This is a draft of the article for an SCP code-named "Someone You Know". Please read it an give me your reaction. (there WILL be a picture in the final article, by the way)

I like this. It is a monster that is fine if you just leave it alone, but then again the Foundation would just "leave something alone" would it? Cool. The part at the end about the D-Class missing was just the right amount of mystery to keep us interested.
I've re-written the article to make SCP-XXX a bit creepier and removed most of its generic-ness. Please take a look at the new version!
I've finally added a picture, and I think it might be ready for release.
The tone needs work. Also, Keter? Really? No.
I think the idea should be fleshed out a bit more before you post.
Do they need to feed the entity? Is it biological? The two hour time limit seems inappropriate considering the Addendum which implies a containment breach in about 2 minutes. If the SCP is not very physically powerful, how did they escape? Why did they put it back in an inadequate containment area? How could they know they had recaptured the SCP and not the D class? How did the escapee avoid recapture? 05 would want reasoned conjecture as to how it got away at the very least. Also, please use a spell checker. Overall, the tone could stand to be more like a scientific report summarized for an administrator.
Ah. I get it… Editing now.
Okay, I feel that it's ready for release unless someone says otherwise. This is the final version, go take a look.
Improved, but could use some more work. The Foundation is both ruthless and efficient about recapturing SCPs. They would pump poisonous gas through the whole complex and kill their own personnel to get the creature. They have nuked their own facilities on several occasions. They caught it once, they will do it again. This is good for you as a story teller. They can now give a preliminary autopsy report on (what is left of) the creature, something the article would probably benefit from.
The log has the D-class carrying a video camera, but the report implies that the doctor can watch from another one.
Does it need to be fed? mopped up after? you might mention a clearance level requirement to send someone in for tests and stuff.
The attitude of the doctor implies they are surprised. Most doctors around here keep eating their chili con carne while watching a screaming D-class be turned inside out. They only care when it gets out and jumps at them.
Admins want to know how hard is it to contain, what it can do, and how to kill it if needed. Some of this info can be [DATA REDACTED]
I would set the log to level 3 security if at all.
It is minor, but the phrase: 'One armed guard' is funny and distracting to me.
Where does it say that one of these things was killed? An autopsy would be interesting, but there's nothing to autopsy. Anyway, I'm editing it. Thanks for the input.
It doesn't say it, I was suggesting you put in that they found the escapee and killed it and got to study the body or charred corpse/partial remains/left toe. If they have two of something that duplicates, killing one seems desirable.
Also, if they have the ability to change humans into more of themselves, one is uncontained AND that they are dangerous, I might even put this at keter. I mean, what's to stop the loose one from turning the rest of the planet into things like them?
