Revision as of 04:07, September 12, 2018
, 04:07, September 12, 2018→Another Job for your Bot: thanks!
I see your bot does a lot of grammar corrections. Well, there's one grammar mistake I am consistently seeing on pages. It's periods being outside quotation marks "like this". when they should be inside "like this." [[User:Shobson20|Shobson20]] ([[User talk:Shobson20|talk]]) 19:43, 11 September 2018 (EDT)

:While I prefer the periods inside the quote, I believe this issue really depends on where you live and what dialect you use. I think having the period go before the quote mark is what is usually preferred in the U.S., so CP probably should favor it. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 20:52, 11 September 2018 (EDT)

::I have always assumed that it should go inside, but to make sure, I did a little quick research. What I found seems to agree for the US (here is a good summary: http://grammartips.homestead.com/inside.html). I am in the middle of preparing for my first HTTP-->HTTPS link update, so it may take some time to get around to this. However, this is a good suggestion and I appreciate it! I will attempt to add a rule to my bot for future grammar checks to correct this issue. Thank you for the input! --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 00:07, 12 September 2018 (EDT)
