SCP Foundation

There's enough interesting here that I'm willing to up-vote. There a few problems (like a missing full stop or two) but you have the basics down pat— using metric, having somewhat creative containment procedures (forcing the lightswitch to stay up is something that most people wouldn't really think of), and having a fair bit of internal consistency— this line:

Although there are no lights or appliances in Boise-3283's structures, electric devices brought by exploration teams do function when plugged into power outlets in these structures.

Bugged me, until I realized: "No shit they're going to have power in a house that's under construction. They need some way to power the tools."

There's some oddness here and there too, like:

early Smith000s

I'm assuming you meant "Early 2000s". "Smith0" shows up a lot in here, actually, at least three times.

There's even some pretty good character writing:

The Foundation will be glad to know that I am still batting a perfect .000 on discovering ghosts in my career.

The dialog's even got some personality to it, which isn't something you often see in MTF Meat Grinders.

It's got a few issues, still, like [REDACTED] not being in all-caps, and redacting the end to O5 clearance is unnecssary. Could have used a bit more time on the skillet, but you can still cook it a little more (which, in this metaphor, means re-write now that it's posted). I like it enough to upvote, despite the issues I pointed out.

Two small issues

+Please validate your O5-level clearance to continue

Idk if this is a style choice, but there should be a space between the + and Please. Also is it specifically O5-Level or Level 5. There is a difference between the O5's and Level 5's

Otherwise, this is a pretty well written article

+1

Not bad. Only part that doesn't make sense to me is, why Smith even tried to get back through the door? Seems he got what he wanted. Unless it was just to ensure the Foundation would shut the door and keep it shut?

Edit: also, I think the Bible excerpt may explain a little too much.

I actually got in-person feedback on this from somebody today! What a small world :). After talking to them, I changed the titles of Dr Arcia's research note and the literary analysis. My impromptu editor pointed out that some of the perceived tone issues could be due to the fact that these sections have titles that sound clinical but are intended to be more like informal internal documents that were added to the entry for completeness' sake. Hopefully this change makes the tone of those passages less jarring to readers.

I wanted to like this, but I just couldn't. There were a lot of formatting issues and inconsistencies, like a [REDACTED] in the O5-only section, some awkward phrasing, and the weirdly phrased footnotes. Unfortunately it's going to have to be a -1 from me.

Caught a misspelling I myself have made in the past. It is "Duct tape," not "Duck tape." I think some brands use the latter but formally it's Duct Tape.

This is insanely well written. It's neither your spoopy extradimensional basement nor a monster in a box, but something in between. If more articles were written with this length and care, the SCP community would be viewed as the highest elite authors.

This is really well written and put together but one thing bothers me, “Outside the city limits of Boise-3283 is a dense boreal forest covering all of the planet so far mapped by the Foundation”. And entire planet covered almost entirely in trees, assuming that they’re all alive and healthy the atmosphere of Boise-3283 would most likely be greater than earth’s, which oxygen consists of 21% of the atmosphere, and with all those trees producing oxygen the atmosphere would most likely be at least 35% or higher. Some effects of higher oxygen levels include increased size of insects, and a highly flammable atmosphere, and if the forest was thick enough one fire could burn down the entire planet.

I really liked this scp, its pretty well written and has more personality than some other scps, Just one problem. At the end of the last collapsible, It says "Given recent events, the Administrator feels the book warrants closer inspection. Perhaps Dr. Arcia got what he wanted after all." and I didn't get what Dr. Arcia wanted, also wasn't he in the exploration of the scp?

At the heart of it, this is a flawed article. There are some pretty glaring SPaG issues and formatting quirks that were major enough to detract from my ability to read the article. The most notable of those is the placement of lines in the exploration log right next to each other without breaks, which causes a wall of text appearance that's hard to read.

The dialogue is also a weak point, and there were a few pieces of dialogue that I disliked. It was a bit hard to follow the dialogue at points, particularly at the end of the second exploration log, where I read it a few times but still wasn't sure of what was happening.

However, I did still enjoy this despite the flaws. I read through to the end, despite a lot of the above flaws being enough to make me stop reading in most. It's a nice atmospheric article, and when I was able to follow the action it was engaging. Although it could be improved, I did like this enough to upvote.
