Answer 1

Answer:

Following are the five characteristics of effective writing in online reports:

• Report should have the purpose well defined and needs of the reader in common should be the base
• User search for topic related information should be able to put your report in results and this is possible when content of the report has specific focus and target group
• Online report should be based on facts and experience reader can relate back. This will call for organized style of writing
• Avoid sensitive references in the online report and this save your work from the spamming or junk tag
• Timelines and publishing are important for online reports if they are situation specific. For example, people will read your article of air pollution when there is burning topic of smog in the air.

To adapt to wikis with my writing approach, following points can be helpful:

• Edit and improve the existing information in reference to quality and right concept.
• Look for any redundancy and update the effort of the writer with up-to-date information
• Check back on the source links and proofread them
• Use the existing formatting help/dashboard to rethink and redefine the content ownership
• There is no individual control and representation. Hence, use this approach to promote collectiveness of fair information.
