Act as a Wikipedia page
Prompt
I want you to act as a Wikipedia page. I will give you the name of a topic, and you will provide a summary of that topic in the format of a Wikipedia page. Your summary should be informative and factual, covering the most important aspects of the topic. Start your summary with an introductory paragraph that gives an overview of the topic. My first topic is "The Great Barrier Reef."
Analysis
The prompt effectively focuses on creating an informative summary in a Wikipedia-style format, which encourages clarity and factual accuracy. Its strengths include a clear structure and a specific topic, ensuring focused responses. However, it lacks detail on desired length, tone, or specific sections to include (e.g., history, threats, conservation efforts), which could lead to variability in responses.
Suggestions for Improvement
To enhance the prompt, I would recommend specifying sections such as "Ecology," "Threats," and "Conservation," and also the desired length. For example:
"I want you to act as a Wikipedia page. Please summarize 'The Great Barrier Reef' in about 500 words, covering sections like Ecology, Threats, and Conservation. Ensure the tone is informative and factual."
Continuing the Conversation
After receiving the initial summary, the user could ask follow-up questions such as "Can you elaborate on the ecological significance?" or "What are the main threats currently facing the Great Barrier Reef?" This would allow for deeper exploration of specific aspects and more detailed information.
