for them to digest.
At the end of the day I think these help make the presentation of a longer review better, and that is one of the things i look for in deciding whether i think it's crown worthy or not. Lisa x

In all honesty I do like headings, although I like a nice chunk of writing under each one. It puts me off when I see one sentence under a heading and the next heading straight away.

Having headings in a review is simply personal choice and being present or not, I doubt would effect whether a crown is given out or not.

I prefer to see them but would not rate down or not nominate if they were not present.

I wonder if I'm doing something terribly wrong when I simply refuse to use a spellchecker when everybody else says "spell check everything". I just can't get it through my head that a simple computer program will understand exactly what I'm saying (and correcting me when I know there is no mistake in my sentence).

As for headers, I think they are more beneficial if the review happens to turn into a long one (not saying a review should be long... please, don't throw stuff at me), but for short and average length reviews they are not really necessary at all. At least that's how I feel.

I have never really got the "spellcheck" advice either.

Proof read..yes.

Headings...I don't pretend to understand dyslexia at all, but most written texts do not come with headings every five sentences.

I have done reviews with headings myself, I just don't think they are necessary most of the time. The language and use of paragraphs should chunk down the content, not the heading.

Just pointing out that a couple of reads through a review should iron out most mistakes. I know I correct sentences all the time just for the reason that sometimes the structure of one sounds so stupid that it needs to be rephrased. Can a spellchecker do that, huh?

It will look at parts of a sentence, and suggest (e.g.) passive sentences could be reworded...but as for reading the entire sentence...no it is not that intelligent!

Particularly if there isn't anything wrong with the actual sentence, but I just don't like how it sounds. Wink

Even when I've spaced my paragraphs up appropriately, I've had on occasions dyslexic members ask if I could add headings to make the review easier to read.

Going back to what makes a review crown worthy, what puts me off nominating is when a review goes all around the houses to get to the point. While I don't mean a review should be 2 or 3 sentences long, I don't what to read too much about how when they washed they hair one day reminded them they had to by a Bread maker. While a funny stories make an interesting read and can at times enhance the review, I prefer that on the whole the review stays on track. Lisa x

Ooh definitely. Those kind of reviews are not reviews at all...! More like blogs!

I have never been asked that, and to be honest, while I have sometimes rewritten a sentence or so as I received feedback that if the language was a bit clunky, there is no way I would add headings just because someone asked me to (or left a bit of normal misguided "advice" in my comments - a ciao trait....) My English isn't that unreadable..surely!

It would be like translating it to French or German, or Braille or something, and I couldn't do that either..
