While I do enjoy the actual paperwork, there are a few things things keeping me from giving this a +1. There are a few SCP-XXXX's in the article, and the standard lined paper seems a little unprofessional for an organization like the Foundation, in my opinion. This is a good concept that could have been executed cleaner. No vote.
Are you complaining about the loose leaf type lined paper or lined paper in general?
I can appreciate the bizarre approach this article takes, but cursive might not be the way to go for something like this. That's just my opinion, but it seems out of the norm of what the Foundation might do with official documents. Also I agree with MrAnakinSpecter about the lined paper.
I'm going to +1 this, but revisions are definitely needed.
Perhaps the foundation could write the regular text in another language? That seems perfectly in character as the foundation would want to hide their own notes from the entity.
Of course, if the esteemed author doesn't know a 2nd language, he or she could just make one up and claim the foundation made it up just to make notes on this SCP.
Keep in mind, especially for readers and authors who are at work/school, most photo sharing sites are blocked. You should probably upload the files directly to the wiki.
Well, requiring the standard lined paper is part of the scp, so I don't have a problem.
I kinda liked it. Only thing that stopped me from an upvote, is how quick and jarring the last paragraph is.
"Oh, this other scp was nearby, came in and ate the researcher. Yep, that's it! Seeya later."
So yah, I'd suggest working on the tone and depth of the ending.
The ending was unneeded, aside from that is article was grade A, with a quite lovely twist on classic formating. +1
Just don the mask of whoever you wish to be, The rest follows.
I agree that it may seem a bit extraneous, but it goes to show that the scip may actually be effective in handling breaches. My only qualm is that it happens too suddenly. It's just a casual "Hey, you're gonna die" and bam. Why didn't he just tell her directly? Minor qualm. Overall, I like the character and the effect, I just hope you smooth out the end addendum of you decide to keep it. Of course, editing will be a pain, but hopefully you smooth it out a bit. Up oat.
hmm, i, for a lack of a better word, like? this article, i mean, this article gets a thumb up from me, but the article definitely needs work, but the thing that really got my upvote was the torn pieces of pages in place of data lost, that is, if that was the effect that you were going for
edit: mixed up redacted with data lost, for example: but the thing that really got my upvote was the torn pieces of pages in place of redacted
COMMUNISM WILL WIN!!!
Good SCP there! +1 for me.
I love the concept of an SCP that can inhibit writing and I do believe this has alot of potential as becoming Thauminel in the future, although currently I can see why others have the problem with the ending.
The SCP-XXXX idea is a little harsh, considering it means we don't know exactly what SCP it was used against, and thus forth, what it can be used against. I like the concept, though, great work!
You had to write all this out, right? Well, what if 3222 was already taken?
Also, small nitpick, but the papers are written in pen and not pencil, at least, it looks like it's written in pen.
I wrote it all out with blanks where I later wrote 3222! I didn't fill them in until I was ready to pick a number, and naturally I did it as fast as I could. (It sure would have been inconvenient to erase all of that…)
Also, it is written in pencil, I just darkened the scans so that it was more legible.

it's actually decently noticeable, since the the weight and shape of the numbers doesn't quite match that of the rest of the document. Also, there are some iterations where the space left blank initially doesn't quite fit all the numbers consistently. But then, I'm a psyc major who has a few books on handwriting anaylsis
