Also, why did you put everything interesting in the addenda?

This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-1947.
(account deleted)I like the document but the rest of this was so bland that I almost didn't read it.
Don't redact in the containment procedures.
Make this something other than a platonic solid.
Add SOMETHING to the main description to give this some flavor.
No vote.
Edit: The pictures make this, plus you improved the description. +1
Not terrible (I don't have the knee-jerk reaction to spherical SCPs), but I can't find anything here to be interested about, and it's long for not having much of interest. -1
Gee you guys sure hate spheres.
I've changed it slightly as per suggestions. Still happy to take criticism, suggestions etc.
I wanted to make a hard sci-fi SCP but back to the drawing board I suppose.
Normally the shaped SCP's are just a sphere or cube that does some random thing for no reason. Seeing how this is a transmission module made to travel through space, however, it actually makes sense for it to be shaped like that.
It emits/emitted microwaves? Or micro waves?
I'm neutral about this. All I got from it was that it's some sort of sphere that makes images about the galaxy? I think the writing and tone are, for the most part, fine. It's the idea/concept I don't like much.
Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic wave. Like UV or visible light or radio waves.
…Where's the SCP item number? You should fix it so it at least follow standard formatting.
EDIT: Thank you. Now, if you could address the issues other people have said that'd be lovely.
Living the dream, or dreaming the life?
You guys realize spheres aren't platonic solids right? (that's not saying they aren't overused.)
With that said, I get the idea. Alien race sends out a probe with information about themselves. Foundation researcher cracks the code, and sends the probe a command code unintentionally. Probe is now broadcasting our existence and position back to an unknown race that may or may not be friendly. Threat to normality established.
The trouble is that before readers figure that out, a good number will get bored and go hit the down rating button.
I'd suggest working that into the description more explicitly instead of leaving it as the logical conclusion at the end or people aren't going to get it before their minds are already made up.
Once it's in the main description, you could then break the images and text out into individual addenda for people that want to read more.
Also, and I could be wrong here, but I have a feeling that a consensus prefers a good chunk of horror in their entries. Perhaps the object is actually a trap used to help locate prey, and now that it's been sprung the probe's self defense mechanisms kick in? (of course that sounds a bit cliche now that I've written it.)
We already have lots horrific things. Need some more innocuous things in there for texture.
Agreed. Not everything has to be horror. This is pretty interesting as it is. I like it.
