Writer's Voice

The writer for any Wikipedia article, whether it's over a hilarious movie or a super serious disease, has to have some kind of authority to their "voice". In order to show that the writer knows what they are talking about they must write in a more academic manner. It helps the readers have a sense of trust that what the writer has written is true and factual. Readers will most likely find it very unnerving if someone writes a Wikipedia article as if they were texting their homies. As long as the writer maintains a professional and explanatory, or informative, tone the reader should have no problem understanding the article. Unless the writer actually doesn't know what they are writing about...then not so much.
