Note: this is a upcoming guidelines for cosmetic Reviews in fortnite wiki

What are cosmetic reviews? What is the CR-V2 project? What is all about?
Well that what I will be explaining today, I am The Arcane Blades or you can call me TAB for short, I was one of the many former (or legends some may say) editors in the fortnite wiki from January to May of 2020, I have been known for many things, such as adding character model categories to outfits and free info exchanges with fortnite gamepedia but most importantly, the Cosmetic Reviews. A method of expressing cosmetic's inspiration and their creation, all started by a video back in January 15th.

A brief history of time
It was 11.40 update day for new cosmetics and there were a ton that were excellent but there was one that caught my eye, Gan, a cosmetic inspired by Chinese legacy and culture. as a fan of martial arts characters and a editor from the east side of the world, it was obviously my first choice only to be bombarded with twitter comments and videos saying no one likes this, why is this created or so what?, that when I learned that people didn't understand the meaning or couldn't find where it references to as their knowledge is limited to their own region which sprout the idea of creating a info section that cover the aspects of the cosmetic. On January 17th, I gained approval from former admin, MasterTeska to expand and it did work out well expand to other cosmetic types and inspiring other editors to join as well as if we were one community together. That is also where I form a vision, three values.


 * To provide an excitable insight of cosmetic through detail,references,inspiration and culture.
 * To forge better cooperation and an easy head start for new users to provide fact and impressions.
 * To provide a free resource and informative service to shared and never to patented by anyone.

Although it has it's share of success, it also has it's shares of failures, ranging from non-regulation of updates, no guidelines, being a relatively new concept no other source has done and lastly, being at risk of replacement.

But with this CR-V2 project, CR-V2 Is a project to make amends and update all reviews to the latest standards and newer ways to edit and provide a fair ground to build on as well as a guidelines to editing. Overall, I wish this would give a second chance to regain it's reputation and become a safe heaven for all. (guidelines found in part 2)

Some of the questions you may ask:

What and how does the update do or work
For the past months due to complications and not being safe to edit, the CR-V2 project have implemented plus being on the works and testing of improvements on gamepedia. Once it is done, cosmetic Reviews on gamepedia and guidelines will be transferred there.

If I had written a fact or reference on a review that needs to be updated, will it get deleted?
That is a case that rarely never happens if the detail meets the guidelines, when a cosmetic Review get updated, the ways of expressing the cosmetic will only change, never the content.

will the update affect everything including other projects
No, it is simply only targeting to place/improve/update cosmetic reviews on every cosmetic and to tackle cosmetic Review ripoffs. So basically the item shop histories, galleries and other ongoing projects are safe.

Why not use Description instead
Although claimed to be the better ripoff of cosmetic Reviews, it disregards the three values. It limits the amount of info as well as dethrones the excitement, uniqueness by make long statements of the accessories which contributes to the so what? Factor. One example is scuba Jonesy where Zak removed the fact it is inspired by the block party shorts and replace it with statements of what he is wearing. Although it is free to edit which somewhat upholds value number 2, cosmetic Reviews are more open accepting a wide range of responses as info making it easierto utilise. Description are not free resources to use which does not comply with value 3 and patents the info making somewhat anti-competitive.

Why do you wish to not to make a copyright source
Why should we, why should we be so competitive and selfish to ourselves. cosmetic Reviews have always been a free source of info so that other wiki websites can either share or create a better review for better understanding to make value one more successful.

will there be another update or project you have I mind
Eventually, I will need to improve overtime so I have considered two more projects in mind but they are not guaranteed:

1.CR-V3

CR-V3 is future pending full community update to be made with the help of advice,improvements and a new way of formatting galleries from former and new members in all shapes and sizes of contributions.

2.collector's Club

CC is a possible project if possible recreates the content of the fortnite offical collector's club outfits book in hopes of creating a better insight from an official source.
